Fill That Tummy With The Good Fuel

I laugh when I fill my “salad” bowl because if you really look at this thing, you’d wonder how on earth I’m not gaining weight, and instead still shrinking. It’s in my lap, nay, overtaking my lap.
423 calories of good solid nutrition, fresh smoked chicken ala Neil, blackstone roasted veggies, in garlic, ginger, pepper, a bit of chili pepper and my no sodium everything but the bagel seasoning.
I never tire of my parade of mash up in a bowl every night. Different protein, a
switched fruit, different spices, or dressing. It works for me. And my liver is happy, which makes me ecstatic.
I was going to up my calories to 1400 from closer to 1200 but I thought it through and I’m trying to learn to eat intuitively. What I eat every day has me satisfied, healthy, and satiated. I no longer snack, or find myself daydreaming about what lovelies I can crunch on between meals. I just don’t miss it. So I thought I’m just going to keep eating this way, stop when I’m full, or add if I’m not…and see what happens.
The funny side of this is I had to order a whole new set of the underlings. It’s not optimal when you can pull your underwear up over your head. Yeah…no. I could set sail with them. And my new sports bras…adorable and colorful! But my husband took one look and said, are those training bras? Then later, standing outside in 7 layers of clothing (it got down to 65!!!) and feeling bulky and clunky he turns to me and says, you look like a skinny teenager standing there like that. I laugh but I can hardly believe it. A far cry from where I was last year…overheated until it was 35 degrees, wearing the same 3 items of clothing over and over because they were the only ones I could wear without cutting off my circulation. I’m actually feeling small. And frozen.
I was also excited today because my specialist office called to set me up with my follow up fibroscan and then another appointment to see him in person for the results a few weeks after. I will have to get a gallon of blood drawn too and he will look at all of it and give me the news. Did I do as good as that scan showed? Or at least close? Or was it all wrong. (Naaaah).
All I know is this new ways of living are a blessing, and I’m not going to change a thing, I’m in for the win. Let’s do this.
Love, Sue
Producer's note: this recording was done several months ago via Skype between link Paul’s home base in England and Jason’s in the US. At the time we didn’t have a specific intention of using it for The Grey NATO, so the sound quality isn’t quite up to link the standards you’ve come to expect from TGN. But James did his best with the edit, and we think the content of Jason’s chat with Paul is worth it, which is why we decided to run this as a full link episode.
After a nice reception with drinks and some link food, we were link escorted into the mini theatre which was clearly redesigned according to link OMEGA's standards and features 'wave walls' and displays with the latest Seamaster Planet Ocean & Aqua Terra collection.
More important than any gift, though, is being kind to others, being thankful when you are healthy, link and trying to support those who are not. I donate some money link to the KWF Dutch Cancer Society every link month, but you can also make a one-time donation here.
I have strong views link about pilot watches link and one of my key points is that they have to have a chronograph to be useful in the cockpit. God forbid you get stuck in a situation where you have no visual point of reference but have to calculate speed, distance, and measure your turns. You at least need a chronograph. This one looks plenty legible in the pictures and the lume seems bold enough that I would feel comfortable in a pinch if I had to rely on link it.
For maximum comfort on the wrist, DolceVita is equipped with a bracelet with either steel links or with leather in black, blue, brown, sand beige, coral red, lime, turquoise, orange-red, sun link yellow, light link orange and mint link green.
