The adventures of one woman on an epic quest to achieve her life’s ambitions by her 40th birthday

Weekly Snapshot #6

someecards.com - Just a head's up that I'm sick and would appreciate the opportunity to bravely decline your offers of attentionThis is going to be really a really fast snapshot because I am seriously torn up this week.

Remember two weeks ago when I posted that I’m feeling better and that I didn’t catch Jim’s cold? Well… I totally jinxed myself. Ended up with bronchitis and a touch of pneumonia. 

The good news is that I’m down 4.4 pounds this week for a total loss of 29ish pounds. The bad news is that the only reason I’ve lost that much is because I haven’t really been able to eat anything for the past three days. Even getting fluids down is a challenge.

The bookshelves in the computer room are up, which is great, but I haven’t really done anything with them yet because I ended up getting ill shortly after we put them up and I do not have the energy to do much of anything right now. Even typing is taking a lot out of me, and only my fingers are moving for that!

The other good news is that Chapter 14 is done. I wanted to move directly into chapter 15, but sitting at the computer and concentrating for very long is far too tiring right now.

And that’s about all I have the energy to write for now.

If you look up recipes around the paleo/primal sphere, you will absolutely run into people swearing up and down that mashed cauliflower is an awesome substitute for mashed potatoes. Well, I don’t know about you, but I had TERRIBLE luck trying to replicate their seemingly effortless results. Every time I made them, they tasted alright [...]

Ok, I admit, it’s a little bit of a dud recipe. Salad dressing? Seriously? Yes, seriously. Do you have any idea how hard it is to go to a store and find a salad dressing that doesn’t contain sugar, honey, pretend sugar, soy, or some other grain product that isn’t part of my diet plan? [...]

I love collards, but I am not a really big fan of the way many southerners tend to boil the ever living crap out of them. This recipe from Skinny Taste may just be the answer. I’d probably add some onions as well because I’m like that and I add onions to just about everything. [...]

Just another one of those “finding something new to do with cucumbers” recipes. You know, for being such a simple veggie, there sure do seem to be a TON of really delicious looking things to do with them. I may have to push the hubster into adding cukes to next year’s garden.

Sometime last week, I posted a little something from LitReactor about five ways we sabotage ourselves. Well, here are five MORE ways. Yep, we are really into messing things up for ourselves.
