A time to recharge. It helps when the weather cooperates. Friday night I had a relaxing swim and then Michael and I chilled watching the last few episodes of &#8220;The Killing.&#8221; I thought it was a good show. It was slow moving in parts but it kept me interested. A lot of people didn&#8217;t like the finale but I liked it a lot! It was thought-provoking.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday was a great day. I started it off with a butt-kicking in the gym. I would have preferred to run outside but I wanted to get in a good weight lifting session, so the treadmill it was. 4 miles and a couple dozen squats later, I was worn out:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_6805.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19844\" title=\"IMG_6805\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_6805-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_6805-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_6805-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_6805.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe rest of Saturday afternoon was for chores like yard work. It wasn&#8217;t that bad though because the sun was out and it felt nice to be outside. Then we had some friends over for a pizza party.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8041.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19845\" title=\"IMG_8041\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8041-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8041-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8041-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8044.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19846\" title=\"IMG_8044\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8044-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8044-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8044-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI&#8217;m glad the pizzas turned out so great and that we were able to eat outside on the deck. It was a nice night, with a warm breeze and the occasional sound of fireworks. They brought Michael and I bottle of wine as a gift, which I&#8217;m really looking forward to trying! I forgot to ask if it was from her recent trip to France:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8047.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19847\" title=\"IMG_8047\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8047-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8047-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8047-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThey also brought dessert. Vanilla Bean ice cream with my chocolate fudge and their caramel sauce: perfect for a warm night.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8046.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19848\" title=\"IMG_8046\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8046-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8046-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_8046-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The weekend wasn&#8217;t all go-go-go.

Fat Kitty is a purring machine and that lulled me back to sleep for a bit longer. I skipped the pool on Sunday morning to go for a long bike ride with Michael.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>QUESTION: How is your long weekend so far?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long weekends are for fun.
