Day 110

Breakfast was a cup of rice chex and a half cup of skim milk, plus a cup of water.  Total: 4 points

 Lunch was three quarters of a cup of chili, a salad with tomatoes roasted in olive oil, and three cups of water.  Total: 6 points
Yay!  Olive oil!  Shiny nails and hair and no heart disease and low bad cholesterol!
Then I went to a party at my friend Susan's house, and being the faithful Shame Squad reader that she is, she had super healthy food!  Yay for Susan, who is hilarious and bilingual and had a tiara for me to wear!  I had a glass of water, a half cup of fruit (strawberries and grapes), a half cup of veggies (carrots and celery) with a tablespoon of dip made with low fat sour cream, and five tiny pretzels with a tablespoon of hummus.  Plus two little cookies that were delicious and tasted like fall!  Sooooo yummy.  Total: 6 points
Tiara!  Yay!
Dinner was funsies with Kiki and Rob, where we discussed weddings, politics, and Disneyworld.  You know, all the non-controversial topics.  I had a caprese salad (tomatoes, mozzarella, olive oil) and a bowl of minestrone soup.  Also four glasses of unsweetened tea and water.  And half a cannoli, because cannolis are delicious!  Total: 16 points
Sooo worth the extra points.
Exercise was weight lifting and wii fit (boxing, running, step aerobics) with two glasses of water.

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
