What I'm Reading This Week #37
Good mid(ish)- September Friday to you. I hope your week felt short and your flop sweat was minimal. We never seem to be rewarded with two cool weeks in a row so it was back to poopie temps and we'll be tipping 90 this weekend which I am none too pleased about. Once you throw me two 70's days in a row, it's time to retire the summer temps. Dems da rules. I got a few things done this week like steaming the curtains which made them drop about 1/2" but thankfully not drag the floor. I finally got the dead flat I ordered from some chick on Etsy after she sent me the wrong thing initially and it took two weeks to get the right thing. I don't know about you but if I sent someone the wrong thing initially and made them have to drive to the post office to return my mistake, I'd be refunding some money or expediting their shipping on the right box. So I've got my two coats on the newel post after doing a little touch up on a spot I didn't see originally....
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.
