With my life right now getting thrown for a loop, the only thing that keeps me sane is my workouts. My mother in law right now is taking away some of my time. The current government can take away my job. No one can take away my exercise progress. My new running goal is to [...]
More things are changing in my profession. I was all set to go to Emmetsburg Maryland next week for a FEMA class. However, due to the massive cuts it became virtual. I'm disappointed. FEMA's Emergency Management Institute has be a staple of learning for emergency management. Without funding, we may lose it entirely. My job [...]
I will be travelling a lot this week and throughout the month. Also, things are becoming more uncertain in terms of my job. I may be spared, but I may not. This means I will be doing more recipes that will use less expensive ingredients. I don't want to keep spending more money than I [...]
I wanted to share a bit of a pet peeve of mine. If you look at several vegetarian recipes online, there is one thing that they seem to have in common. I am excluding vegetable side dishes. It's the statement, "It's better than meat!" It's not better than meat. A vegetarian recipe is good in [...]
Those last five pounds are a doozy. I've had to take a scalpel to my eating. Deleting things and moving calories around so I am not so hungry. Eating under 1600 calories is hard for me. One thing to note: I am not on a diet. I'm still eating my regular foods. The changes I [...]
I'm hoping I can get back to normal this week. Since the time change, I've done nothing but travel. Ruined my sleep. Had to ditch my normal workouts for this past week. I stayed at a hotel that said they had a workout room. They did, but it didn't open until 6am. I'm up way [...]
I drew a line in the sand this week. I am NOT buying any more blueberries. Every time someone asks for them, they never get eaten. They just sit in my freezer. My mother in law was the last one. I bought frozen blueberries because she asked for them. Then after eating them, decided she [...]
These last two weeks have been a doozy. I'm tired. A class then a week long exercise. I used a lot of meals this week. Time to get more in the freezer. I'm glad I'm not travelling until May. I don't think I will be home much that month. Travelling by plane is also getting [...]
I'm slowly but surely going through my freezer. There's a lot of food I have forgotten about. I found a spiral sliced ham. We haven't eaten ham in a long time. There's a ton of frozen asparagus. Tony was eating a ton of it, then stopped. Not sure why. This Sunday I am making a [...]
I forgot to take a picture for this post. Oops. I am cooking a whole turkey this week. Thanksgiving was kind of bust. Which means I had a couple of turkeys left over. I am also looking at thinning out what I have in the freezer to make room, just in case my mother in [...]
