Finding ME Friday, January 29th

Happy Friday all! I hope everyone has had a great week! I am a little late getting this written and posted, but I wanted to check in and let you know how weigh in went. I lost the 0.8 that I had gained so I am, again, at 199. I am glad about that. However, I know that I know that there is more that I can do and need to do. I am feeling positive about what I have done to this point. Today, however, I decided to focus on what I can do. I did a search on YouTube for 10 minute shadow boxing workouts. I picked one and did it, modifying where necessary since I can’t really do much jumping around right now. I also did a couple of 10 minute walks that I found on YouTube as well. I am hoping to add that or some upper body workout in at least twice a week. I also picked up some paper trackers because while I generally track online, I don’t get online much on the weekend and wind up not tracking. This needs to change.

I have plans tomorrow morning so I’m going to have to work my meal planning around that. I know I can do it and am thinking that I may start some of that tonight. I know what I need to do; I just need to make it happen.

Oh! I am feeling pretty positive that I hit my step goal Monday through Thursday and am almost there today, so that will be 5 days in a row! All those stars on my calendar!! Yes, I know it sounds a bit funny, but it gives me feedback! Happy Friday friends! Have a great weekend!

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!

Meal Plan (with a little prep and planning) Monday, May 5, 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.

Monday: Homemade Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Mac Tuesday: Barbacoa tacos Wednesday: Mississippi Chicken, mashed potatoes and a vegetable Thursday: Spaghetti with salad and garlic knots Friday: Easy Chicken Parmesan Saturdays and Sundays, we normally have breakfast in and do carryout for lunch or dinner. Exercise wise, I will continue with my plan from last week, which was to do two workouts using my pedals, at least 10 minutes each) on Monday-Wednesday-Friday. I did this las...
