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.

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...

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.
