What's on your (last) Monday (in August) menu?

Morning ~ Woke up with a migraine this morning and just now can open my eyes and focus without too much strain and pain. I have nausea, but that's not unusual so I'm home today. What a weekend. I got fitted for running shoes and ended up getting HOKA Clifton - I have been winging it for too long - these are amazing! No pound, can't even feel them they are so light and shock absorbing. Much nicer looking in person - colorful!

I didn't have a chance to break them in because I got the worst sun burn on my thighs - just the front thighs and I could barely move without feeling the pain, so jiggling thighs while running were not happening. Still had a fabulous time hanging with my sister in the pool - sunburn and all. Traveled to SoCal Saturday for Rob's uncles memorial - 115 degrees and 10 hours in a car was not fun, but I'm really glad we went. I love his family. Sunday, my son brought his girlfriend home to meet us - she is darling!! She said thank you for doing such a good job with him - I melted. She is dorky like us and fit right in. LOVE HER!

QOTD - If I like it and it speaks to me that is all I need. I gravitate towards peaceful calming scenes and colors but I surprise myself sometimes with bold things that strike me.

Food today is whatever sounds good - chicken broth and saltines really. And diet 7-up.

Have a good day everyone!

Aww, what a sweet girl she sounds like! Live the shoes and hope you feel better as the day goes on!

I hope the migraine feels better! Yay for new shoes and so glad meeting the girlfriend went so well.

Sorry about the migraine. I used to get them a lot, not so much now.
I want more feedback about your hokas. By the time I come back I will have reached the 400 mile mark and need to change the shoes. So let me know how you like them after a couple of runs.
So nice that the gf fits in with your family.

Will do!

I swear by my Hoka's. If your first Run isn't what you hoped for, give it another try. My 2nd run was way better. I am ready for a new pair myself. Waiting to find an Orange pair.
That's fantastic your getting along with your sons GF.

I will keep that in mind - thank you! I don't know which version of Hoka you wear, but the Clifton had a really cute orange pair:

Good morning!

Very lazy day ahead for me. Reading, puttering around the house and a pedi at 3. All I have to get in are my squats. I've been faithful everyday of August, but blew it and forgot on Saturday. I was so dang mad. Got them done yesterday, will today and tomorrow and then decide to continue. I truly do not like to exercise. I wish I did. But I do believe I see a difference in muscle tone quality in my legs, so that might encourage me to continue.

QoTD: a quick look around my house would make it seem we are not into art at all. I have only one piece of "art" up, one world map that we mark with places we've been, planning to go and on the wish list, and then a couple family photos. Pretty boring stuff.

Menu: After my big blow out on Saturday, I am really paying attention and pre planning for the week, so the options are lined up!

B: meatball and edamame noodles

L: chicken leg, chicharrons

D: pork chop, avo, red onion, haloumi

S: jerky or yogurt if needed

Peace everyone!

I always only exercised because I knew I had to. It's only since surgery that I have become one of those people that has to exercise daily or I get down/get stressed/etc.
