Finding Myself Friday: Feb. 12th

Here’s my Friday update: I am down 0.8 lbs. this week.  While it may not be as much of a loss as some, it is still a loss AND the even more important thing for me this week is that I tracked every meal every day!  I am proud of that fact.  I am, however, pondering changing my strength training goals for the moment.  I was reminded this week that I need to have a little bit of wiggle room in the event of an emergency.  My DS15 ran into a car while riding his bike and that was a scary situation, but we wound up spending a fair bit of time in the ER and I had such a headache when it was over.  I do not want to set myself up for feeling like a failure.  At the present, I think I may adjust it for 2 times per week and continuing to hit my step goal, which is still changing from week to week.   I know I need to focus a little more on my food intake in the coming week.   At present, I am 7.6 pounds down from my highest weight.   I am not sure how the meal plan will work for next week, but it will be okay.  I have Monday off so there will definitely be a chance to get in a workout and get some meals prepped.

    Great job losing 0.8 pound! And so glad he is okay after the bike accident. I imagine that was very stressful, so great job not turning it into emotional eating.

Trials of a Long Haired Girl tries...a Vintage Recipe...Peanut Butter Bread

Image
  From my 1914 Recipe book:   This recipe is handwritten.  Although, not all of the recipes are and it appears that some are from a later time period (1934, specifically) and are cut from the newspaper.   As I began to type out this recipe, I realized that she only listed the ingredients, nothing more.  No instructions on how to combine or what temperature to bake it on and for how long.  So, I winged it.   Peanut Butter Bread   2 cups Flour 1 teaspoon Baking Powder 1 teaspoon Salt 1/2 cup Sugar (or less) 1/2 cup Peanut Butter 2 Large Eggs Milk to make stiff batter (about 1/2 cup)   Directions: 1.        Preheat oven 350 degrees. 2.        Grease loaf pan and set aside. 3.        Combine Dry ingredients (flour, baking powder salt, sugar). 4.        Beat your eggs and add them to your dry ingredients. 5.        Add your peanut butter. 6.        Mix together. 7.        Then add your milk approximately 1 tablespoon at a time until you get a stiff batter. 8.

What's Cookin Wednesday, November 18, 2020: Mississippi Chicken, Slow Cooker Version

  Happy Wednesday friends!  We tried a new recipe a few weeks ago and liked it enough to add it to our meal planning rotation.  I wanted to share it with you.  Sometimes we have to tweak things to make it a little more WW friendly. 2 oz/2 Tbsp of KerryGold Butter 4 Pepperoncinis peppers with about a Tbsp of the juice 1 oz of McCormick's ranch dressing seasoning  1 packet Chicken gravy mix packet 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast 1/2 cup water 1. Place all the ingredient in your slow cooker 2. Cook on low for 8 hours. 3. Remove and shred chicken. We had it with some steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes made with Fat Free Greek Yogurt.  We all enjoyed this greatly and ate leftovers until they were gone!  I hope you enjoy as much as we did!  I used this recipe as my guide .  This can be done in the InstantPot as well, but we've done it in the Crock-Pot.  Although she says it isn't necessary to add the water, because I didn't add all the juice, I added the water.
