What I'm Reading This Week #5

Hello there sassafras!   Happy last day of January.  I know a lot of people complain about January being long but as a winter girl, I'm not ready for 50's and zero possibility of snow.  Tis Friday and the week is hopefully wrapping up for y'all on the work front.  It has been a helluva week body wise as we acclimated back to some strength training and I walked in my Lems for the second time and it really did my gams in.  So I will be doing some lymph work to try to get my body flushing out some inflammation.  It always goes insane when we add strength back in but add that and new walking shoes that are completely not padded and you can guess how that feels!  Here were the workouts for the week:

Sunday- Floor Bike (60 minutes- 6500 steps)
Monday- Floor Bike/Walk (12K)

Tuesday- Floor Bike/LIIFT 4 Back/Bi's 50/50 (10K)
Wednesday- Floor Bike/ LIIFT 4 Legs 50/50 (10,300K)
Thursday- Floor Bike/Walk at Park (12K)

Friday- Floor Bike and whatever my body will allow to get me to 10K

There were two days I had to put in extra at the end of the day because I wasn't going to hit 10K but I got there.  I'll discuss more about that in Sunday's post.

Now let's discuss:

Just checking, are the Sunday posts being looked at/helping anyone?  It's one thing for me to get it in my head to plan out for us but if it doesn't help anyone else, I can drop 'em.  (I know I said initially it wouldn't be a weekly thing but still checking in.)  I think we're wallpapering this weekend if we get the attic hatch paint touched up.  He poly'd that thing 3x and it still got scratched up.  I will never EVER get $90/gal paint that everyone swears by ever again...you got me Monsieur Williams??  I don't know what else we might get into but we'll see as the day progresses Saturday.  I'll still be cookin' away.  All day.  Every day.  Beh.

Whatchu got planned for the weekend?
