FEEL GOOD FRIDAY, February 17th


I will again apologize for not checking in last week. When I went to weigh in, I was down a pound making me 196.  My eating was not 100% this week, I was in the negative on my Weeklies and hadn't walked as much as I normally do.  I decided not to go to weigh in last night as I wasn't feeling well.  To make sure that I didn't go too far astray or blindly not make changes because I didn't go to my official weigh in, I stepped on my scale last night.  My scale said I was up a little over 2 pounds.  I figured I'd be up, so it was not unexpected.

I have been visiting the chiropractor recently so I'm hoping that I will be back up to 10,000 steps a day soon.  I generally only really focus on hitting that goal during the weekdays.  I hope to get to the gym/Rec Center soon, and perhaps even as early as this weekend.    I will see how I feel after all of the things we have going on.  I have Monday off so I'm hoping to get a few things done. 

We're not able to do the monthly Costco trip until after we get paid again, so we're going to try to make due with what we have.  I am thinking that we'll be doing some beans and cornbread, soups and no meat options again in the coming week.  I just want to make sure that we are prepared and have some good food this week.  I've also started reading 100 Day of Real Food Fast and Fabulous.  Focusing a little more on those less processed foods will be nothing but good for us in the long run.  

What are my goal for the coming week?  

Continue with tracking everything.
Try to hit 10,000 steps each weekday or at least doing what I can.
Make some good choices and prepare good food for my family

What are your goals for the week?

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 ...
