Styrofoam, Updates and ThredUp

I can't believe all these weeks and it didn't dawn on me until I was listening to a podcast episode #229 from Evan Brand and lab testing for heavy metals, toxins, etc that I have been drinking out of a Styrofoam cup for weeks now!!

This is a good simple article from Dr. Weil - Is Styrofoam Safe?  It pretty much states that if you're drinking a cold beverage from it you are probably okay, a hot beverage NO!  I'm just staying on the safe side and I have abandoned it completely.  I brought in my own coffee mug to drink my tea or just some hot water.  I have to get up more frequently to refill but nothing wrong with that!  UGH, styrene!

It does make me curious if this has had any effect on me recently.  I did start my heavy metal detox this week - so perfect time to make sure I'm not using any plastics or unnatural products!

No this kind of metal!  LOL - I love meme's!I can't believe all these weeks and it didn't dawn on me until I was listening to a podcast episode #229 from Evan Brand and lab testing for heavy metals, toxins, etc that I have been drinking out of a Styrofoam cup for weeks now!!

Saturday night was our 6 year anniversary.  My plan was to stay on plan, BUT I did have a glass of wine.  It was a glass of resiling and I found it sweeter than I once would have.  We went to Cameron's Steakhouse in downtown Birmingham.  It was fabulous!  We both had the bone in cowboy ribeye.  I had a side of the brussel sprouts with bacon (of course) and D had green beans with walnut butter.

Pretty much how it looked!

We had a great evening.  We walked over to The Cupcake Station where D got a Oreo Cookie Cupcake.

Then over to La Strada for a cappuccino for D and an herbal tea for me.

We decided it smelled so good there and everything we saw looked so wonderful we will have dinner there our next night out, which is typically once a week - either Friday or Saturday.  Their coffee is so good, I certainly can't wait till I can have it again.

So, how did I do after the glass of wine?  I got a very minor headache that lasted a short period of time, other then that I have felt fine.  I went to bed before midnight and woke around 6:30 but didn't get out of bed until 7:30.  I dressed to go running and headed to the gym.  I ran 6 miles and raced over to get D his coffee from Dunkin' and home to make my breakfast.  I also got the furry ones a blueberry donut.  We had our open house today so I packed the dogs up and headed to D's parents.

They are not always the best back seat passengers.  A cool thing happened when I stopped at Starbucks on the way.  The person in front of me paid for my tea!   It truly made my day!  So I paid for the person behind me.  Such a nice thing and I should do that more!

Big Dawg had to check things out when D met us there.  The rest of the evening was pretty relaxing.  We came home and watched a movie, ate leftover steak and walked to get ice cream for D.
