Today's Calorie Counting Menu

Down another pound this morning - making me just 1# from my first goal.  I may go another 10 - not sure yet.  

Gloomy day here in the Midwest, so a good day for cooking.  So ready for warm weather.  Grass is green, but we had a freeze last night.  Sure hope our flowering trees don't get frozen.

Today's Calorie Counting

 Nice morning with sunshine here in the Midwest.  Got down in the 20's last night, but expecting 70's tomorrow.  Crazy April.

I have got a little carried away with my calorie counting the past few days with some bad choices and was up 2#.  Back on track yesterday and today.  Really going to cut down on high sodium foods and starches.  Blood sugar was 91 today, so am happy with that.  Those 2# will come off with less sodium and starches. 

Today's menu:

egg whites

cottage cheese with salad with walnuts

This is about as far as I have got planning today.  Don't know about this evening.  May just have a protein shake.

Today's Calorie Counting Menu

 So windy and cold here in the Midwest, but the weatherman promises warmer weather soon.  Got out and raked Monday, but can't do that today.  Been so  busy that I haven't gotten my menu posted for a few days.  I am still calorie counting but weight is staying the same right now.  Had good losses last week, so just probably stabilizing this week.

Today's menu:

Egg whites with whole wheat toast

Large salad

chicken pattie

cottage cheese

6 saltines

blueberries

yogurt

Today's Calorie Counting Menu

 Sunshine here in the Midwest.  Hope it continues all weekend, but don't think it is supposed to.

I was up a # today, but that is to be expected sometimes since yesterday was my all time low on the scale.  Also had some yummy cheese yesterday and that always makes me retain water.  But, it was so good and worth it.  :)

Today's menu:

Homemade knockoff muffin

Chicken and noodle entree on a bed of lettuce

Steak and veggies

Just as I Am


Just as I am, without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee
O Lamb of God, I come! I come
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt
Fighting and fears within without
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
Just as I am, and waiting not
to rid my soul of one dark blot
to thee whose blood can cleanse each spot
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind
Sight, riches, healing of the mind
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve
Because Thy promise I believe
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
Because Thy promise I believe
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
