Good afternoon!
Got up and did my workout first thing, made a big frittata for Earl and I for breakfast, then got a nice hot bath with Epsom salts. Actually, the tub is in the but the shower part isn't done so we HAVE to take baths this week. And I figure if I'm getting in anyway, might as well enjoy the water for a bit. It's been a nice little luxury in the mornings. I've got my sheets washed and in the dryer and will put those on shortly. I cooked a big pot of white beans and ham for the kids for lunch and will probably fix myself a shake soon. I don't require myself to have a shake every day, but often, it's something simple that fits my plan and tastes good so I do. Especially the mint chocolate chip version. We're trying to get plenty of protein in with the strength training we are doing.
Max and I went to Aldi to check out their Simply Nature items and see what our store actually carries. I forgot about looking for the pasta sauce and noodles but found some of the other items. On the way, we used the last of my Sbux gift card and got a small white mocha for me and apple juice for Max. He thought he was big stuff going with mom. We got some flowers at Aldi, yellow roses with a narrow red edge for our table, and a mixed bunch for our friend Jess who is so kind to our kids. We ran those by her work and surprised her. We also went to the health food store for cream, butter, and white vinegar. I have been reading recently how regular store white vinegar is made from GMO corn, so I will be using that for cleaning but an organic version for my chicken stock or cooking.
This afternoon, I plan to get some things done around here. General pick up, making vitamin C gummies for the kids, etc... .
Have a great weekend, everyone!
