First I managed 10,000 steps 6/7 days a week. And now I've been spinning! I'm up to 30 minutes, 3 days a week and this week I started to add some strength training \o/ Yesterday I started logging my food/water and all that jazz. I think the reason I've been stuck so long is I'm not drinking enough water. And I'm not getting enough protein. I appear to be the carb and fat lady according to my macro-nutrient thingy from my fitbit.

Recommendations: I need a non-gut-upsetting lean protein I can eat. No dairy, nothing fried, no avocado or nuts. Surely there's something besides eggs? Surely?

Pro-tip: carrying water around all the time doesn't do a thing if you don't DRINK it.

I've visited Nanny twice in her Rehab place AND I bought food from a grocery store yesterday. Now, I haven't gotten so much better that I've *cooked* but I did make sure I fruit and non-gut aggravating side dishes to go with my BLTs for dinner this week.

I've been watching what all Sue is cooking up on Facebook and I've saved a couple of her recipes and one from clean eating I saw last week. Mayhaps [sorry, I've been reading GoT fanfic something got me away from Harry Potter!] I'll soon be in a place where cooking isn't over-whelming and is merely a thing one does in this world.

I feel like by the time school starts -- I paid my tuition yesterday -- that I may be a fully functioning adult again.

Aw, YAY for incremental progress! My only lean? protein recommendation is ham cuz it's easy to do lunch meats, but it's also only so lean and salty AF, so it may not be what your gut is looking for. I know eggs can get tiresome, though, and cooking is Rough (I've done so little cooking lately, it's embarrassing. If it weren't for G, I'd be living on take out).

Here's to good things, Including that you've got tuition paid! :D! Progress!

It seems as though the only "easy" protein I can eat is sandwich meat. But that causes cancer. I need to learn to love eggs? Maybe I can rotate a bit between meat and egg so I won't get sick of it? Food issues are the pits

I take it that things like Tofu & Tempeh are too upsetting to your gut?

And there *are* nitrate free lunchmeats. If you have a Trader Joes near you, look for them.

They are. Which is freaking awful but there it is. I can't eat beans, avocado, peas, or any soy product. I didn't know there were nitrate free lunch meats. To Trader Joe's I go

Thanks
