This Thursday is also my eye check with the Ophthalmologist. I'm keeping that appointment just to make sure everything's ok and the small time I was on the Plaquenil didn't do any damage (seeing as I did have massive sun sensitivity and retinal after-burn issues.)
My favorite Kombucha.
It's expensive, so I don't get it very often.
I must be part fairy because I love "floral" food and drinks.
In the meantime I'm trying to eat well and take care of myself. I'm also learning I stink at guessing how many calories are in something. Thank goodness for technology and apps so I don't have to guess.
This was last night's dinner. Care to guess how many calories? It's a turkey burger on a gluten free bun (that was awful and I didn't eat), low fat refried bean dip with 1/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend and 1 tbsp sour cream. Those are organic corn tortilla chips, about 1 cup. Then we have cast iron skillet sautéed Shishito peppers. Oh yeah, there's also about 1/4 cup cheese curds on the turkey burger patty.
Honestly I would have guessed about 500 calories (without the bun.) Actually it was 900 calories. I would have been off by almost half!
But then my breakfast this morning I would have guessed wrong the other way. I would have thought about 900 calories for what you see here. Nope! More like 300. See!? This is hard!
This wouldn't be a typical breakfast for me. I consider it a "special Sunday brunch" meal. But really it has about the same amount of calories as 2 pieces of avocado toast. I would never have thought that.
And that's why I'm trying to pay close attention and really track my food. Because apparently I have a lot to learn.
