Day Eighteen

WOO HOO!!  I just learned that a good friend of mine has published her first book!  I am SO excited!  I just ordered my copy of "Mercy Town" by R. delRio from Amazon!  It's available in paperback or for the Kindle.  I will post a review once I have read it.  Way to go, R. delRio!

I was lazy and slept in today.  It's been a long week and I would have slept longer if I hadn't gotten a work-type call.  It's still fairly cool so I may be able to ride this evening before it gets dark.  I am missing my rides.  Now that I'm up, dressed and ready to face the day, it's after 10:30.  No breakfast now, but I've got big plans for buying vegetables at the store today for roasting!  And there is a meat shop that's about fifteen minutes away that I want to stop by and see if they make their own hot dogs.  I know they still wouldn't be the height of healthy eating, but they would sure be a better splurge than the regular hot dogs!

I am very frustrated about the ads and media that I'm seeing about PCOS.  For example, insulin resistance does not cause PCOS.  Resolving your insulin resistance alone will not CURE you although it will help many of your symptoms.  Another line I read was that PCOS is linked to hormonal imbalance.  PCOS IS a hormonal imbalance.  How is anyone supposed to find facts when there is so much information is misleading or inaccurate?

So, I have decided to write a series of articles clearing some of the fog surrounding PCOS.  I will be sure to post the links as I complete the articles.  I should have my first article up in the next day or two.

Dan got his hair cut today.  It was longer than mine and now, it's a more professional look.  Much better for getting his foot in the door as a dealer in a casino.  At least we hope it is!  I gave away two PartyLite tealights  and a business card to the ladies at Sports Clips where Dan got his haircut.  They were so nice and friendly, as well as excited about free candles, that it was lots of fun!

Dan is going to try taking my bike for a ride in the next few days to see how he likes it.  :) Yeah!  

Food Log

No breakfast.

Lunch:  grilled hamburger with lettuce, tomato and red onion.  One hot dog and some roasted brussel sprouts.  The outer leaves that turned dark brown did have a hint of a popcorn taste.  I just rolled them in about a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and added a pinch of Real Salt and some freshly ground black pepper.  I roasted them on the grill and I think it was a bit too hot.  They weren't as done in the middle as I would have liked.  Let's give a big round of applause to Dan's aunt, Cyndie, for her help in making vegetables more yummy!

Dinner:  One tamale, two flautas and four chips with salsa.  My tummy reminded me that this was a big mistake almost immediately after I was done eating.  I wish I knew why I did things like this so I could break these habits a little easier.  I reminded myself to only eat a few chips, but then I ordered foods that I know are not good for me.  I'm certain that over time this will get easier.  It's just not easy yet.
