Weekend Wrap Up!

Good Monday morning, friends! I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was... eh. I didn't really do a whole lot. And I can't even show you pictures of all the uninteresting things I did because we can't get our camera to work. I think part of the reason my weekend was so ho-hum was because I wasn't really craving/needing a break from work since last week we only had school about two and a half days! (Stupid snow and ice.) I am really looking forward to getting back into my normal schedule. 

So instead of a breakdown of each day like I normally do, I am just going to list some random thoughts/things about the weekend. Maybe next weekend we will actually do something exciting, our camera will work, and I will have a wonderful weekend for you to read about...

1. I rediscovered the show Will & Grace. Boy, was that show funny! It's now added to my DVR. (Do you know it airs about 10 times a day?)

2. On Thursday night (I know, not technically the weekend, but I have to share this with you!), Paul cut the biggest butt knot off of Jelly that you ever did see. This butt knot was at least two months in the making. See, Jelly was laying on my lap, on his back, legs sprawled open. He was in a trance. Paul got the scissors and sliced it clean off. We marveled at the huge-ness of the butt knot, then I assumed Paul threw it away. Except he didn't. He put it on the refrigerator...

Lucky for you, we got a pic of it before our camera broke.

3. Paul and I have a new show to watch during dinner. Judge Judy. It's the kind of show that really makes you feel better about your own problems. But sad news. Paul informed me that he's done watching the show. He says it makes him feel dirty. Hmmm...

4. I made a scrumptious pasta salad on Saturday. Ingredients: whole wheat penne pasta, fresh tomatoes, black olives, frozen broccoli, sweet peppers, turkey bacon, lite zesty Italian dressing, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. I add chicken to mine and Paul adds feta cheese to his. 

5. I've been struggling with my nutrition lately. Apparently, my hunger and my cravings have not gotten the message that I can't do my normal HIIT type workouts that really keep me in the shape I like to be in. The good news is that I am now able to get on the arc trainer and work for 45 minutes at 85% of the resistance/intensity that I could before my surgery. THIS IS HUGE. I am hoping it helps me get back in the swing of things nutrition wise and I can focus on FUELING my body rather than having a party in my mouth every night. So hopefully, now that I can do proper cardio and low impact interval training, I can get my head on straight again. More on this topic tomorrow...

6. Sunday afternoon was spent attending a Girls on the Run training. I don't know if I told you this, but I will be co-coaching a Girls on the Run team this spring. I'll also post more about this later on in the week!

7. Have you seen the movie Bad Grandpa? Don't. We made it through almost half hour before we shut it off. Honestly, I'm surprised we made it that far! If you never heard it, it's one of those "Jackass Presents" movies starring Johnny Knoxville. Annnnnnd now you're probably laughing at us for trying it!

Sorry for the lack of original pictures! I am sure you were hoping for a couple snapshots of the cats, but no kitty glamour shots until we figure out what is going on with our camera.

I hope your weekend was more exciting than mine!

What's your favorite type of pasta salad?

Do/did you watch Will & Grace?
