See you September! 09/30/2017

Hi all.  I hope everyone is well.  I can't say that September went quite the way I had planned.  I was doing so well going into September and then I got rear-ended.  I was stopped at a red light and she hit me.  I know she didn't mean to and accidents happen, but it sure did through a wrench in my plans for the month.  So basically no workouts since I was hit, but did get released from my chiropractor to resume my walking workout dvds.  He said I needed to listen to my body but he thought I was doing well enough to resume my workouts.  No Yoga or Pilates or strength training, but I can do my walking workouts unless it is too much.  So, Hello October!   

 I started the month at 195.6 (my weigh in on 09/02/201) and my weigh in today was 194.8.  For the month, I am down 0.2.  

 Here's the other side of October for me.  This is the anniversary month of losing my Momma.  I am trying to focus on the positives.  I have some amazing memories of my Momma.  Some I have shared and some I have not, but I am so very thankful for the time that I had with my Momma.  Also this month, my son celebrates his 27th birthday, as does my daughter-in-law.  I am trying to remind myself just how blessed I am.  I have 3 fantastic children and a wonderful husband...and I forgot to mention my beautiful daughter-in-law.  Sometimes, I can only take things one day at a time.  

 Goals for the weeks?  Track and my walking workout dvds.

    Glad you are okay after being rear-ended. Sounds like October is a bit of a tough month. Taking it one day at a time sounds like a good idea, and remembering those good times and happy memories of your mother.

    Go slow and take care of yourself.

    Momma's and children are both such a blessing.

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...
