Thursday Thoughts, May 9th

Happy Thursday a/k/a Friday eve, friends!  I hope everyone is having a great week so far.  We're inching our way to the weekend!  Something happened last week, in fact, one week ago today that gave me some food for thought.  I don't know about the rest of you, but I have struggled with self confidence for a number of years.  After seeing my chiropractor last week, I mentioned that I felt like I needed to redo my hair, when I heard the response, yeah because you look like a hot mess.  I was heading out after work to go to a Women's Conference, which was amazing, by the way, and as I was going by myself and meeting others there, I was a little hesitant.  I had a migraine the night before and didn't make it to church, so in the back of my mind, I was thinking about the possibility of being judged or not being worthy or enough.  Do any of you struggle with self doubt and self confidence too?  No?  Just me?  Fear is often part of my vocabulary.  Fear of change being a big one for me.  I struggle with that more than I would like to admit.  I feel "less than" in several areas of my life.  I'm still working on them and on myself, but sometimes it's so easy for me to fall back into that "not good enough" or "not worthy" mentality when that is definitely not where God wants me to be.  I am glad that I pushed through and went to service on Thursday night and didn't let that comment and my feelings run away with me because I was so blessed by the service on Thursday and hearing the Word that was shared with each of the ladies present.  It is always such a great time of fellowship and this year was no different.  The self doubt is definitely one of those not great things that I feel I need to work on about myself.  Hope you have a great one!

    When I feel in control, when I am eating according to my plan, and working out, I have a lot of confidence. When I am struggling, like I am now, it affects how I feel about everything about myself! I have zero confidence right now and would really like to get it back. I'm glad you didn't let that comment or your lack of confidence that evening stop you from enjoying the conference.

    I think all of us have moments of self-doubt. I am sharing here - mostly I feel like others have more friends or more "going on" in their lives than I do. I too have to work on thinking positive thoughts.

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.
