I DON'T USUALLY WAKE TO A GRUMBLY STOMACH, but I did on the day that labs are to be done. I woke up after being asleep and thought maybe it would be about 5 in the morning, but to my wondering eyes when I looked at the clock, it was 12:56. I blinked and decided to put a load of dirty towels in the washing machine to wash and to rearrange the inside of the fridge. A chilly experience. grins.
Seeing the citrus fruit together in a crisper drawer in the fridge made me perk up. It looks so PRETTAY. There's something about me that wants a nicely arranged fridge. ha. I don't get it. Naturally I am a natural born SLOB. As a married lady, I have wanted my fridge to be clean and orderly. I've been married 50 years and this hasn't let up. Which is a good thing as I honestly cannot say I am that passionate about the other areas in my LIFE. Pat myself on the back and be pleased.
While up early, early...I'll check facebook, read about the passing of John MacArthur on my birthday, see what's going on in the world, place the new Blue Willow dishes in the china cabinet, etc.
I read about John MacArthur having issues for a few years. He had surgeries and I do wonder if he had ate differently and took supplements like CO Q-10 if he would have recovered still be amongst us? Perhaps he did. Who's to say. He's at peace now.
I am getting firmer and firmer about believing that the quality of the food we eat makes a huge difference toward having better health without taking synthetic meds. Truly. To help me with getting there, I have to return to taking APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, CEYLON CINNAMON and CO Q-10 before lunch to help with digestion and processing glucose since my pancreas and liver are overworked where they do not function efficiently. I also am doing without highly processed foods and rarely have breads made of hybridized WHEAT, seed oils and added chemicals. NO SODA OR COFFEE. Drinking spring water. Portion control. Back to it.

My stomach NEVER feels empty when I wake up until the day I AM TO FAST for labs??? duh. baahumbug. I have to suffer through until after labs at 8 and a medicare physical at 8:20 THEN I can eat and will get a ICED GREEN TEA and possibly some breakfast. I'll make it, but this is uncomfortable. This is one of those times that I wish I could chow down on SUMTHUN to ease the completely empty pit. I ate the last morsel of food around 8 last night so it surprises me that my stomach feels so empty.
I weigh in this morning! and can record my weight as I journey onward with this health walk. PAUSE. I'll see what I actually weigh in a few hours. I best go get groomed and dressed for the day. It's 3:44 in the morning as I type this. I figure that if my labs aren't so great that I will accept it and forge ahead doing things healthier with MINDFUL EATING. Deliberately taking charge of being a HEALTH NUT.
I've got a plan on making SIMPLE MEALS to see if weight reduction will take place. Oh Lord, I hope so.
Breakfast will more than likely be a 4 eggs with cottage cheese blended in, avocado on the side and blueberries. Maybe 2 strips of bacon.
Lunch and Supper both will be a at least 4 oz. of grass fed beef, turkey, bison, lamb, hormone-free chicken or legumes plus a half plate of grilled veggies and a small side salad of greens like lettuce or arugula and cherry tomatoes. Always WATER.
Each day the meats will vary and so will the grilled veggies. Sounds like a plan and I pray it works. Walking will continue.
