What I'm Reading This Week #22

Howdy do and welcome to the last Friday of May.  😑  Even though it was a short week, it always seems just a tinge longer than the previous week.  I'm getting antsy because I want to see blooms.  When you're growing from seed, it requires a patience I don't naturally have and trying to keep things from getting to everything before it has a chance to.  Then reading about some God awful hornworm that can just come in and decimate your tomato plants overnight.  It makes me wonder at what point do I put up the insect netting over the bucket veggies.  Other than that, not much else going on this week. Let's hop straight into: Does Walking Build Muscle, Burn Fat, or Both ?  (The part about e-scooters is often a discussion as kids on them and e bikes rocket past us in the park or on a sidewalk going 20 mph.  These kids are going to have ZERO muscle.)

Free money and Food Journal Friday

It's Friday y'all!  Man this week has dragged/drug been long.  

You know when it's a good day?  When you get this...


$10 off at Sur La Table?  Don't mind if I do.  I know where I'm going Sunday!

I'm going to have the Mr run over to the video store and pick up This Is 40.  (affiliate link)  There has been a serious dry spell of good movie releases this month.  Boo.  I have high hopes for this one.  I'm actually hoping I will love it so much it'll go on the wish list for b-day/Cmas.  Let's hope I'm not eating those words tomorrow.

{Update} - Mmm, these words taste mighty good with BBQ sauce.  It's REALLY bad when the credits are better.

You wanna see the food, don't you?  Let's eat!

Sunday was pineapple, roasted red pepper bbq chicken naan pizza and our Sunday tradition of TJ's chipotle cheddar bites.  Calories:  715


Monday was chicken tacos with "rainbow salad."  (Black beans, corn, red peppers, scallions)  Calories:  623


Tuesday was crab stuffed flounder, thai lime rice and grilled green beans.  Calories:  645


Wednesday was one of our favorite meals.  BBQ chicken quesadilla with TJ's pesto gouda, grilled purple potatoes since my russets were putting down roots and brussels.  Calories:  656


Thursday was mahi fish taco, leftover rainbow salad and a side of brussels with roasted red peppers.  Calories:  680


Tonight's dinner will be BBQ salmon burger, a side of brussels and a clementine.  Calories:  425

I've got a little surprise for the Mr tomorrow so I can't say what we're doing this weekend but Sunday I'm definitely hitting up Sur La Table.  If only I could live there, roll on the floors and cover myself in their merchandise.  Oops, I probably shouldn't have said that aloud.

What's on tap for your weekend?

    It was a loooong week but as evidenced by your pics above we ate extremely wonderful meals. But then again I say that all the time, because it's true!

    Can't wait to find out what my big surprise is!

    Oh man that looks good. I'm proud of you for getting so much fish throughout the week. That's one area where I fail, even though I love fish.

    Aw, why didn't I get a coupon in the mail?! Sigh. I am probably headed to Sur La Table tomorrow too. We should compare hauls! :)

    That is a nice coupon! I look for those all the time online. I never buy anything online anymore without searching one out. I used to get Sur La Table's catalog and bought a few copper items back in the day.

    Well, my weekend plans just changed as I got a short email from my mother stating that Easter Brunch was cancelled at my uncle's assisted living place due to a flu bug going around. So now I need to rearrange some things, so I honestly don't know what my weekend plans are! =o)

    No plans for the weekend. I just got home from a visit with my folks. The little guy is staying for some extra grandparent time and they will run him home on Sunday. All I know for my weekend is it will involve no children's tv, and sleeping in both days which is a rare luxury.
