Boring Weekend Recap
source Monday, we meet again. You come on like lightning you saucy wench. I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to keep cool. We got up to 96 at different times so that's...fun. I have to start with these two cards I got in the mail Thursday night. The big paper one is from the friends we gifted our old grill to. The Mr and I cracked up at the hot dog 'thanks' on what is an exact image of the grill along with a lovely note from the Mrs of the couple thanking us profusely as they didn't have money to replace their grill that was falling apart. The other is from my friend I've known since 1988 and he doesn't send out cards much so this was a surprise. It was him telling us how lucky he is to have us a friends and how much we mean to him and he thought we should know. It made me cry for sure (and then of course check in to make sure he was okay. He is.) Obviously any kind of communication is appreciated but t...
I like the idea of pre-planning the workouts. Obviously we can tweak if needed but it was better when we weren't left to our own devices in those moments before a workout. We did well enough but sometimes we were tempted to do an easier one depending on how we felt in that moment. This way we just have to accept that, oh today is kettlebell day!
ReplyDeleteYes,I think we have kind of half assed it on some things when left to making that decision right before having to workout. Hopefully this will take the guesswork out of it.
DeleteSo what is your opinion of the whole wheat spaghetti/zucchini mix? Is the texture palatable? I'm not a huge fan of the texture of spaghetti squash, but am curious about these twister gadgets to make spaghetti shapes out of veggies.
ReplyDeleteI can't do anything other than the mix like I talked about in my spiralizer review (http://successalongtheweigh.blogspot.com/2015/05/product-review-vegetable-spiralizer.html)
DeleteBecause of using this mix, we've been able to add spaghetti back into our menu and I'd rather have a modified version than none at all. If you cut the zucchini and drain it earlier in the day, season it with some garlic powder and black pepper so it absorbs the flavor and it tastes less "vegetable-y."
I do plan mine out or else I'll talk myself out of it. As much as it should be a habit by now, I still fight it. But oddly enough, when it's in writing, I don't even think twice about it. Same with my food; when I right it down I don't spend the day obsessing about it. Then my struggle becomes just writing it all down! LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way about food. I plan out all of my meals on Sunday for the week so I look before each meal and don't even think twice about it. I want to get back to that with exercise because picking something spur of the moment is making me resent it a little.
