food, calories, exercise,

I had a lazy day today, the only thing I did today was wash one load of clothes and hang them up to dry.  They were not dry the last time I checked on them so I will just leave them up until tomorrow sometime.  Now tomorrow I really have to clean and straighten up.  I need to vacumn the carpets and sweep the kitchen and mop.  Grandson is coming sometime tomorrow afternoon and he spends most of his time on the floor.  I sure do want it clean for him to set on.  We will take him home on Saturday evening.  I have not seen him or my daughter in at least two weeks it seems like a month.  That is not a long time but you have t remember he spent a lot of time with me until he started to school and he actually seems like he is my own child.

I decided to start beingvery particular about my portion sizes so today I measured everything and wrote down everything , and did not estimate any.

Here is my meal

breakfast,
1/2 cup oatmeal+1/4 cup raisens+3 cups of coffee=355 calories

lunch
lettuce+tuna+fat free hidden valley dressing+celery+carrot+sweet peas=405

dinner
talapia+steamed veggies+squash+sweet peas+sweet potatoes+honey carrots=540

snack
blueberries+1/2 cup 2% milk=155

total calories is 1455 (unless I added wrong)

That was a healthy eating day,  I got all of my vegetables, and I got fish and a little bit of berries and milk.  I would have liked to eat some fruit but I did not have any.  Oh well I got a lot of fiber today. That is good for my colon health.  I love getting a lot of antioxidants. 

I did alittle bit of stretching today, not as much as I should have done , but I did stretch each portion of my body .I went walking today also.  I really put some speed into it and was able to cut between 5 and 10 minutes off of the usual 45 minutes it takes me.   I was pleased with how fast I was walking.  It was really too cold to be sauntering along. 

I woke up this moring praising the Lord and I have felt His closeness all day long.   I know that we can not expect to feel the Lord near us and that we are supposed to by faith alone know that He is ever present.  But it is so sweet when it feels like He is just a small touch away.

I am going to get my testimony and post it.  I hope it blesses each person that reads it.  I hope ethat no matter how lost, how alone, how desparate, how bitter you feel, there is One that loves you beyond compare,There is one that gave His earthly life for you/

Good night and
God bless
