Some favorites from this weekend

A Quickie

Just a quick post since I have a lot to do this morning. We are leaving early for the lake so my Friday chores, that usually take me all day to do, have to be done in just a few hours. Hope everyone has a great weekend! If I'm lucky, maybe I'll get some photos to post on Monday :-)

The weekend cometh

Yes, today is finally the beginning of the weekend--well, sorta, after Mr gets off work.

I've had a pretty busy week with lots of errands to run. It's nice to get a lot done. There is certainly a sense of accomplishment with making a list and actually getting to mark things off of it!

One thing that I don't feel so jazzed about is my workout schedule. So far this week, amazingly, I have managed to work out twice. As you may remember, the workout goal is 4 times a week. I'm sorry to say that I haven't reached that goal in quite a few weeks. My being sick for so long set me back quite a ways, but this week there was no excuse except laziness. I will be working out today so that will be 3 times, but it's very discouraging to me to set a goal--a goal I've basically had no problem of reaching in weeks past--and fall short. For some reason my motivation is waning. Even though I have 5-7 more lbs. to lose to get to my goal, there is part of me that is content where I am. I am basically back into most all of my pants that I was in 2 years ago, but for some reason, I'm not back into my tops. It's weird how my body has changed since I've turned 40. You would think if I'm fitting into my pants, my shirts would also fit. That doesn't seem to be the case. We'll see what happens.

Don't forget to enter the giveaway posted in yesterday's post. The deadline for entering is Monday, April 6 before 9 a.m. Have a great weekend!

How I spent my weekend

So this is basically how I spent my weekend. I had a wicked sore throat that started late Friday night. When I woke up on Saturday, it was full-blown. Every time I swallowed it felt like razor blades in my throat. It was also in my neck so I figured I was well on my way to strep throat and had Mr look down my throat for white stuff. Thankfully, none ever came. Yesterday I still felt bad and slept almost all afternoon. When I woke up late afternoon, my sore throat and accompanying neck pain were gone. Today I'm feeling pretty good but still a little weak. Hopefully it's gone, but I'm going to take it kinda easy today just to be sure. It really sucks being sick, especially when Saturday was the prettiest day we've had so far.

In addition, last night we had our first tornado scare. The whole area was under a tornado watch or warning. While we were under the warning, it got a little scary here. Mr and I went outside to watch the sky and for a brief moment, it appeared there was a funnel trying to form. I'm terrified of tornados so thankfully the scare was brief, but I can't believe we're already having to worry about them this early into the season.
