The M Must Stand for Misery

I guess we know which fork Michigan picked. It's really unfortunate. The past two games have shown pretty much all of Michigan's weaknesses. The game against Michigan State showed their terrible defense. The game against Iowa showed their terrible special teams. And in both cases, the offense didn't prove that a team could just get by with...well...a good offense. Also, does it seem like Denard Robinson is injured in some way in every game? I think I've seen him being walked off the field more often than fans at a World Cup match. (it's a few months old, but I think it can apply.) I don't know whether to roll my eyes every time it happens, or be thrilled it's not more serious. (I'm looking at you Stafford.) These next three games could salvage a season. But does Michigan really have what it takes to defeat three mediocre teams in the Big Ten? They had a hard enough time with Indiana! This bye week could not have come at a better time. It's been a roller-coaster of a first half for Michigan, and the games only get tougher. A game at Happy Valley under the lights. Another against a pretty formidable defense. And a final one against a team that looks pretty bad, but will probably bring out everything against this team. Everyone brings their A-game to Michigan, unfortunately. Hypothetically, we could still end this season 8-4. But is it a good season if you lose your third straight game to MSU, your third straight Homecoming game (aren't those supposed to be pancake walks?), and quite possibly your gajillionth straight loss to Ohio State? (Doesn't it seem like a gajillionth by now?) I just can't justify that. They have to show improvements against Penn State. The defense can't run out of gas after the first quarter, like it seemed like it did on Saturday. Wide receivers can't drop passes. Everything needs to click. Can Michigan save this season? That is really the question on people's minds. And it will stay in their minds for the next two long weeks.

Tired Monday

I'm a little late on my Monday post, obviously! ;) I was overly tired yesterday, not feeling 100%, so I listened to my body and crashed in bed around 8pm! I woke up this morning feeling refreshed & ready to take on the day! Hooray! :) Ok back to my Monday eats! I had wonderful bowl of oatmeal with 1 T of peanut butter & a small sliced banana for 5 points this morning. We finally got peanut butter again, I missed it so!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM9ma8iR48geP98WIRTBjl-B3tp-4LPO1Yaw8OWpSCovZWNcSu4YGs_Lb6KR6Fb1D1Nk0NhYyg3ZpjT4NuIveq20RlNnAXUrQ1jNfQ0pWoFNjQzF_5BUaCeIQgHHq2mgQdnQlIylGpFPqA/s1600/DSC09056.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529813982398787570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM9ma8iR48geP98WIRTBjl-B3tp-4LPO1Yaw8OWpSCovZWNcSu4YGs_Lb6KR6Fb1D1Nk0NhYyg3ZpjT4NuIveq20RlNnAXUrQ1jNfQ0pWoFNjQzF_5BUaCeIQgHHq2mgQdnQlIylGpFPqA/s400/DSC09056.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a> I just wasn't feeling 100% throughout the morning. I tried my morning snack of Greek yogurt for 2 points, but it just didn't settle my stomach. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQPDo5CAgr29vBAagccUrdOzPvaJxx9WiExZhm5vZHag6nCbyUMXp0syMiOrbs8WBxbd12DeUzltxaML1hyHl4EYMgA_Tt452MtPFgCRw1DXf29K5ezEl8NWIu3ws13Z0NFd0UkGtuJoR/s1600/DSC09057.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529813969128946242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQPDo5CAgr29vBAagccUrdOzPvaJxx9WiExZhm5vZHag6nCbyUMXp0syMiOrbs8WBxbd12DeUzltxaML1hyHl4EYMgA_Tt452MtPFgCRw1DXf29K5ezEl8NWIu3ws13Z0NFd0UkGtuJoR/s400/DSC09057.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a> I figured I give my lunch a try to see if that would do the trick! I had a SmartOnes for 6 points. Thankfully it helped! I must have just been hungry! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSPEDmD1UhaIQ2k7CdJvSVKTVlJ7eeINudXruRcTlWZ6NH5V4xEBSKVGDnLKtF5QyplYRwDCyBrztYv1m4Ytu3iCPj2AhJoBifLEsQIT4CHs8rLoJhM2DuuWY1xHjfohQipP0sZ6pVP2dD/s1600/DSC09058.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529813961390898738" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSPEDmD1UhaIQ2k7CdJvSVKTVlJ7eeINudXruRcTlWZ6NH5V4xEBSKVGDnLKtF5QyplYRwDCyBrztYv1m4Ytu3iCPj2AhJoBifLEsQIT4CHs8rLoJhM2DuuWY1xHjfohQipP0sZ6pVP2dD/s400/DSC09058.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a> My stomach was ok, but boy oh boy was I tired!! Usually my days at work fly by, but not this afternoon! I was a bad clock watcher! Thankfully a friend at work helped me get through with a WW friendly brownie, only 2 points, she dropped off!

I made a quick stop at Hobby Lobby for a project I'm working on (can't wait to share w/you guys!).
