What I'm Reading This Week #18

Howdy do!  Can you believe it's the last day of April?  I know I say that the last day of every month but probably because each month seems to melt into the next one.  I can't help but remember what I was doing 27 years ago...getting ready for a great day when I would go from being a girlfriend in the morning to a fiancĆ© at night.  Jeez, you think a month flies by, time in general is just a massive mind you-know-what.  

Here's a few nights of eats this week.

Monday was veggie stir fry with peanut sauce.


Workout was ChaLean Extreme Burn.

Tuesday was low sodium marinara over lentil pasta with zucchini.


Workout was a walk around the hood.

Wednesday was Caulipower veggie pizza.


Workout was a 3 mile walk.

Thursday was fish tacos and Brussels.


Workout was leg day- strength.

Well, I think it's about time we dig into...

  1. We don't have internet at our house right now so I've had to wait until I got back to work in order to go through my emails so my responses are a bit delayed.

    Nothing planned this weekend but work. Both dogs needed to go to the vet for emergency care, one turns out it was just a lot of gas...lol, and the other with a bad UTI that sprung up out of nowhere, so it's been a very stressful week. I need to cook and do some laundry tomorrow to prepare for the week, but that's about it aside from going to work.
