Good morning! We are headed for a hot day. Yesterday's 86 may be cool compared to today. We have a brief cool down next week but I think we are finally in Spring.
We just could use some rain here. We missed out on all the storms this week. My grass is starting to turn brown:(
Everyone stay in the cool @epcotisbest and stay warm @betty rose ! Have a great weekend everyone!!

So yesterday's meatloaf means today's leftovers. This big ole omelette today with peppers and cheese added to the leftovers in the omelette. And of course topped with hot sauce. Meatloaf sandwiches for lunch and probably meatloaf tacos for dinner. Good thing I like leftovers.
No, I did not eat all of this big breakfast. Made it big enough to share and we both had half.

Yum!! We did meatloaf and veggies (green beans and corn on the cob) the other night. I'm sad...I'm craving Brussels Sprouts, but they are out of season, so the stores don't have them. I need a spring/summer vegetable!!
Yeah, I look forward to our little, local farmer's market opening where the old timers bring their bounty to sell, and at great prices too. And last year the first of the home grown tomatoes were ripe on July 2. My favorite, home grown tomatoes. Just nothing else compares, at least to me. I love them. One of my favorites is just a plain ole white bread sandwich with lots of mayo, sliced tomatoes, salt and pepper. Or even better a sausage biscuit with tomatoes, mayo, salt and pepper.
Since I have cut way, way back on bread, I suppose I won't be having either of those very often, but you can bet I will ever now and then as a treat.

Howdy. I did LS 3 mile body fat burn walk. I really liked it, but I have to be careful with the leg lifts. Her laugh was driving me BATTY....then I figured out she sounds like Delores Umbridge!!
I wish I had some wrist/ankle weights and a yoga mat. I guess I will have to ask for them for mother's day.

I wish I liked tomatoes and cucumber. Both of those seem to be in abundance in the spring and summer, and most people love them...I don't like either. And I don't like condiments, so at least I don't have to worry about cutting those out!

Way to go! Yes, she gets to be a bit much sometimes but much better than Chalean. BTW for that one you can use small dumbells but don't go over 3 pounds start with one or 2 pounds much cheaper than wrist weights. I think I paid about 2.50 each for 3 pound ones.

Yeah, and I like that the moves are so simple. With the Turbo Jam, there was a huge learning curve. It took a while to learn some of the moves and if I hadn't done a particular workout in a while, I had to relearn how to do the hard ones. But this workout pretty much used simplified versions of the moves I've done in TJ, like the leg lifts and the side step with the little twist. So it was really easy to follow. I'm looking for cheapy weights. It's not something that's available everywhere here.

There very easy to find here in the states. If you have no luck before you get here something else you'll be able to get.

Today's lunch left over guilt free spicy soup. It's good for the lazy in me also LOL Water saute 3 good sized onions thinly sliced and a few cloves of crushed garlic add in 2 bags sliced peppers, then a couple of cans of diced tomatoes, red pepper, black pepper, cumin, basil and oregano to taste. I'm not very hungry but need something in my system:hilarious: At least I'm not feeling cold now!:joyfull:

Sounds good. I'm by myself tonight because hubby had to pick the kids up from his parents' house after work and they just ate there, so I decided to do a shortcut tonight and pan fried my chicken instead of baking it because otherwise it takes so long. YUCK. I'm not used to the taste of pan fried chicken breast anymore and it just tasted so greasy and gross. At least my butternut squash was fantastic.

These have arrived! Always exciting when these get here. In a few short weeks, SSR here we come. Eight days, no real plans other than pool time, reading and bicycle riding. Might go to the Flower and Garden Festival. Might not. Might go to SeaWorld. Might not. Might relax a lot. No, will relax a lot. Might go outlet shopping. Oh, who am I kidding? My wife will make sure we go outlet shopping.
Also plan to visit some of the new stuff opening at DS since we can just walk over there any evening. We tend to always go to DS at least once, but usually multiple times per trip.

I did a 10 minute Pilates warm-up today and then did the fat burning 3 mile walk...same one I did yesterday. Eventually I want to add on...I'm new to Pilates and the warm up is really easy. But eventually, I want to be able to do the walk and then a 10 minute ab workout after that, alternating on days...one day the abs, one day a 30 min Pilates workout, which is why I got the yoga mat. Then once I can do all that, I'd like to try some other things so I don't get bored doing the same things over and over, and I'm told that helps with plateaus, too...that if you constantly change it up, your body doesn't have time to get used to any one thing, which is why you plateau. Thoughts, advice, tips?

I wish I had some good suggestions for you. In my case, all I really like is walking--especially walking in the woods. Being outdoors makes me happy and I never get bored, because there's always something different to see. Winter is really fun with the snow; I like traipsing through it (I don't like ice, but I love snow). Actually I do get some upper muscle workout in winter when I shovel snow, too. :) Sometimes, in spring or fall, I'll ride my bicycle one day on the weekends. During the work week, I walk a lot, too, between public transportation connections, and I sometimes I walk around a lot at work in different locations. That's about it for me.

I don't do the exercise videos like you and Figgy do. Maybe @figmentfan423 might have some suggestions for you, as you two tend to mix things up with exercise videos at home.
