Although I am still very interested in losing and maintaining weight while exploring and celebrating new and interesting foods, I find that I now have to learn how to manage this with LPR (Laryngopharyngeal reflux), an acid reflux disease that affects the voice and respiration.

New Goal
I've come up with a new goal. I haven't given up on my previous goals, but this is something new and different. Since Ken will be coming to my place every other day to take care of his support socks, I've decided that I'm going to try to get him to eat some healthier meals. Ken's diet is filled with highly processed foods. He reads my blog, so this might be something of a surprise to him. I don't know how he'll react.
On Thursday, I made my chicken thighs and rice. He liked that. And today, I made pork tenderloin with spinach. Ken doesn't like spinach, so I made steamed carrots for him. I was worried about it because I put vinegar in the pork. He actually said it was good. That was a relief. Tomorrow night I'm going to make an Irish beef stew that has Guinness in it. If it turns out, I'll probably try to get him to try it.
So Ken, did I screw up my plans by announcing them here? I guess I'll see what he says tomorrow....
The picture above is Joey in her new throne. The previous owner had put an old concrete, field tile in front of my back door. I fill it with succulents, i.e. cactus, hens 'n' chicks, aloe, etc. Well, I'm going to be moving it this summer so I haven't planted anything in it yet. I put the dogs outside, and Joey decided that was her throne. As the sun set, it must have gotten cold so she moved to one of the patio chairs. Miss Queen Bee Joey likes her comforts.

Her royal highnessJumpy Joey!! W/ her hair cut, she really looks like Kea. We definitely need to get them together for a play-date. I'll take Ken's spinach if he won't eat it, but does he know about Popeye?!!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't broken hearted that he doesn't like spinach. It meant there was more for me. I got spinach and kale planted in my garden the other day. I'll be sure to share.
ReplyDeleteYes, a play-date is called for. Although, I think Joey might play a little too rough. She's used to dealing with Buddy
