DD 8 and 9 - Getting Ready for DH's Appt

September 14th, 2016 at 02:08 am

Going on 9 days of no soda! I almost gave in to temptation today, but told myself that no, I didn't need it. It was just habit - in CVS, get a couple of sodas ...

Day 8 I had about 79% of the Daily Dozen, and today I had about 98%.

I tried adding a 1/2 cup of oatmeal and 1/2 cup of black beans to my smoothie ... Hmm... interesting. I will have to experiment with how much liquid (was too thick.)

In listening to the book when I went on a 40 minute walk in the rain this afternoon, he was talking about the health benefits of ground ginger.

Headaches/Migraines, Menstrual cramps, PMS symptoms, etc., etc. I'm wondering if it would help me with my sinus headaches ... Doesn't hurt to try, right? Smile

---
I hadn't spent any money this week since Saturday (ok, did buy some stuff from Amazon yesterday - silicon baking mats, a cookbook for the InstantPot and Miso)

This afternoon though I had to stop at CVS to pick up my DH's prescription for preparing for his colonoscopy. $50. Ouch.

I'm really trying to keep myself out of there unless there is a *really* specefic reason to be in there (like picking up a prescription)

I managed to get out with just buying a *little* bit of chocolate (which, yes, I ate ...)

I'm almost finished with listening to How Not to Die and now am waiting for the hard copy from the library. There's so many things I want to take special note of, but he goes so fast sometimes, or my "person" who tells me how long I've walked, etc. cuts in for 20 seconds+ ...May end up buying a copy ... (if I can find it used)

    You threw me for a few moments there, Frugal Texan. Since when does she have two daughters aged 8 and 9, I thought. Is this the other Laura's blog? What? Lol.

    I look at these ideas but lack the knowledge to action. Would value your opinion.

    Too funny Petunia Smile
    Snafu, Those look like good recipes. I have her site bookmarked, along with a few others. I'm just really wanting a hard copy of the particular recipe book - had it on my wedding registry but was out of stock til now.

    Which IP cookbook did you get? I have the New Fast Food cookbook and everything I've made has been great so far. I'm so impressed with your daily dozen and cooking progress!! I think have How Not to Die somewhere but I never finished it...might have to dig it out!

    Congratulations on giving up soda! There's not one thing positive about it health-wise -- and plenty of downside. And it wastes money to-boot. I think your focus on health is really going to pay off for you. Keep it up!

    Kashi - I bought O M Good Oil free plant based Instant Pot (something like that). I have your book on my list to buy too. Smile Glad to hear you like it! Do find it and finish it! Smile I really like how he backs up what he's saying with scientific studies, but also makes them in usable layman terms.

    Thanks Jenn. Smile I've tried before and managed a bit more than a year ... Trying again to *really* get away from it.
