Verse To Live By

Make it your ambition
to lead a quiet life
to mind your own business
and to work with your hands...

So that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders

And so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

I Thessalonians 4:11-12

Off to a Fresh Start

My first post on my newest blog.  I want to keep my posts simple, jotting down things I hear, read, see, or experience that makes LIFE more simple.  I do not want the posts to be long, so they may be more frequent.  I will also sub-title the topics within my posts.  So here goes...


Scripture Inspirations

Through love serve one another.  (Gal 5:13)
Whenever we have the opportunity, we have to do what is good.  (Gal 6:10)
What is important is faith expressing itself in love.  (Gal 5:6b)
For the whole law can be summed up in this one command:  "Love your neighbor as yourself."  (Gal 5:14)

What can be more simple than simply expressing ourselves in loving ways to those about us during the moments of our days?  We can choose our attitude!  I choose love!!


Food Inspirations

Weight Watchers Magazine was the inspiration to kick start a new healthy life through what I eat.  I have not joined WW, but I did subscribe to their magazine, for it is loaded with good ideas, good recipes, fashion ideas, and practical stuff to help me live better.  I will be sharing some of my inspirations from the magazine in my posts.  

I want to try Weight Watchers Smart Ones meals when I am eating alone.  The first one to catch my eye is Teriyaki Chicken and Vegetables, which happens to be Gluten Free.

Gluten Free is almost a fad, growing at the rate of 28% a year, but that does not make it a weight-loss program, due to many of the products having more sugar and fat calories.  A simple blood test, ordered by your doctor, can tell you if you have a gluten intolerance.  I plan to ask for this the next time I visit my doctor.  I highly doubt I have that problem, but I don't mind checking it out.  Since I do have high triglycerides and blood pressure, I need the gluten found in whole grains.
