Friday Focus, March 8th

Happy Friday friends!  This week, overall, has been a good one.  I have been accountable for a lot of my food this week by posting on Instagram, but even more than that, I have been tracking.  I've been consistently hitting my step goal this week and drinking 120 oz of water.  I only got one 5 minute workout in this week, but it's better than weeks past. Quite honestly, I've been struggling with my breathing this week and I'm not quite sure why.  I've been to the doctor a couple of times in the last couple of weeks and my oxygen level is good (like 99 and 98, respectively).  

 Things I'm proud of this week?  Unlike many of my fellow Weight Watcher members, I do not do fat free and sugar free stuff.  I have still been craving some sweets like a crazy person.  So this week, I cut myself a banana and had weighed out 1 serving of Hershey's Simply 5 (I think that's what it is) Chocolate Syrup.  It was a tasty afternoon snack that curbed my sweet craving!  Also, drinking 120 oz of water some days has been a little tougher, but I've made it happen.  

 Goals for next week:

 - Continue tracking;
- Hitting my step goal; and 
- Try to get in a 5 or 10 minute workout at least 2 days next week, depending on my breathing.

 What are your goals for the coming week?  What are you non-scale victories for the past week? 

 Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

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.
