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.

    Omg I'm sorry to hear about the accident. Glad to know he's okay and hopefully it didn't shake you up too bad. Here's to next week!

    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.

My Favorite Instant Pot Recipe is...Collab

  A big THANK YOU to Kim over at  A Girl and Her Phone  for putting together this collaboration!  This time we are doing our favorite Instant Pot recipe.  I will be honest and say that I have not made Fried Rice in the Instant Pot before but it is a family favorite!  I used this  Easy Instant Pot Hibachi Fried Rice  as my guide.  We had brown basmati rice that had already been cooked that I needed to use, as well as some shredded chicken that I had on hand.  Also, I used the veggies from a Stir Fry Teriyaki Kit but not the sauce.  This was definitely a good choice for my crew!  Looking forward to making this again!   Here's how I modified the recipe to make it work for me: Sesame oil - 1Tbsp Bragg Organic coconut liquid aminos - 3 Tbsp Unsalted butter - 1Tbsp Egg(s) - 4item(s) Stir fry vegetables without sauce - 9 cup(s) Cooked brown rice - 4 cup(s) Cooked skinless boneless chicken breast(s) - 8oz I added the sesame oil, cooked down the onions and veggies.  Then added the butter an

MyWW Purple Meal Planning Monday, November 16, 2020

  Monday already?  Well, yes, it is!  I am feeling more prepared for this week than last week!  I am on MyWW Purple. Breakfasts this week: Mom-lets with Canadian Bacon, bacon bits and a little cheese with cheesy hash browns for 2 days.  I will have 2 Mom-lets and then a serving of the hashbrowns. I will likely have oatmeal 2 days and then will probably "wing it" with an egg in a basket for a day. Lunches will likely be leftovers from dinner. Dinner plan this week is as follows, but as always is subject to change without notice. Monday: Pumpkin Soup, possibly some crescents on the side. Tuesday: Chicken Fajita Pasta (Instant Pot) Wednesday: Cheeseburger and Tot Casserole (Casserole Crock) Thursday: Chili Mac (Instant Pot) Friday: Chicken Ranch Bake with veggies I really don't have a plan for Saturday and Sunday yet.   Having a plan is going to be a big help for this week and keeping me on my plan.  How are you setting yourself up for success? Have a great week, friends!
