Friday Focus, July 26th


Happy Friday friends!  How has your week gone?  Mine?  Overall, I think pretty well.  I feel like I’m making some good choices and focusing on eating within my SmartPoints and focusing on the lower carb options.  I am not sure I will have an opportunity to weigh in on the official scale this week but we’ll see what I can work out.  I am feeling very positive about what’s going on with me.  I was reminded Thursday morning of how much more accountable I feel when my husband and I are working out together.  I was really struggling to get out of bed and my sweet husband said “aren’t we going for a walk?”  UGH, I really just wanted to stay in bed and we got a later start, but walk we did.  Honestly, some days are easier than others.  At the beginning of July, I was super motivated.  Then with the back troubles, not sleeping, etc. I felt a little overwhelmed by life getting in the way.  Here’s the thing, I refuse to just give up on my journey.  My steps may be a little crooked, with some twists and turns, but here I am still moving forward.  



Focus for the coming week are:
  • Tracking;
  •  Eating more whole foods and few processed foods;
  • Following the WW plan with a low carb emphasis;
  • Keep on walking; and
  • Drinking my water!


You would think that some of these I’d already have down, but quite honestly, I still struggle with not tracking and trying to “lie” to myself.  I am a work in progress and some days are easier than others.  How’s the week gone for you?  What’s going to be your focus for the coming week?

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.
