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!

Overall, I give the day a comfy looking Kate.

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
