10/16 Thrifty Thursday

[theworm[$]]

I'm thinking that we can be thrifty with more than just money. Let's try being thrifty with our food. Let's try to make everything we eat count. What do we want - we want to be healthy, in shape AND we want to enjoy our food. So instead of just grabbing foods when we're hungry, let's plan more and be thrifty so that whatever we choose satisfies our cravings and is good for us.

I started with
coffee
grapes - 1
and I have my outlook set to remind me to drink water! (Thanks, MJ!)

Just caffiene so far.

I'm usually pretty thrifty all day, it's when I get home that I "spend" too much.

[theworm[$]]

Me too!

This is funny. Today's Upper Room (prayer book) reading was quoting a bible verse that was along this line.

Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food.

-Isaiah 55:2 (NRSV)

Note that by "rich food," Isaiah does not mean fourless chocolate cake but in food that is rich with goodness for your body. The writer went on to talk about cotton candy - sweet and tasty and then all gone and unfulfilling in the long run.



OK so it struck me as a Twilight Zone coincidence.




Ahem. Anyway, I've had coffee with skim milk and an itsy bit of sugar.

Wow! That's can't be coincidence - it's fate!
Everyone MUST eat healthy and vitamin rich foods!
