Hi, friends!  Today is going to be a SUPER short post.  I’m currently blogging from Starbucks because I finally got smart and went to Starbucks after getting up.  I love my husband I do, but when he works from home on Fridays, he drives me nuts.  Every Friday I say I’m going to get out of the house and every Friday I end up super annoyed every time he interrupts me to ask me a question.  I’m starting to realize that despite working from home when we have kids I’m going to need child care.  I don’t think I’ll be one of those super moms that work from home and caring for the kids; I don’t know how some of you do so much throughout the day.  I can barely deal with Nala and the cat…..

Anyways, FYI this week’s meal plan went live this morning because I know it’s Easter and many of you may have trouble meal planning.  I suggest getting your meal prep and plan done I Saturday this week; it will help I promise!

Friday No Fitness

• Friday – chiropractor/off
• Saturday – lifting session
  • I did step ups to reverse lunges (so step up on the right and then lunge back with the right leg) – 10 on each (50#), 12 on each (#45), 15 on each (#35), 20 on each (BW) with sets of 10 leg lifts in between
  • Then I did 10 minutes of 30 seconds calf raises, 30-second jump rope, 30 seconds bent leg jack knifes
• Sunday – If you read my solo hiking adventure story you already know I messed up my ankle, and given my existing shoulder impingement, I said screw it.

• Monday – Chiropractor/OFF
• Tuesday- OFF
• Wednesday – OFF
• Thursday – went for a walk with Nala and Mr. Hungry – my ankle seem to have held up, but I’m still babying it a bit – it hurt so bad I’m suffering some trauma
• Friday Favorites

I realized this morning I don’t have a ton of new finds or favorite this week, I was more focused on hobbling around and getting through the week.  I am loving the Grande Blonde Roast I’m currently sipping on, but the sign of a toasted coconut cold brew is also calling my name for later FOR SURE.

This morning I tried this combination of 5 ounces cottage cheese, 1/4 cup oatmeal, 2T raisins, and a splash of almond milk.  I’ve been breakfast this breakfast on Tina’s blog recently and last night decided to throw the ingredients this morning.  I LOVE raisins in anything, so I would say it was a winner!

Since it’s 90 degrees here already (UGHHHHHHHHHHHH), La Croix’s are now stocked again in my refrigerator!
