Looking Back at the Month of January and the beginning of February...

I have been up and down in the last month-ish.  I haven't let go of my goal of losing 52 pounds this year.  I've lost 1.6 pounds so far this year.  If I continue to lose about 1.2 pounds each week for the remainder of the year then I should still be at my goal by January 1, 2013.

I now know what is going on with my shoulder which is definitely something!  I have adhesive capsulitis also known as frozen shoulder.  It has gotten me down recently.  Between the shoulder pain and the not feeling so good for the last couple of weeks.  I have been focusing on what I can't do instead of what I can do.  If I want to hit my goal, it's time to quit feeling sorry for myself that I can't do like yoga and focus on the things that I can.  I can still walk, I can still go do Zumba just minus the arm movements, I can still dance, etc.

I can do this.  One day at a time.  I am worth this.  I am worth the time and the effort to get this done.  I am worth the time it takes to track and to get up early and walk, etc.  I am worth taking care of myself.

What's Cooking Wednesday, May 7, 2025

I hesitate to even call this a recipe.  I have been making this super easy, but versatile recipe for years.  My ex-grandmother-in-law made hers spicier, but for my young one (at the time I started making this) wasn't a fan of spicy foods.  So I created a cheeseburger variety of the meat pie.  It's simply Grands biscuits, hamburger meat and cheese.  I believe she used the standard biscuit, but I have been using Grands for years.  You can absolutely change this up to use different ingredients, but it's a family favorite so I haven't changed it much.  I may do a different variety soon to bring to you!   You can watch the video here:  YouTube

 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.
