High Carb Low Carb

I’m supposed to cut down on high carb foods. These include bread, tortillas, bagels, bananas, raisins, pears, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets, pasta, cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, juice, soda, lentils, peas, black beans, pinto beans, chickpeas, kidney beans, honey, sugar, chips, crackers, milk, and gluten free baked goods.

 

Low carb foods on the good list: eggs, beef, lamb, chicken, pork, bacon, jerky, turkey, bison, broccoli, tomatoes, onions, brussell sprouts, cauliflower, kale, cucumber, bell peppers, asparagus, green beans, celery, spinach, zucchini, cabbage, strawberries, grapefruit, oranges, raspberries, almonds, peanuts, cashew, coconut, pistachios, flaxseed, sunflower seeds, cheese, Greek yogurt, butter, tea, dark chocolate.  

I just looked these lists, so don’t hate on me for eating bad stuff these past few days before I made up this list. Plus it’s my birthday month so I’m trying to cash in on all my free birthday meals at Ruby Tuesday, Moes, CiCi’s, Red Robin, Fuddruckers, Baskin Robbins, etc.

 

Just read that right after Bama beat UGA in the national championship game in early January 2018 UGA QB Jacob Eason went over to QB Jake Fromm in the locker room told him he was transferring to Washington. The two QBs then knelt down together and prayed, asking God to look out for Eason in his new home. This week Fromm has been profiled in Sports Illustrated and ESPN.com, and been pictured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. The ESPN article has quotes from Fromm’s pastor in Warner Robbins.

Clemson sophomore QB Trevor Lawrence was also featured on a regional cover of SI. Sunday afternoon Clemson had a fan day where fans could get autographs. The line for Lawrence was well over a hour long – and that was an hour before the gates opened.  

The heat has been bad. 78 degrees at 6 am this morning. BRUTAL. 100 degrees on the way home today. Too hot to spell out the numbers.

 

Ceil used to like OK Café but I think she doesn’t any more. I was never a big fan.

 

Today’s Denison column about fewer people connecting through church or other groups.  Some share their lives on social media – some more than others. Not the same as actually gathering together. Many are more bold and derisive when shielded behind the safety of a computer screen.

 

Monday afternoon focus group. Interesting discussion. The two hours went by fast. Six of us arrived in time for the early bird drawing, then two guys arrived later. Six of us were chosen for the meeting. An early lady and one of the late guys were sent home. The other late guy added little to the discussion, but of course he won the early bird drawing. A guy that had arrived extra early wasn’t happy. The late guy probably needed the $50 early bird prize the most.

 

On the way home I stopped by two stores and Baskin Robbins. Bought a nice shovel for five bucks. Our old shovel had broke. It had been my grandfather’s. Picked up a Moes burrito to eat for lunch today. Anna had gone home from Athens – she may have a temp job lined up in Athens that would be good experience. Ceil cooked chicken stir fry, Both M and A ate dinner with us.

 

For breakfast this morning I ate the Moes chips and salsa. Might eat at Ruby Tuesday on the way home tonight. Guess I’d better get the salad bar.

 

Luke never said he was a closer, though he compares favorably to the elite closers of 2018...
