Day 1: Blogging 100 days Challenge

 I did *spark* last week, and that's not my plan. Maybe it was not taking my thyroid Rx, maybe it was the cycle of the moon, who knows why?


Regardless, I'm back at it today, going for 200 points! (thanks sparkRecipes 2-ingredient pumpkin muffins, which I needed to double-check the directions on....)!

3 Little Victories:
1) Got back on spark, and tracked food 2) Motivated to cook Asian food for the New Year (& so sad to hear about the virus devastating China!) 3) 2-ingredient muffins! 114 cals, SUPER EASY (mix can of pumpkin w spice cake mix, makes 18 very soft and moist muffins); looking forward to breakfast tomorrow, but now must go finish up my last 17 or so points, take my Rx & go to sleep

    Oh thyroid disease can do many things to your energy, motivation and clarity of thinking in general. I call it brain fog. Have dealt w/it. NOT fun.

Day 1, again: Blogging 100 days Challenge; New Moon (Gemini)

Image
  So my last blogging challenge was interrupted by Covid, as I was an early Covid prepper (& irritated with those here who were in active and vocal denial, though I've gotten over that anger, which was my own maladaptive and non-compassionate response). I've been back, off and on, and off, but have mostly been engaged with and following my Spark plan, though I haven't always logged my food and my movement, lately. So I'm restarting this blogging challenge, with the New Moon, (Friday@1:39 EDT in loquacious Gemini. It almost happened by accident...I was reading an a sparkticle, and left a comment: FIVE FUN FITNESS GOALS FOR THE NEW YEAR ('09) https://www.sparkpeople.com/ blog/blog.asp?post=5_fun_f itness_goals_for_the_new_year & here are my summer fitness goals: Re-up'ing my fitness GOALS here, even tho it's not Jan1): 1) Continue with training to do 'real' push-ups: 13 will be first goal, then age (58, which is how many I can do @ wall right n...

Almond Macaro(o)ns

 Not exactly macaroons (which I think of as coconut) nor the recently trendy macarons (which are almond based, but more fussy?) these are more like the latter. Had an expired box of Solo almond paste, so needed to use it up...this recipe is from the back of the box, with 1 change: maraschino cherries are now cherries from canned cherry pie filling. Ingredients: 8 oz Solo Almond Paste 1 egg white 0.5 C sugar 5 oz Cherry Pie Filling (18 cherries) Direc tio ns: Preheat oven to 325F In food processor, break up almond paste, then process, add sugar & process, then add egg white and process for 2 min  (that basically seemed unnec...probly 20 sec was enough...but I followed the directions); Divide into 18 and roll balls (/pipe into stars) onto silicone-lined (silpat) sheet. Flatten & press thumb into it; place a cherry into each thumbprint, trying not to get much of the filling. Bake for 20 min on rack in middle of oven, then another 8 min on higher rack to brown Turned out k...
