Say So Saturday, July 22nd

This morning my sweet husband and I got up and then he took me to check in with Weight Watchers.  I was down 1 pound this week making me 197.0.  While that may not seem like a lot, I've recently kicked up my steps again and I have been really trying to make a point to track, at least during the week.  I feel good about my choices this week, including the cupcake that I had yesterday afternoon for my boss' birthday.  Really, this journey is all about learning how to navigate life.  There are going to be birthdays, graduations and other celebrations, these are not going to stop because you are on a weight loss journey.  I am learning to look at things differently and figure out how to navigate and make the choices that are best for me.  I have made the decision to cut back on the sugar.  No, I haven't given up on my creamer and such, but those extra sugars...I'm trying to steer clear.  I also want to move in the direction of using honey and maple syrup as my sweeteners, but I know it's going to be a process.  After not really having much sugar for the last week or so, I have realized that not even the Trader Joe's mini peanut butter cups were too sweet for me.  One step at a time, right?  Hope everyone has a fantastic Saturday!

    Cutting back on the sugar is hard. I haven't given up my creamer either LOL.

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 ...
