Friday Roundup

As Friday arrives I find myself looking forward to a day of rest tomorrow, before my week starts anew on Sunday.  It's been a very busy week.  I've been out of the house every day this week. Went to the center on Monday, exercised, took a wellness class and ate a delicious lunch. 

On Tuesday I headed for the bank to get the rest of the money to pay bills.  I could go to a teller and get it all at once, but I like using the ATM....and besides, it gives me an opportunity to get out of the house.  Headed into Walgreens to check out the magazines and then did a bit of food shopping before heading home.

On Wednesday I went to the center again.  Taught my first class, and  I think it went fairly well.  There were some in class extremely interested, and then there were those who had no idea what I was talking about despite my breaking it all down for them.  One elderly man took the opportunity to nap during class.  That's to be expected though.  The fact is that for several of the class members it's their first shot at expanding their minds since they retired.  And the fact is, at least they attend, listen, and ask questions.  That's a lot more than they did at the old center I attended.  All they wanted to do was play bingo and cards....day after day.  

Another fantastic lunch was served.  

Pork loin with pineapple, polenta, and baby carrots.  My first time having polenta, and I loved it.   I also love the fact that they fill your plate with lots of vegetables.  Good and healthy.

Headed to my WW workshop yesterday.  No weigh in.  I wore my heavier clothes.  I like people seeing that I have more than one outfit to wear--my weigh in outfit for two years.  I'm surprised the pants are still holding together, but then again, they do take a break in summer when I wear my sundresses.  

Bought a new cookbook at WW.  Have all of their cookbooks.  I guess you could say that's another of my many addictions--cookbooks.  I couldn't put it down last night.  Mexican is one of my favorite foods...along with Italian and Middle Eastern.  Lots of awesome new recipes to try.

This morning I am off for a full day at the center.  Chair exercise in the morning, lunch, and then 2 hours of jewelry making.  A fun day ahead.  Hubby wants to go pick out our new mattress, go out to eat, and then head to a movie on Sunday, but the way the weather looks now, I don't know how much of that we will get done.  Will just have to play it by ear.  

Have a wonderful weekend.
