What I'm Reading This Week #18
Happy Friday everyone and welcome to May. We had a long week of getting the garage together so the Mr could finally park in it six weeks later. We still have some work to do in there as far as purging and such but we needed to get the space useable again since it's been a holding tank for our old countertop/sink, old grill waiting to be picked up by a friend, insulation, built planters and patio table and extra fencing from critter cages. We haven't had the mental drive to figure out how we get the shelves in order. I think I'm going to have to look up some garage organizing articles or something because it's really overwhelming to look at it all. If we can get a plan together to tackle it then maybe we'll have our weekend plans for next weekend as long as it's not hot yet because we don't want to be in a sweatbox. Now let's peek into: Dietitians Agree, Eating More Might Be the Secret to Your Strongest Year Ever (Volume eating FTW. It's been ...
I am so there for the metabolic testing. Just say where and when!
ReplyDeleteI would like to have ANYTHING that looks like Minka Kelly. She is gorgeous--I was a big Friday Night Lights fan.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reading list! I'll read them asap.
ReplyDeleteI found something interesting in the grocery store yesterday, that I hadn't seen before. We had given up on salt substitutes as they taste horrible, but when I saw a brand called Diamond Crystal that is real salt but with 33% less sodium, I had to try it. My hubby says he can still taste the bitter aftertaste (they add stuff to it, including the potassium that makes most salt substitutes bitter), but he was tasting the salt alone. I tried it on my eggs this morning and it was fine. Maybe not for margaritas, but fine with food, lol.
Wow, love the ab routine! So simple...going to go do some right now.
DeleteI'd really like that metabolic testing. I can't seem to figure out why I am busting my arse and not losing. In the past month I am down only like 1.5 pounds. I have been eating so well and drinking boatloads of water and doing my workouts, even going to bed earlier (that's always been hard for me because the evening is the only free time I ever get and I like to stay up) and every day my weight is between 188 and 189. Sometimes I wonder if I exercise too much, but then that week I didn't workout a lot my weight stayed the same. I seem to gain weight instantly if I just barely eat over my calories. I read where a person who was overweight, even when they get to their goal weight, will always have to eat less just to maintain that weight. It's kind of disheartening. I eat around 1600 calories most days and at night my stomach is growling. I don't know how I can eat much less and work out as much as I do without feeling awful.
ReplyDeleteThat metabolic testing sounds interesting. Let us know what you find out.
