Back!

April 13th 2007 18:56
Hey guys, I'm not feeling much better but feel like it's time to go back to posting.
I had a kidney ultrasound on Monday - that was clear but they found protein in a urine test (gross, sorry) and the doctor I saw yesterday thinks it might be nephritis. My regular doctor's office is setting up an appointment for me with a kidney specialist. I'm hoping everything will be OK. We'll see.
I'm without my computer right now (cat chewed through the power cord) so I haven't been as up-to-date on my health blogs as I'd like. We've ordered a new cord though, and it should come in a couple of days.

So how was everyone's Easter? I was concerned about Easter this year because of the abundance of chocolate, marshmallow Peeps, and jelly beans that are synonymous with Easter. Obviously on a low-carb diet, no candy is allowed (although I did have an Atkins bar). I almost got away without any, but ended up eating a few pieces of Matt's when he wasn't looking! Now it is safely hidden away where I can't reach it
Why does it seem like every holiday in America is an excuse to eat candy? Valentine's day and Halloween are especially notorious. Every holiday I try to prepare myself for all the candy that's going to be around, and either don't buy it, or buy some and tell myself it's just for Matt and I won't eat it (of course I end up eating it!). Do Americans really need any more candy with all the excesses of food we have already?
Well, I've moved on from Easter and have resumed low-carbing. Tonight's dinner will be a steak and a salad. I also may make some flax muffins from a great recipe I got - I'll post that soon. They're delicious!
Stay tuned...

Oh now don't be so hard on us Americans! Not ALL of us eat or drink to an excess, are out of shape, and have an addiction....I happen to be one of them lol..But I will admit to the occasional Cadbury Cream Easter Egg...!




Take care,


Nick

Nick,
Very true! My apologies
I had a Cream Egg myself so I'm not so innocent
