What I'm Reading This Week #41

Aloha Friday...you saucy beetch.  Aloha to you all as well.  How was your week?  Get a lot done?  I got all of my Christmas presents and stocking stuffers wrapped and at least out of the way.  I wrapped a certain someone's birthday presents.  We talked about the perpetual Groundhog Day we're in, twitched a little and are happy to welcome the weekend.

Let's see what we've been welcoming into our pie holes this week.

Monday was BBQ Pineapple Chicken pizza and veggies.

Workout was a walk in the park.

Tuesday I had a craving for old school fish sticks (Ian's), baked fries and green beans

Workout was Fitness Blender Lower Body strength.

Wednesday was almond apple stuffed BBQ chicken breast and Brussels.

Workout was Fitness Blender HIIT/Upper Body strength.

Thursday was lentil pasta with low sodium marinara and meatless meatballs with a salad.

Workout was Fitness Blender HIIT Cardio Low Impact.

The Mr's birthday is next week but we're celebrating this weekend.  He wants his yellow cake with chocolate icing this year instead of me trying to explain a yellow (or marble) cake with half white and half chocolate frosting to the bakery lady.  I don't mind, I think it's comical but they're always like "uh, it'll look ugly" and I say "it's all going to the same place, he doesn't care."  I did that with his 40th birthday cake and I think it always stuck in his head.  But we're going old school this year and I'm sure he's excited.  He's been quite hard to shop for for Christmas and birthday since he's officially reached the age of "I don't need anything and besides we have no room for it."

What's on your agenda this weekend?
