dining out – Seclusion 101 with AnneMarie

Today is Day 275 of my Daily Food Diary – and poof another ten days of 2025 have passed – just like that! 🫰

Yesterday was another somewhat productive day. It was warm enough to get outside and clean the interior of the Jeep. It is pretty much all leather, so climbing around with a spray bottle of leather cleaner, a wet cloth, and a dry cloth was more doable than the vacuuming extravaganza on Wednesday.

The reward for my efforts was a supper out at Fin’s Fish and Chips. Their food is hearty, healthy, yeast and palm oil free – and delicious. 🤩

Today is cool and raining off and on. We got in our morning walk with Molly.

Dan is off shopping. I am juggling my morning routine with getting our house in order. The days have been going by so quickly that I haven’t done a good solid cleaning for a bit and it is beginning to show. 🙄

I still have my aerobics and weights to do, but at least the porch is clean. But first.. it is time to tackle the kitchen.

It’s been 90 days – THREE FULL MONTHS since I started my Daily Food Diary and began posting it on here.🎊

In March, I have been tracking and noting my protein consumption. I am surprised that I not only meet, but often surpass, the daily recommended amount of protein. From what I have read, too much protein can cause digestive issues. Since I seldom have digestive issues since I quit eating yeast, I am not really concerned. I think that between my lung issues and my genetic collagen issues, chances are I just use/need more protein in my diet. If an issue ever shows up on my routine blood work, I may have to revisit that thought.

Last night we rounded off the month with a meal to a local Buffet Palace. It is hardly fine dining, but good, basic food – and one restaurant where I can avoid yeast quite easily.

Today starts a new month and a new focus. For April I am going to track my SALT and SUGAR consumption. This one’s going to hurt. I love both and I know neither are good for anyone – especially anyone with multiple lung conditions that cause mucus issues. 😢
