What's Up Wednesday, July 11th

After my visit to the cardiologist and reading his notes, I am not okay.  It is really becoming clear to me that my health is in my hands.  I am the one that can change what I eat and drink.  I have been doing far better with what I have been eating.  I have been staying within my Weight Watchers points for the most part and getting my 'blue dots", but sometimes that alone is not enough.  I think that now is the time for me to refocus.  

 Also, to add to everything else, I was talking with some other people on FB about how many different schools of thought that there were on eating and nutrition.  Shortly after that conversation, my sweet husband and I headed to Half Price Books after an unplanned date night.  There were no fewer than 3 tall shelves of books on diet and nutrition.  Seriously?  No wonder people are confused!  I am confused,but I am trying to focus on eating more plant based foods and less processed foods and good quality meat when I have it.  Am I going down the right path?  I honestly don't know, but I just have to keep praying for guidance.

 There are so many books, blogs, articles, information, etc. out there and available that it can get really confusing.  I just hope that what I am doing is the right direction for me and my health.

    I have had a few doctor visits lately that have left me feeling the same way: enough is enough! Time to do something about this. It's about a lot more than being thin and looking good now. It's about my health, more than it ever was.

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...
