Day 117

Yesterday was weigh-in day, and I'm up 2.2 pounds, with 22.2 now to lose.  EFF!  A disaster of this magnitude can only be represented by the following:
I can't decide what is worse: their hairstyles, Camilla's safari coat, or Anne's glasses.  Or Anne's shirt. Or Anne's multiple scarves.  Dear God, Anne, get it together!
Breakfast was with Chris and his dad, and included a cup and a half of potatoes, grilled tomatoes, fruit, a hard boiled egg, and a piece of whole wheat toast with a teaspoon of jam.  Also two glasses of unsweetened tea.  Sooo tasty for $8.  Thanks, Eggspectation!  Total: 10 points
Hooray for non-meat protein!
Snacky time was a slice of weight-watchers friendly pumpkin pie with a tablespoon of fat free Cool Hwhip and a glass of water.  Total: 3 points
Why do you say it like that?  Cool Hwhip?
My pumpkin pie recipe is SO easy and will seriously take you five minutes to throw together before you pop it in the oven.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, lightly beat one egg. Stir in 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon ginger and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Add a 15 oz can of pumpkin and 3/4 cup fat free evaporated milk. Stir until well combined. Pour into a 9 inch unbaked pie shell.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F and bake until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool for 1 hour before serving.
Pumpkin pie with Cool Hwhip!
Dinner was three ounces of chicken and a caprese salad with some easy four ingredient homemade pesto, which I made using only half the oil and it was still awesome.  And now my hands smell all basil-y and delicious!  Also three glasses of water.  Total: 8 points


Exercise was a half hour of wii fit and weight lifting and two glasses of water.  I have decided I need a name for my wii fit yoga trainer even though I hate her.  Suggestions?
What should I call you?  Anne?  Camilla?  Lilibet?
Snack was a few cups of tomatoes with ranch made with fat free sour cream, and four tootsie rolls.  Total: 3 points

Liquids: 8/6
Dairy: 2/2
Vitamin: 1/1
Healthy Oil: 2/2
Fruits/Veggies: 9/5
Protein: 4/2
Whole Grains: yes, whole wheat toast

Total: 24/26 points

For today's excellent exercising, I think I deserve some props from you people.
Just kidding.  I'm aware that my exercising was awesome.

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 ...
