Tuesday Talk, May 7th

Happy Tuesday friends!  I hope you had a motivating Monday and are looking forward to a terrific Tuesday!  I will be honest, with me not feeling 100 %, I was a little frustrated with my eating yesterday.  I think I am struggling mentally because I wasn't able to eat for most of last week.  Today will be better though!  I am determined that it will be.  Let's talk for a minute about protein and why it is beneficial to your weight loss efforts.  I know growing up that my dad was a meat and potatoes guy.  Mom made so many meals based around meat.  I am not saying that's a bad thing, but now that my daughter has decided she wants to be vegetarian, I'm realizing that, like my Mom, I focus a LOT on meat.  This is definitely going to be an adjustment process for sure.  I feel like I'm making the same things over and over again, but I'm trying.  This week I'm going to try to add a meal I haven't made before, but I'm hoping everyone will enjoy it.  I am trying to do more with beans, but would like to try to do more with lentils.  I have found that when I eat eggs for breakfast that I feel more satisfied than when I something like cereal.  I know I stay fuller longer with some good sources of protein.  Prior to this recent decision, we were really eating a lot of ground beef and a lot of chicken.  I think once I can find my footing, I'll be able to navigate this change a little better.  What sources of protein are your favorites?  What sources do you use most? Have a terrific Tuesday!

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...

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.
