Limpy Weekend Recap

Hey howdy partners.  Here we are...Monday.  Again.    

The Mr and I weighed in and while I was irritated to be down 1 lb (it was period week which almost always nets me two), I did at least note that my body fat went down by .5% thanks to the smart scale and lean mass went up by .3%   That was quite good to see since the week before there were big fat goose eggs across the board and I was wicked ticked.  I did get the floor bike in 4 days last week including Saturday to bump up my steps.  My goal is to do the bike every day so long as it doesn't make my legs any worse.

Saturday we went to this historic town that we used to go to for Christmas for quite a few years.  The Mr and I both went on field trips there when we were kids and it was known for selling replicas of old money in war times as well as historical documents.  The general store was full of penny candy, licorice pipes, old timey toys and the shops were specialty food shops that were so fun to poke around in.  About 15 years ago, we saw all of the old shops turning modern and the whole point of the place was being stripped from it.  10 years ago we stopped going for Christmas because it was just sad and nothing like it used to be.  So it surprised me when the Mr asked if I wanted to go there to walk since it was 90 minutes away and not really what it used to be anymore.  We'd gotten a spitting of snow so I guess he wanted to test out the tires.  Despite full lots, there was almost no one on the streets so we did about five laps.

Sunshine made for quick melting in many spots.

The sidewalks are all made of bricks and incredibly uneven so it was murder on my already screwed up feet and his didn't fare much better.  The more we walked, the sadder I got.  It was such a part of our childhoods, Christmas tradition, there was a Mom connection too and it was just too much.  When we were on a stretch break I told him I never wanted to come back.  I suppose if we need a bathroom break, it's fine on the way to somewhere else but that was just one more thing from my old life that was decimated.  It's not even like the 'modern' stores do well there so in my opinion, they violated the town for nothing and many of the stores they got rid of would thrive now based on current culinary trends. We came back and watched a few shows while I was on the floor bike and racked up another 550 calories and topped myself out at almost 14,000 steps for the day.  You can imagine Sunday wasn't going to feel great.

Sunday morning the Mr and I hung out for a little bit before the grocery pickup.  Aldi is on my shit list this week.  I literally have a note NOT to give me wet coleslaw mix regardless of the date because if it's wet, it's bad.  It hasn't been a problem since putting the note on there.  Yesterday?  TWO friggin' soggy bags of coleslaw for the meal I was preparing with THOSE as the main ingredient!!  The poor Mr had to trudge back out and brave the crowds to get them.  The thing that chapped my butt even more was for the 4th time they gave us strawberry Greek yogurt over raspberry.  He can choke it down, I can't.  Something about it grosses me out and I KNOW it said raspberry because I specifically look at the picture for it.  Welp, here's the problem with that:

See it?

Picture says raspberry- description below it says strawberry.

Before I knew it, it was after 2pm so it was time to...sigh...meal prep.  God I hate that.  Like a lot.  It's nice to have grab and go stuff but the toll it takes on my feet even in shoes standing on a gel pad is considerable.  I went in and made our "egg thingys" which feels like it takes WAY longer than it should and I dread Sundays.  I suppose I would dread it less if my legs weren't in such a horrible state but yesterday it was knowing even after doing that, we still had a strength session to do.  The one I originally picked was friggin' laughable.  A 50 minute leg blaster but my train of thought was get it out of the way earliest in the week.  Instead we knocked 10 minutes off and did LIIFT4 leg day which was half weights/half cardio.  It didn't feel great but eh.  We came up and had BBQ Chicken Flatbread and had that last of that God awful liquid vegan cheese that I never want to pass my face hole again and asparagus so I'm sure we'll be gagging each other out with our asparagus wee overnight.  

I was surprised no one signed up for posts to go to the inbox since several people mentioned it in my 'why are you reading' post.  No skin off my booty but just know if you preferred that way a few years ago, it's an option again,  Go to Friday's post for directions.

What did you do this weekend?
