Good evening everyone! I hope you have all had a great Tuesday!
Monday
6:30 quiet time, cozy on the couch with coffee, water, and a blanket
7:00 eggs & toast
10:00 tea with one of my readers! Hi Kayla!
Note, at Coffee Bean I got half passion tea, with half steamed coconut almond milk
I don’t know if I’ve talked about this before, but the past… hmm… 6 months? I’ve been having choking problems sometimes. These problems don’t always happen, but when they do, they scare the living crap out of me. The worst was when I was in Ojai, picking up one of the little ones I watch. I literally could not breathe – I couldn’t use my words, I couldn’t tell anyone what was wrong, I was embaressed, red, and completely scared.. I found a water fountain quickly, and was able to breathe with water, but this was so bad.. At this point, I was sure that my allergy was out door related, I emailed an allergist, and was going to get this figured out..
A couple of days later, I was having tea with a Client, and my throat started to tighten up.. I started to look around Coffee Bean for water, just so I knew where it was if I stopped breathing (that’s how scary and tight this feels). At the same time, I was telling my Client about my tea, how it was passion tea with half steamed…. SOY….
I stopped in my tracks and a lightbulb went off… ANY time this has happened, I have been drinking soy milk….. flashbacks started hitting….
On the way back from Catalina when my throat was feeling scary tight, I had just had a soy latte
While I was walking with one of the little ones I babysit, we were walking back from getting green tea with half steamed soy
While I was driving to Ojai, the day I choked the worse, I was drinking chai tea with half steamed soy
While I was walking downtown with a Client, and my throat only slightly tightened, chai latte with soy…
Okay, as I’m writting this it seems obvious I don’t need to see an allergist, and I’ve discovered the problem… but for a few weeks I am going to stay away from soy and see if the problem goes away… I hope I’ve found it because I’m sooo done with this whole throat tightening thing…
Anyone else allergic to soy, or something else that makes their throat feel tight and scratchy?
12:00 GYM
1:30 leftover chicken adobo with tomatoes and salad
3:30 banana
5:00 4 carrots with hummus… haha, I was trying to somehow picture this super quick snack 
8:00 a late dinner of quinoa pasta with broccoli, pesto, and parmesan cheese
Alrighty! Time for me to be done with work for the day, make some tea, and watch a New Girl… this show is too addicting! My favorite way to end the day
