Happy birthday Bella!!!!! And Connie, continue to get some rest and take care of yourself. What you are dealing with sounds miserable so feel better soon. I am just trying to get through the day. I did something to my back a few days ago. Yesterday my pain level was pretty high. Today it does feel better, but still…

I do salads quite often for lunch (and less often for dinner), but I don't have recipes per say. This week's is simple: Romaine Grape tomatoes Mini cucumbers (less seeds so I prefer them) Bell Pepper Red Onion Chicken Blue Cheese Dressing (whatever I feel like that day... yesterday I had Bolthouse Farms ranch, today I am…

I had lion's mane mushrooms for the first time last night. Really good. Especially sauteed with some teriyaki sauce. The flavor of the mushrooms with the sauce worked amazing together.

So I am still obsessed with my hibachi rice bowls. Made them again last night and will have leftovers tonight (getting my hair cut and colored after work). I did chicken breast, shrimp, sweet carrots, lions mane mushrooms (which were amazing in the teriyaki sauce), and onions over rice. Then put way too much yum yum sauce…

Whelp... gonna give calorie counting another try this week over Weight Watchers. I realized I am often under eating by quite a bit with the point system. I also think that while the point system really pushes fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins it really demonizes other stuff like bread or even the occasional treat. So…

I am not weighing this weekend. I have been too fatigued to do much of anything, much less work out and cook. Been going to be about 8:30pm and sleeping through to my alarms. Just been eating whatever I crave, which is bad for my health and for my wallet. Thinking next week I just need to keep meals super simple with no…

*gentle hugs* to all those with injuries or illness. I am just tired. Feeling okay. Mood is okay. But I have been exhausted the last couple of days. Thinking the weekend insanity and projects may have worn me out more then I originally believed. I have been sleeping really well, but I just stay tired. My body is so…

Trying to figure out some ideas to put in a salad. Thinking next week lunches will be salads. Chicken will be my protein of choice because I will be having eggs with breakfast. I also am not a huge fan of fruit in salad.

Yesterday: Breakfast: Cinnamon roll Lunch: Rao's frozen lasagna Dinner: Burrito bowl with chicken, peppers, onions, roasted corn, rice, avocado, salsa, and sour cream Dessert: Almond croissant (my weakness) Movement: 2 walks outside for about 30…

I love fish, but I am picky about texture. Like, I enjoy Salmon, Red Snapper, Tilapia, Branzino... but I hate the texture of Cod. And I only like tuna either from a can OR raw, but not seared. Tonight I am making a burrito bowl with rice, chicken, roasted corn, peppers, onions, salsa, sour cream, and avocado.

Struggle bus day today. Yesterday was rough. I ended up having to run to Menards twice to exchange a deck box. The first time I got 9/10 of the way done only to realize that they had given me 2 front panels instead of a front and back. The second time I was taking everything else and found that the back panel had been…

I miss tofu, especially with asian style dishes. Once my IC started to get bad in 2014, I realized soy was a trigger for it. So I had to cut it all out. Now I can have a little bit since I am in remission, but I still can't handle tofu. I guess it is just too much at one time.

Been pretty motivated the last few days when it comes to moving my body. It has mostly been walking, but also did some seated dance cardio. And I 100% feel better for it. It has been helping my anxiety a lot because I am using the extra panic energy in a productive way. Super happy with it.

I am going to try and make it easy on myself so maybe I can do it. For breakfasts I will do hardboiled eggs and some sort of carb. Either fruit, yogurt, english muffins, or mini bagels. For lunches I will do either frozen meals (with extra steamed veggies) or salads. Both with a side of fruit. For dinners I will follow the…

I would love to get more into doing it this way, even just a couple weeks at a time. The getting started is the hard part. By the time the weekend comes around, I have so much to do and I am so tired. And I have no real help cause it's me and the cats. Sorry... I am just feeling really frustrated about it right now.

I am struggling with meal ideas. It's like nothing sounds good or I am just too tired to care. I used to love meal planning and cooking. Now it feels like a chore. One thing I am liking is doing bowls. This week (today actually) I am making hibachi chicken and shrimp bowls. The base will be plain rice and I will top it…

I made whole wheat spaghetti with sauce last night... but the sauce had ground beef, diced zucchini, and diced mushrooms in it. So I call it a win. This morning though I am not feeling great. Really fatigued. Sipping on a Sprite and nibbling on Cheez Its because my stomach doesn't like me. So not a healthy breakfast, but…

I am just NE of Indianapolis. Farmers Market starts Saturday actually, but it's not corn season quite yet. So will have to wait on that a bit longer. I love the weekly market. I go every Saturday if I am able to do so. The produce and meats are just amazing and I have my favorite farmers. The blackberries from the…

Summer sweet corn here in Indiana is like a religion. It is so so good. I have it at least once a week when the corn stall at the farmer's market is there. Just amazing. I roast it in the oven in the husk at 350 for about 45 minutes. A little butter... a little salt...

While I enjoy getting holiday pay for federal and state holidays, I found I don't enjoy having a random day off during the week that is not a Monday or Friday. We were off yesterday for Primary Elections so today feels like a second Monday. Ugh. Really struggling with energy. Plus, it is public service employee…

Connie... take care of yourself dear. You and your family has been through so much of late! Bella... I know how you feel. It seems like one "cheat" (I actually hate that word but it is early on a Friday and I have not woken up fully yet) leads to another... and to another... and to another. It is not something that I have…
