Tuesday Talk, January 29th

Happy Tuesday friends!  Hope your week has started out well.  The topic for this week, much like the WW topic is Tracking.  Let's be honest, tracking can be a bit of a pain to do until you get in the swing of things.  In the past, I have tried the plans that don't require tracking, the former "Simply Filling" method, but I truly struggled with it.  I know, for my good and for my peace of mind, that I need to track using my WW app.  That's my preferred method, but I know other people that use LoseIt or MyFitnessPal and others that prefer to write it down on paper or in a notebook.    There are all sorts of different ways to track your food.  The big trick is to find one that you will actually use.  For me, I find the WW app works best.  One of the things that really makes me appreciate the app and tracking is that I can go back and look at what I ate if I've had a good week or if I had a not so good week.  It provides information to allow me to know what I may have done well that week or where I may need to improve for the coming week.  The short version is that if you are tracking, it provides feedback.  

 You may have to try various options before you find one that works for you.  Don't give up on your goals, try different ways to find something that works for you and use it.

    Tracking is most definitely one of the most important parts of losing weight. It's also one of the hardest for me to stick to! I get flighty and only log part of a day, which isn't helping much. Thanks for the reminder to get back to it!

Picnic in the Park Collab

 S’mores Protein Bites Recipe You can find the original recipe  here  from Six Sisters' Stuff.  The one below is the way I prepared it. Ingredients 1½ cups Simple Truth Old Fashioned Oats ¼ cup crushed graham cracker crumbs ½ cup Simple Truth almond butter ½ cup raw honey ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (I used Orgain Vanilla Protein Powder) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup mini marshmallows ¼ cup mini chocolate chips Instructions Combine all ingredients in a bowl or stand mixer until well combined. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet covered with foil or parchment paper. Place in the freezer for about 1 hour, then store in a resealable bag or airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (or in the freezer for up to a month). This original recipe says 15 servings.  I am not sure if I used a smaller scoop but I came out with 25 or so.  There were a couple that were smaller.

Meal Plan (and make a plan) Monday, April 27, 2025

Happy Monday, friends!  I hope you are looking forward to a good week!  It's time again to share my meal plan for the week.  I suspect breakfasts will be fend for ourselves.  Last week, I think we all ate a lot of cereal.  Lunches this week will likely be chicken salad and a pasta meal.  I, unfortunately, got hit with a round of vertigo at the end of last week that is wrecking havoc on my ability to move too much and it stinks.  I will be going back to what the allergy doctor suggested a couple of years ago...using my daily oral meds (Xyzal and Mucinex), as well as nasal rinse twice a day and nasal allergy spray.  While I know that vertigo for everyone isn't caused by the fluid in the ears, it seems to be for me most times when I've had it.  It's miserable when I can't even sit up without feeling nauseous. Anyway, for that reason, our meals for the week are going to be relatively easy and may even be repeats of meals I have had on the plan th...

What's Cookin' Wednesday: Hungry Man Cornbread

  This recipe was my Mom's recipe that she submitted to the PTA years ago when I was in elementary school.  The recipe books were mimeographed and stapled together.  Hungry Man Cornbread (original recipe from memory) : 2 packages of cornbread mix (she used Martha White), prepared according to the package. 1 pound of ground beef, browned (usually with onion) American Cheese Slices Prepare your cornbread according to the package.  Brown your ground beef with onion, if desired, and seasonings of your choosing.  Prepare a 9 X 13 inch pan.  Pour half of your cornbread mixture (or if you prepare them one at a time, put one package of cornbread mix, prepared) in the bottom of the pan.  Top with your ground beef mixture, then top the ground beef mixture with Cheese Slices.  Top all of this with the other half of your prepared cornbread mix.  Cook on 400 for about 20 to 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Hungry Man Cornbread ( Tracey's wa...
