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.)

Bon voyage, weigh in and shaky week ahead

Where did the weekend go?

I'm ready for another one.  Anyone else?

We went to visit with the Mr's brother and his wife before they pack up their life and move away.  It was a great visit and one of those ones where you leave going "why did it take you guys leaving forever for us to get to this place?"  Sigh.  I don't really foresee us going to their neck of the woods or making a special trip there but hopefully we'll get to hang out with them like that again another time.

We made a stop at a local antique store where they enticed me with their vintage lunchboxes.




It made me want to break out my Barry Gibb lunchbox from the basement bin.

Our weigh in was good Saturday.  I was down two (just barely) and the Mr was down one.  This week will be interesting.  We flip flopped our high cal day to Sunday to be with them and we ate without planning.  It wasn't too wild but about 600 more than we have been the past two weekends and even with planning out all of my meals to be lower this week, I'm still showing 200 calories higher average and that was without our ritual Sunday cocoa we had to forego.  Grrr!

So, we'll see.  I guess we'll have to bump up the workouts a little this week to try to compensate.

Tonight is BBQ salmon and brussels.

What did you guys do this weekend?  What are your goals this week?

    My weekend was alright
    I went to visit my grandmother and was able to replace items I lost in the water damage. I also helped de-hoard her attic as bit (she's not actually a "Hoarders" (thoe show) hoarder but there's a ridiculous amount of stuff in that house. I've made a plan on how to deal with some of it - I'm finally going to learn how to ebay it seems... and some will be donated and some trashed.

    On a happier note, I beat my personal record (PR) in a 5mi road race by about 3 min.

    My goals: pick up my apartment, hit my workouts

    I didn't do much. Ran some errands, picked up the house a bit, took the boy to the pool. Mostly it was just about getting ready to go back to work today. I really could have used a 2 week spring break, one week just wasn't nearly long enough.

    It was a good weekend but did go by way too fast as usual! I definitely need to plan the meals ahead this week to make sure I stay on target and try to get out of this current set of numbers I'm in.
