Family Time Weekend Recap

Happy Monday all!  I hope y'all aren't melting in the heat because it is MISERABLE!  Today we are going to apparently break records from the heat and be at 100 with heat index way higher.  Yay.  This will be me for the next week: source We went to my second cousin's graduation party.  I purposely wanted to arrive about 45 minutes later than the start time.  You don't want to get wrangled into setting up, babysitting, etc and that happened to people arriving earlier from what I heard so smart call on my part.  Also everyone is always chit chatting and we knew if there would be food it would be about the time they'd be eating...right again.  We already ate so we were good to go and then shocked the sh*t out my family when we walked in.  Final goal:  ✔ The grad immediately popped up and came over to hug us and be a good hostess which was so cute.  She's always been a very sweet kid but also a little badass.  She was the only wrest...

What I'm Reading This Week #14

Happy first Friday!  It's April 2nd.  Did anyone have the nerve to prank you yesterday?  I remember last year when all of the sites that are typically known for their epic April Fools Day pranks were like "um yeah, we're 3 weeks into a pandemic, I think we're going through enough right now."  Kinda still feels that way so yeah...no tomfoolery in these parts!

Here's some eats for this week.

Sunday I made 2 oz lentil pasta with 2 large zukes and shallots with low sodium marinara and an arugula spinach salad.



Workout was lower body strength.

Monday was grilled General Tso's with caulirice and pineapple.





Workout was Anna's cardio for a 400 calorie burn.

Tuesday was maple orange roughy, sweet potato gnocchi and Brussels sprouts.



Workout was MBF day 3 arm strength torture session.

Wednesday was a carrot noodle stir fry modified from this recipe.



Workout was 2 laps around the hood even though it was windy and cold.

Thursday was BBQ shrimp and grits made with bone broth.



Workout was Insanity Max Cardio Challenge.

Now it's time to peep at...

What Is EMDR? How This Therapy Is Used for PTSD  (Fascinating stuff.  I briefly mimicked a session when we were watching The Affair and they talked about it.  Oddly enough, it brought back stuff from the day my dad left which was really strange but I was freaked how quickly it brought those things forward.)

I think we're going to start getting to a bit of organizing and stuff.  At least that's the plan.  Oh crap, it's Easter weekend!!  Um yeah, so we'll be doing that too.  I've already got honey baked ham frozen from when they did a bogo on slices so I suppose we'll throw together a few sides too and call it a day.  

Any plans for the weekend?
