Focus Friday, June 28th

Happy Friday friends!  Anyone else really take a look at how they changed something in their life to help someone else and then realize that this may not be the best choice and you need to change things up for your own health?  Yep, that just happened.  My goal for the next week or so is to focus on finding myself some lower carb options for some of my favorite things.  Since my daughter decided to go meatless and our family has been trying to be supportive as a whole, I've been bringing in far more bread and pasta into our diets and it's really got to stop.  For the longest, it was really just an occasional, maybe once a week sort of thing, but now, it's getting way out of hand.  I bought some of the lower carb tortillas that I saw recommended, so I'm going to do some more research and figure out what I can do to make this work for me.  I will continue doing WW, but will definitely focus on the lower carb options.  It's going to be a little tricky, but I know I can do it.  My hope is that this will kickstart me back in the right direction.  I will be doing some more research this weekend on lower carb options.  I try not to have to make two different meals, but my health is important and I can't keep losing the same weight over and over again.  

 1. Research lower carb options.
2. Track all my food.
3. Get 5,000 steps (I know that doesn't seem like a lot right now, but I'm still dealing with back issues)
4. Journal.

 What are you going to focus on in the coming week?

    You can do it!! I love your goals for the week!!! And NEVER downplay your steps! 5k is respectable. I work a desk job and 5k is my goal and is honestly a stretch for me most days. (It requires me to walk on my 25 minute breaks AND my lunch break!)

    Pinterest is a wealth of information!! Keto is a huge buzzword now so there are tons of easily located low carb recipes everywhere. I lazy keto myself so your talking right up my alley. I have been eating a low carb wrap with ham n cheese all week with a small bag of porkrinds for lunch. (You know those large bags of single serve chips? Well Walmart has boxes of single serve Mac's porkrinds) I have yet to decide what I will focus on. It is almost July 1st to time to make some pointless statements I probably will not follow. :)

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!   You can watch the video here:  YouTube

Savings Saturday, May 3rd

 As we are trying to drill down on our budget and add to our savings, I decided to have a little fun with it.  We headed to Barnes & Noble and purchased 2 Word Find books, one is 365 Days of Puzzles and the other is a book of Bible Puzzles.  The 365 Puzzle book is pretty interesting in that it varies in topic.  My puzzles for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were:  Monday: Disco [Puzzle 50], I found 10 words in 6 minutes. Tuesday: Quantum Mechanics [Puzzle 192], 5 words in 4 minutes. Wednesday: Languages of Africa [Puzzle 299], 6 words in 4 minutes. So my total to go into savings for the first week: $21.00 Savings Total for this challenge: $21.00. I have decided to only do a puzzle on the weekdays, but not the weekends for this challenge.  Why?  Being honest, there are some days/some weeks, like end of the month that get a bit overwhelming.  Only doing a puzzle 5 days per week, gives me an opportunity to do one on the weekend if the ...
