Nutrition and Emerg. Prep Details You Didn't Want to Read :-)

(I know, I used this pic before, but it's so refreshing and delicious-looking, isn't it?)
(Plus, I like to post random pictures on my blog, teehee!)

Isn't this a great time of year?  My favorite, by far!  And it's Conference Weekend!  Mark has the ingredients ready for blueberry muffins and hot chocolate, and we get to hear from our leaders!

I already watched the Women's Conference, right on tv, but World Conference is our favorite.

Also, time to rotate food in our emergency packs, if we had any. : /

I've been eating Mark's homemade banana nut bread.  Mmm mmm!  It's so good, and it really fills me up, too.  When it's warm and the edges are crisp, almost candied, it's the best tasting food in the world!  Maybe because it smells so heavenly while it's baking.  :)

We had a visit from the two counselors in our ward, Bro. Mitchell and Bro. Ferrin, just to see how we are doing.  It was fun to have them over for a while.  They said that Bishop Baird is still in the ICU with pneumonia.  Did I tell you that we had another ward fast for him?  We're going to take them some banana bread.  I hope he gets better soon.

We haven't heard yet from the jobs.  Gee, we're supposed to hear from them today on one.  They must be working on it.

I talked to Bonnie recently, and she's really impressed with the ingredients in Reliv and the other products, for her and others that need help.  Linda, my upline person, is sooo helpful with adjusting products to customize them for each person.  She does that, to begin with, by going to what has helped others with the same problems.  That, along with your own preferences and so on, is like a baseline to try, maybe introducing some things a little at a time.  I'm lucky that I only need Reliv Classic, but whatever works, I say!

It's fun to see Bonnie's reactions (hi, Bunny-Foo!), because she has studied nutrition and health for so many years on her own, and she understands good ingredients.

I usually eat raisin bread toast (Pepperridge Farm cinnamon-type!) for breakfast and in the afternoon I might have chicken noodle soup or leftovers or a salad with Good Seasons salad dressing mix.  :)

At night, I might have toast again and apple slices or something like that.  Or half a cheese toastie.  Or a piece of pizza.  I also eat grapes or plain Greek yogurt (yum!) or celery or a piece of dark chocolate or whatever.

So now you know what I eat, in detail! (I know you all love these details, lol)

Anyway, I also drink Reliv twice a day, and it really stops any cravings that I would have otherwise.  I mix it with Silk soy milk, which makes the flavor great.  I love that I can drink it without any Lactaid, 'cause I've always loved milk.

I also take extra calcium and vitamin D, because of osteoporosis that's being treated right now.  I have it from being so inactive for so many years.  I wiggle a lot, for circulation and exercise, but I have hip, arm, and knee issues that interfere with normal exercising.  I feel really good, and don't feel limited, either.  I have time to do what I want to.

We're getting ready to sell some things in order to do more to finish our 72-hour bags and as many other things that we think we need, until we run out of money (or, in other words, back to where we are now).  We want a little cash in our bags, some Reliv, the regular portable foods and water filters/tablets/straws, first aid things, fishing supplies, documents, IDs, and CD files, batteries, flashlights, solar radios, ponchos, hand warmers, tp, zip locs and trash bags, knives, scissors, paper and pencils, little toys, baby formula (and diapers and pins and rubber pants, perhaps) and bottles for any babies with us, portable saw and shovel, scriptures, can openers, whistles, compasses (thanks to Justin for a lot of this!), fire starters, candy, survival manuals, maybe hammers and screwdrivers and nails, nylon cord, sanitary supplies (which make great wound dressings), some seasonings, and I don't know what all.

We'd love to have some other things, but we'll see.  I know Mark has some things in mind.  I'd like to buy TFT, Target Focused Training, a book and DVD by Larkin, that teaches you instant things you can do to protect yourselves from violence.  It's on Glen Beck's site.  That would be cool to know, and you could borrow ours after we learn it.  You don't need to be athletic or anything, and this man has trained the armed forces in these methods.  They're natural and quick to learn, too.  Anyway, it costs $29.99 on Amazon, which is cheaper by $20 over the Beck site.

Tamathy, are you there?  I haven't talked to you for so long!

Anyone else out there, besides Megan and Haley?

I'm doing this for my blog books, anyway, which I want for Christmas, lol.  Those are great, and they make this into my journal, but with pictures.  And I write lots more, too!

Well, take care, everybuddeee! 

I love you!

Isn't he gorgeous?!
