Day 86

Sunday is weigh-in day.  Let's talk about last week in terms of a science experiment, shall we?
My purpose was to find out what happens if you don't exercise and then give up at the end of the week and eat french fries.  My research shows that french fries have lots of calories and sodium.  My hypothesis was that I won't lose any weight.  Experimenting was fun--I drank wine, ate chocolate, and then went on a carb binge.  I analyzed my weight this morning and it was exactly the same as last week.  In conclusion, I wish I wouldn't have done that.  Still 21.8 pounds go to.  My goal for this week is to break in to the 19ish pounds to go.

 Anyway, let's recap Saturday.  For breakfast, I had sleeping.  Magical, wonderful sleeping.  Left to my own devices, I usually sleep until about 8:30.  But the more stressful work gets, the greater my ability to sleep in becomes. Soooooo, I got up a little after 11.  Total: 0 points
Breakfas....zzzzzzzzzzzz.
The laziness continued as I watched tv in my pajamas while Chris picked up lunch.  (Thanks, dear!)  I had eight chicken nuggets, a fruit cup, twelve tortilla chips, and a half cup of salsa.  Plus two cups of water.  Total: 11 points
Confession: I kept my pajamas on all day.  I regret nothing.
Then I took a looooong nap.  For all you insomniacs out there, I invite you to come to one of my eight hour meetings.  It'll cure ya!

 Dinner was a salad with two teaspoons of lemon olive oil and a half cup of refried beans.  I also made veggie burgers, but only had a few bites because I was really feelin' the salad and the beans.  Plus two cups of unsweetened tea.  Total: 6 points

 Snacky time was a cup of milk and four tootsie rolls.  Total: 3 points
Let me see your Tootsie Roll!

Dairy: 1/2 
Vitamin: 1/1
Healthy Oil: 2/2
Fruits/Veggies: 5/5
Protein: 4/2

Total: 20/26 points  
Weekly Points: 0/49 for the week  

Overall, I give the day a comfy looking Kate.
"William, dear, go get me some chicken nuggets."

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...
