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 , 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...
