Christmas is gone

Posted by 2DI4 at 10:48 AM

The decorations just need to be boxed up nicely and stored in my closet. I took the tree down I just have the rest of my stuff on my living-room floor. At 10 I'm going to eat a low-carb tortilla with egg and cheese AFTER testing my blood-sugar and seeing how it's doing 2 hours after my yogurt/spinach/carrot meal. I have 2 more pills left and an appointment at 2:45 for Monday. Ir's $35 for a new supply of pills and I would like to try not taking it for a month with his permission. My flex-spending account is reset so I'm not worried about that. I want to bring the levels down by juicing twice a week and eating primarily veggies.

Once it's down the first thing I'm adding in again is chocolate. ALSO Pizza. Funny I'm not even thinking about sushi. I AM thinking about ice-cream however BUT I want pizza most. WEIRD. I'm not even a big pizza eater. The knowledge that I can't eat it right now kills me but then I don't even like it that much when I could eat it. Ground beef, spaghetti sauce and zucchini lasts me forever and is so filling. I think I'll make chicken spaghetti sauce since I have fresh chicken now. I need to cook my cauliflower too. I try my chicken spaghetti sauce over that tonight for dinner. I'm out of spinach and broccoli.

I am going to compile my shopping list so i can be prepared for Monday. I think it'll take me another month to lower my blood sugar and 2 to lose weight. Maybe longer but I am doing everything in my power to get to that point now.

Fast Sunday without fasting.

2 Nephi 21

2 And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;
 3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears.
Bind Up Their Wounds - Henry B. Eyring
"We can't change the tragedy of their lives yet, but they can feel that the Lord loves them."
As a quorum member, as a home teacher, and as a missionary, you cannot help people repair spiritual damage unless your own faith is vibrant. That means more than reading the scriptures regularly and praying over them. The prayer in the moment and quick glances in the scriptures are not preparation enough. The reassurance of what you will need comes with this counsel from the 84th section of the Doctrine and Covenants: "Neither take ye thought beforehand what you should say; but treasure up in your minds continually the words of life, and it shall be given you in the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man."
Hmmm. 196 that happened yesterday after my chocolate. Perhaps my diagnosis was too hasty. Time for my low-carb tortillas, egg and cheese. I need SEVERAL days of monitoring and modifying. YEA for chocolate!!!
