Day 185 & 186

Day 7 of Conga Lessons (convalescence)...

 Lunch was chicken and noodles, plus a cup of pineapple (from my fruit basket), and two cups of water.  Total: 5 points

 I actually felt well enough to go out to dinner!  And Ford's Fish Shack didn't have a wait!  It's a surgery miracle!  
This is one of the pictures that comes up when you do a google image search for "miracles happen."
Yeah, I don't know either.

 So dinner was a corn muffin, a salad, angry mussels, and half of a slice of blueberry pie.  Plus two glasses of iced tea, and a glass of wine (I know!) since I didn't need any Vicodin that day.  Total: 19 points

Well, that was a disaster.  I was under in points, but nutritionally, I mostly ate sugar.
Camilla thinks it is funny.
Conga Lessons Day 8...

 Monday lunch was a cup of chicken and noodles (the last one--so sad!) and four glasses of water.  Total: 5 points

 Then I made some Skinnytaste crockpot applesauce with all of the apples I got in the fruit basket from work.  I don't even use the brown sugar anymore--as long as there aren't too many green apples in the mix, it isn't needed.

 Dinner was a turkey taco in a whole grain tortilla, half a cup of fat free refried beans, a cup of tomatoes with a teaspoon of olive oil, and two more glasses of water.  Total: 6 points

 Dessert was a slice of Skinnytaste banana nut bread and two glasses of milk.  Total: 8 points

I was going to stay up and have some more fruits/veggies, but I thought "I'm tired and not hungry, and that doesn't make any sense."  So I went to bed.

 Not perfect, but better than the day before.  We'll give it a Queen Lilibet, wearing ALL THE AQUAMARINES!

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 ...
