I have had Ry guy since Sunday and he has been at his most needy. ???? I quess it is just a phase but he likes to keep me in seeing distance. Perhaps he heard dd and I talking about him going back to school and some children do not handle change well. Maybe he knows that he will not be coming here as much. He has recently been asking a lot of questions about death and maybe that is it. But anyway I am being patient with his clinging and with his questions. He keeps saying he does not want me to die. I am sure that death is scary to him, but I keep telling him about heaven and it's beauty and how we will all live togeather. And I reassure him that I am healthy and I do not think that I will die anytime soon.
While baby plays in the pool I have been working in the yard. I have gotten a lot done-weeding my garden, which is close to pool=and cleaning up the car port also close to the pool. It has been so hot here that one day I just jumped in the pool with him with all my clothes on.
I am thankful everyday for our AC and I have such compassion for those that do not have it. I don't think that it got this hot when I was a child, or maybe living with ac has spoiled us??????
I love not craving foods when I am on low carb but I want my veggies so I decided this morning to just count calories for a while. I know that I am so wishy washy but I have cucumbers and blueberries and squash and corn that is so yummy, and someone gave us a little over a bushel of fresh red skinned potaoes and they are screaming at me to eat them lol. tomatoes are coming off by the basket fulls. My okra is producing like crazy and my neighbor said they have all they want in their garden and so I can have whatever is left. Cheap food, nutritious and so I am going to walk this way for a while.
I am going to start working one day a week for a cleaning company. We will be working cleaning condos at the beach, or at least I am goiing to try it. Who knows maybe cleaning someone elses house is different from cleaning my own house.____________________________________

FINALLY, BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE STRENGTH OF HIS POWER.
EPHESIANS 6:10
I DON'T WANT TO BE WEAK, FICKLE AND UNCERTAIN, GOD. I WANT TO BE A PERSON WHO IS SOLID, KNOWS WHAT IS TRUE AND OPERATES WITH A SENSE OF CONFIDENCE IN YOU. WHERE I AM WEAK, LORD, PLEASE BE MY STRENGTH. WHERE I AM INSECURE, TEACH ME TO BELIEVE IN YOUR ABILITY TO LEAD ME. WHERE I AM UNSTEADY, PLEASE BRING YOUR STABILITY TO ME. LET MY LIFE BE A TESTIMONY TO YOUR POWER.

So glad to hear from you! I was wondering where you were. :)
ReplyDeleteRe: lo-carb. There is absolutely NO reason why you can't have veggies and some fruit on low carb. NONE. Really.
The days of eating only protein and fat are over when talking about low carb diets.
I don't know how many grams of carbs you are eating, but anything below 80 grams a day is low carb. I'm eating only 40 gr a day--and still have room for veggies, just not bread and potaotes and crackers--you have to pick which carbs you're spending you grams on.
My gram count is so low, because that's the amount that allows me to keep my insulin at minimal dosages.
Eveyone's "craving" point is different. I'm thinking that I could eat about 60 grams a day, before I triggered cravings, but I don't know that since my primary goal is reducing insulin need, so I haven't tested it out.
Test it out for youself. I'd advise you to count cals and carbs. :) That way you could see how many carbs you're eating so that if the cravings kick in, you'll know what number you hit to kick them up and will know what your carb limit is.
But, definitely eat veggies!
Re: grandson. Perhaps the illness of your bil has gotten him thinking? Could he have overheard conversatins?
