What I'm Reading This Week #35

Howdy do and happy last Friday of August!  I hope you had a good week and if your weather was like ours, it was FINALLY under 93 degrees.  Don't get me wrong, I know sweater weather isn't here but it was nice to not have the AC working overtime (set to 76) starting at 11am every day!   It was nice to not walk out to water the garden and walk into a wall of humidity so I will take what I can get.    Speaking of which: With this 3" San Marzano , I shall be able to make enough sauce to cover 7.3 spaghetti noodles. 😒 Now let's get to: How to Stock Your Pantry for Quick & Easy Meals in Minutes   (Ooh, I need to crockpot some black beans for some sweet potato black bean burritos.)

Push It Real Good

While this may conjure up images of Salt n' Pepa back in the day jammin' out showing us that ladies can rap too (or a Turbo Fire session for the rest of you Turbo peeps), it reminds me of a good workout that leaves me a quiverin' heap.  Last night we did the Lower Body Total Trainer/Free Weight Hybrid workout.  For those that need a refresher...


If you missed this the first time and want a description of the exercises, click here.

It's been a few weeks since we've done it and I thought I missed it.  Maybe not.  Well no, that's not true, I did miss that feeling of having pushed myself to the limits when I'm done.  I think by the time we get to the lateral lunges, we're both shaking and feeling like anything else we complete is done so out of pushing through that and digging deep.  That's a great feeling!  There is nothing like knowing you did above and beyond and really, in this weight loss game, you can't get mo' bettah than that!

What workout makes you push beyond your usual exertion?

    That is a tough workout but I definitely felt good after doing it. Especially since I have to admit that before hand, I was really not feeling like working out. Glad I just pushed through it.

    Any workout can if I put it all into it, but most of the time I choose a walk.

    I did go to a Zumba class last night and I feel a little like I got hit by a truck this morning. When I'm able to get to the pool for laps I usually end up pretty whupped and noodle armed. Those are probably my two favorites that leave me knowing I've worked, but unfortunately due to scheduling neither is generally an option for me.
