Fritzy 22's Journal, 30 Jun 22

Excellent drop, Fritzy! That would be funny to see you picking peaches next to Buck. By the way, you had a question on 66pack's journal about the difference between simple and complex carbs. Complex carbs are the fruits, veggies and whole grains like oatmeal. They're the heroes of health. Simple carbs are the bad carbs/sugars found in the processed foods like crackers, chips, donuts, etc. that digest quickly and that which we equate with addictive carbs. 

Thanks Bananas. I googled complex and simple carbs. Simple carbs are sugar. Complex carbs are just what I said.  

I just went outside to pick some peaches. They are beautiful but not really ripe enough to eat. There were about 50 peach pits outside the deer fencing around the tree. While I was out there Buck wandered over to see what I was doing with "his" peaches. I told him he was going to get a tummy ache but I threw 4 or 5 peaches to him. 

No -- you wrote: "I don't think fruit or most vegetables have complex carbs. They have simple carbs (sugar)." That's incorrect/backwards. Fruits & veggies are Complex. They aren't classified as Simple, like cookies are. The point is, 66Pack stated he wanted to add Complex carbs to his diet, which means he's thinking of adding fruits/veggies/legumes, not processed bread. You are feeding Buck Complex Carbs when you share your peaches. Feed him Smuckers peach jam and now you're giving him Simple carbs. 

congratulations on your weight loss  

Oh fritzy! So happy for you! Way to go! And I'm glad the fire is shifting and you are enjoying your critters! I can't imagine having a peach tree in my yard! Run and get some for me!  

So happy for you.. Goals met are great motivation. Such a loving giving heart, you can't resist sharing, even with Mr Buck.  

Good job! I used to have a peach tree and lived picking them straight from tree and eating them! So sweet!! Glad fire threat is lowered! I was worried for you!💜 

Bananas - I really, really, REALLY don't care! I don't agree with you, you disagree with me. I am not one of THOSE people who has to prove to everyone they are right. Thanks Buenita! The low fat diet really seems to be working. Thans Melissa - I love the peach tree and it is so full of peaches right now 100's of them Thanks SLYONE - I'm hoping I can get down the last .4 pounds and then continue on. I just worry Buck will be laying under my deck later (one of his favorite spots) groaning in pain from cramping caused by too much fruit! Thanks Diana. I have been letting the peaches I've picked ripen a little on the kitchen island counter where the sun from the skylights hit it. They are so good. The fire threat is constant where I live and 5 miles away is too close. Last year the Caldor fire that went into South Lake Tahoe travelled over 100 miles from where it started. 

Great work! 

glad to hear the fire is moving away from you.  

Thanks Patti! Thanks Kat - it does make life easier. I didn't sleep at all the first night but I slept good last night 

Good work on reaching your goal! And great news that the fire isn't getting closer. Hope they're able to get it under control. Those low containment numbers can be very concerning. Hope you're able to continue to havr restful nights. 💕 

excellent 

We’ll done! ✅ 😀 

Let's go!  

I agree with you. Simple carbs are found in foods like fruit veg and some dairy products. You can't rely separate simple and complex carbs in whole foods. It's the refined carbs that are more easily eliminated from our diets. stay safe from the fire hazards. 

should be really not rely. 

Stay safe! Great work!
