Goblin Weekend

I'd like to see Goblin weekends become a thing. Think of it. You work hard to make your home a pleasant place to be, right? Why now have a whole weekend where you don't leave the place you work so hard to be able to have? And if it's consistently over 100 degrees in your area, you're also enjoying the A/C you're paying for. It's a nice time to relax, reset, and prepare for any craziness the week may throw at you. 

My fella and I enjoyed our goblin weekend. We ran all of our respective errands on Friday (laundry, groceries, library, and liquor store for me, laundry and groceries for him), then spent the rest of Friday and most of Saturday napping on the couch, watching shows and movies (Garfield and friends, Twister, Armageddon, Godzilla, Godzilla King of the Monsters, Grabbers, and Aliens), and eating. Friday we had our standard charcuterie board (summer sausage, 4 kinds of cheese, pretzels, crackers, and feta stuffed olives) and Saturday I made a Mediterranean dip and pasta salad. I'm focusing on eating more veg and lean proteins, so Mediterranean foods are VERY good juju for me right now. My fella is going to be focusing on his diet as well soon, tho his seems much more intense than mine. We want to spend a long time together, so focusing on making healthy habits now seems like a good thing to do. My trainer guy will be getting me a workout plan sometime next week, and in the meantime I've started doing cardio again and got myself a yoga DVD from the library to kinda kick start myself. 

Yummy foods. I added tuna to the pasta salad for some protein.

First time I'd ever cooked for the fella and I chose new recipes. LOL. I'd say they were a success, tho. I appreciate the fact that he doesn't mind eating lots of veg.  

So thanks to Saturdays cooking, I have leftovers for the week. I will also boil some eggs to supplement, therefore having MORE protein at lunch. Dinners will likely be scrounged or more charcuterie style. I also just found a video on an Italian vegetarian ragu that looked AMAZING. Not sure what I'd have for protein on the side... maybe a breaded chicken boob. I'm looking forward to the fall when I can start using my oven again! It's just too hot to run it now. 

So that was my weekend of lazy goblining. Today I'm reading a book, boiling my eggs, and having leftover pad Thai for lunch. I also did a bit of cleaning, prepared my outfits (work and gym) for the week, and tonight I will have a leisurely shower where I might even de-fuzz my legs! Lol. My apt complex may make me crazy with their rules, pool consistently being broken, lack of communication, inability to fix anything, and unprofessional emails, but I do like my little apt. It's cozy. Hugs friends, stay cool, stay hydrated, and try your own goblin weekend sometime. 😁
