January 6th

The day started off with an e-mail from the company President letting us know that we were delayed 2 hours.  Good job, TML President.  You did better than Loudoun, Prince William, or Fairfax County Schools.

That also meant that I had time for breakfast and exercise since I was already up!

Then I enjoyed my hour plus drive to work.  No, I'm not being sarcastic.  I knew it was gonna be long, so I brought coffee (100 calories) and Justin Timberlake.  We had an enjoyable morning singing his best hits and watching the snow fall over the Battlefield.
I agree John Steinbeck.  But I'm still gonna go to California this month.
You know, where it's warm.
And what does HR Lady wear on a day with inclement weather?  Behold, what I like to call "Snowday Chic."
I feel like Johnny Weir would be proud.
Breakfast
  • Mini omelette with cheese (100)
  • Grapes (60)
  • Green tea with honey (30)
  • 2 glasses of water
Lunch
  • Chicken Eugene (310)
  • Brown Rice (160)
  • Half an apple (50)
  • Green tea, no sweetener
  • 2 glasses of water
Dinner

  • Seven layer dip (six layer dip?) with fat free refried beans, light sour cream, 2% cheese, green onions, cilantro, and tomatoes (260)
  • 20 tortilla chips (240)
  • Pumpkin square for dessert (65)
  • 2 glasses of water

Exercise

  • 30 minutes on the bike
  • 150 crunches (regular, reverse, bicycle)
Total: 1115 vs. 1400 calories

In conclusion, we would give today a Kate, but I want your opinion on this crazy dress that Princess Mary wore.  It looks so...Disney?  Is she pranking us?  Anyway, good for her.  I like it.

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 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: ...

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...
