Happy Mothers' Day to all you wonderful Mamas out there in internet land! Hope you're having a very blessed day today!
My day was EXTRA blessed when my only child, my Daughter, walked into our Sunday School Class this morning and stayed for preaching, too, and went and ate out with Hubby and me. Thank You, Jesus!
Breakfast: None.
Lunch: Golden Corral buffet...need I say more??? I had a little steak, a small corn on the cob, a baked sweet potato, a little piece of a piece of cheese pizza, about 1/2 cup orange sherbert and 1/2 cup vanilla soft serve ice cream, chocolate cake icing from a piec of chocolate cake, 2 or 3 yeast rolls and a container of honey butter, about 1 cup of watermelon...probably around 1400 cals or so, I'm guessing.
Supper: 1/2 barbequed skinless chicken breast and 1/2 snicker bar, 300?. I was planning to NOT eat supper, but a friend brought some barbequed chicken over left from their cookout today and I couldn't resist....then I 'had' to find a snicker bar in the refrigerator door that I bought a couple of weeks ago and had forgotten all about. It feels good to be wearing my size 12's again...I wore size 12 to church again this morning....I used to think size 12 was fat believe it or not...I know...'DUH!!!'...but I sure don't think that now. But I was a size 8 and 10 at that time that I thought that.
BTW, I changed my supper menu for yesterday (see yesterday's entry.)
Today's cals: Guessing 1700.
Hope you have a wonderful afternoon! Every day is a wonderful day with the Lord! Big Smile!
Remember...Jesus loves ya and so do I!
Love, Maria (smile!)

Hello to you! Hope you're having a very blessed day today!
Breakfast: None.
Lunch: Another sugar binge of iced cinnamon/raisin bread. Maybe soon I won't want anymore of that.
Supper: There was a change to this day's entry...instead of fixing grilled or baked barbequed chicken and baked okra, Hubby offered to get us some KFC supper....so....supper was: KFC 2 fried chicken legs and 1 wing with the skin, 1 small slaw, and 1 small mac&cheese.
Hope you have a wonderful afternoon!
Remember...Jesus loves ya and so do I!

yes sweetie, I have said things that I really shouldn't have.. insert foot in mouth kinda things ..lol..but you asked for forgiveness so.. it should be ok.. depending on the kinda person you said it too.. :).. I hope they are the forgiving type :)..
as for your raisin bread.. yum.. but yes.. you need to get rid of it..lol.. when you eat carbs.. you crave carbs.. its a fact.. I know your not watching them like I am.. but I wanted you to know that.. this is why I don't have crazing any more.. not for sweets or breads or anything.. I did crave scrambled eggs the other night.. crazy huh..lol.. not like I am not eating eggs..lol.. all the time..lol..
sorry I haven't been here to comment the last few days.. been so0o0o busy.. its like.. leave an entry and run.. I hate that...but at least I can still get those in so I will remember what I ate when to evaluate my losses.. or gains and why..
well, I better go.. I need to tell some people about my friend Cindy having her baby.. :).. hugs to you.. and have a wonderful day tomorrow.. hugs

Hello to you! Hope you've had a very blessed day today!
Do you ever say something and really, really wish you hadn't????? I made this mistake today. Why didn't I think twice before opening my yapper? It's easy to say things, but then they can't be taken back. The person I said it to said I didn't hurt their feelings when I said I was sorry I'd said it after I said it and I really hope it didn't and now I've asked them and the Lord to forgive me and I hope all is well. That will teach me to think twice before I say something again, I hope.
Breakfast: None.
Lunch: (Another Sugar-Binge) Iced Cinnamon/Raisin Bread, not a little, and 1 Banana. I'd disposed of the remainder of yesterday's binge, thinking that would stop a repeat, but I went right back to the grocery store again today and did a repeat anyway.
Supper: 1 cup baked okra and 1 extra small piece of grilled-out steak. (I'm sitting on the back deck keying this and having a grilled-steak cook-out at the same time.)
Total: 1500?...not sure...maybe more, with the iced cinnamon-raisin bread again.
Exercise was walking in grocery stores 2 or 3 times.
Hope you have a wonderful afternoon!
Remember...Jesus loves ya and so do I!
Love, Maria (smile!)
Yea i have said some things i have regretted, but funny enough its usally to close family members or friends, so its easier to get off the hook with them. Sometimes out of nervouness (im a very anxious person), i say the wrong or stupid things to strangers and even if i do say im sorry i feel so awkward that im not sure they accept my apology.
I guess the way to go is this: You know you are a good, caring, wonderful person, and if sometimes you make a mistake by saying something you dont mean, and you say sorry, and people dont accept it....well then its their problem hehe.
Oh and by the way, by skipping breakfast, maybe your mini binge didnt do so much damage...

Thanks for telling me about the greenbeans and potatoes, im going to try it for sure! I also have a lot of fond memories of my grandmother's food, but i try not to think about it, since most of my memories are painful. Not that they are bad in any way, its just because they are memories and miss them, wish i can get back there for just 5 min. Sometimes when i close my eyes i do, but then i always get tears hehehehe.

Sounds like a great day Maria!

Hello to you! I thank each and every one of you who responded with comforting condolences regarding my Uncle. It really means a lot to know someone cares.
I hope each of you are having a very wonderful, happy, blessed day today!
It is a cloudy day here in S.C. It was a rainy day yesterday. Thank the Lord for the rain...we really needed it...I've been watering our flowers with the water hose off and on and so now that is not needed. We have 2 rosebushes in the back yard in bloom....orange roses...one has about 12 roses on it and the other has a good many, though not that many. I think the orange daylilies in the front yard are getting ready to bloom. The azaleas were in bloom last month...mostly red, pink, and peach colored ones are the varieties we have..but there are almost all finished blooming now and now other flowers are blooming. Isn't it amazing how the Lord created it to where all the flowers don't bloom all at the same time and thus we get to enjoy them a lot longer?
Today's Menu: (Numbers are estimates.)
Breakfast: banana and lite pimento cheese sandwich on lite wheat bread, 250.
Lunch: Barbequed chicken breast and small salad of cucumber, lettuce, green bell pepper, and celery, and desert of chocolate candy (gotta get some more apples), 600.
Supper: Green beans and potatoes and a piece of homemade cornbread with a little margerine, 350.
Nitesnack: Green beans and potatoes and 2 small chocolate candies, 150.
Today's Total: Guessing 1350 calories.
Hubby and I did eat out buffet yesterday and I was good with that (only had 1/2 yeast roll and a 'touch' of honey butter, small corn on the cob, baked sweet potato, about a cup of watermelon, a teaspoon or so of sunflower seeds, a small salad of lettuce and carrots, a little amount of fried chicken, 1/2 small piece of cheese pizza, 1/2 cup orange sherbert ice cream, and the chocolate icing off of a piece of chocolate cake (hehe!)) That was about 850 cals or so and I'd only had a banana for breakfast, then yesterday afternoon, we had a meeting at church and although I'd 'budgeted' for 300 cals, it was more like 500 cals with the small chocolate donuts and nuts. Last nite was a few more little pieces of chocolate candy...so total for yesterday was around 1700, I think, and I always try to do 'maintain cals' (around 1700) on Sundays, since we usually eat out buffet.
Hope you all have a good afternoon...remember...Jesus loves ya and so do I!
Love, Maria (smile!)
Those potatoes and green beans make my mouth water for some reason hehehe, you mind posting the recipe for us when you have time?
Have great day, hope you are doing better.

Maria, I'm so sorry about your Uncle. It's tough because even though you know he's up with God it's still hard not to seem him around down here anymore. You seem like a person of powerful faith though and I know that God is looking after the both of you. Keep your smile on girl!

I dropped some popcorn on the deck and a cute squirrel has come up here and is eating it...he/she gets a piece of popcorn and climbs up on the bannister beside me and sits there on his/her hind legs, holding it with front paws, staring at me while eating the popcorn...I talk to him/her and he/she seems almost tame...we have lots of squirrels that are like this...they also LOVE tomatoes...I quit having tomato gardens around the back deck because of the cute little critters' love for them. Any ideas on how I could have tomatoes planted and the little critters not want to eat the tomatoes????

First of all welcome back from your beach long weekend! I only got around to catch up all your entries since then and it sounded absolutely fabulous and so romantic! Im so glad you and your husband enjoyed yourselves! And dont feel guilty about the eating, i believe vacations are the times that we can let ourselves go a bit, who wants to miss out on all the nice treats for the rest of your life anyway, you only got one life.
Good food choices for today, it is tough to get back on track though after a long weekend of heavy eating...ask me....
You asked what winegums were, well they are the most amazing little sweets. Chewy in texture and very flavourful. Its got nothing to do with wine, like the names says lol, the only thing it has to do with it is its got the names of certain wines printed on the eg burgandy, port etc, very cute. My favourite is the black and red ones, but you get yellow, green and orange in the packet all mixed together. A small packet of mini winegums doesnt have many calories, about 250 and it satisfies my sweet tooth! Here is a website if you want to have a look at the package. Scroll down, you will find 3 versions, but my fav is the first one. Maynards Original Mini Wine gums. Maybe you can order some for yourself hehehe! http://www.satooz.com/category11_1.htm

Ohhh!! Sounds so nice! I love squirrels! Growing up we lived in a heavily wooded area and the little guys were everywhere!!! One got into the house one time and went crazy! I'm not sure what to do about the tomatoes, we used a squirrel feeder and didn't have many problems with our vegetables. I'm not sure if we grew tomatoes or not though. Anyway sounds like you're doing great! keep it up!!

hey sweetie.. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.. I didn't know you had a daughter.. good to know :).and how wonderful for her to come to church and out to lunch.. :).. you asked is it still raining.. :( yes.. and chilly out.. in the 40's.. they said it';s going to get warmer.. but still rain for a few days.. they said maybe Wed. for no rain.. but that's it.. waaa..lol..
I wanted to tell you about the awesome dream I had the other night.. :)
OK in the dream I was at our church.. and we were in a room.. that we really don't have.. but while sitting in these chairs.. someone would open a door off to the left.. and you could see inside the church.. that was weird.. but anyway.. I remember a little later.. me and my friend Beth was standing off to the side.. and I was telling her how I was doing on my diet.. and then I would reach my hands up.. kinda like holding on to a bar , but there wasn't anything there.. but I was holding something while pulling my legs out in front of me.. and Beth's eyes just opened real wide.. and I told her.. " see Beth.. God is helping me do this.. he is holding my hands.. and I kept doing it.. and I could see myself.. just hanging in mid air while pulling my legs up.. well, The phone rang and it woke me up.. and boy.. my arms hurt me..lol..it was Beth on the phone too..lol.. and I truly believe it was God's way of letting me know.. yes.. he is helping me :)..I already knew that of course.. but it was kinda a validation :).. he is AWESOEM ISNT HE.. :)..
ok its late and I need to get to bed.. hugs girly..
