Day 89

For breakfast, I had Indecision.  In the team room, there are 100-calorie English muffins, individual oatmeal cups, breakfast bars, etc.  But I didn't have any jelly for the muffins, the oatmeal was 300 calories, and the breakfast bars looked more like pseudo dessert.  So I unhappily ate an orange.  Total: 0 points

 Lunch was the September birthday celebration at work, so I had a salad with two teaspoons of olive oil, a slice of veggie pizza without the crust, a cup of strawberries (I cut each one in to fourths and was mocked by Coworker Inez who is always right about everything so I don't know why I don't ask her advice more often), and two bites of cake.  Plus a cup of water.  Total: 9 points
Snacky time was thirteen chocolate chips, two pretzel rods, and a cup of water.  Plus Dayquil.  Total: 2 points

 We were supposed to go out to the farm where we're getting married for dinner, but I felt t-e-r-r-i-b-l-e so we ordered from Rangolia, because there's nothin' like some Chana Masala to clear out your sinuses.  Plus rice, raita, a veggie samosa, and two cups of milk.  Total: 17 points
Burn my sinuses out, please!
Then allergy medicine and ice cream.  'Cause you're supposed to eat ice cream when you're sick.  Total: 4 points

Liquids: 4/6
Dairy: 2/2 
Vitamin: 1/1
Healthy Oil: 2/2
Fruits/Veggies: 6/5
Protein: 3/2
Whole Grains: yes, pretzels
Exercise: no, too sick
Total: 26/26 points  
Weekly Points: 11/49 for the week   

Overall, I give the day a Prince Philip, since he's always sick.
Where are we?  What is all of this nonsensical text about Indian food?

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
