Low carb menu
- Four eggs
- Two cinnamon flax muffins with butter
- Meatloaf with mayo & mustard and buttered broccoli
I make my meatloaf sans the glaze to save carb here and there, but it's very good. I do think it needs salt and pepper, however. Definitely comfort food! Oh, and you know the cinnamon flax muffins never get old.

Even tow trucks can't get through...

- A few bites of meatloaf and egg salad
The gf finally made it home today! She just stayed there because their roads don't get plowed and leaving would (and did) prove to be extremely difficult.
After over an hour of shoveling her own path down the road, she just pushed it off to the side of the road and walked up to a main road, where I came and rescued her. With the windchill at a freezing cold five below zero, she was just ready to get home, take a hot shower and snuggle down with our dogs. They were so happy to have her home, but not as happy as I am!
These are super nice homes, but for some reason, the roads never get plowed. I'm just glad she is safe and sound!
Her car is still on the side of the road. We do have AAA roadside assistance, but the lady told her that the tow trucks wouldn't be able to get down that road. The lady advised her to call the police and to get to someplace safe. Not exactly what you want to hear from Triple A, but she is home, so I am one relieved girl!
Edited to Add: She made it home safe and sound and they finally got her car out, too!

Addicted to Doggy Hugs!
I'm just waiting on the contractor to show up to re-drywall our
ceiling in the dining room. The gf is sleeping with our dogs. Nobody
in our pack sleeps very well when we are not under the same roof.
Went to the chiro last night and I'm feeling loads better.
Yesterday marks the one-year anniversary that I've been off the opiates. Yes, I was prescribed them for my reconstructive knee surgery and they certainly have a time and place, but they are still very physically and emotionally addictive. There is not a high without a low. There is not an up without a down.
I weaned off of them myself then just got rid of them without looking back. I was on them for seventeen months. I usually quit stuff cold turkey, but with these suckers, I weaned. I would recommend that method for anybody going through that sort of a thing.
Now, for most people, pain killers are a non-issue, but somebody who has a history of substance abuse needs to be careful. I used to smoke so much pot that I couldn't even get high anymore. I was doing about an ounce a week of the strong stuff. I ate carbs 'til I passed out, sick, eating myself to a morbidly obese 306 lbs. Alcohol was never really a problem for me, but I could see how it could quickly become one, based on my history.
I have all four wisdom teeth coming out on Friday, February 7th and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little afraid of "needing" the pain meds again. But this is just one bad weekend, one bottle. Nothing like last time when I had my femur sawed in two.
Addiction is a bitch and besides caffeine, I'm essentially habit-free. Well, unless you count hugging on my dogs. That is one addiction I refuse to give up.
Yesterday's Eats:
- Four eggs
- Two bacon-wrapped cheese-filled hot dogs with mayo & mustard
- SF jello

Gallons of mayo, construction & the Big Chill
- Four eggs
- Sugar free jello
- Tilapia parmesan with mayo
- More tilapia with lots of mayo (or was it mayo with tilapia?)
I never really liked mayo 'til I started going full-time low carb. Now, I cannot get enough! I know it's healthier to make your own, but the big ol' gallons from GFS are just really good and around 8 bucks a gallon. Yes, we really go through that much mayo.
Tomorrow morning, we are getting our ceiling ripped out due to some rain damage. Will be glad when it's complete.
We have two severe weather warnings now, one for windchill and one for the snowfall.
The gf is going to be gone for an overnight (pet sitting) visit tonight and I'm totally going to miss her. How do the military wives do it? Seriously? She is going to take one dog and leave me with my gorgeous and somewhat snuggly Daisy dog, so I will be okay. Gave her an aspirin this morning (vet-approved) due to her ouchie joints.
The house is just gonna be lonely without my boo.
