Fritzy 22's Journal, 31 Jan 24

I made tacos this morning. Entered as lunch but ate for breakfast at around 7:30. I started buying crunchy taco shells about a year ago and love them but maybe the small flour tortillas would be better. Although I should be well under my goal of 100 carb grams, the fat total is too much. Some is healthy like pumpkin seeds and Brazil nuts but the rest is from ground beef, cheese and taco shells. Will have half a tuna sandwich for a late lunch.

Waiting for G.I. Junk to come and take away some stuff including the futon I inherited from my dad that the thrift stores wouldn't even take. I have been getting rid of furniture, clothes and just STUFF for over 2 years now. It's amazing how much I've accumulated just since moving into this house. This house has 4 bedrooms and a living room, dining room and family room. Moving to a house, someday, with just 2 bedrooms and a kitchen, eating area and living room that all run together like one big room. Will buy lots of new furniture once I move.

Rain is coming later today and into tomorrow with lots of wind expected overnight. Hopefully I can get a quick walk in before noon.

When will your new house be finished?

Redrose, I'm not sure when the house will be done. Originally I was told around April. But they also told me my street would be put in in November. It is still not in. There was a 2 month delay. No update from the development. I'm hoping for June but really have no idea.

I like both hard shell and soft shell tacos but the hard ones seem more like a traditional taco to me. I get attached to furniture and things. Hard to let go of.

I honestly think I could completely furnish another house with all we have stored in one of the garages. It's got to go, but it's easier said than done. I like street tacos. They are just the right size for me.

The fat from meats, cheese, eggs, avocado, butter, nuts, your pumpkin seeds is good! The taco shells fat is prob from highly processed vegetable or seed oil, not so good! I still eat LC wraps but try to do more of the whole foods

Thanks Morticia, I checked the small street taco size flour tortillas at the grocery store yesterday and a serving of 2 actually had more carbs than the crunchy taco shells. But lower fat. I'm mainly focused on carbs right now but also need to watch saturated fat.

Thanks StormsGirl! I agree with you on avocado, nuts , and pumpkin seeds. O!I've oil too. But I believe what the American Heart Association and my own doctor say about saturated fats. I don't think butter is healthy, but a pat in toast is something I do. I prefer a lower fat diet and really need it after gallbladder issues and finally removal. But I can see why when trying to reduce carbs you end up with much more fat in your diet. Trying to learn to like fish but am using up the ground beef and beef roast in my freezer

Thanks Tink. I gave my kitchen/dining table to my sister because it is too big for the new house. Will get rid of the sofa and chair that I allowed my cats to shred when I threw away all their scratching posts and towers. Will buy new stuff for them to scratch in the new house. Looking for different material for a new sofa that they will be less likely to scratch. Will also get rid of my mattresses and head boards it's time anyway. So all I am taking are boxes of things for kitchen and bathrooms , 3 dressers (2 will go in closets) and some pieces of furniture left to me by my parents. Also lots of paintings and pictures for walls. Really downsizing but like the idea of new stuff
