Today's Calorie Counting Menu

 Looks like it is going to be a nice day here in the Midwest.  Plan on going out and mowing leaves and cleaning my porch. Hope all have a great day.

Today's Calorie Counting Menu:

cheerios

almond milk

Fish

low carb tortilla (used around my fish patty for sandwich instead of bread)

ff cheese slice melted on my sandwich

grilled shrimp

veggies

1/2 c cottage cheese

3/4 c low fat yogurt

This may not sound like much food to some, but I am short and "old" so I just don't need as many calories. This menu really fills me up and if I do get hungry before bedtime, (I usually don't) I will have a cheese stick.  I like to stay under 1000 calories and not go over that most days.  If I am having a hungry day, I will eat up to 1200. Since I have to watch blood sugar and cholesterol, I have to be careful with what I eat and how much.

Bible Verse for Today:

I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — this is your spiritual act of worship.

—Romans 12:1

Today's Calorie Counting Menu

 Here is today's calorie counting menu:

banana

stuffed mushrooms 

WW entre 

salad

Low fat Yogurt with 1 T sugar free preserves for flavor 

cottage cheese

6 saltines

sf jello

Since I need to watch my cholesterol and sugar, I stuffed the mushrooms with cashew cream with spices.  I had never tried this before; but, actually, it was pretty good.  

Bible Verse for Today:

All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever.

—1 Peter 1:24-25

Back to Calorie Counting with Menu

Been away taking care of a lot of things I needed to do before winter. 

Will try to be here every day with my calorie counting menu;  As I have said before, my eating is not perfect and I just eat what I want (within reason) - just in my calorie range.

Weight hasn't changed too much - down another 3# so am pretty close to my goal.  If I get there, that is okay and if I don't that is okay, too, because I am 6 - 8 # from it.  If I am eating good and eating fairly healthy, then that is my goal. 

As I have to watch my cholesterol and also blood sugar, I try to do good most of the time.

Today's menu:

Protein pancake with sf syrup

cucumbers and zucchini 

low carb tortilla with no fat cheese

chicken pattie

protein powder ice cream with strawberries

Bible Verse for Today:

Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

—Ephesians 5:19-20

Back from Lots of Yard Work Getting Ready for Winter

 Have been so busy with yard work trying to get everything done before the cold hits.  Pretty chilly a week or two ago here in the Midwest, but has been in the upper 70's for a few days.  That gave me a good opportunity to take care of those outdoor chores.

Today is a good day to be inside with all of the cold and wind today.

Today's Bible verse

The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

—1 Corinthians 2:14

My Calorie Counting

 I have been away for a while.  My sister came to visit and was able to stay for 10 days.  We had a fun time, but I got a little behind on my work.  She watches what she eats, so I had fun cooking us up some different things.  Made cola chicken, orange chicken, bean brownies and many other things.  She and I ate a large whole watermelon, but it was good.  She loves watermelon, but I never buy it for just myself being it is pretty high in sugar.

All of this was not too good on my blood sugar, so I am back on track.  Weight has pretty much stayed the same.

Yesterday's menu:

cottage cheese

egg 

cheese

large salad with turkey

yogurt

Tried to watch my carbs so I could get my blood sugar stabilized again.

Today is going to be pretty low carb, too.  Already had egg, cottage cheese but may have chicken or tuna and more yogurt.

Today's Bible Verse:

 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

—1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

We are God's temple! God lives in us. What we do in our bodies is part of our worship to him. We are called to not only abstain from impurity, but we are called to glorify God in our bodies and honor the sacrifice by which our holiness was bought.

My Prayer...

Father, I confess to you that I sometimes lose sight of how precious my body is to you. With aging and the other challenges that daily remind me that my body is a vessel of decay, I find it hard to believe that I can glorify you with it. Please, through your indwelling Spirit, quicken in me a deeper reverence and appreciation of your presence in me. In the name of Jesus, my atoning sacrifice, I pray. Amen.

Today's Calorie Counting Menu:

 Been really busy today with yard work and cooking.  Made more bean burgers.  I used a different recipe this time that had brown rice in it.  The last time I made those, I used oats.  I cooked these in the air fryer so they got really nice and crisp.  When I get ready to serve them, I will just put in the air fryer to warm them and that way, they won't get mushy.

Today's menu:

Didn't take time for breakfast today since I wanted to get my yard work done before it got so hot.

salmon with veggies 

5 saltines

1/2 cup bean salad

1 T powdered peanut butter, 1 T chia, 1T flax mixed in 1 cup yogurt, topped with a 70 calorie Fiber One bar.

1/2 c. low fat cottage cheese

2 sl turkey

1 slice cheese

blueberries

Today's Bible verse:

I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.

—Psalm 119:14

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Our treasure and our truth come from Scripture. Scripture is God's guidance for us on how to avoid Satan's harmful traps and to live God's blessed life. Rather than seeing God's Word as limiting, we need to see it as a gift of love and to value it more highly than riches.

My Prayer...

Holy God, thank you for your written Word, your people's Scripture. May your truth come alive in my life just as it does in my heart and mind. In the name of your Son Jesus I pray. Amen.

Today's Calorie Counting Menu

 Today's menu:

2 eggs

Mediterranean chicken patty

2 slices protein bread

1 slice red. fat cheese

green beans

protein  shake made with almond milk

Today's Bible Verse:

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

—Psalm 46:1

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Where can we go when all the walls fall and all the armies crumble and all hope is lost? To the eternal God, who is our Father. He preserved Israel through the most difficult of times, protected the Bible from those who would eradicate it, and has led his Church through troubles and triumphs through the centuries. He will do the same with us until he brings us home to himself.

My Prayer...

My Rock, My Hope and My Protector, I thank you for preserving my life. I thank you for hearing my cries for help and healing. I thank you for guiding my feet into ways that have been a blessing. Please, O God, stay close by as I face the stresses and challenges in my life. Through your Spirit, enable me to grow and be an example to others as I pass through life's storm. In the name of Jesus, my Savior and Lord, I ask it. Amen.

Today's Calorie Counting Menu and Daily Bible Verse

 Been so busy I haven't gotten my menu posted for a while.  Here is today's.

cottage cheese

salad

salmon

homemade protein powder ice cream

blueberries

Bible verse of the day: 

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

—Luke 12:6-7

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

In a universe so vast, what is our little planet? In a planet so diverse and so full of life, what are simple everyday people? Among all the billions of people alive and who have lived before us, what significance do I have? Jesus reminds us that our significance is great — not because we are so important, but because we are known personally by God. We don't have to be afraid; we are known and loved by the One who is and was and is to come!

My Prayer...

Eternal God, Almighty Father, Tender Shepherd, you already know my heart. You know where I struggle with sin; please empower and forgive me. You know my fears; please encourage and strengthen me. You know my immaturity; please nurture and mature me. You know my weakness and disease, please comfort and heal me. Holy God, I am both awed and comforted that you know me and love me. Thank you! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Yesterday's Calorie Counting Menu and the Pineapple Ice Cream I Made

 Cottage cheese

1/4 cup shredded cheese

chicken pattie

l red fat cheese slice

chili

carrots

homemade pineapple ice cream with 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks, 1/2 cup almond milk, pineapple skinny syrup, 1 T sf cheesecake pudding, vanilla and zanthum gum for thickening - ice.  Blended all and beat a little while in my Ninji 

Bible Verse:

I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands.

—Psalm 119:60

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Obedience is faith put into practice. Without action, James 2 reminds us that our faith is not real. So without arguing, let's quickly obey, even when we don't fully understand why because we've seen God's love demonstrated to us in Jesus, and we've seen the protection that his will has for us when we obey him.

My Prayer...

O God, give me a heart that is quick to obey and a faith that is quick to express itself in action. I want to please you with my words and thoughts, but even more Father, I want to live a life full of your character, wisdom, and grace. Help me to quickly obey your voice. In the name of Christ Jesus I pray. Amen.

—Psalm 119:60
