Try It Tuesday, October 23rd

Happy Tuesday, friends!  One part of this journey is learning how to live life without feeling like you are deprived.  We had a wonderful event yesterday with much food!  I could not eat everything and found it difficult to track everything because there wasn't really anything that appeared to be the same.  I did the best I could.  I am a work in progress.  My sweet husband bought an air fryer so that we could make Poutine for an event at church.  Why Poutine?  He's from Canada and our event yesterday was for All Nations Sunday.  I got a suggestion from my mother-in-law for a dessert bar, which was really good.  I made nanaimo bars as a second option for our potluck with church.  They turned out well and were enjoyed by many of my church family.  

 Here is something that I've figured out for myself.  I can go really hard with this plan, working out daily or multiple times per day, eating fat free or the zero point foods, I could be so much closer to goal in just a matter of months.  This time, however, I want to make sure that I can manage this for a lifetime.  In order to make that happen, I'm willing to take things slow so that I can learn the skills necessary to make this work for me for a lifetime.  I've been with WW for a number of years, longer than I would care to admit.  During that time, there have been numerous changes.  I haven't always been keen on the changes that were made, but I truly believe that these most recent changes are for the best.  Right, wrong or indifferent, I will continue doing WW because it has worked for me and is working for me now.  There are so many options, but not all of them are the right choices for me.  

 I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!  If you try the nanaimo bars, let me know how you like them! :-)

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...
