Kathy cleaning out a pantry is a great feeling.

Chris I am sorry she is still testing positive. I know she is a good friend.

I got in a little upper body. Need to increase the length.

Shelley

Chris so much better than boring exercise. Avoiding spies! Great job.

Paula you are so right. Maxwell Smart.

Worked out for almost an hour. With FitOn. It was great. Loving this app.

Shelley

Completed two FitOn workouts a kettle bell ab workout from Tic Tok and got in over 10,000 steps.

I’m with you Shelley I love these workouts. Having lunch with two close friends today. We’re going to Salata. It a salad restaurant with over 50 fresh ingredients so you can customize. It’s very good and very healthy if you are careful with your selections.

Kathy

Chris it probably is the end of morning naps sadly. They do grow up. We had 40 mile gusts yesterday. Hate that.

Kathy it was after 1000 when I finally finished up tonight. Have to get in some workouts tomorrow.

They closed their seafood counter at 5:00 at Albertsons tonight. Good thing I have a few clams still for my fish. Second time I tried to get some this week. Will try again tomorrow.

Shelley

Completed another morning stretching exercise and a back, arms abs workout.

Kathy

Kathy you are rocking it. You got this.

Did a great workout, same as Kathy. Then had to order clams from a local store. Our Albertsons keep closing before 5:00 Grrr. I need to get in more steps today. Happy weekend all.

Shelley

Happy Saturday ladies! I had a really busy week at work. I'm in the middle of transitioning into the bigger role and still doing my old job until I backfill myself which should be shortly. About to promote my Europe leader to take my old job :-) but it's super intense. I had to be in the office every day this week which is really unusual. I'm usually home at least two days which allows me to exercise. Not so much this week. Super glad it's the weekend and I can actually get some working out in.

I went to the movies last night with my sister to see Mean Girls. She lives with all men and they were not interested. It was cute. Definitely enjoyable. Nice to get out after a crazy week.

Bella is struggling around getting some of their homework assignments done. Really challenging. Going to let them feel the pain of failure if that's what they choose to do. Extremely hard for me to do that, but they're not going to learn any lessons if we are always pushing them harder than they are pushing themselves.

I'm looking for some new recipes to make. I found this list which I think is really good. I would definitely lighten up a lot of these recipes and probably use less cheese :-) but passing this on in case anybody is looking for ideas.
https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/g3166/cheap-easy-recipes/. I'm going to try the Mexican beef and rice, the taco casserole, chicken lettuce wraps and the twice baked chicken sweet potatoes. Really easy recipes and I think very versatile to scale up or down/add less cheese ect.

I'm getting to the gym this morning or maybe going outside and doing a real nice long couple mile walk. I can't tell if it's raining yet because it still too dark :-)

I'm a little concerned because I have a almost 2-week business trip coming up at the end of the month. That's going to be extremely difficult to figure out eating and exercise. Really need to have my A game on to try to maneuver. Have to put some thought and planning around that now. Going to Belgium, Germany and Hungary. Should be a really good trip, but exhausting and very long hours. Frankly there's always a lot of socializing and drinking as well which doesn't make it easy.

Will hope everybody has an amazing day!

Karen
