Today's Calorie Counting Menu

Have been away from calorie counting since before Christmas, so am getting back to it today. I have around 10# that I would like to lose before Spring; but, if I don't that is okay as long as I am eating fairly well and getting to eat the things that I want.

Since I need to watch both cholesterol and blood sugar without meds, some days my menu isn't perfect but overall, I do the best I can.

Today's Menu:

Morningstar chik pattie with bun and veggie cheese

Broccoli and onions with yogurt dip

air fried squash

5 olives

Greek yogurt

Protein powder

1 c blueberries

Today's Bible Verse

Philippians 4: 6-9

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Prayer for the New Year

God,

You are the light of the world.

Because of You, I no longer walk in darkness but in Your light. May my life reflect Your truth, pointing others to You and bringing glory to Your name.

Give me the strength and courage to share the hope that I have in You.

This world is broken, but You make what’s broken whole again.

This year, draw near to the lost, the lonely, and the hurting. And, please draw near to me.

May Your love bring us together, mending division and unifying Your global Church.

No matter what this year holds, You are faithful and Your promises are true.

Thank You for the eternal hope that I have in You.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
