Friday Focus, March 8th

Happy Friday friends! This week, overall, has been a good one. I have been accountable for a lot of my food this week by posting on Instagram, but even more than that, I have been tracking. I've been consistently hitting my step goal this week and drinking 120 oz of water. I only got one 5 minute workout in this week, but it's better than weeks past. Quite honestly, I've been struggling with my breathing this week and I'm not quite sure why. I've been to the doctor a couple of times in the last couple of weeks and my oxygen level is good (like 99 and 98, respectively).

Things I'm proud of this week? Unlike many of my fellow Weight Watcher members, I do not do fat free and sugar free stuff. I have still been craving some sweets like a crazy person. So this week, I cut myself a banana and had weighed out 1 serving of Hershey's Simply 5 (I think that's what it is) Chocolate Syrup. It was a tasty afternoon snack that curbed my sweet craving! Also, drinking 120 oz of water some days has been a little tougher, but I've made it happen.

Goals for next week:

- Continue tracking;
- Hitting my step goal; and
- Try to get in a 5 or 10 minute workout at least 2 days next week, depending on my breathing.

What are your goals for the coming week? What are you non-scale victories for the past week?

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

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!

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.
