Happy Weekend, my Fabulous Followers!
Today is my husband's birthday! When he was younger he used to create and sell pottery - so the surprise today is a clay class where he can get his hands in the clay again.
Then he wants to have dinner at Outback Steakhouse! I hate the place but he likes their prime rib and it is HIS birthday. I have food picked out - but if I do not want it at the time, I will have a large salad with grilled chicken.
I kicked in an extra workout this morning doing strength training, and will weigh in at the gym on Tuesday for their challenge. It is helping me stay focused so I am grateful.
