Day 94

Breakfast was two glases of water and three meetings.  One of them was a standing meeting.  I was told that I have a different voice for meetings.  Ya think?  I don't know that sarcastic cussing would be work-appropriate.  Apparently my meeting voice is very "sing songey."  I'll take it.  Total: 0 very tired points
Lunch was a half cup of white beans, three mini cornbread muffins, a salad of lettuce, tomatoes, feta, cucumbers and peppers with two teaspoons of oil, and two glasses of water.  Can I just say that I love cornbread muffins?  LOVE THEM.  Total: 8 points
Friday night was date night, so we went out for Indian at Rangoli.  I had a veggie samosa, channa masala, rice, naan, and raita.  Plus water.  Lots and lots of water.  We'll just say four glasses.  Total: I don't really know, but it wasn't more than 18 points
Liquids: 8/6
Dairy: 2/2
Vitamin: 1/1
Healthy Oil: 2/2
Fruits/Veggies: 6/5
Protein: 4/2
Whole Grains: yes, the corn bread muffins
Exercise: no--for shame
Total: 24/26 points  
Weekly Points: 2/49 for the week 

 Overall, I give the day a Zara.  Not Kate, but not bad.
"Corn is for my horses.  And you bake it in to your bread?!"

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
