Thank you, Z. Spending time in the Word at home is wonderful, but you're right- there's something special about the "fellowship of the saints" at church. Hope you have a great day! I do understand not being able to get your spiritual food along with everyone else. It's not as enjoyable to partake of spiritual food at home. I'm sure everyone misses seeing u at church though u mentioned that they have visited u at home.
Hope all goes well with the doctor. Take care, Z

Isn't the sunshine wonderful?!!! After being couped up in the upstairs of my house for 9 days, hubby & I went out today. 1st stop, a haircut from Ms. Beth at Great Clips. Then on to Mojitos, more about that tomorrow, and then home. The little pleasures of life sure can brighten one's day. What I ate on Tuesday: B. 2 c. coffee, McDonald's breakfast burrito & a fruit cup
L. marvelous green salad from Wendy's + a couple of bites of baked potato
D. pulled pork, baked beans & a little green salad
Snax: mini bag of popcorn
Small portions, pretty good choices, considering that hubby is the chief "cook" these days. 4 days till church- I am hoping to get back this Sunday; 5 days till I go back to doctor & see how my ankle does with a brace & special shoe.
Have a great rest of week. Go Cats! Go Cards!!!
Why u may ask do I need to know what I ate yesterday? My reason, is that if u know what u ate then u can know why or at least have a reasonable idea as to what's going on with your weight. You learn if there is a need for adjustment in portions or even the types of foods you are eating.Counting on your memory alone. Yeah, that may have added to your size in the beginning huh?
Tracking your daily intake but journaling not only what you planned to eat but what you actually ate really helps.
Believe it or not we can be good liars when it comes to what goes into our mouth, whether by omission or portion size.
Take the time to journal whether on the site or in a notebook of your own. Have a great day.
Here's what I ate yesterday. What about you?

Snax: about 1c. popcorn, a fudgesicle, oldest son brought me a Chai Tea Latte, NF :)

Everyone have a great week-end! Take time to count your blessings, give thanks for another day of life & keep on keeping on with your WL plan!
Go Cats! Go Cards!!!
All was going well as you will see after I post. Took my vitamins, drank my water and life was going along fine. Saved myself for Red Lobster Feast and ate Lobster, Crablegs, Shrimp Scampi and a few fried shrimp along with brocolli florets and only one biscuit. However a friend gave me 4 homemade ranger cookies, I ate them and the food grid went upward. So today I must eat smart and stick to my plan, avoiding any detours. Hope your day went well yesterday and continues through the weekend.
