Day 118

I did yoga and wii fit cardio today, with two glasses of water.  I still hate my wii fit yoga instructor, and I still need a name for her.
What should I name you?  Gennifer?  Stephanie? Jillian?  Claire?  Ingrid?  Kim Kardashian?  Sarah, Duchess of York?
Breakfast was sleeping.  Hooray for four day weekends!  Although I slept in because I woke up at 3 a.m. feeling beh. :(  At least I didn't have to go to work.

 Chris made turkey chili with beans (Andrew--double protein!) for lunch, so I had a cup of that, five whole grain crackers, and two glasses of water.  Dessert was four tootsie rolls.  Total: 8 points
Oh chili, I heart you.
Snack was leftover caprese salad with lots of tomatoes, an ounce and a half of mozzarella (Andrew--protein!), olive oil and homemade skinny pesto.  Also, I hope you people like my self-congratulatory mentions of homemade pesto, because I have lots of caprese salad leftovers.  Total: 5 points
Did I mention that I MADE MY OWN PESTO?!
Dinner was Chipotle.  I had two thirds of a burrito bowl with brown rice, barbacoa (Andrew--protein!), black beans (Andrew--protein!), three types of salsa, and I added my own fat free sour cream (Andrew--protein!), plus eight tortilla chips and four glasses of water.  Dessert was six ounces of blueberries.  Total: 13 points
I like to hold my blueberries like this before I eat them.
And speaking of Andrew Protein, what has he been up to?  Well, here's what he was doing on Black Friday.  Yup, that's Hawaii.  Where he lives.  Let's hate him a little.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate.  Okay, just kidding, man.

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: ...
