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?

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.

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...
