Today's Menu for My Own Low Carb WW 123 Success Program and my Skinny Syrup Order

 I have pretty much been following the Old WW 123 success program, but trying to stay pretty much low carb.  Seems to be working, since I was down 2 # this morning which was my lowest for a while.  I have approximately 7 or 8# to get to  my goal, but no big deal if I don't get there soon.  

I ordered some Skinny Syrups and they came today.  I am so excited to have gotten such a good deal on them.  They were having a big sale plus free shipping over $49.  I tried one a while ago - the Glazed Donut one.  Made a dessert with cream cheese and zero carb tortillas.  Pretty yummy.  I ordered some more of the Maple Bacon Donut which is my new favorite.  According to some reviews, some did not like this, but I do.  Very good on meat and a lot of things.  I think it is just a temp flavor so really stocked up on this one.  

Also ordered Iced Cinnamon Roll, Caramel Creme Cheesecake, Pineapple Upside Down Cake which I haven't tried yet.  May try the Caramel Creme Cheesecake in my protein shake this evening.  Sounds yummy.  

Today's menu:

Pork (dipped in Maple Bacon Donut syrup)

salad with olives, pickles, homemade mayo

2 cheese and egg chaffles with onion, pickles, peppers in my Dash

zero carb tortillas with cream cheese and Glazed Donut Skinny Syrup in the air fryer

Premier Shake coffee drink

Today's Old WW 123 Success Program Menu

Still doing WW 123 with a little twist.  I am adding more protein and a little more healthy fat.  I will be adding more protein, too, and trying to drink a lot more water.  For a few days, I am going to limit my net carbs to around 20.  Hopefully, this will get my blood sugar stabilized as I have not been watching that as I should be since I don't take any meds.  It was 96 this evening after my food today, so think it will work for me.   Made my own mayo today and it tastes so good on meat and  salad, but limited the amount I eat.  

Today's menu

Large salad with spinach, roast beef, cheese, mushrooms, bacon, olives, boiled egg with homemade mayo dressing 

Chaffle made with cheese & egg

Premier shake in coffee

Old Weight Watchers 123 Success Program Restart and Picture of Fall Display in my Yard

 I have been so busy getting all of my outside work done and ready  for winter here in the Midwest.  Got a fall display in my front yard done with pumpkins and mums with an old tank and galvanized tub.  Always enjoy the fall here but winter not so much anymore.  

I have lived here all of my life, so should know better by now.  Guess I will stay the rest of my life.

Old WW 123 Success Plan Menu for Today and Pictures and Today's Bible Verse

 It has been a long hard cold spell that we have had here in the Midwest.  Getting back to my eating plan after just eating comfort food and too much of it.  We are in the 30's today, so much better than the below 0 temps that we had.

Here is a picture of a loaf of homemade bread that  I just took out of the oven.  I plan on staying out of it.  

Today's lunch was shrimp in low calorie cream sauce with veggies on flour tortilla and strawberries and yogurt.

This evening, I plan on eating soup with pineapple and yogurt.  

Today's Bible Verse:

Today's Verse

He gives us plenty of good things. He makes us young again, like an eagle that grows new feathers.

PSALM 103:5 

Devotion

Psalm 103 is a song of praise to the Lord. It begins with, “My soul, praise the LORD! Every part of me, praise his holy name! My soul, praise the LORD and never forget how kind he is!” (Psalm 103:1-2). It then goes on to list a number of the kindnesses that the Lord bestows upon His people. Our verse for today has one of them. The Lord gives us plenty of good things. Indeed, He gives us so many good things that we’re made young again, like an eagle that grows new feathers after the molting of its old feathers.

Bitterly Cold Here in the Midwest - 20 below 0 last night Back on Old WW 123 Success Plan Tomorrow - Bible Verse

 We have the most snow that we have had here all together for a long time here in the Midwest.  20 below 0 is just pretty cold with a wind chill of far more than that.  

Starting back on my old WW 123 Success Plan tomorrow.  Has been so cold here that I have just eaten comfort foods and need to get back on plan tomorrow.  I know this cold weather will pass sooner or later, but it is tough on people and animals right now.  

Bible Verse of Hope:

Romans 15:13 (NIV)

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Today's WW 123 Success Old Program Menu and Bible Verse

 Finally got all of my Christmas decorations put away yesterday.  Sure a lot more fun getting them out and decorating that putting them away.  I left them out longer and even lit my tree more that I have for a long time.

Today's menu:

large salad with lunch meat, cheese, homemade dressing

Premier protein caramel shake whipped with ice and frozen into "ice cream"  Will have some for lunch and rest this evening.  

May have a frozen dinner and rest of my "ice cream" this evening.

Bible Verse:

My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them.

—Proverbs 1:10

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

The real issue isn't "if" but "when" we're enticed and tempted! Our children face tremendous peer pressure and temptations. We do, too! We must help them resist the enticements of this pressure. Also, we must never tire of resisting them ourselves. One example of a parent preparing his child for trials and temptations is found when God affirmed his Son, Jesus, with affirming words at his baptism when he opened the heavens and said: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased" (Luke 3:21). And if the words weren't enough, God opened the heavens and sent down Holy Spirit in the form of a dove! How vital were these words of affirmation? When we see what happened next, Jesus' forty days of temptation in the wilderness, we realize they were essential! Satan's first words to Jesus were, "If you are the Son of God..." God had already blessed his Son with words of affirmation and encouragement before his trials. How much more do those we love need our words of affirmation and love to resist their trials and temptations?!

My Prayer...

O God, I do face temptations and enticements. Please guard my heart, my life, and my example. Please help me be a person of character and integrity. In addition, please enable me to lead, protect, guard, and warn my loved ones — those in my physical and spiritual families — and help them avoid stumbling and falling in trials and temptations. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

New Year New Start with Old WW 123 Success Program Menu and Bible Verse

 Hope everyone had a wonderful blessed Christmas and will have a blessed New Year.  Starting today, I am back on program and really glad to be.  Feels so good to get back to my normal pattern of eating.

As I have said before, I am no expert on food, but I know what works for me.  I have had to watch my weight all of my life and this program works best for me as I can still enjoy my favorites.  When I take away things that I like, I have a problem staying with it.  Here is today's menu:

Coffee with protein shake

chicken pattie with mustard and onion

homemade bun with protein powder and egg whites put in a little individual waffle maker.  not bad, but I will try to perfect it and add more seasonings next time

plant based cheese melted on my sandwich   

green beans

yogurt

soup this evening

Bible Verse for the New year:

Psalm 65:11: “You have crowned the year with Your bounty, And Your paths drip with fatness.” Psalm 103:4: “Who redeem thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies.” Psalm 104:33: “I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.”
