Today is my last workout for the week AND my last workout as a 46 year old. Circuit with an emphasis on cardio. Yesterday's lift was a bit better than the arm day before. Maybe I'm climbing out of the slump. But lordy, my arms are sore!
Fun fact - I LOVE that I was born in 1970 - makes age calculating so easy!
The day is par for the usual these weekends. Grocery store, prep for picnic tomorrow and a grill-out tonight. Burgers and such. Then a relaxing night watching a home movie - my pick. I don't have any ideas yet, but I have Will Smith's Concussion from Netflix ... hint, hint ... nobody's giving the thumbs up, but it's MY birthday weekend!
Normally, I'd be pissed to put together my birthday picnic, cupcakes, etc. Two days a year (Mother's Day and my birthday) should be different. But, I can't expect anyone to accommodate my food choices right now. That would put them over the edge. So it's all me ... again. They got lucky this year AND last year, now that I thing about it, since I was at the firewalk. (There IS credit in the bank from a great Mother's Day brunch.)
On the food note -- I've announced to my little world that I'm currently on a Whole30. Accountability. I need it this go around. Summer nights on the deck ... makes me want to kick back with a glass of wine and some munchies. 30 days. Now actually 24 days. Yea (it's flying) and ugh (not really) all at the same time.
This morning's sleep was weird. I woke up far too early (even though I need to get up early) so I stayed in bed. Promptly fell asleep and had the strangest, most vivid dream. I actually wish I could have finished out the dream. Whole30 gives you some wild ones! But an alarm during that phase of sleep - it's like I'm still dreaming. Maybe dreaming ME does better with typos. I need to proofread more - and I need stronger glasses ... right back to the older thing again. (I just noticed a bunch so now it's a thing.)
I'm super into cold brewed coffee this summer. I put my flavored decaf grounds into a big glass jug overnight, strain with a mesh strainer and a paper towel and BAM. Delicious cold brewed coffee. Add ice, pour into my pretty pink bubble glass and enjoy. It's a softer, less bitter result. It lasts for a few days in the refrigerator.
Busy day today which is good. Yesterday was positively the SLOWEST afternoon ever. I was gathering my stuff to get ready for bed and it was only 6:45! That's even too early for me. I watched a few episodes of Red Oaks until it was respectable to go to bed. P.S. Red Oaks is a fun comedy (with some occasional serious) that takes place in the mid-80's. The music is great, the 80's are great, actors are fantastic -- definitely recommend it. It's free with Amazon Prime.
On this last day of 46, my INTENTION today should be profound, but it's not. Simply STAY BUSY. Up early + up late (movie night) = long day to make good choices. This is a red zone weekend and I need to be aware and careful. Busy helps the time move along. Good lord, it has to be faster than yesterday! Maybe profound for tomorrow. Later gators.
I almost forgot the picture of my "skinny" pup. Summer hair with layers 💗
