Finding Myself Friday, January 22nd

This course to find myself is definitely not a direct route, but it continues to move much like my weight loss journey.  I had a slight gain last night (0.8) making my current weight 199.8, but I know I did not do well with my water and all last weekend.  I’m not going to let it shake my resolve.  I know this journey is a process.  To that end, I was watching one of the videos on YouTube from Mind Over Munch talking about “Having a Healthy Relationship with Food”.   This spoke volumes to me and I realized that even when I am not at my goal weight that my habits have truly changed.  I won’t say that I never reward myself with food, but I am trying to do better about that.  I try to portion foods out or have smaller portions rather than tell myself I can’t have something.  I don’t know about you, but if I tell myself that I can’t have something, that seems to be all I want.  I don’t want to live in a world where certain foods are “off-limits” because that can stress me out.  Despite not being at my goal weight, I can definitely look back and see changes have been made.  That leads me to believe that I can make it to my goal weight because I am making lifestyle changes.  What has changed for you since you started this journey?


I know that there will be ups and downs (yes, that may include weight) in this journey, but it is definitely worth it.  I am worth it.  I have gone down the road of losing weight because I haven't eaten or eating and then taking a laxative.  I am a work in progress.

Have a happy Friday and fantastic 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!   You can watch the video here:  YouTube

Savings Saturday, May 3rd

 As we are trying to drill down on our budget and add to our savings, I decided to have a little fun with it.  We headed to Barnes & Noble and purchased 2 Word Find books, one is 365 Days of Puzzles and the other is a book of Bible Puzzles.  The 365 Puzzle book is pretty interesting in that it varies in topic.  My puzzles for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were:  Monday: Disco [Puzzle 50], I found 10 words in 6 minutes. Tuesday: Quantum Mechanics [Puzzle 192], 5 words in 4 minutes. Wednesday: Languages of Africa [Puzzle 299], 6 words in 4 minutes. So my total to go into savings for the first week: $21.00 Savings Total for this challenge: $21.00. I have decided to only do a puzzle on the weekdays, but not the weekends for this challenge.  Why?  Being honest, there are some days/some weeks, like end of the month that get a bit overwhelming.  Only doing a puzzle 5 days per week, gives me an opportunity to do one on the weekend if the ...
