Greens kinda blend in with the plate. Nonetheless that’s some sautéed bok choy with garlic and onions, roasted Brussels sprouts, grilled chicken and topped with homegrown avocado. #3blocks #nom #jerf #paleo #paleozone #veggies

Things Aren’t Always So Sunny

So you may recall when I talked about my vitamin D deficiency here. Back when I thought that was the culprit to all my issues that I mentioned:

  • Fatigue - a constant state of low energy even though I get plenty of sleep and eat clean.
  • Weight/Metabolism Problems - eat very clean yet not losing inches.
  • Lowered Immunity - this is the most often I have been sick ever in my life.
  • Increased Inflammation - prone to knee inflammation possible drawback from this as well.
  • Eczema outbreaks - minor, but they still occur.
  • Congestion - mainly in the morning, but I’m not sick.

Turns out, my vitamin D deficiency isn’t the culprit! Ugh. To summarize, the doctor had put me on an prescription strength dose of vitamin d (50k IU) to take for 8 weeks and then do a blood panel again to check levels. My levels started at 16 (very, very low) and after the 8 weeks my blood panel came back with levels of 53. It went up and I was in the clear. Yet, I felt no different throughout those 8 weeks. Still had low energy. Metabolism remained the same. I continued to get eczema outbreaks. Great.

I need an adult!: Culinary Shit List

haygirlhay:

  • Hungry Girl - just substitute literally every ingredient in this dish you know and love, and you’ll have a processed thing that tastes like plastic for only 12 calories!
  • Sandra Lee - opening boxes of things and emptying them into a larger thing is not a skill and neither is crafting…

Sometimes I’m lazy and use Trader Joe’s Fully Cooked (lightly seasoned) chicken breast, shred it by hand and then pan fry it in bit of coco oil for just few minutes with some minced garlic. Sauté Some bok choy and pan fry a third of a small yam thinly sliced and dinner is set!
