Down Another Pound with Calorie Counting - 7# to Goal

 Been so busy with flowers and outdoor projects, that I haven't been here for a few days.  Chilly here in the Midwest today, so no outdoor work.  Inside projects are best for today.

Down another # this morning with calorie counting so I am a happy camper.  7# from my goal.    Here is today's menu:

omelet with egg whites, spinach, onion

salad with meat, cheese, pepperoni

frozen entree with veggies

yogurt and protein powder for dessert 

• 1 Thessalonians 2:11-12 “For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.”

Down 2# Today with my Calorie Counting Menu

 Scale was kind to me this morning - down 2#.  I am pretty much eating the same thing as I did yesterday. I know this might fluctuate a # or 2, but is my all time low for a long time, so am a happy camper.  I have 8# to go to get to my second and last goal.

Today's calorie counting menu:

Pancake and Syrup Protein shake powder in coffee - pretty yummy

Large salad with meat, cheese, avocado, pepperoni with homemade dressing

Blueberry shake made with blueberries and my new blueberry protein shake mix - I haven't tried this yet; but I think it will be good.  I will be using almond milk as I am trying to cut my down on fat right now.

Joshua 1:9 Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Deuteronomy 31:6,8 Be strong and bold; have no fear or dread of them, because it is the Lord your God who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you.

Romans 8:38-39. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Down 2# Today - Hit my First Goal - All Time Low - with Today's Calorie Counting Menu

 Nice morning here in the Midwest.  Temps are a little cooler today.  We went from 50's to 90"s in a matter of a few days.  Too much for this early in the year, but flowers and everything is really growing now.  I have been planting flowers in pots for my deck and porch.  Also planted a few veggies in raised beds.  (too old to plant a big garden anymore) I will try to post pictures soon.

So happy that I am at my first goal - down 2# this morning.  Haven't been at this weight for 4 years.  I am so happy with calorie counting.  I would like to maybe get down another 10#; but if I don't, that is okay.  I am just going to take it slowly and if it happens, that is fine.  If not, I am pleased at where I am. 

Today's Calorie Counting Menu:

Egg white omelet with spinach, onions with a dash of hot sauce

Large salad with beef, cheese, pepperoni

Protein shake, if hungry

Been trying to get my blood sugar down a little so will try to eat a little less of processed foods.

I'm Back with Calorie Counting Menus

 Been so busy with the yard and flowers, that I just haven't made time for my blogging.  However, I have been still calorie counting pretty much.  Sometimes, just quick to fix things.  Weight has stayed the same and   I am so glad that I haven't gained.   

Today's Menu:

Veggie muffin

Chinese chicken and rice frozen dinner - hungry for Chinese but didn't want to take time to cook it. Also, sometimes just like the fact that it is portioned out for me and I don't have to prepare it.

asparagus

shake with strawberries

I am going to try to get back here every day with my menus now.  Hope all have a very blessed day.

James 1:17 KJV

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
