What I'm Reading This Week #33

Good morning to you!  Friday is finally here and that's a good reason to take a hooky day.  You know, for mental health reasons. 😁 Remember when it felt like you had to give an actual excuse when you wanted to call in back in the day?  Then if you said you were sick and you really just wanted to go to lunch, a movie and maybe hit the grocery store on the way home, you had to pray you didn't run into anyone from work to bust you, like it was illegal or something.  🙄  I guess that's something that's changed for the better is not having to lie about why you're out.   The workouts this week have been absolutely kicking our butts!  We thought the band workout was hard then I was like "we should do Powerstrike to see where we are".  Remember that dream sequence in Dumb and Dumber where Lloyd puts the dude's heart in a doggie bag, folds it up and hands it to the guy?  It was like Powerstrike doing that with our asses.  Then the followi...

What I'm Reading This Week #18

Welp, it's the first Friday of May already.  Everyone always gripes about winter but no one realizes when we finally come out of Mother Nature's springly mood swings the year is close to half over.  It's getting too warm for this winter girl already.  *begins Fall countdown*

We were in a bit of a cleaning frenzy this week and I had help from the chiro to get things stretched back out again.  Between him and my slant board, hopefully my calves will one day get that I plan to stand as long as I like without any lip from them!

Let's say we get to:




What Is Zone 2 Cardio, and Does It Live Up to All the Hype?  (Let's find out!  Thankfully I can glance at my watch and get an idea if I'm close)


How to Build Endurance for a Stronger Heart and Muscles  (Got to do it!  Especially since puh puh puh puh pa puh pumps your blood!  This is only second to Fonzie jumping the shark.)

How to declutter your home: a comprehensive, room-by-room guide  (I need to, big time.  I've got some drawers that are a mess and hoping these bad boys can help me at least get stuff wrangled.)

How to Start Small Rituals That Make Every Day Feel Special  (I think most of us could use this!)

7 Reasons Your House Always Looks Messy  (Because I don't clean it??  Actually, I did get one of these that helps tremendously with cleaning the bathroom without putting my back into fits the next day!  Now I just need to use it more!)

The Best Sleeping Positions for Your Specific Sleep Issues, According to Experts  (My side sleeping has caught up with me in the form of rotator cuff tendinitis according to the chiro so I need to find a new position...or pillow.)

How to Be There When Mother’s Day Isn’t Easy  (A BIG shout out to these companies that ask you if you'd like to opt out of Mother's Day promotion emails so you're not traumatized in your grief.  Father's Day as well in this house but for completely different reasons.)

How to Turn IKEA Alex drawers into Shaker drawers (Man this looks awesome but I have zero motivation to put as much effort into that right now. Sharing it in case someone else does!)

Stephen King names the horror movie he couldn't sit through as he was too scared  (People now will never understand that the brilliant marketing had never been done before and we all thought what we were watching was real.  Sooo, sorry reboot/sequel, it will never live up to the original because you can't recreate the hook that brought people in!)

Miss a post this week?  Catch up below!



The Mr and I agree it's road trip time.  We're tired of sitting around the house or knocking small stuff off the honey do list.  (You know, like me finally taking Christmas down from the bedroom two weeks ago? 😳)  So hopefully a little self care/mental health refresh on the books this weekend!

What are your weekend plans?  Any mental health breaks in your future?  

(This ain't rhetorical, y'all!  I miss seeing ya in the comments!)

    I hope you guys have a wonderful time getting into all kinds of tomfoolery over the weekend!
    We just have the usual stuff going on between chores, work, and church this weekend. It's mighty warm for May, but it's cool enough in the mornings to have the windows open which feels great.
    Have a super weekend!

    Do the slant boards work well? My calves get tight too. The doctor gave me a few stretches to try especially after a run or walk. This weekend is rainy so we are binge watching TV.

      I *love* mine! I do need to use it more than I do but I start at the 20% and I stand on it for no less than a full minute but try to do two. This especially helps me after a long walk where my dogs are barking to stretch my plantar fascia as well. The chiropractor is very happy I got one. When I'm on a roll, I do it morning, midday and an hour after a workout when my muscles try to contract. Chiro said I've gained over 5% more dorsiflexion in 3 weeks! (Wow, the stuff that makes you happy as an adult 😂)
