What I'm Reading This Week #5

We made it to Friday!  Weeee doggies!  I am befuddled how it is the last week of January!  But then again, if I think about how I started the month in Vermont, that seems like forever ago.  So I'd say, buckle up for another time warp year.

I got to use a gift certificate my friend got me to Harney and Sons Tuesday.  I usually get the sachets of 50 and I never realized they did other sizes.  They were having a 20% off sale and I saw they had a 1lb bag of loose in my New England Breakfast tea and that brought it $.20 under my gift card total.  Score!  I've got these tea infuser balls, so I'm interested to see how many more cups of tea I might get out of this bag.  It's $10 more than the one I usually get so I would've been too cheap to upgrade but on someone else's dime, yes please.  These are the days of our lives.

Here's some dinners for your peepers.

Sunday was Beyond Burger again which seems to be a ritual so I didn't bother taking a pic of that.  Workout was our first strength workout, Turbo Fire Sculpt which is a butt kicker when we're actually in shape much less when we haven't done a strength workout in a month.  I'd be paying for that one the rest of the week.

Monday was BBQ shrimp and grits.

Workout was WATP 3 miles since it was raining.

Tuesday was the final serving of Ina's lobster pot pie with a side salad.

Workout was 3 miles around the hood.

Wednesday's dinner was Brussels Flatbread.

Workout was LIIFT4 Chest and Tri's which left me unable to lift a water glass the next day.

Dinner was Mexican Chicken and Rice Bowl sans bowl with broccoli.

Workout was Chalean Extreme Dynamic Yoga.

Now let's jump into...

Watch Tiffany Haddish Hilariously Think Random Thoughts While Meditating (1:40 in on the video is where it really starts.  I have to laugh b/c the Mr and I have been watching the Headspace meditations on Netflix and he's like "close your eyes" and then we hear "now go back into your body" and it's like "uh, I don't think we're meditating, I think we're napping!")

The last weekend of January and nothing I can think of to send it off properly.  I feel like a broken record as far as our exciting weekend 'plans.'  Pfft.  

Do YOU have plans for the weekend?  Dreams of plans for a weekend in the future?  Do you remember what a weekend is?
