Today I am linking up with Rebecca Jo, over at Knit By God's Hand, for Thankful Thursday!
There is always so much to be thankful and grateful for! Today, I am on a clear liquid diet to prepare for my procedure tomorrow morning.
It seems like a fitting time to get serious about losing weight (again) so I am also mentally preparing for another stab at a low-carb/high protein diet. I know it works and it really isn't that hard to stay on. I get to keep dairy in my life and I love eggs and green veggies. Meats are also allowed. I don't miss sugar/sweets. My downfall is potatoes, rice and pasta. Sigh. I AM happy and thankful that I saw a bag of frozen riced cauliflower at Sam's Club! With that in the freezer and ready access to spaghetti squash, meals will still be satisfying. I can pretend I'm eating carbs!! LOL
I took the whole day off today and I am thankful to have sick leave saved up that allows me extra time when needed. Sleeping in on a Thursday was really nice.
I am so thankful for Joe! He got up before me this morning and took my car to the car wash. It was so dirty from the pollen and still had leaves in it, tracked in from the old house. I am so thankful we left those live oak trees behind!! We only have palm trees at our new house!! No more leaves!
We have been invited to dinner with friends on Saturday evening. It's been several months since we saw Mike & Mary Ellen so it will be fun catching up with them. They are cooking a late St. Patty's Day meal with corned beef. I know it will be good! Thankful for re-connecting with good friends!
Wishing you a thankful Thursday! Peace & hugs!!
Keeping you in prayer, Terri...and I might just add, I think you know this, but you can have red potatoes...just 3 ounces when on a diet. 3 ounces might not seem a lot, but it is. (or you can have sweet potatoes)---anyways...where was I...keeping you in prayer, friend.
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you!
ReplyDeleteHope your procedure is smooth tomorrow
ReplyDeleteGood to know Sam's Club has riced cauliflower. I've been wanting to get some!!!!
So glad you're life is getting back to somewhat a normal state. Good luck on the healthier eating. Maybe we should all join some kind of "club" together to get healthy. Prayers for your procedure tomorrow....I know today has been rough. :(
ReplyDeleteBest wishes on your procedure. I can taste that foul smelling cleanse just thinking about it.lol
ReplyDeletePraying your procedure goes smoothly tomorrow. Hugs
ReplyDeleteGlad you have the time off you need and I'm praying everything goes well tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI shared the link to a recipe on my blog today (I'm in the process of making it now) that would work for your diet. It sounds yummy!
Praying that the prep has been ok and that all goes well tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to look for that riced cauliflower. Last year at some event or another, we were served mashed cauliflower w/ garlic overtones .... soooo yummy! I Googled recipes and tried to replicate a slow-cooker full myself. Epic FAIL!
ReplyDeleteI will be thinking of you tomorrow!
Hope all goes well with the procedure your having done!!
