How was everyone's weekend?  Calypso, did you get a chance to run at all over the weekend?  You are seriously inspiring me!

My weekend was good, but WAY TOO SHORT.  I didn't get much sleep, and I ate a lot of junky food, so I'm trying to detox today lol.  I am not drinking my morning soda (be proud...be very proud!), and I brought leftover pasta with veggies for lunch.  H and I are going to check out a new gym today.  I'm not a gym person at all, but I'm going to really, really try.  H misses his gym from school, so I think he'll be a good gym buddy for me.

    Happy Monday! We ended up with a busy weekend. H and I have been talking about redoing the cabinets in our bath and kitchen. He decided on Saturday that we were going to start working on the bathroom. We made some progress, but will be finishing up this week. I think we agreed that the we need to do some better planning before we tackle the kitchen, since that is a huge project. We're happy with the results so far. The finish of cabinets was in terrible shape. We also hit a great sale and got a new couch for a great price! We're stoked, because it's the first piece of furniture we've bought together (besides the nursery, the rest is hand-me-down), and we've really been wanting one like it!

    Resa, I'm not much of a gym person either, but my H enjoys it without being a gym rat. I think he toured every gym in the area when he moved in to find the perfect one. I can see how he would be a good gym buddy, so I imagine yours the same way.

    So did you get new cabinets, or refinish them?  That sounds like a big project, but one with lots of reward!  And congrats on the new couch!  H and I haven't bought any new furtniture together, either, so I can appreciate the excitement in actually picking out a couch. 

    Yeah, H is definitely not a gym rat, but he likes to get some exercise.  He wants to lift some weights, which is definitely not something I'm into, but he'll also do some cardio with me, I'm sure.

    Just refinishing the cabinets. They are physically in good shape, but the stain and laquer have been peeling for years--even before I moved in. It is a lot of work and a lot of payoff. H is Mr. DIY, so he has taken the lead on this one.

    Your H definitely sounds like mine when it comes to the gym. :)

    i ran/walked friday night (3.4 miles) and then did a 5 mile walk yesterday.  going to go again tonight - we are having seriously gorgeous fall weather here!  i really need to do weights, but id rather exercise outside when its nice - the gym will still be there when the weather gets gross.

    Resa, when you "eat clean" its amazing how bloat goes away and you just feel better.  try not eating any foods that contain ingredients you can't pronounce. 

    ive been off booze now for 2 weeks.  i feel much less sluggish.

    About eating clean -- I know!!  I am really trying to be good about this whole soda thing, and so far I'm doing okay.  Other than soda, I typically eat pretty healthy.  My trouble zone is DEFINITELY my waist, so all this research that suggest diet soda increasing waists has really gotten my thinking!!

    Good for y'all on the healthy eating.  I have such a hard time keeping up with that when H is away every week.

    I actually haven't eaten much of anything today.  When I started eating my breakfast I started feeling nauseated, so I've just not eaten anything else.  I'm not really hungry, either.  :/

    Weekend was AMAZING.  I bought tickets to the Dallas Whiskey and Fine Spirits Festival for H's birthday, so we went down to Dallas Saturday for that.  He loved it.  I'm not much of a whiskey drinker, so there wasn't much for me to do.  I felt pretty bad that he wasn't with someone who was more "into" the whole thing.

    Professor, that sounds like a fun weekend!  I'm not a whiskey drinker either, but otherwise sounds nice!  Even though you're not "into it" like your H, I'm sure it was really meaningful to him that you went and had a good time doing something that's not really your thing.

    Hi everyone! Today is our ONE YEAR anniversary! Surprised I can't believe how quickly it went! We went out to a nice dinner and wine bar last night (b/c the restaurant I wanted to go to wasn't open Mondays,) and today was SUCH gorgeous weather that I finally got around to painting our porch railing that has needed it all summer...
