Day 139

Calf update: the verdict is that it is indeed a low grade 2 strain, which means a trip to CVS for some delicious prescription muscle relaxers, continuation of the compression tape, and an initial two week round of physical therapy.

 I feel like Kerri Walsh with my compression tape!  Maybe I'll start wearing a bikini!

Breakfast was a banana and two glasses of water.  Total: 0 points
I feel like bananas would write in Comic Sans if they could write.

Lunch was a cup of Brunswick Stew, four whole wheat crackers, a pear, and a cup of milk.  And four tootsie rolls for dessert!  Total: 9 points

 Dinner was two ounces of ham, a third of a cup of broccoli cheesy rice made with brown rice, a salad with roasted tomatoes and two teaspoons of olive oil.  Plus a cup of milk, a glass of water, and 10 M&Ms.  Total: 9 points
I have been trying to give my calf more protein (including milk) to help it.
Thanks for the inspiration, dairy farmers!
For exercise, I did 20+ minutes of wii fit, focusing on my core and arms, and then some yoga.  I also had another glass of water.
Uuugh, you again.

In honor of a healthy day and the New Year, here's Kate with the bubbly.
"My new year's resolution is to be even more fabulous this year!  If that's even possible."

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...

The Olympic Outfits of Johnny Weir, rated

The Verner girls are back, 4 years later, to discuss the outfits of Johnny Weir. (And the crowd goes wild!) Since writing about his Sochi wardrobe , it has been one of my top posts of all time. Other highly rated posts include a post about the palaces of Hawaii , how to pack for vacation , a Pampered Chef cheesy pasta recipe , and Meghan Markle tiara predictions . You guys are an eclectic group. Speaking of eclectic, let's talk about Johnny's overall look. First, let me start off by saying that yes, I know that Johnny looks like a cross between the Hunger Games, Pee Wee Herman, and Colonel Sanders. So obviously, I've seen that one post on Twitter about it. And that meme on Facebook. And that thread on Reddit. Johnny is not one for subtlety. One year he said he was going to go with a "not-so-literal" interpretation for his Kentucky Derby hat, and he then literally wore a crown of roses and a mint julep on his head. Basically, Johnny would not know subtl...

Baseline

Oooh look, I came back!  It's time for our first update on how "New Year, Old Me" is going. This week was pretty much documenting a baseline where I logged what I ate (for science!  Okay, not really--for pattern identification!), did a lot of stretching because my piriformis, psoas, and QL muscles are jacked, and tried to identify some changes I could make. Let's get right to... What I'm eating 'Tis the season for leftovers!  We try ( try  being the intent here) to minimize our food waste by keeping a running list of things we need to use up on the fridge.  And this week we actually made it through everything except the coleslaw and the applesauce (the coleslaw went to a landfill, while the applesauce lives to fight another day). My, my.  What pretty handwriting. Leftovers never sounded so lovely. I had some leftover ham from Christmas, Observed  on the 30th with my parents, and then some leftover fresh broccoli from a veggie tray my SIL made for ...
