Low Key Easter Weekend Recap

Y'all it almost happened.  It seemed like it was almost a perfect carpet install.  Then the dude grabbed a broom and swept all of the carpet on top, swept the floor, then swept the stairs going downstairs.  Thanks for taking our clean carpet and giving it a fresh layer of unknown dust and dirt all over it.  Then we looked when they left and saw a gap by the baseboard on the landing we weren't happy with and I know they had to have seen it so I fear shoe molding is in our future which we hate.  The final "of course?"  We had a TON left.  Like enough to recarpet another set of stairs easily.  Uh, why are you sending someone out to measure to give us a quote and we have enough left over to carpet another set of stairs and have enough of another piece for a big strip in front of the washer and dryer.  This goes well beyond the "10% waste" they have you get.   (It stretches 2/3 the length of our basement) So begins the process of trying...

Twas the Weigh In Before Christmas

...and I was miraculously down 3 more pounds!

I thought I was dreaming...um, yeah I'm not going to try to rhyme!  LOL

I know this is going to be very temporary with the upcoming holiday and possibly a small side trip the following weekend depending on how the foot is feeling.  I think I may have pinched my sciatic nerve yesterday when I foam rolled before and after my workout because I have a bit of tingling in my left leg today.  (No I don't have diabetes and I think it'd be pretty coincidental that MS would rear it's head the exact same time I'm having nerve entrapment in my tibial nerve which is part of my sciatic nerve)

Today is the beginning of Christmas family gluttony.  No one knows I'm injured except for my cousin so I'm hoping I can pull off normality.  I'm making 2 healthier dishes.  I'm throwing together 2 bags of quinoa duo from TJ's so we have a healthy option as well as my cousin.  I made a spice cake using applesauce in place of oil and bananas in place of eggs.  Now the frosting won't be low cal but it's about balance right?  :-)

Welp, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and feel free to let me know your plans for the weekend below!

    That is really great news! Maybe this low/no impact regiment is just what you need for now. I know you say it's gluttony season, but I bet you'll show restraint anyway. Good luck pulling of normality and I hope your foot heals enough for you trip.

    Congratulations! Good idea making the cake healthy but the icing regular - you have a choice to eat none, some or all of the icing but at least you know the cake isn't too bad.

    Have a great time, my friend. We will be surrounded by family and friends. My stepdaughter's little girl is 10 months old, so it will be wonderful to have a wee one in the house on Christmas morning. Sending big hugs to you and your Mr.

    Nice going on 3 more pounds Anele. It's a Christmas miracle I tell ya! I'm gonna be happy with no gain but too many family dinners will probably make that impossible or at least improbable. Merry Christmas!
