June 27 Friday Trigger Warning---post contain thoughts about a dessert Good morning.. ☕☕ Sipping proffee The visit with Lukas went well. My emotional world is pretty calm right now. Ann Luckstead (the name of rmy habit brain) is calm. Weight is good. Will compile stats on Monday and share. My bloodwork looks good. Dr Tro wants to tweak my Armour thyroid just a smidge. Overall he is happy with how things are. Weight continues to scooch down. He is not too worried about me from a cardiovascular standpoint. I do have a big family history of cancer (tongue, breast, colon) and I am being proactice with screening and healthy lifestyle. Of course the autoimmune is a concern; however, things have been stable and I am doing great with the plaquenil. As you know, once you have one autoimmune illness...others tend to crop up. Overall--a good report. I am to keep on keeping on. This is my husband's last day of work at Amarillo College. 24 years there. Wow. I really like this skinny mix syrup I put in my proffee. Just 1 TBSP is enough sweetness/flavor. The salted caramel mocha. Much better than the SF Torani. July 3rd is family dinner. Taco pile up. AND Carrot cake. Carrot cake is my favorite and this carrot cake is supposed to be the best ever. It was featured on Shark Tank. So my plan for July 3rd. Make a taco salad with the taco fixin's--do not fill up on the taco salad--so a smaller portion. Have a small slice of carrot cake. SIL tends to serve a large portion--I have troubles stopping at only half of a large portion (I know me)--so I will ask for a smaller portion. Still plenty. Enjoy, savor, eat slowly. I like this image. I feel great about the choice. I want to try the carrot cake that is supposed to be stellar. I know that this will be plenty. And if not, I can have something eat later on. To me this feels very doable and enjoyable. Still on plan and in the spirit of low carb. The most important thing is that I like my choice. A planned decision. A thoughtful, mindful choice. I can do this. 🌻
