So, like, I *totally* want to be healthy, you know?

(No, I haven't had my coffee yet. But that's only because it isn't done brewing.)

So, okay. Now that I'm out of the house I:

Am eating a lot of fruits and veggies.

Am eating mostly lean seafood with the occasional lowfat hamburger or keilbasa sausage dish thrown in for variety.

Have not had one. Single. Wine cooler. Since I've moved out, and haven't wanted one (or any sort of alcohol) at all.

Am drinking mostly ice water, with the occasional Lime Diet Coke, as well as coffee and one 8oz cup of V8 juice and one 8oz of OJ with vitamin D and calcium with breakfast each morning.

...and I'm actually thinking of cutting out the coffee, too.

Hmn...should I?

Heh. I'm not looking forward to the two-day headache I'll get during de-tox.

What qualifies as 'good' loose teas? Also--the chocolate thing? My other addiction. I have a feeling that would be like substiting a demon for a devil, if you get my meaning. *g*

Yeah, I am. No budget was ever set aside for dental or medical where I used to live, and as a result, I'm already losing my molars on the left side. I'm not looking forward to my first visit in over a decade, because I already know there's going to be several thousands of dollars of work to be done, even if they just pull teeth and set me up with a bridge on that side.

Coffee has a high acidic content from what I recall. So you know that's not helping.

But if I'm guessing right, that's already on it's way. Or maybe not.

Oh! Um, I think like a green or black tea. As for the acid in coffee, try skipping the sugar or using brown sugar instead. I've been told by my hair expert, Louise Marie (http://hairgasm.com) that there's an interaction with coffee and white sugar that makes an acid.

Oy, as for your dental work, get it checked out and look forward to averting trouble. :) I did not know you were losing your molars though. Ouch.

Yeah, if your teeth are compromised, might as well stop now.

*hugs*

Oh, hey, um, what's your new addy?

Possible for a different reason, but yeah.

Is that what it is? I use flavored creamers, but very rarely use out-and-out sugar. Maybe it has the same effect...

Yeah, this month was 'messing with the budget so you can finish buying the necessary furniture'. Next month is 'budget for the doctors' month. The visits will be cheap thanks to insurance, but I suspect more than one doc is going to want to stick me on drugs or something (or do at least SOME dental work), so I need at least a little set aside for that possibilty/probability. I'm pretty damned healthy all things considered, but that doesn't mean I've escaped unscathed.

I'll put up a flist-locked post in a few minutes for you and everyone. ^^
