Day 117

Yesterday was weigh-in day, and I'm up 2.2 pounds, with 22.2 now to lose.  EFF!  A disaster of this magnitude can only be represented by the following:
I can't decide what is worse: their hairstyles, Camilla's safari coat, or Anne's glasses.  Or Anne's shirt. Or Anne's multiple scarves.  Dear God, Anne, get it together!
Breakfast was with Chris and his dad, and included a cup and a half of potatoes, grilled tomatoes, fruit, a hard boiled egg, and a piece of whole wheat toast with a teaspoon of jam.  Also two glasses of unsweetened tea.  Sooo tasty for $8.  Thanks, Eggspectation!  Total: 10 points
Hooray for non-meat protein!
Snacky time was a slice of weight-watchers friendly pumpkin pie with a tablespoon of fat free Cool Hwhip and a glass of water.  Total: 3 points
Why do you say it like that?  Cool Hwhip?
My pumpkin pie recipe is SO easy and will seriously take you five minutes to throw together before you pop it in the oven.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, lightly beat one egg. Stir in 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon ginger and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Add a 15 oz can of pumpkin and 3/4 cup fat free evaporated milk. Stir until well combined. Pour into a 9 inch unbaked pie shell.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F and bake until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool for 1 hour before serving.
Pumpkin pie with Cool Hwhip!
Dinner was three ounces of chicken and a caprese salad with some easy four ingredient homemade pesto, which I made using only half the oil and it was still awesome.  And now my hands smell all basil-y and delicious!  Also three glasses of water.  Total: 8 points


Exercise was a half hour of wii fit and weight lifting and two glasses of water.  I have decided I need a name for my wii fit yoga trainer even though I hate her.  Suggestions?
What should I call you?  Anne?  Camilla?  Lilibet?
Snack was a few cups of tomatoes with ranch made with fat free sour cream, and four tootsie rolls.  Total: 3 points

For today's excellent exercising, I think I deserve some props from you people.
Just kidding.  I'm aware that my exercising was awesome.

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
