What I'm Reading This Week #28

Hello and Happy Friday my beautiful peeps!  Well, I guess I'm glad we did the tree last weekend because just as we were getting ready to leave Monday for a nursery field trip, the HOA maintenance dude shows up- no call, no email, just hoping we were home with no real knowledge of what needed to be done.  He chatted with the Mr, did a few caulks and took pics to get it submitted for siding replacement.  After that we got on the road to go to this big nursery.  Am I the only one that sweats off their sunscreen in sheets??  I swear I probably looked like I was having a stroke to passersby.  So I bought some powder sunscreen for our faces hoping that will help.  I was bummed this one great powder foundation I used years ago isn't around anymore since it had built in spf so I hope this stuff is comparable. Did a lot of stuff in the garden and it cracks me up how such a small space can take up so much of my time when I have chores to do.  The Mr's ban...

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!

  3. 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.

  5. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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!

    Wishing you and the Mr. a Very Merry Christmas, Anele!
