Day 133

Breakfast was sleeping.  Uuugh.  Go away, anemia.

Lunch was a half cup of easy fiesta beans made with reduced fat cheese, a cup of skim milk, a salad with a teaspoon of olive oil, and two glasses of water.  Total: 6 points
Easy!  And fiesta-y!
Exercise was a half hour of wii fit cardio and yoga.
I hate you, Heather.  I hate you and your stupid "center of balance" yellow circle.
Dinner was a celebration of Kiki's birthday and of all of us surviving 2012 (sorry, Mayans).  Kiki not only had to deal with the impending apocalypse, but she kicked cancer's ass all over the place this year.  And I have to say, she did it with style, grace, and wit.  I'm in awe of how positive she was, that she refused to have a pity party for herself, and that she kept a "business as usual" attitude.  A very, very happy birthday to you, my friend!
And many moooooooooooore!

Kiki's husband Rob was in charge of watching me.  And since Rob is a big dude that could crush me with his thumb, I stayed on track with my healthy eating.  I had three glasses of unsweetened tea and a glass of water.  For dinner I had a chicken soft taco, 12ish tortilla chips with salsa, a side of fruit, and a salad with a suggestion of dressing.  Props to Uncle Julio's for letting me order a single taco and fruit off the kids menu.  Total: 12 points

Dessert was a glass of skim milk and four tootsie rolls.  Total: 3 points

Liquids: 8/6
Dairy: 2/2
Vitamin: 1/1
Healthy Oil: 1/2
Fruits/Veggies:6/5
Protein: 2/2
Whole Grains: yes, tortilla chips
Exercise: yes, wii fit
Total: 23/26 points
Weekly Points: 12/49 for the week

We'll give the day a windy Duchess Kate.  This is what my hair was doing all day too.

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
