Don’t eat pickles before going to bed
Before I went to bed last night- well not RIGHT before but like around 8 pm (I went to bed at 9:30) I was having an overwhelming craving for pickles- I pulled out the snackums jar and ate 9 mini pickles! 3 oz worth… Oh man so good but dangerous lol. Last night all my dreams where almost scary- I think it’s a culmination of my fears lately. I won’t go into details but let’s just say they involved dead people asking for help and me losing weight but hating my body and also not getting a position as a criminalist
Geez pickle you sure you got everything?!

I’m laying off the pickles! Killed my sodium for the day anyways - I had 2100 and then shot up to almost 3000 mg, but I’ll do better today.
I’m done with the antibiotics HALLELUJAH! So TODAY’s breakfast is a perfect 10 western healthy grain bagel (looks good with only 10 grams net carbs) and then a packet of french onion laughing cow AND a piece of babybel cheese- YES I AM CHEESING IT UP lol. :p
Oh man yesterday I made a yummy stir fry- I found from green giant this teriyaki vegetables pack, then I bought 12 ounces of cut up sirloin for stir fry. I made the components seperate. After my sister took her share I added half the steak (6 oz’s) to the veggies and then I had some leftover brown rice that my sister and I also ate. Hubby took the leftoever 6 oz of steak (God forbid he eat a vegetable) and made two wraps with his (I guess at least he had some fiber cuz he used the La Tortilla wraps), so meat, cheese, sour cream, and thousand island… Oh yeah that’s healthy… *rolls eyes*
I took a picture of my food but darnit forgot to upload it online… I’ll probably add it later tonight. But my portion was so big that I only ate about half of it and have packed the rest away for lunch today- yum
I will be honest and say while the flavoring of the veggies were good- the veggies weren’t that great- I felt it was mostly broccoli and next time I’ll just buy the sauce and then add my own veggies.
Tonight I am making brussel sprouts for dinner (yum) I haven’t made them in a while and I’m not even sure what I am going to do- but brussel sprouts are going to be the main focus tonight! Hubby’s like “I don’t like brussel sprouts” and I said “starve then…” Seriously I am getting so grumpy about his lack of trying new things- he says he’s eaten them before and doesn’t like him- I said in the ten years I’ve known you I have NEVER seen you eat one… He probably ate them as a KID or something- I swear I don’t know what I’m going to do with that man… I’ve told him a million times before what am I going to do when we have kids?! And he’s like “I’ll eat them then” I said you better or I’ll divorce you and you’ll never see your child again…” Yeah I know empty threat :p The real plan is to make fun of daddy for not eating his veggies lol.
Oh and got a note from my insurance saying hubby’s medication is not approved since it’s not FDA approved for people with MS. But the neurologist called me and said that he is trying to get it approved still and sent some research articles showing studies of people who have taken provigil who have MS and how it helped them. Still no news for me- but we’ll see what happens- the doctor said he’s pretty sure I’ll be approved because I have sleep apnea… Hubby says he will just deal with it… So frustrating but what can I do?
Oh and today I’m calling the nutritionist- I did better yesterday on carbs- but I can still improve.
Anyways- another slammed day at work- we have an audit next week and I’m gonna check out blogs while I eat my breakfast
Have a great day everyone!

I LOVE brussels sprouts!!! They are so tasty, especially pan roasted in the oven with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. MMMM! Now I want some sprouts!
My husband is picky, too. I have to give him credit - he will try new things, but the other night he had a bowl of cereal for dinner because he didn’t like the dark meat on a turkey leg. Bah!
LOL at you and your hubby’s convos and interactions. I have similar talks with my bf.
I had cravings last night too but mine were for more -nono- things lol.
Your food sounds scrumptious~ no reason why healthy living = bad food
LOL about the weird pickle dream. I love pickles, esp. those mini ones. I like brussel sprouts too. My mom used to make this yummy salad that had blanched broc, caulf, and brussel sprouts and them you marinate it with oil and vinegar. Yummy. Hey, I should make that again, hardly any calories!
Pickles? You must be pregnant!
Juuuust kidding. Thought i’d have a little fun with some of the recent comments and posts we’ve had dealing with how everything means youre pregnant if you’re a woman in your 20’s…
I think I want to eat pickles now to see if they give me fabulous dreams…
I cannot stand anything about brussel sprouts, and I beat your husband; I won’t even allow myself in the same house that they are being cooked in. HATE.THEM.THAT.MUCH. smell, taste, texture, everything. LOL
I don’t like brussel sprouts, but then again, it’s something I doubt I’ve tasted since childhood… I never ate saurkraut as a kid just based on the smell, but a couple months ago I tried some and kind of liked it. So perhaps there’s hope for dh.
LOL about the pickle dreams. BTW, pickles are another food I don’t like, but it’s only because I don’t care for the flavor of dill.
I love pickles/ In fact I am making a dill pickle meatloaf next week!
I love brussels.. when they are prepareed correctly. Roasting them in the best IMHO. Some people cook them so much they turn grey and look like blobs!
Hope things go well with ins co!
