Wade took some stuff out of the freezer so we have pre-made meals ready to go. I really like my lo-carb or no carb tortillas. I only eat French Bread when Wade makes pizza out of it, otherwise I rarely eat bread (oh, and my fish fillets from McDonalds now and again).

Have a blessed Lord's Day tomorrow. Love you

I do too...I use the low carb ones. I have a pack of spinach wraps and a pack of whole wheat ones in there at the moment. I do love the cheese toast tho and enjoy it when I have it...have been known to use a lonely hot dog bun and making cheese toast with it. I really like McDonald's fish sandwiches. I have some Gorton's mediocre fish filets in my freezer but they are not as good...

I restocked my frozen veggies last week at HEB....They have some that Walmart doesn't carry (store brand) so on the rare occasion I shop there now, I make sure to get my veggies.

I had a really painful night last night...I did rest well tho and stayed down until 5 AM....have cats fed, coffee on and plans for the day. I am happy and blessed. Prayers for you all in this new day God has given us.

PS: I got 3 pretty Pioneer Woman melamine salad bowls in my order yesterday. Someone here, gave away my Corel ones, thinking to just use plates....and I have to this point. I just miss the extra room the bowl provides and there's the thing I have about kitchen stuff. I got two teal and one coral.

Breakfast: a 2 egg microwave omelet in my small Corelle bowl, with bacon crumbles, cheese, mushroom and green onion. It was delicious! Reigning myself in....have been in the ditch too long.

That looks like a very healthy and yummy breakfast! Good for you. Keep up the good work.

Wade makes me a tortilla where he puts down the cheese first and then puts the tortilla on top (you can also had some meat on top of the cheese. Cook the cheese until it is browned then flip it over and fold, then brown the tortilla! Oh man, so yummy. We usually use the three or four cheese Mexican style cheese. Not sure it would work with American Cheese though!

Been hold steady at 239-240. I had some soda this weekend (orange cream Coke), then later I had part of another one due to a headache and I needed a caffeinated drink and didn't want to wait for the coffee maker! Now to be very good all week!

Here's another good FB post from my pastor about medical health and who to listen to:
What were those parents thinking? They gave us jabs to keep us from getting Smallpox, Polio, Measles, Chickenpox, Mumps, Lock Jaw, Diphtheria. Oh, that's right. They were thinking that a jab was better than a lethal disease. They were thinking about the other boys and girls in our society who had died or been crippled by sickness. They were thinking about entire regions being decimated by plagues.

I realize that some medications have been harmful (at least to some people). I realize that we have ailments today that we did not use to have (and may be the result of medical mistakes). I realize that the COVID thing was a catastrophe in so many ways, and the love of money will lead people to do things that are harmful to other people.

I realize that is sometimes a mistake and a danger to blindly follow the experts though they may be trained in medicine. I also realize that some people are so convinced that they know more about health and healing than anyone else and they know more about everyone else's physical condition and health needs than those who are actually dealing with sickness or disabilities.

I don't always know what is the best thing for myself (and sometimes I do). I don't presume to have all of the answers for other people or for the children of other people.

I have yet to meet anyone that I would want to make all of my personal health choices (doctors or self appointed health gurus). Sometimes people suffer with issues that are a total mystery to other people. Some people think they are smart enough or wise enough or educated enough to make health decisions for everyone else.

However, I have noticed that those same people (as well-intentioned as they may be), have made some decisions (or they are making decisions), which are obviously wrong.

We should all be as well informed as possible, about the essential issues of life. And we should consider good counsel, given by responsible people. But we all must make our own decisions about various issues of life. Don't let others shame you or intimidate you into doing something you believe is the wrong choice.

Seek God. Don't fear what other people say or think. It is possible to make honest mistakes, while trying to do that which we believe God wants us to do. We are not all-wise or all-knowing. It is wrong to presume on God, but it is also wrong to be intimidated by popular trends. Remember, faith is not to be confused with presumption, and "one size does not fit all," even when it comes to medicine or diet.
Medicine is not an exact science, either for the well trained or the strong willed, opinionated, lay person. Be as faithful to God's word and sensitive to His leading as you can be. Be humble and open to instruction. But don't let someone else usurp the authority of the Holy Spirit in your life.
