What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

I can come over and help with the cookies.
I know you're on a fairly restrictive diet, but I find a small amount (1 ice cream-shop scoop or less) of full-fat premium ice cream satisfies far better than a larger amount of other stuff. *sticks face back into her dish of Graeter's*
Unless it's gelato, of course.

I decided to follow your advice I did damage with the cookies yesterday, and much to my surprise this afternoon I was satisfied with the ice cream after I carefully measured out a serving. Just to be safe all I purchased was a pint of Ben & Jerry's to see if I can be trusted with ice cream in my freezer...

And, uh, if you decide you can't, I'll take it off your hands...

Yesterday:
My usual cereal with 1%
Sun chips, Bolthouse protein thing, cabbage slaw
Chai
Indian-spiced beef, rice, spinach, two handfuls of cherries
mocha chocolate chip ice cream

Today:
Cereal w/ 1%
Sun chips
Bison burger with tomato, onions and BBQ sauce, homemade fries, jalapeno slaw (red and green cabbage, carrots, jalapenos), watermelon salsa, corn on the cob, half a beer
small amount of peach daquiri
grilled peach with balsamic glaze

I might have some yogurt, strawberries and granola later...

Oh that won't be necessary, there won't be any left should I discover I can't be trusted around it I DID NOT, however, get my favorite. I love good mint-chocolate chip but of course they don't have that in Ben and Jerry's pints. So I forced myself to get the raspberry cheesecake with white chocolate and swirls. Hard job, but someone has to do it.

No ice cream unless ride > 35 miles. It will be interesting to see what happens to my weekly mileage total with this approach

Maybe I should try that as a way to limit my ice cream addiction. Or not......

I'll be interested to see what additional tests reveal about my thryoid. Perhaps I've gotten away with eating ice cream like I do because it's been overactive for some portion of the last year (since I last had it checked). It seems odd though because I don't have most of the symptoms one generally associates with it. Here's hoping that it's nothing, although I think that might overly optimistic of me, given that I have a sister with Grave's disease. Maybe they just caught it really early.

I have to say for certain, any restaurant job where one is standing on their feet for an evening or day shift, does require burning off enough calories.

Watching servers run around in a moderately busy restaurant, I know that I couldn't have a job like that for a decade without burning out abit. Maybe that explains why my father could eat a large plate of rice with other stuff for dinner..for several decades of his life. He was full-time restaurant cook for over 5 decades of his life. And never overweight, actually abit underweight.
