Good morning! Five days down and only three hundred and sixty to go!
When I decided to do this 365 day Food Diary, my first concern was to make it as ‘doable’ as possible.
Choosing the best time of day was my biggest challenge. Retirement is an ongoing battle between getting things done and keeping my schedule flexible enough that I FEEL retired. I have found a pretty solid spot, between my morning coffee and newspaper and doing my morning workout. So far so good! š
My second challenge was tracking what I consumed throughout the day, so my diary would be as accurate as possible.
Day Five of Daily Food Diary…
(1) c coffee
(2) potato patties
(1/2) tomato
(4 1/2) slices thin sliced bacon
(2) eggs
(1) c tea
(2) chocolates
(1) Burger King Single Whopper without bun or cheese
(1) Order medium onion rings w/ gravy
(12) oz water
Burger King was not part of the plan yesterday. After spending over three hours at Emergency, due to a hernia issue that refused to resolve itself, I just wasn’t excited about making supper at 9:30 pm. This morning, Dan said he had no idea what I was capable of, if I was willing to sit in an emergency room for three hours just to score Burger King. Have to keep him guessing! š
Take care and have a great day! šš

Oh no, a hernia is not good! I have a mesh inside me from 20+ years ago holding a hernia together. It was a terrible experience! The food looks very good, Anne Marie!

Mine is an umbilical hernia that I had repaired three years ago. I don’t think the mesh ever did hold properly but usually it’s no big deal if it pops out. Yesterday, the stupid thing just referred to pop back in and it hurt like hell. I made an appointment to see my nurse practitioner tomorrow to get a referral back to the surgeon. Fun stuff but needs to be dealt with. š

Ouch, I hope you can get to the surgeon very soon, Anne Marie. It’s kind of scary that your innards can try to pop out, isn’t it? š§

Hi Annemarie,
Wishing the best for you. I like your “charge forward” attitude regarding getting the referral.
Prayers coming for you.
