Good morning!
It's a beautiful morning and promises to be a beautiful day. It will be a tad chilly as we are only expected to get to low 60s but then we will warm up over the next few days.
Today is shopping day! I have my menu and shopping list made up. My brother is coming over at 10 for his haircut, then we'll head out. We have to be back home by 12:30 to eat lunch before Alex goes to preschool so I may only have time to go to Costco (which is the farthest away) before school. I'll go to the other stores after dropping off Alex. Then I will be putting away stuff and reorganizing the fridge. I will also balance the checkbook. That is pretty much all I really have time for on Wednesdays.
Tonight Christie and Jordan have soccer practice, then Christie has a school event (that I will be going to also), and Jordan may have Scouts (haven't heard on that one yet). So supper will be early. I'm thinking chicken fajitas and spanish rice because I can make that ahead of time.
Somewhere in all of that I have to make bread. I've found I really like using my bread machine to mix, knead and rise, then take the dough out, shape it, put it in the pan, do second rise and then bake. That way I don't have to be paying attention to it so much and still get a nice shaped loaf of bread without the hole in the middle.
Tonight at 8, Steven (husband) and I will be going to the gym to work out. We are in our third week of exercising every other day. I started the Couch to 5K training program and am in the third week. Right now we are working on the habit of exercising and getting ourselves a little more fit. Another week and I'd like to start weight training on the days I don't run. I'm not sure I've lost any weight yet but that's not my primary focus right now. But I've noticed I'm sleeping better, I have more energy, and I feel better overall. So that alone is motivation enough. The weight loss will come in time.
Hope you all have a great day and for those of you who are in tornado alleys, stay safe!
