Today's Calorie Counting Menu

 Today's Menu:

Knockoff chocolate muffin

sloppy jos with huge salad with low calorie dressing

strawberries and yogurt

Flax, chia and collegen

cottage cheese

applesauce

6 saltines

Trying to drink more water today.  Know that I don't get enough, but trying to change that.  I walked for 20 minutes and did some weights.  May walk another 20 if I get time today.  

My Low Calorie Knockoff Chocolate Breakfast Muffin - 3 Ingredients

 I made a low calorie chocolate muffin which is a knockoff for a major diet muffin.  I ate one portion this morning and it was pretty moist and the flavor was pretty good.  It came to approx. 175 calories, but I added 1 T of sf syrup on the top. Recipe says it should make 12 muffins, so would be less calories per muffin.  Very quick and easy with just 3 ingredients.  If you made 12, calories would be approximately 120 each.  Think the name brand are approx. 180 calories each.

As far as cost these cost me $1. for the cake mix and approx. .75 for the yogurt, so the cost was really great.  The name brand ones cost around $2. each and, in my opinion, these are better.  

1 Box SF chocolate cake mix

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 cup water (I didn't add quite this much.  Just added a little at a time).  I made it in a small pan instead of muffin tins this time and divided it into 8 servings

Baked at 350 just until it was done.  Just checked often.  I will probably make this again, but will add just a few sf chocolate chips.  

I am going to try a knockoff cinnamon streusel muffin next time with oats.  


Down Another Pound on my Calorie Counting Weight Loss Eating Plan

 Nice sunshiney cold morning here in the Midwest.  Had snow yesterday and only in the teens this morning.  I haven't been posting for a few days since I haven't much to report; however, this morning I am down a # - making a total of 1 lost this week.  Pretty slow; but, as I am able to eat whatever I want within my calorie range, I am happy with that.  I am now 7# from my first goal, then maybe 8 or 10 to go after that.  Don't know, yet.  Will just depend on how my Spring clothes fit.  :) 

Yesterday's menu:

Cheerios with almond milk

Chili with salad

6 saltines

Blueberries with plain Greek yogurt

cottage cheese

applesauce

6 saltines

2 T flax, 1 T chia, and 1 scoop collagen

 Bible verse for today:

Lamentations 3:22–23 -

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
