Belated Weekend Recap

Hola peeps and happy Tuesday.  Anyone else get engulfed by the wildfire smoke over the weekend?  Three days straight for us with lots of air quality alerts.  I hope my Canadian friends are doing okay. It was a bit of a lazy weekend to start until it wasn't.  (Thanks to me, I'm sure the Mr is mumbling under his breath.). I have been throwing myself into projects this month to keep myself from spiraling over Mom's birthday this week.  Not to mention constantly fighting every aspect of gardening and I swear I typed that sentence before that last time I tried in 2020.  I have fungus gnats in the elevated planters because of all of the damn rain we've been getting and the soil can't dry out for them to die off.  So I got some mosquito dunks that can be cut into 1/8's and put into a gallon of water overnight and then water the area to kill the larvae then dry the soil to kill the adults.  This is apparently common with organic gardening but frustrating...

What I'm Reading This Week #26

We made it!  Not just to Friday but we're halfway through 2021.  I thought last year felt long, this year is giving 2020 a run for its money in some ways!  It wasn't a great week emotionally so I totally forgot about a hump day poll but you guys might not be sad about that.  LOL  We did have a few cooler days this week so that was nice.  One morning the Mr and I sat out on the patio with some tea while he worked and I got some garden stuff done.  It was really nice and we need to do it more.  

I actually remembered to take pics of food this week.

Monday we had shrimp and veggie rice rolls with thai peanut sauce and salad


Workout was WATP.

Tuesday was General Tso's with cauli-rice and pineapple.


Workout was 2 1/2 mile walk.

Wednesday was lentil spaghetti with low sodium marinara and Gardein's meatless meatballs.


Workout was a 2 1/2 mile walk.

Thursday was cauliflower "taco" salad.


Workout was HASFit resistance bands.

Now let's slip into...





30 Minutes of Walking a Day Can Help You Lose Weight! Try These Indoor Walking Workouts  (I'm down with new blood for our indoor walking pleasure.  They missed one though.)


The One Mistake Youā€™re Probably Making When You Brush Your Teeth  (I'm always appalled when people say they don't brush their tongue/cheeks/roof of mouth.  You've wasted your time brushing your teeth by immediately re-infecting with the germiest parts of your mouth!  YARF!)

How to Master the Art of Calming Down (That is something I'd LOVE to master!)


Where Are Your Favorite 'Biggest Loser' Winners Now?  (Always wondered how some of them are doing.  Haven't watched that show in YEARS)



Is this OUR Chateau?  (For a moment, the Mr and I thought perhaps this was our chance to unleash our inner Strawbridge's Chateau style but then we thought better of it.)

You Need to Try This Scavenger Hunt in Your City This Summer  (Hey Mr, I think I found something to do over the weekend!)

Not real sure what we're getting into this weekend.  I'm seriously thinking about doing the last link up there if we get super bored.  Aunt Flo's in town so I suspect she's going to dictate things a bit since I've been a crampy pants the past few days.

Anything planned for the weekend?

    Your food pics look amazing!! Those shrimp veggie rolls... and you remind me to get a "spaghetti night" back into the rotation. I've have zucchini noodles but not lentil noodles, hmmmmm.....
    Not sure what we're doing this weekend. The blissfully cool two-ish days we just had in MA are getting replaced with the HHH weather once more, so I think it'll be a quiet weekend. DH's car got trashed by a deer last Sat morning, hood buckled/engine pushed in etc so we're down to a single car. Maybe a road trip/country drive with a packed lunch.....
    Have a great weekend!!! Mel

      Oh no! So sorry to hear about hubby's car! I think a picnic sounds like a perfect pick me up!

    I have no plans other than buying a new home and birthday gift for the same person. I know where I'm going so we'll see how my knee handles that. May have to put off the one store if it flares up. It's rainy and muggy here so that may limit my drive with the pups. Today's exciting event is laundry so it's done for the weekend. Then it's work for us this weekend. Super busy and exciting as you can see...bhahahahaha!! Have a great weekend!

      At first I read it that you were buying a new home and was like 'WHAT?!' I hope the knee does well and brace up if you get any twinges.

      Take a long whiff of that thai sauce, it's AMAZING! (low sodium chicken broth, natural peanut butter and a squirt of sriracha)
