Welcome to my feature Chuckles Weekend
Roundup where I will be looking at what books I've received, anything
interesting I've done or bought or watched and other random stuff. I'll
be taking a look back at what happened in my blogging world too, sort of
like The Sunday Post that some of you do!
Please note that I'll be visiting your
STS/SP as normal, but I don't follow or leave comments on blogs run by
Google Plus, or DISQUS as I refuse to join something just to leave
comments, and I won't allow DISQUS to follow new people, update my
profile or post tweets 'on my behalf'. I am the only one who does that
on my social media! I won't comment on any blog that makes me sign in using another account. Sometimes,
I have problems leaving messages on blogs hosted by
Wordpress-they try to block me because I deleted my account with them but I will persevere as it only happens the odd time!
Another productive week goes by. I got my first Covid jag, and in spite of the side effects I still managed to exercise every day as usual. I'm in a good routine for doing my exercise now and while I can't say I enjoy it, I don't actually hate it because I can see differences in muscle tone since I started, which of course is good. I've found a few salad pasta things with tuna, prawns or chicken that I actually enjoy eating. It's better than just shoving rabbit food in my mouth that I hate the taste of. I've cut way down on the junk food too and overall I'm happy with the small changes.
Reading was ok again this week, can't complain! I didn't like a few of the books I tackled but it clears them off the TBR and the e-reader which all counts in the end. I'm still sticking to these short novels and novellas in the horror genre which is keeping me happy for the moment. My dad is recovering nicely from the chest infection and has made a start on varnishing so I need to get out there tomorrow if its dry and do my bit. *groans*

The Week Ahead
I've finally been enjoying what I've been reading, getting back to my first love which is horror. I read two of the books I selected last week, and will read the other tonight, and also tackled a few novellas based on films I liked, with somewhat mixed results. I'll be trying to continue with these books as I'm in a bit of a retro horror mood at the moment. I'm not sure what delights to try this week but I think I'll stick to the short novels for now.
Yay for your first Covid jab and for exercising every day. I've started doing yoga everyday and even when I'm hating it it's definitely made me feel better. Now I just have to start eating better! My main problem lately has been not wanting to mess with prep so I end up eating cereal most of the time.
ReplyDeleteI've been on salad and pasta things for about a month now, avoiding the pesky ready meals and I do feel a difference with that and the exercise. Now I need to find more reduced fat things that I like eating!
DeleteSorry to hear you've had a few side-effects but it's great that you've had your vaccination! I'm so hopeful that the end is in sight with all of this.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the physical progress too! I really need to start getting back into shape but it all seems overwhelming at the moment!
I was expecting side effects as I always get a slight reaction to the flu jab but it wasn't quite as bad as I feared! Now it's the long wait for the second dose. After that I'll feel a lot better about the rest of the year.
DeleteI couldn't get in shape last year. My mental health was poor and I couldn't have faced it really. For some reason this fresh year has motivated me and I'm raring to go!
I'm glad your dad is doing well. And yay for the shot even of the side effects are probably no fun. :( Glad it hasn't been too bad though...
ReplyDeleteI need to cut down on junk food so much. I don't really snack but I hate takeaway food WAY too much.
And I'm just caching up on comments but yes- that cover of I Was Made For Loving you is awesome, isn't it? Sorry this is a few days late... :(
It was an awesome version! I do love the original but what a voice those women have! I am hoping that a record deal might come so I can buy a cd!
DeleteJunk food just tastes so much better, that's the problem! I have discovered that I can eat a ton of lettuce if it has a tasty dressing on it so that's the new plan!
Congrats on the exercise! I know what you mean about not liking salad. I ran 8 miles this morning and then ate a giant bowl of macaroni and cheese because I don’t like vegetables. This is why I can never lose weight.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I've found a few salad things that have a decent taste but you can't eat them forever you know? Junk food always tastes better though so it's a struggle to be good!
