Not My Usual Monday

Big week ahead chopped full of things I'm not exactly looking forward to -- starting today with a new dentist. Not my usual Monday love.

A week of ick-ish and lots of "chores" and hopefully a weekend of fun with the kids in Asheville. 

Best thing is to "eat the frog first" where I can, don't give thoughts to other things (I see you, dentist appointment) and find some fun here and there.

The hike was good yesterday -- felt challenging but I feel good today. Could the creatine be helping with recovery?!?!? Between the creatine, adding protein to my diet and the testosterone cream, I'm expecting to be a different person in 6-8 weeks. Kind of kidding, but also not. If I don't feel changes, I need to re-evaluate. 

I made another batch of the veggie soup because I had so many leftovers and I didn't want anything to go to waste. Something about eating fresh vegetable soup feels good. Freezer is full.

Along with the dentist appointment, I have a long list of stuff to get done today that doesn't make me happy. Getting it done and dusted does make me happy though. I already did a couple of things this morning to ease the dreads about this week. Keeping a list and a schedule helps a lot. Getting a little ahead on the list is a mental game that also helps. 

On a fun note, I booked (actually hubby's idea) a 4 day trip to Hilton Head with a girlfriend in November to use up timeshare points. It'll be a birthday celebration trip for her. She's the gf who cancels a lot, but if she does, I have zero issue going alone. I almost made it a solo trip. This is nice because I don't care about that outcome -- come or don't, either way will be great. Beach walks, Savannah, Historic Beaufort, shopping, good food -- can't wait. This is the 3rd year in a row. Maybe a tradition.

That's all from here. Hope you're set for a good week. Later gators.
