Made Dinner for the first time in a Long time…Family affair!

Well, today was a great day, I did get a bit of a late start, but I did accomplish what I set out to do today. We decided to give HelloFresh.com a try since I wanted to start helping my Grandma cook. So today all the ingredients for our next 3 meals came in a great big box, each meal had its own bag of stuff, with the cold items like meat in the bottom, all of it wrapped in a layer of insulation.

The three meals this week include pork grilled cheese sammiches with cucumber tomato salad, Italian orzo, and meatloaf and mash with green beans. Tonight we opted for the Italian Orzo and it was delicious, it’s basically Italian sausage, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, chicken stock, mozzarella cheese, water, salt and pepper, and Italian seasoning, all simmered in a pan and then covered with panko breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese, and then set under the broiler for 4 minutes until golden brown. Grandma and I cooked together for the first time in a long time and it was fun 🙂 It really turned out well and we have leftovers, W00t! So far, I would say if you like to try new things for meal time and you can afford about $110/week, HelloFresh.com is a great option, you don’t have to spend time at the grocery as everything is portioned out for only what you need.

Almost met my movement goal today, will have to kick it into high gear tomorrow, calorie intake looking good 🙂 Until the morrow, remember, get active and stay Attractive! 🙂

Down to 242 and on the down slope :)

Hazzah!! I have lost 6 pounds!! On track to meet my goal of 30 pounds down in 4 months 🙂 Grandma and I made a meal together again tonight, Grilled cheese pork sandwiches with a sweet onion jam with a side of cucumber tomato salad. I have to say, that was a fun one to cook and only took about 25 minutes to make.

I met all of my movement goals yesterday and got my walk in, I’m only about a quarter of the way there on my walking goal, I want to be able to walk for 45 minutes at a time with very little stopping or breaks, definitely going to need to step up my game Lebron and Steph Curry style 🙂

Funny for the day: I was enjoying the baseball game last night lounging in my recliner and nature was calling so I was getting ready to get up and much to my surprise, the power went off and so I thought oh man now I can’t watch the game….cutting my loses, I thought, well, I will just go the bathroom and the power will come back on so I went to de-recline my chair…ANNNDD it did NOT MOVE! That’s right folks, the joke was on me…my wonderful recliner is electric 🙂 Then I thought, surely the power will come back on in a sec….then it hits me…..I have to pee and I can’t get out of my chair! Well, the power DID NOT come back on until 3 hours later, man when it came on, I think I moved the fastest I have ever moved in a long time. Two things I learned in this experience, always have battery backups for electric devices and I can actually move pretty damn fast when I try 🙂

Until the next one folks, Get active and stay attractive 🙂

PS- We were glad to hear the good news about your friend’s cancer remission Uncle John, we will pray for them both 🙂 Next time you come, let’s make us some pizza 🙂
