Day 132

Breakfast was a tangerine, a cup of water, and some systems configuration.  Thrilling, I know.  Total: 0 points

Lunch was with coworkers Kathy and Jason, and Jason's three year old Ben.  We discussed important topics like penguins, puppet shows, and macaroni & cheese.  
And then the nurse said to the duck "don't fill up on bread!"

 We ate at Logan's, and I seriously wanted to eat all the rolls, then order a swimming pool sized sweet tea, and a vat of potato soup.  But instead I had a baked potato with sour cream, and a salad with a suggestion of dressing, as well as a cup of iced (unsweetened) tea.  Dessert was 12 chocolate chips and a glass of water.  Total: 7 points
"Hi, I'd like about four pitchers of sweet tea, please."

 Before heading off to Christmas with Chris' dad, I was starving.  I passed over the ham sammich and instead had five whole grain crackers and a glass of milk.  Total: 3 points

During dinner, I once again passed on the bread basket.  Instead I had hummus with lots of veggies, shrimp with rice, a bite of key lime pie, three glasses of iced tea, and a cup of hot tea with sugar.  Total: 16 points  And Chris' dad got me some really nice long sleeved yoga shirts so I won't freeze doing yoga in the winter! :)
RUN:Swiftly Tech LS
Yay for yoga gear!
I got to debut one of them while doing a half hour of wii fit yoga and cardio.  I guess my usual girl instructor had enough of my complaining about her, so the guy instructor was filling in.  I shall name him Garrison, after my nemesis, Garrison Keillor.  I'd like to give myself a pat on the back for exercising even though my fabulous friend anemia makes me want to curl up in a ball and go to sleep.
Shut up, Garrison.

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 ...
