Ok, I shared this link on the OOTD thread, but there is an NSV here too... The boots I'm wearing are not only regular calf width boots, but for the FIRST TIME EVER, I was able to easily zip boots over jeans! AND still have room to spare to put on some nice warm knee high socks when it gets colder!

OOTD for a dinner party we went to tonite...

Ya, I'm a vinaigrette kinda gal (but I do love blue cheese dip! maybe not as salad dressing though) I have increased the sesame oil and olive oil ratio in my recipe but I still make it with stevia or monk fruit for sweetener...

Haha, I have the kettle corn popcorner in my pantry right now The kid loves it. Too many carbs for my liking though, and the comparative percentage of fat and protein is too low. The Flex line is promising, due of the protein content, at least....will see if I can find that locally and report back!

Sometimes I do end up having 6 "meals" a day, but man, its work. Even 4-5 is effort. Unfortunately, not a big fan of protein candy bars (and that Robert Irvine line looks like it has a lot of saturated fats...although who am I kidding? I am a pork-rind-a-holic). I bought a big bag of avocados from Costco today, and also a bag each of of roasted black pepper & red pepper cashews from my fave Indian take-out place this afternoon, so I've got some good high fat/high calorie snacks on hand . I need to make sure I always have more appropriate snacks around so that I don't end up eating the crap around the house. Now, why do I keep crap in the house, you ask? Well, I'm not the only person who lives here, and they like their crap.

After the snack and before the dinner. (had a 4+ hour nap after the dumping)

Yeah, "crap" being the operative word. I started the day off pretty well, but it was downhill from afternoon snacks...not the healthiest choices, and I paid for it. Now the thing is I KNOW I will feel crappy when I eat crap. Yet I still try to put some in me for the sake of calories, cuz its a real effort to get the same amount of calories & fat with healthier food.
