What I'm Reading This Week #14

Annnnd we're revving into Friday. source I must start with a teary goodbye to Val Kilmer.  No lie, three days before he passed I got the song " How Silly Can You Get " from the movie Top Secret in my head out of nowhere.  I hadn't seen a reference, heard anything about him and definitely hadn't heard that song in 20+ years.  I said to the Mr "I wonder how Val is doing?" then I soon got my answer.  I remember seeing Top Secret at the drive in with Mom when it came out.  When Real Genius came out on HBO, it was one of the few movies my Dad and I bonded over, is in my top five movies of all time and is the Mr and I's love language after I make him king of the winter carnival.   source Anyone who followed Val's career and personal life over the decades knows he got a little out of the box and didn't settle for norms which also included his approach to his throat cancer.  He lived authentically himself which is something we all hope to say when o...

Prince party - Weigh In

Since Prince makes sure any of his work is taken off YouTube, this is where I would insert a video of his song 1999.  Why?  Because with my 2 lb loss today, it puts me at dragon slayer number.  (Aka- I haven't seen this weight since the Mr and I lost 85 lbs back in 1999.)  So it's like from this point out I've got 35 lbs to go before I hit my high school weigh so that's the next milestone I'm aiming for.

Here's where the but comes in.  It's birthday weekend and unfortunately there are lots of less than healthy treats planned since I have 2 celebrations today and tomorrow.  But I am going to seriously bust my butt exercise wise this week, drown myself in water, I'm going to lower my calories the first couple days of next week to try to even things out and most importantly, tonight if I'm still somewhat full, I'm not going to eat dinner just because its dinner time.  I'm actually going to listen to my body.  (Shocking)  I might actually do a full cardio and strength tomorrow instead of our usual strength only.  So there is a plan in place to counter balance the cupcakey damage I'm about to indulge in.

At this point, I'm just pray to maintain this coming week.  ;-)

What's on your to do list this weekend?

    I'm headed for a visit with my MIL in southwestern Colorado and have no idea what will be on the menu. If it's up to her, it will be fast-food hamburgers; but one of the reasons we're going is to persuade her to stop eating so many of those.

    Happy birthday, happy cupcake indulgence, and WOOHOO for the 2-lb loss!

    Congrats on slaying your dragon! and Happy Birthday to you!

    No real plans this weekend. My folks might come for a visit, but they haven't decided yet. Otherwise it'll just be typical weekend chores and lazying about.

    Happy Birthday!!

    Me and boyfriend are going to wander around this reservoir in our state for a few hours today, we're picking a mini road trip for tomorrow, a boat on Tuesday, and bumming/homework&studying the rest of the time. Oh the joys of being a grad student (me) and him working on getting his PE (engineer)

    Happy Birthday and Dragon Slayin' Weekend! If I hadn't recently indulged in birthday shenanigans of my own, I'd join you in the celebration by making a trip to Muddy's in your honor! (They make oatmeal cream pies now.)

    This weekend we try to restore order after Hurricane Isaac. Schools will reopen Tuesday, we think. My daughter's high school was used as a shelter for evacuees. Not sure if they'll be able to return people to their homes or not with the new problems of locks failing and dams breaking. I'm betting your weekend is a LOT better than ours. lol I hope you have a magical birthday!!

    *hugs*

    Happy Birthday Weekend!
    It is my birthday weekend too. I started the celebration by walking a 5K (second year), then going and weighing in and losing 2.4 lbs too. How weird is that? I had a birthday party yesterday - and decided to have the cake, 'cause my brother and his wife actually make cake that is good! No other real plans for the rest of the weekend...
    Oh - and congrats on slaying the dragon!!!!

    Happy Birthday! I just found your page, not quite sure how I got here. Sometimes, when I can't sleep I blog hop. It's better than bar hopping, right? But, wow, I love what you are doing. And congrats on the success. I've added you to my favorites so I can check out your workouts and recipes, but I should probably get some sleep.

    As for this weekend, feel free to peek at my blog. I just updated it for today's fun. Have a great weekend!
