Scott was in California most of the week so a lot of my routines were disrupted. The girls and I did fine as usual. I just had to workout later in the day and figure out when to get my writing done. It was a pretty great week in the end though we did miss Scott. The end of the week brought the start of Halloween which is always fun!
Exercise
I got in 5 workouts this week - four boot camp classes and one barre3 class. I did some seriously hard work this week in boot camp and barre3 almost did me in. I lifted the heaviest weights I could and jumped the highest I could. I am so exhausted in a good way. I did get a little giddy in one boot camp class because I got to lift really heavy weights. We carried one dumbbell on our shoulder and one in our hand by our hips while walking across the room. It felt so powerful and I LOVED it. I really, really love working out.
I got my first Imperfect Produce order this week and it was AMAZING! The fruits and vegetables looked and tasted awesome. Maggie chomped into the apples right away and was so excited to try them.
My big problem this week was I got too much produce! I forgot I was getting the Imperfect Produce order so I still got my regular Full Circle and New Roots order. We have a lot of fruits and vegetables to eat right now. Luckily a lot is squash which tends to keep for awhile. I have plans to make a huge batch of squash soup for lunches next week to use some of them up!
I finished getting the girls set up for ski season. This is their first year taking lessons and trying out the sport. We rented skis, got helmets, arranged lift passes and figured out their clothing. I forgot how much gear is involved in skiing. I also hope to get on the slopes myself!
I spent a lot of time this week writing, knitting and reading - my three favorite activities. I'm making progress on my Master Knitting 1 certification and really buckling down. I finished a book and am halfway through another. It's the cozy time of the year where I love getting into my bed early and reading for hours.
On Tuesday, I randomly saw a deer on my street which is in the middle of the city. I've seen plenty of raccoons, a few rats and some coyotes but never a deer. Sorry for the crappy photo but I was so excited, I could barely grab my phone.
