The Neglect Is Over

Posted by Rishara Tuesday, November 24, 2009

Well, I think I've finally recovered from my latest sinus infection.  I still blame Januvia for making it worse.  I'm going to try to see a sinus specialist after the new year, because horrible sinuses are something I've been dealing with my entire life, and I'm pretty tired of it.  I've tried everything under the sun: allergy medicine, nasal steroids, sinus irrigation (I have one of those irrigators that is like a water pik for your nose), pepper spray (no kidding).  Everything offers very temporary relief but not much else.

I'm going to start posting numbers and recipes again starting tomorrow.  I've been suffering from a little bit of carb creep, so I really need to batten down the hatches and start keeping better track of what I'm eating again.  I haven't gained any weight, thankfully. 

I'll be sharing a few of my Thanksgiving dishes.  I really don't make anything terribly fancy, but I don't think Thanksgiving is about how complicated a meal is or how long you slave in the kitchen.  There's probably nothing more frustrating than spending hours and hours preparing something only to have it gobbled up in 10 minutes and then have to clean up. 

I'm off to make some tacos for dinner tonight.  Again, nothing extravagent.  Just beef, a very small amount of refried beans (I spread probably a tablespoon on each taco), cheese, sour cream and salsa on the 3 net carb tortillas (that way I can get away with two of them).

About Me

I'm a software developer by day and an avid computer gamer by night. I'm also a woman rapidly approaching middle-age with diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos). I'm embarking on a lowcarb lifestyle in an effort to become healthy and live past middle-age and well into old-age.
