Week 27, MONDAY, Diet with Dianna

Week 37 and I have lost thirty-one pounds. I have a quite a ways to go, but I am well on my way!
Woo-hoo!

Matthew 6:25-34 NIV (New International Version)

Do Not Worry
    ²⁵ “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷ Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?   ²⁸ “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹ Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰ If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? ³¹ So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’³² For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Week 27, Sunday, Diet with Dianna

“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.” Colossians 3:16 NIV

Sunday was a great day. I stayed in my p.j.'s all day. It was great! I needed to get out and go to the grocery store, but I postponed it until tomorrow. I didn't exercise and I didn't walk. It was great being lazy...all day. I watched three Hallmark Christmas movies, worked on my cookbook, played a couple of games on my son's tablet, and cooked one meal and heated up two meals. I made a huge batch of my spicy seasonal Chex Mix and the house smells really good!

Today Menu:
Egg, turkey sausage, and small bowl of oats with blueberries, and cup of coffee. Hmmm!

Two warmed up pieces of chicken tenders from last nights dinner and a very small helping of smashed potatoes.

Chex mix and a handful of mixed nuts and some sugar free hot cocoa.

Ready for bed! Night all and ready for Monday!

Week 26, Saturday, Diet with Dianna

Lazy day! I needed this. After lazing all morning and mid-day, we headed off to church for a great night of worshiping the Lord! Awesome service and word from our pastor. "An attitude of gratitude". Don't let the spirit of pride or the spirit of poverty prevent you from being grateful. God is your provider, not man....

After worship service, we were hungry and ate chicken, taters, and hot rolls. Oh! So good. We headed home and watched another Christmas special on Hallmark channel. It was such a good movie, and a great day!

Today's menu:

One fried egg, two turkey sausages, and coffee with cream.

One very small turkey and swiss cheese sandwich and a few jalapeno chips.

Chicken tenders, mashed potatoes and a roll.

Coffee while watching the movie.


I cannot turn back the hands of time and look more youthful, but I can reduce the size of my body and get back to this size, once again! :D

Week 26, Thursday, Diet with Dianna

Thanksgiving Day! My entire core family had the perfect day! God is good!
We didn't do the traditional Thanksgiving feast, but instead deleted all the cooking and cleaning and overeating and ate food from Boston Market, shot pool, played board games, had family photos made, went to the Gaylord Texan and looked at all the Christmas lights and toy trains, (they) ate huge cookies and drank hot cocoa (I drank coffee and no cookies for me), watched the Cowboy's win the football game. Then we got home and watched a Hallmark Channel Christmas movie, went to the grocery store and finally ended the day around 12:30 a.m.  AWESOME day!

Menu:
Family: cinnamon rolls and orange rolls
Me: one egg, turkey sausage, 1/2 cup of oats w/blueberries and cream

Boston Market:
Family: Turkey, Dressing, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, corn bread rolls, pumpkin or Apple pie
Me: Roasted chicken, sweet potatoes (yes, I indulged), and green beans. One corn bread muffin
Oh and I ate a small slice of Apple Pie!!! Oh, it was delicious but WAY too sweet...Ahhh!

Coffee with sugar free almond flavoring

A few corn chips and salsa as a late snack.

I did not exercise...It was a holiday and I took the day off.

Week 26, Wednesday, Diet with Dianna

Everyone have a safe, blessed and healthy Thanksgiving tomorrow!


Oh what a day! Busy, busy, busy on the day before the two day holiday.
I started my day by going to church and volunteering in their offices. I had a great, peaceful time. There are so many happy, friendly, peaceful, loving people there. I had an awesome time. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to help. Each person that I meet goes out of their way to express their gratitude for the help. Truly, I haven't met an unfriendly person, yet. I look forward to each time.

After working, I dashed over to the local warehouse club to get some items for the next couple of weeks of dinners and lunches.  Tomorrow, is Thanksgiving so that means lots of preparations for many people. I am not cooking this year, but my mom and sisters have been at it all day. I came home from a long day and jumped right in cleaning up and helping them finish whatever needed to be done.
Here I am at 1:41 a.m. and I am still up finishing up my day. I am ready for a HUGE couple of days off! That is one of the many things I am thankful for!

Today's menu was not the best...but I didn't have a choice, this time.

One egg, oats with blueberries, one slice of bacon

half a hamburger and a few fries, diet coke

2 small piece of pizza and diet coke.

No snacks...couldn't afford the calories.

I did drink about 1/4 cup of red Moscato  to settle my stomach...too much bread, I think.


Exercise: I did a brisk walk and run about 1/4 mile with my nephew...he needed to get his wiggles out. Pixyl, my son's dog, was really enjoying the running, too.
