Day 79

Weigh in day!  I only lost .4 last week, but hey, I'll take it. Now there's 21.8 pounds to go.  I think there were a few things that didn't go so well last week, namely:

  • I only exercised two days.
  • I think the points might have been wrong on some things (namely the ham sandwiches from The Cheese Shop--but I'm out of those, so that solves that).  I'm also a little worried about the sushi being more points than listed, but I've figured it out a couple of ways and keep coming up with the same number.
  • Too much salt, even for me.
  • I think I need to eat more veggies and less fruit, since fruit is basically sugar.

So the plan this week is more exercise, less salt, and trying to choose veggies over fruit when I can.
Less of this.
Okay, so on to Saturday.  The day started off with water and a lack of desire to eat food.  I was still full from the night before.  So breakfast was four glasses of water.  Total: 0 points
Breakfast.
It's always good to ease back in with bland, easy-to-digest food when you aren't feeling well, which is why I had spicy tuna rolls for lunch. But!  I bought a bottle of low sodium soy sauce in my quest for less salt.  And four more glasses of water.  Total: 5 points

Dinner was a big salad of lettuce, tomatoes, and two teaspoons of olive oil, plus a cup of Easy Fiesta Beans, minus the cheese on top.  Total: 9 points

I have been trying to expand my dairy options, so I was excited to see jalapeno string cheese made with part-skim mozzarella.  My main complaint with regular string cheese is that it tastes like plastic.  So I don't know why I was surprised that it tasted like jalapeno flavored plastic.  I will take it to work and put it in the team room.  Total: 2 regrettable points

And then I had some milk to get the rest of my dairy servings in for the day.  Total: 2 points

Liquids: 10/6
Dairy: 2/2 
Vitamin: 1/1
Healthy Oil: 2/2
Fruits/Veggies: 5/5
Protein: 3/2
Whole Grains: yes--brown rice in the sushi
Exercise: no--I did run around and do lots of errands, but no exercise.

Total: 18/26 points  
Weekly Points: 0/49 for the week
  

And finally, since I have been asked by MANY people about my opinion of the topless pics of my girl Kate, I have this to say: first, Kate, you're skinnier and prettier than 99.9% of the population, and they're just jealous.  And second, I swear to God, you stupid paparazzi, if she dies in a fiery car crash in a Paris tunnel, I will hunt you down, and I will strangle you with one of her tasteful Erdem belts. MARK MY WORDS.
This is one of my favorite gowns that she's worn. 
Go girl, you look good.

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 , pressed o

New Year, Old Me

And, after a brief 5 year hiatus, we're back! For those of you who are new here, for a number of years I wrote a blog featuring an assortment of things I found interesting: the British Royal Family, sarcastic hot takes on award show fashion, travel, and (the reason I started it) to help me keep stay on track with eating healthier food. Recently, one of my doctors suggested that I start the blog back up and I thought it was a good idea for a few reasons: chief among them to help with some health goals, plus I'd like to use it as a way to stay connected with some colleagues that departed at work. By way of an understatement, 2023 was a smidge rough.   My dad got really sick in April, and after that, it was a slalom of the American healthcare system / in-home healthcare / nursing facilities / ambiguous loss & living grief .  Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the company I work for turned 24 and, well, sometimes 24 year old companies behave like 24 year old humans.  They're fun

Kate Middleton, Goofball

My new favorite K-Middy gif came out today.  She and William went for a walk during their day off in Australia, and she totally did this: Big Willy and Babykins (their nicknames for each other) have talked about Kate's sense of humor before in interviews.  Apparently she's funny and sarcastic--now we're more than just hair soul mates!  Below are some of my favorite non-posed Kate pics. They're probably watching horses.  So British of them. This is at the Olympics.  She seems concerned. I'd also like to point out that I'm jealous of how good her ponytail looks. It sounds like she's saying "OMG no way!" Man, I hope that's what she's talking about with the fancy church people at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee service. Again, I suspect ponies are involved here. If you watch interviews with her (and I do) she makes this face all the time.  I LOVE IT. Celebrities: they're just like us!  They hide behind their
