Day Nineteen

So I went to work really early this morning (6am - early for me, I usually start at 9am), because I had to leave early for an appointment. I had some gall bladder pain this morning; I'm thinking the red meat yesterday maybe the culprit -- maybe. I had some honeydew melon for breakfast, and I had taken the leftovers from yesterday with the yam noodles to eat for lunch before I left. However, even though it tasted really good, I haven't really felt right since I ate it and every time I think about eating the leftovers, it just didn't sit well and I really didn't want it. So I decided to honor what my body is telling me and not eat it, even though I don't really understand why.

However, I had an afternoon appointment and I knew I was going to be there for a long time, and the melon just wasn't going to hold me. So I went through In-n-Out drive thru. I got just a burger patty wrapped in lettuce with no toppings (just burger and lettuce), and some fries. I figured at least they make their burgers from real hamburger and their fries from real potatoes. I have a little itching in my hands and arms this evening, but nothing bad or unbearable.

This evening, I put a package of frozen kale in the pressure cooker, cut up a rutabaga and added some baby carrots. Then I put in a couple of frozen chicken breasts on top and sprinkled Celtic grey salt, garlic powder, and some coconut aminos. Finally I added just a bit of uncured bacon to round out the flavors. It was really good.
