That's pretty much where my stats were at this point, too. I tried to hit 80 in protein which sometimes upped my calories to 550-650, but this looks great!

Hi everyone,

JB, the school looks great!

QOTD: I drive a Toyota Tacoma. I love American trucks but the last one I owned was in the shop every other day and I probably paid for it 3 times over. You just can't depend on them. I've owned my Toyota for 7 yrs and and it's only been in the shop 1 time for a repair.

B: 2eggs, turkey breakfast sausage, 1/2 slice cheese.

Menu for the rest of the day is up in the air. I'm trying to figure this gout diet thing out and still get a decent amount of protein in .

Enjoy the rest of you day everyone!

JB the renovation looks fantastic! Good job!

I haven't had very much time to post on the menu thread this week but I've been around. I have been so busy at work and my daughters softball!

QOTD: I currently drive a 2001 Honda accord. It was my grandmothers car but she never drove it so I traded in my 2014 Chevy Traverse and bought it from her. It only had about 60k miles. No more outrageous monthly car payments!! I love it!!

B -coffee, corned beef & boiled egg

L - Ribs

S - yogurt

D - Steak

My picture is just a bathroom selfie.

That's an amazing transformation! I'm sure everyone will appreciate the colorful brightness and your efforts!

QOTD: I drive a 2015 Subaru Forester. It's a great car and it treats me better than I treat it as well. I've put 45K on it in a little over a year and a half. I decided I'd had enough of traffic today and I'm taking the train into Boston today. So nice to just sit here and relax!

I would definitely take the train every day if I could... It's more expensive than driving sometimes, but totally worth the mental health.

It's only 12pm, and I have already driven from Brockton to Waltham to Southie to Acton and back to Brockton. My poor poor car...

Back with a quick update from the Doc! Based on how I described my symptoms, he thinks it's marginal ulcers and wants to treat me with a PPI and Carafate for the next 30 days and see if it goes away. If I still have symptoms after 30 days of treatment, they will order an endoscopy and look around for other causes.

The doc also said he thinks the heart racing episodes that I have been describing sound like Atrial Flutter, and says I should go try to get my Primary Care doc to get me to a referral for a cardiologist, stat. Scary! Anyone else have experience with this?

Last weird thing that happened while I was there... someone in the waiting room was staring at me really intently like she knew me, but I swear I have never ever seen her before--not from a support group or anywhere else that I could think of... I wondered on my way home if she is a lurker and recognized me from here? If so, hi!

Hope the meds help. Hope you can get to your PCP quickly so you can find out about the heart. Feel better soon!
