Day 199

So, what's been happening over the past two weeks?
This.
And this.
Followed by this.
And some of this.
So after a calorie-laden existence  followed by a day of debauchery at the Renaissance Festival, Chris and I decided that okay, we really had to get back on The Shame Squad.  (In fairness, the fried macaroni was delicious.)
Mmmmmm, fat.
Lunch was a TKY from Potbelly, a cup of tomatoes, a cup of watermelon, and some whole grain goldfish, plus three glasses of water.  I also had a delicious tall light mocha and literally one bite of a coworker's birthday cake.  Total: 12 points
No, no, no.  Not this type of potbelly.  Although this one is cute.
Dinner was two tacos made with lean ground turkey, black beans, tortilla chips, tomatoes with olive oil, and four tootsie rolls for dessert.  And four glasses of water.  Total: 15 points
I need this.
Then the trainer came over and we did cardio and yoga and stuff.
And it was all majestic and whatnot!
Post workout snack was a piece of whole grain bread, a teaspoon of light butter/canola oil, and a cup of milk while watching Breaking Bad.  Total: 5 points
"Calories, bitch!"
In Summary:
Liquids: 8/6
Dairy: 2/2 
Vitamin: 1/1  
Healthy Oil: 2/2
Fruits/Veggies: 6/5
Protein: 5/2 (Andrew--protein!)
Whole Grains: yes, tortilla chips, taco shells, and goldfish
Exercise: yes, an hour with the personal trainer
Total: 26/26 points
Weekly Points: 6/49 for the week

In conclusion, it was not a K-Middy day, but it was still pretty good.  We'll give it a happy Maxima, wearing ALL THE SAPPHIRES!  And a cape!

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...

The Oscars, powered by onion dip

My hilarious friends Kelley and Christopher invited me over for the Oscars so that we could judge red carpet looks. Kelley is one of the few people in my life that makes me laugh without fail, and she blogs her adventures--and misadventures--over at The Lundscape .   Kelley warned me prior to coming over that they were more "Shame" than "Squad," so that's how we ended up with three types of dip.  This was fortuitous, though, because the dips sustained us through grueling hours of pausing and rewinding live coverage, swapping drink recipes  we learned on vacation, and discussing what award shows would be like on Middle Earth. Let's dive right in, shall we? Kelley : Janelle Monae's dress was sponsored by the Audubon society. Christopher:  This looks like "Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen meets Marie Antoinette." (It is revealed that the designer is Elie Saab.) Alyssa:  I'm pretty sure Elie Saab went on a coke bender. Kelley: ...
