It was a very nice holiday weekend! Friday and Saturday were usual chores and shopping days. Sunday was filled with food, family and laughter (and a hellofalotta work!). Monday was my veggin day. After our 3 mile walk with the dogs, I just relaxed for the day.
The neighborhood was suprisingly quiet for the weekend even though several houses had family visiting.
Our dogs were perfect gentleman while we had guests. Sometimes they just do me proud. We had about 20 people or so at the house on Sunday. They were very gentle with the little ones and overall very-well behaved.
Oh, one of the best parts of the weekend...I had the den rearranged and got the bowflex in the house. I can't stand to see that expensive item outside where no one is using it. Took about 2 hours, but we got it in, set up, and in a place that it isn't in the way BONUS.
I am going to use it tonight, want to learn how all the positions work.
My husband is learning to cook some things. That's a good thing! We do, however, get into arguements regarding ingredients. For him, nothing is better than the brand he grew up in, regardless that it is considered a specialty item and costs twice as much as the same product in a different package. This time it was about kidney beans. The specialty brand is chock full of salt and is very pricy. The organic store brand is much cheaper and has about the the 3rd amount of salt. Same goes with the tomato sauce. Some things you can only get as a specialty brand, but most of it can be swapped for something cheaper and local. I can argue this until I am blue in the face, it doesn't always sink in for him.
I guess that's the catch up. Hope all my buddies had a fantastic weekend and a quick MoTuesday!

Was sure looking forward to going to the gym yesterday, but life stepped in. Crushing on a project that will be release in a few days. Ended up putting in a 12 hour day. So get this...
My drive home was awful, took about 2 hours. Finally get home, really looking forward to going in the house, cuddling with the animals, grabbing a bite to eat, then hitting the bed. Well, I get home...and I can't get in the house! Someone had locked the interior laundry room door. We have a keyless lock on the exterior door, so I don't have to fuss with keys, but it doesn't do any good if the interior passage door is locked. I had to wait 45 minutes for the DH to come home and unlock the front door with a key (which I don't have).
We have narrowed down the pool of suspects, someone is going to have ears ringing when I finish yelling at them. Seriously, I was getting eaten alive outside...bugs just love that translucent skin where you can see all the veins.
Anyhow, no time to do anything but grab a bite and jump into bed. Today is ThurFday (that odd combination of Thursday and Friday), so I can deal. Nice long holiday weekend is here, and we have a family gathering planned for Sunday. Weather looks agreeable. Might even take the dogs for a run tomorrow morning before the heat sets in.
Well, enjoy your weekend Buddies, check back with you on MoTuesday (that odd combination of Monday and Tuesday).

Today is....yup...SPIKE Day!
Already, a co-worker was passing around donuts...yes Please!
Really sore today in the inner part of both elbows and the inner part of both knees. See what increasing weights in BodyPump will do for you?
I expect the full soreness to arrive tomorrow. Usually I don't feel too sore the day after a workout, its the day after that.
Still, I don't think the weights are heavy enough yet. From what I read, the last reps should be near impossible to finish...I was able to easily finish all the routines that included weights. My only trouble came with planks and lunges (lunges because I am a clutz!).
Hopefully the rains staves off until I get the dogs walked. We are expecting severe thunderstorms this afternoon.
The rest of the weekend looks a bit more promising weather wise.
Have a good weekend Buddies!
