Toodles

My sis sent out an email for her Stampin site and ended it with TOODLES.

I read that and laughed.  I thought that was funny and cute.  Emailed her and told her I was going to use it if it was ok with her.  She emailed back and said the funny thing was - when she wrote it, she heard my voice in her head saying it.  Ha ha ha. 

M cried a bit the first 2 nights, but last night I heard him playing a bit.  Today he played a bit again and explored the upstairs a bit too.  He's found a chair to be 'safe' in on the main floor and slept a bit on the cat stand downstairs.  He's on the back of the couch - only because I put him there.  He's really starting to feel better around he.  I still feel he misses his brother and foster mom and is leery to trust me.  Tho he's thrilled with the meals I give him, especially the piece of smoked salmon he got for lunch.  M's still on a leash too but able to run around.  Few times he's run up to the meditation room - his safe place.

Hunger is still there a bit.  Last night made butternut squash, spinach and topped it with almond butter / maple syrup.  (me - Waldern's Farm syrup)  I really like this dinner.  Tonight's another fav - wrap, sausage, sauerkraut, pickle, BBQ sauce and mayo.

I'm lousy at inputting my macros, no surprise for me.  I just don't like doing that.  So it's a bit of a challenge, not the carbs but to get the fat in.  I'm mostly working at keeping the carbs low and finding fat to get in.  And then watching the protein is a bit more balanced.  I am down 7 pounds since Oct 7.  Happy with that.  At first, trying to get those macros down in Carb Manager was a lot of work for me.  Then too it was at 1000 cals too.  I just couldn't keep it that low.  Part of the reason I stopped inputting.  I'm not worrying about greens as they don't have much in them either, as in carbs, overall.

Starting to feel better too.  Slept again this afternoon, can feel I'm starting to feel more up.  Think too the more fat is helping.  I didn't have that bad a reaction - mentally, emotionally or physically.  Even my blood work I did this week was better marks then last month's.  Hopefully soon I can stop the MTX injections completely.

On thing I haven't been able to regulate is HOT.  Ugh.... in the morning, afternoon and after dinner.  But then in the morning - coffee, afternoon and dinner - tea.  Then I'm melting, dripping.  

Watching Nova's TV on Addiction.  Is interesting, so I'm off to watch it.

Toodles!!!  

Yeah, I needed to use it.  😸😁
