Sometimes I feel guilty because I don't spend all that money for the same reasons that you mentioned. Feel like a bad mom or something. But I have to remember just because something is good, doesn't mean it's the best for me.<BR/>Thanks for the thoughts,<BR/>Leigh AnnLeigh Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13059918466503894975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432851.post-1152711802304639832006-07-12T08:43:00.000-05:002006-07-12T08:43:00.000-05:00Thanks, friends, for your input and votes of confi...Thanks, friends, for your input and votes of confidence. I should note, Dawn, that I'm not really thinking about decreasing protein in our lives, especially not right now. That's one of those suggestions made by the books that are a little more extreme than we can do right now. We are, however, going to be decreasing animal protein a bit. We eat FAR too much meat -- sometimes for literally every meal in a day.<BR/>As a gestational diabetic, protein is THE nutrient of substenance right now, so, no -- no big protein dips for at least the pregnancy/nursing months. <BR/>I'd love to talk to you more, though.

This may not be the time to decrease your protein by leaps and bounds. I'll be praying that you'll know what is needful for you and your family! ~d :@Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432851.post-1152499050397841202006-07-09T21:37:00.000-05:002006-07-09T21:37:00.000-05:00Hey Deep-in-thought Lady, I'd LOVE to dialogue w/...Hey Deep-in-thought Lady, I'd LOVE to dialogue w/ you re: what you're reading/hearing & being directed by Father to change.
