Day 28

I did some awesome planning today, which made no difference!  None at all!  I took my workout gear, and my healthy lunch and breakfast with me, then got sidetracked by crazy people doing crazy things.
Truth.
I did manage to drink 4 glasses of water at work, and I finally got around to eating about 3ish, when I had 3 ounces of ham and a cup of watermelon.  Around 6ish I had a tablespoon of chocolate chips.  My healthy salad and weird little cheese stayed in the fridge because I was so stressed that I wasn't hungry.


By the time I got home, I was majorly hungry, and I didn't feel like cooking.  So we went to the Mexican place by our house.  I had 2 more glasses of water, as well as chips (whole grains), guacamole and salsa (veggies), and shrimp (Andrew--protein!) with black beans (Andrew--protein!), pineapple (fruit), and rice (I'm only human).  Then Chris and I split a small piece of tres leches cake, which I thought was a nice alternative to drinking a pitcher of sangria and downing a gallon of ice cream.  I was still bursting with Mexican goodness though.


This is how I felt.
Then I came back home and did MOAR WORK (sob), and put away all my clean laundry, because for some reason, the leather chair piled full of clean clothes wasn't working for Chris.  And I knew I should do cardio, but I didn't.  So I promise that I will do some at work tomorrow, or my work peeps can shame me!  Funsies!


Now I feel all gross and stuff.  I don't think I ate horribly, I just think that eating all the food at once probably wasn't the best plan.  And I need to have more water to balance out all the salt in tonight's dinner.  Overall, salt isn't a concern for me--in fact, my doctor says I can have as much as I want due to the anemia/low blood pressure.  So you can hate me for that the next time your sprinkling some Mrs. Dash on your baked potato.
I'ma get my sodium on!
In conclusion...
Do All the Cardio? Not unless you count moving my office, which actually was a lot of walking up and down the hall all day.
Blog All the Food? Yes.  And I had 4 tootsie rolls too.
Measure All the Things? I measured all my breakfast and lunch stuff.  I could have been better about counting the number of tortilla chips I had.  Wait, did someone say tortilla chips?!

Freezer Meal #2 - Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples

This is the second part of my foray in to freezer meals - the first part can be found here  for Cheesy Shells and Italian Sausage. Today we're making a pork and apples recipe adapted from The Pampered Chef.  I love this one--it's so easy to assemble in advance, most of the ingredients you likely already have, and it couldn't be easier to fix the day you want to eat it (dump stuff in pan, bake). So yummy.  And pretty. Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples For this you'll need the ingredients below.  You probably have the oil, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, mustard, and bags in your pantry!  You can also easily divide this recipe if you usually only cook for 2-3 people at a time (that's what I do when I make it). 2 pork tenderloins , about 2 pounds total - they can be expensive, so pick these up on sale 3 apples - I prefer honeycrisp but use what you like, or take one of these suggestions 1 small red onion 1/4 cup canola oil 1 clove garlic , press...

The Oscars, powered by onion dip

My hilarious friends Kelley and Christopher invited me over for the Oscars so that we could judge red carpet looks. Kelley is one of the few people in my life that makes me laugh without fail, and she blogs her adventures--and misadventures--over at The Lundscape .   Kelley warned me prior to coming over that they were more "Shame" than "Squad," so that's how we ended up with three types of dip.  This was fortuitous, though, because the dips sustained us through grueling hours of pausing and rewinding live coverage, swapping drink recipes  we learned on vacation, and discussing what award shows would be like on Middle Earth. Let's dive right in, shall we? Kelley : Janelle Monae's dress was sponsored by the Audubon society. Christopher:  This looks like "Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen meets Marie Antoinette." (It is revealed that the designer is Elie Saab.) Alyssa:  I'm pretty sure Elie Saab went on a coke bender. Kelley: ...

The Olympic Outfits of Johnny Weir, rated

The Verner girls are back, 4 years later, to discuss the outfits of Johnny Weir. (And the crowd goes wild!) Since writing about his Sochi wardrobe , it has been one of my top posts of all time. Other highly rated posts include a post about the palaces of Hawaii , how to pack for vacation , a Pampered Chef cheesy pasta recipe , and Meghan Markle tiara predictions . You guys are an eclectic group. Speaking of eclectic, let's talk about Johnny's overall look. First, let me start off by saying that yes, I know that Johnny looks like a cross between the Hunger Games, Pee Wee Herman, and Colonel Sanders. So obviously, I've seen that one post on Twitter about it. And that meme on Facebook. And that thread on Reddit. Johnny is not one for subtlety. One year he said he was going to go with a "not-so-literal" interpretation for his Kentucky Derby hat, and he then literally wore a crown of roses and a mint julep on his head. Basically, Johnny would not know subtl...
