John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Hello to you!
Hope you've had a wonderful day today! Every day is a good day with the Lord!
As for me, I went to a flea market in another town over this morning and a woman was selling some bed outfits she had made. I bought a set and it has flamingos and large palm (I think they are) leaves and very, very colorful...green, blue, yellow, orange, etc. Brought it home and it looks terrific on our bed! It is a comforter, 2 large long pillows, and 2 square pillows.
Then, a little after this, I took my Mom to her appointment at the eye doctor. After we left from there I stopped at Krispy Kreme and got us each a fresh, warm, glazed donut, yum!
After taking her home, I came home and cooked supper for Hubby and me...hamburger steak and french fried potatoes for him and just a hamburger for me.
Today's Menu:
Breakfast: 1 fatfree cheese sandwich with multi-grain bread, 200, part of a banana, 55.
Lunch: The other part of the banana, 50, and most of an apple, 100.
Snack: 1 peanut butter/cheese cracker, 30.
Snack: 1 Krispy Kreme donut, 200.
Supper: 1 hamburger with ketchup and mustard and multi grain bread, 365.
Today's Total: 1000 calories.
Some walking, not as much as usual, though.
Have a good night.
Remember...Jesus loves ya and so do I!
Love, Maria (smile!)

Hello to you!
Hope you've had a good day today!
Mine has been busy...paying bills, buying groceries....shopping at the second-hand store...I found Hubby and me 2 shirts each...all for less than $7.00! Something to maybe take with us on our l-o-n-g weekend beach vacation coming up in 2 weeks, Lord willing.
Hubby and I grilled out steaks on the back deck after he came home from work, then after we ate, we decided to work on our new patio set, and put together a large rectangular glass-top table which has 6 chairs and an umbrella that came with it. So, we're glad we've got that completed. Next is yard work...load and haul off limbs that fell during a little wind the other day and haul off an old swing.
Today's Menu:
Brunch: 2 sweet little peanut butter cookies (Nekot), 80, 2 lowfat peanut butter/cheese crackers, 60, 2 bananas, 210.
Lunch: Krispy Kreme honey-glazed donut, 200.
Snack: Dairy Queen 2/3 of a small cone of chocolate ice cream, 100.
Supper: Small piece of grilled-out steak, 250, 1 cup lettuce, 15, 1 tsp. fatfree thousand island dressing, 10, 1/2 cup baked okra, 25, 1/2 cup baked squash, 50.
Today's total: 1000 calories.
Lots of water.
Exercise was a lot of walking.
Hope you have a good night...remember...Jesus loves ya and so do I!
Love, Maria (smile!)
You are doing a great job of exercising and staying at a good calorie count each day. Good for you. The other day you talked about wanting to snack at 11 PM but resisted. That's a great victory. I have the same problem in the evenings. It's where I can do some serious damage if I let myself. You showed some great restraint, good for you!
Have a great weekend!

Hello to you!
Today was sunny, very warm, in the 80's (fahrenheit) here in S.C. Woke up early this morning hearing the birds in the trees outside singing sweetly.
I felt good this morning when I decided to see if I could get on a red size 8 pantsuit to wear to church that had been hanging in the closet a long time and it fit well! Even got compliments wearing it at church, hehehe!
Today has been a stress-eat day. Began with a phone call around 2:30am this morning...I won't go into details...just very stressful...followed by another one a few hours later from a different person...who had been stressed out from the same one that had called here, that had called after calling here...Well, I did okay with breakfast...and so-so with buffet dinner...but then this afternoon there was a mandatory meeting (not connected to the phone calls)...and at first I held my resolve to NOT give in to the nuts, chips, and candy at the meeting....but before the meeting was over (about 2 hours), I'd given in to about 300 calories...then tonight....more stress...and I gave in to 'comfort foods'... 680 calories over today's calorie budget of 1700...
Today's Menu:
Breakfast: 1 scrambled egg, 100, 1 plain toast, 70, 1 banana, 105.
Lunch (Golden Corral Buffet): 2 yeast rolls, 380, 3/4 packet honey butter, 45, sweet potato, 140, small corn on cob, 100, most of a piece of cheese pizza, 200, most of a piece of a fried chicken leg, 200, 1 tbs. chocolate icing, 100.
Snack at a Meeting: Chips, nuts, candy: 300.
Supper: Grilled cheese sandwich, 230, 1 banana, 105, 4 mini-snickers candy, 160, and 1& 1/2 cups purple globe grapes, 135.
Today's Total: 2380 calories. Yes, I really did eat all of this...looks like a lot, doesn't it????
Exercise: About an hour or so of playing the piano and about 30 to 45 minutes of walking.
Well, hope you have a good nite...remember..Jesus loves ya and so do I!
Love, Maria (smile!)
sanesister2 on 04/02/2006:
Wow Maria... Congratulations on all the weight you have lost... I love reading your comments...you are a real inspiration... I hope I can read and learn from you as Im just starting out. God Bless.

Supper: 1 egg sandwich, 240.
Late snack: Small snack-size 94% fatfree lite butter popcorn, 100.
Total calories: 1175
Exercise...Walking at the Farmers Market where I bought some fresh summer squash at 79 cents/pound...Also walking in stores.
Hope you have a good night's rest and wake up and go to the Lord's house tomorrow and worship Him....

Hello to you!
Hope you're all having a wonderful day!
My Mom and I traveled upstate today and we visited some kinfolks. It was a real sweet visit. We hadn't seen them in a good while!
It is sunny and warm, here in S.C. (70's fahrenheit), the birds are singing harmoniously in the trees, and I am sitting on the lounge chair on the back deck keying this, contemplating grilling out some chicken for supper.
Tonight, we also have church, after suppertime.
Today's menu:
Breakfast: 2 bananas, 210, 1 scrambled egg, 100, 1 plain toast, 70.
Lunch: Bag of potato chips, 200.
Snack: Hardee's Apple Turnover, 270, 1 cup red grapes, 90, a very few (8 or 9?) boiled peanuts, 60.
Supper: 1 cup okra, 50, and one small roasted chicken leg, 150.
Lots of water and not as much exercise today.
Total calories for today: 1200 calories.
I almost gave in to some chocolate malted milk balls at the grocery store...it was a small bag and only looked like maybe a cup-full...but according to the calories on the back of the bag, it was 540 calories! So I put them back and came home and had grapes instead.
Have a good afternoon and remember...Jesus loves ya and so do I!
Love, Maria (smile!)
I am glad that you and your mom got to visit some finfolk today.. :O).. thats just great.. :O)..There are alot of my kinfolk that I havent seen in quit some time.. :O(..
hey I have something for you to try.. the gal who toldme about this didnt give any measurments..lol.. but..she said to take whipping cream.. cocoa... vanille extract and some splenda.. mix it up and she says it taste like chocoloate icecream.. I think I will trt this hehe.. hope its good ;O).... you have a great day Maria.. smiles to you hun.. :O)
It sounds really peaceful, sitting on a lounge chair on your back deck......where are you from again, is sit Southern California or Sacramento? We lived in Newport Beach/Irvine when we were there and i loved it, also great weather....
About the cheese, it was good old fashioned mozarella. Yea, i know cheese is sometimes the forbidden apple, but its soooo nice to treat oneself to a nice grilled cheese sandwich once in a while, it does good for the soul, if you know what i mean.
Have a great day!
monet0239 on 03/29/2006:
