Day 202

Breakfast was a cup of hash browns made with a teaspoon of olive oil, a hard-boiled egg, and a whole grain Eggo waffle with sugar-free syrup.  Plus two glasses of water.  Total: 8 points
I like waffles, but this is a little extreme.
Exercise was 20 minutes of walking in poor air quality, followed by two glasses of water.
It ain't easy being wheezy.
For lunch I made Skinnytaste Chicken and White Bean Enchiladas with creamy salsa verde.  It's lots of work but it's yummy!  I also had a salad with olive oil and another glass of water.  Total: 6 points

 Snack was a cup of watermelon, some chips and salsa, and another cup of water.  Total: 3 points

 Then I went to the grocery store hungry, but still stuck to the list except for getting ice cream and whole wheat pita for hummus and beer.
Seriously, you should check out The Oatmeal, because everything he writes is awesome.
Once home, I considered eating all of the ice cream, and then all of the hummus, and then drinking all of the beer, but I tricked myself in to eating a cup of tomatoes, a cup of mushrooms, and a half cup of sugar snap peas, all with ranch dip made with fat free sour cream.  Total: 3 points
I'll just have a little snack...
Dinner was a cup of chili (use half the meet and substitute chicken, double the salsa), ten whole grain crackers, a cup of milk and two cups of water.  Total: 10 points

 In Summary:
Track all the things? yes
Do all the cardio? yes
Drink all the water? yes
Liquids: 9/6
Dairy: 3/2 
Vitamin: 1/1
Healthy Oil: 2/2
Fruits/Veggies: 13/5 (damn.)

Whole Grains: yes, whole grain waffle, whole grain tortilla, tortilla chips, whole grain crackers
Exercise: yes, 20 minutes of walking
Total: 26/26 points
Weekly Points: 9/49 for the week

Therefore we'll give it a Kate, looking all summery and whatnot.

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
