Workout Wednesday, August 12th

While everyday is not the best day, I can honestly say that I am feeling the changes that are coming. Even though my sweet husband didn't feel like going to the Rec Center, my DS15 said he would go with me. It is always better for me when I have someone holding me accountable. It is a process for sure. I want to make sure that I have lunch and snacks prepared so I can make it work for my day. Tomorrow will be a little longer tomorrow because I have weigh in.

Tonight DH and I went to the Rec Center and rode the recumbent bike for 30 minutes. My legs have been trying to cramp up so I decided to do something different. I'm just proud of the steps I'm taking to get me healthy. Lunch is fixed for tomorrow but I do still have to do my yogurt and such and probably and extra snack so I know I've got enough to get me through until I can get home and have dinner.

Unfortunately, I've got a bad case of the "I don't want to's" since my kitchen was a disaster when I got home and I won't cook (or in my case, put together) a meal in a dirty kitchen. But my choices are to do it tonight or in the morning or pick something else for dinner...I may just have to suck it up and do it tonight. Oh well! At least progress is being made and I am the one that is making the choice. Off to finish the necessities and get ready for bed! Have a great evening!

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!

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.
