Thanks so much, Mark.
Home sick today. Going off in a few minutes to get my thyroid tested. I suspect that's the problem -- as I lose weight, I keep needing less and less thyroid hormone. Taking too much of it gives me cardiac symptoms.
There's some TMI after the photos. Just sayin'.
Mom bought me a bag of Tootsie Rolls as a gift today. I didn't eat them; I'll put them in the snack dish at work tomorrow. I considered eating them for a moment, but I don't want to break my streak for any reason, much less for something junky.
Plan for today:
B: sweet potato fries
L: sweet potatoes and slaw
D: sweet potatoes and slaw
S: unfried ramen soup, fruit
Actual:
B: taro and radish cakes

Something's still constipating me. Might be metoprolol, in which case I probably need a plant-based doc to help me get off it. Might be potatoes/sweet potatoes, in which case I probably need an elimination diet. Will just be compliant for all of December and see if it goes away, and then if not, decide what to do then, and in the meanwhile, read a lot about the issue. Might go re-read Digestive Tune-up.
