Shut UP, Kanye.
Breakfast was three sausage balls and a clementine.  Total: 2 points

Lunch was two Stacked Tostadas, recipe courtesy of Emily Bites.  Total: 7 points
Actual photo of tostadas I made!  I feel so fancy!
After that I did 25 minutes of physical therapy/resistance exercises, which I followed up with a glass of milk (for me) and a frozen bag of peas (for my glutes).  Then I tried a new recipe for a yogurts and peanut butter dip, and had it with a half apple and a half banana.  Chris did not like it.  I LOVED it.  More for me. Total: 4 points
Eat this! It will change your life! Healthy! *Creamy Peanut Butter Dip* -one 5.3 ounce container of nonfat oikos greek vanilla yogurt -2 tbsp peanut butter - 1/2 tbsp honey -1/8 teaspoon cinnamon Makes four 2 tbsp servings (66 cals) Serve with bananas or apples
One 5.3 ounce container of vanilla Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons PB, a half tablespoon honey, an eighth teaspoon of cinnamon.  Recipe here.  But I just told you the recipe!
Dinner was a chicken hot dog on a whole grain bun, a serving of homemade baked sweet potato fries, and some red cabbage cole slaw (red cabbage, cilantro, green onions, olive oil, fresh squeezed lime).  And THAT, my friends, is how you do hot dogs, fries, and cole slaw for a total of 9 points.  (An order of McDonald's medium fries is 11 points, just for comparison.)
Awwww, yiss.

 Post-dinner workout was 31 minutes (but who is counting) on the wii fit, doing cardio and yoga. Also, I just today figured out that the thing that tracks your calories and time is a piggy bank.  Some days I'm just not a smart girl.
Duh.
For a post-workout snack I had a half an apple with just a little bit of yogurt peanut butter dip and another glass of milk.    Total: 3 points

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
