Day 104

Ahh, the perils of working at home.

 Because the storm was coming, I responded appropriately by cooking all of the bacon.  So breakfast was three slices of low fat bacon (Andrew--protein!), a hard boiled egg (Andrew--protein!), a banana, and small slice of zucchini bread.  Plus a cup of water.  Total: 8 points
Then Chris lost his mind and decided he needed to get us lunch from Chick-fil-a.  Mmm hmmm.  So I had seven nuggets (Andrew--protein!) because Fitch stole one from me.  Then I had a cup and a half of grape tomatoes with ranch dip made with fat free sour cream.  And four glasses of unsweetened tea.  Total: 7 points
Snack was four tootsie rolls, a quarter cup of snack mix, and 19 pieces of candy corn.  And if you hate candy corn, I have this to say to you: more for me.  Total: 7 completely not worth it points
Oooh, is there a matching necklace?
Dinner was two sliders (Andrew--protein), a cup of apple, pretzels and hummus.  Plus another glass of water.  Total: 12 points

 And then I felt totally shameful because I only had about 1,000 steps on the pedometer, and had e-mailed my walk team to say that hurricanes were no excuse for not exercising.  So I did 45 minutes of cardio on wii fit (stepping, running, hula hooping, and my favorite--boxing)!  And then I did 10 minutes of weight lifting.  Hooray!  Plus three glasses of water.
Liquids: 9/6
Dairy: 1/2
Vitamin: 1/1
Healthy Oil: 0/2
Fruits/Veggies: 6/5
Protein: 5/2
Whole Grains: yes, pretzels
Exercise: yes, cardio and weights!
Total: 26/26 points
Weekly Points: 8/49 for the week. 
Steps: 15,000 (1,000 on the pedometer, 3,000 for cardio, 2000 for weight lifting, 5000 for veggies, 4000 for water)

 For this "coulda been worse but coulda been better" day, we'll give it a Sophie.
What on earth is this 'candy corn?'  It sounds vile.

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...

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...

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...
