A quickie.

Just a quick "hello" since I'm sitting at my computer thinking away lol.

The gas shortage is no longer an issue - hallelujah.  Now if Trader Joe's gets the frozen riced cauliflower back - my world will be right again.  Since a tank fill-up is now possible, I ran a bunch of errands before finishing my house chores.  Back to spoiled gas gluttony.

And my to-do list is done.  Yea me.

Planning the weekend.  Workout room 24 hours at hotel - check.  Refrigerator - no luck.  That means breakfast will be an issue.  I refuse to do carbs for breakfast.  I'll have to search for some options (time will be tight all 3 mornings) - not great news.  I'm actually thinking tuna pouches ... over-the-top??  Maybe.  I bought a few protein bars I really like - healthy beef stick basically.  Delicious - but watch the breath - knock off your socks (for hours!).  Tuna and beef stick - what's better for a couple's trip lol.

I tried on a couple of the staples in my closet.  Everything fit.  Maybe I'm just being strange about "gaining."

Since I know the scale is a no-no for me right now, I need a way to measure changes - bring on the fat pincher.  I was doing some research and came across a blogger (fitness trainer).  His message aligns with what I'm learning and he recommended the product.  (Plastic thing for $8.)  This doesn't carry any previous baggage for me, so I thought I'd use it as a tool.  My instructor suggested the same thing.  Stay tuned ...

My run was most very excellent.  I only do cardio two days and I miss it.  It's like an old friend.  I listened to the HAPPIEST song for some of the run - it's good.

And a happy little find today.  I've been drinking my peach tea again (thinking it was caffeinated so limiting it to one diluted cup).  When I bought it today (can only find it at Sprouts), I noticed it's caffeine free. OMG.  Bring on the peach tea!  And I found a few new ones to try.  (I'm happily sipping an iced cup of it now.)

My new recipe is scheduled for Wednesday.  Shrimp scampi and citrus cauliflower "rice."  W30 approved and looks amazing.  I'll be using my new grill pan for those shrimp - perfect.  Tonight is the last night of Thai (I'm ready to be done - I should have frozen some of it).

I have a bit of a shopping bug happening.  (Scaring my hubby!!)  Nothing expensive, but I need to pull it in a bit.  Amazon prime is just too easy.  I paid bills today and OUCH.  I will be doing my pictures upstairs still.  Frames are expensive, but I'll wait for a sale at Michaels.  And we have our family photos in November.  My Happiness Project takes some $$$ lol.

I already know what I want for Christmas (very unusual of me!).  Weight lifting bar with a few extra plates and a good spiralizer.  I have a hand-held, but it doesn't work well.  The counter ones aren't expensive and I know I'll get great use out of it.  All set.  That will make hubby happy - he stresses over Christmas ideas.

Time to go do some reading.  I need to make progress on the WW2 book.  It's good, but I keep back-burnering it. War and Peace is waiting AND I have the new W30 book coming next week (yep - amazon prime).

Later gators.
