MyWW Purple Plan Weigh in and Check In

Happy Saturday friends! It is time again for weigh in!  To be honest, after all the Christmas eating and such, I wasn't sure I wanted to weigh in, but I committed to do it so I got up and went to my WW Studio.  Apparently listening to my body helped a lot this year!  I was down 2.2 lbs!  I am a bit in shock because I did indulge on some candy and desserts and some bread, but for the most part, I listened to my body and when I was full, I handed the plate off.  This is a big thing for me.  As of almost a year ago today, I was 182.4.  As of today, I am down to 171.2.  I have lost 11.2 pounds this year.  I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but considering everyday was not an OP day and I did indulge here and there, living life and enjoying some ice cream and desserts, I will not complain.  This means I am almost halfway to my goal weight of 135.  I am at my lowest weight during my married life.  My mindset is changing which is a good thing.  I'm still eating certain things like butter, etc. and I am not starving or eating lots of processed foods, which is also a positive.  I am under construction and am a work in progress.  Finding ways to make this plan work for me is huge and I'm proud of my efforts!  Looking forward to conquer some things in 2020!

  1. FANTASTIC!!!! I have that ONLY word as well but I know we both shouldn't. Any loss is a loss and over 10 is fantastic!!! A lot of people gain over the year but due to mind full eating most of the time you have a loss.

  2. That's wonderful! Eleven pounds for the year is actually great: that's almost one pound for every month of the year. I finally feel like my mindset is changing too, so I am hopeful for 2020.

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.
