Happy Weekend

Still not able to upload photos.  Error and closes application.  Strange.  It's either the blog or my computer.  I'll give it a bit to see if I can it to work before I type everything out.  Much more fun with pictures.

I finished Austin Channing Brown's book -- I'm Still Here.  Very good, quick read, eye opening.  I have another couple of books on white supremacy and racism on order.  More to come.  This is my continued commitment to educate myself on how to be a better person -- it's starts with learning what you don't know you don't know.

Next up ... The Giver of Stars (Jojo Moyes).  I ordered in large print by mistake and the book is HUGE.  It's hard to hold it LOL.  Guess my muscles have atrophied in quarantine (!!)  

I tried the Hoka running shoes on the treadmill yesterday and I really like them.  We'll see how they hold up as I start back to running (fingers crossed on both).  I'm going to do another low impact cardio workout on OBE today.  

Having a ROUTINE in quarantine is helping.  The exponential growth is extremely concerning here in GA and my butt is STAYING HOME.  I'm super limited with things to do and I fight the blues on the regular.  This weekend, I'm starting the videos for Enneagram -- that's something I'm looking forward to watching. I've been "saving" them and I hope they're as good as I expect.  Expectations can be dangerous haha!

My back has "recovered" from the long walk (good lord) and I want to continue adding that into my weekly rotation.  Being outside feels good.  Maybe tomorrow, definitely next week as the new podcasts drops.

I have FOUR Pete's Paleo meals to finish up.  I'm ready to be finished with them.  They're the "loser" ones I keep pushing to the back.  Since I don't have much to do, I'm enjoying cooking for myself, getting creative with last bits to use up.  I had 2 medium yukon gold potatoes to finish so I mandolined them super thin, soaked them for 4 hours and oven cooked them until they were like potato chips.  Ketchup and sriracha mixed for a dip and WOW -- so so so good!!

I've been having an afternoon smoothy with frozen Costco organic berry mix, leftover bananas I sliced and froze and leftover veggies.  The vitamix purees anything and everything.  Other than a funky color, you'd never know there were veggies too (spinach, zucchini). 

Hope you have a happy weekend -- safe and well.  Later gators.
