94F//34C at the moment, so summer indeed!

For your salad do you also use some sugar? Since tomorrow is supposed to be similar to today I may have to run to the market to buy some cukes; my son has already requested burgers so the salad would be a nice compliment.

Not much to see here. I walked into town to meet a friend for breakfast and later will do some pushups and stretching at home.

Dinner tonight is going to be grilled burgers with a cucumber salad.

...... with a cucumber salad.

Thank you SL for your suggestion yesterday.

A solo workout of 3 sets of 8 reps or to failure:

Bb bent over rows
Bb standing overhead presses
Db rows
Lat pulldowns
Db overhead triceps extensions

Dinner tonight is going to be crab cakes served with an arugula salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.

I really need a dose of motivation for running again. I went out this morning and just was not into it. Again. This has got to change, but I'm not sure how I'm going to accomplish it.

My cooking today will be as sous chef for my wife who is hosting a book club meeting for seven women. My daughter will be travelling to visit her bf so it will be me and my son for dinner; we could stay at home, but things will work more smoothly if we're not around for the bulk of the meeting. I'm going to let him decide on where we're going for dinner.

Enjoy your dinner with your son, GC.

Gonnachange

Thanks SL and I'm sure I will. He's currently not home so I don't know where he's going to want to go for dinner but he did suggest that afterward we go to a minor league baseball game at a stadium only a couple of miles from the house. If we do the latter we'll have to eat relatively early because I do not want to have dinner from the concession stand at the stadium.

Planks, pushups, and foam rolling.

Dinner is going to be leftovers from my wife's book club meeting.

Saturday morning gym time, as usual. I did pretty well with the exception of doing a squat on a bosu ball while holding a db with your arms extended parallel to the floor.

It's a rainy day so they're won't be any outdoor activities this afternoon.

Dinner tonight is going to be the last of the leftovers from my wife's book club meeting.

Happy Father's Day. I'm off to the gym.

Gonnachange

Yesterday was a fine remembrance of my father and my FIL. It's number eleven for my father and the first for my FIL.

I'll be at the gym in about sixty minutes to work with my trainer.

Dinner is undecided at the moment.

Dinner last night turned out to be poached salmon served with avocado that was served cold. I also poached asparagus that was served cold. It was a great cold dinner for the temperatures and humidity we've been experiencing lately, but in the mid afternoon after all cooking was done a large thunderstorm came through and the temperature dropped over 15F along with the humidity. Dinner was still good.

Exercise for today is going to be walking, stretching, and some foam rolling.

Dinner tonight is going to be hamburgers stuffed with sautéed onions with a side of a tomato/red onion/cucumber salad.

SoberLeigh

Love those cold Summer meals!!!!!

Have a great day, GC.

Gonnachange

Agreed! Even if we spend most of our time in air conditioned environments having a hot and heavy meal when it's 90F with matching humidity doesn't normally initiate a desire for such. Not does those conditions want anyone to have to spend time in a hot kitchen if they don't have to.

Enjoy your day also SL!

I ran 2 miles, meh, but the bright side is that all body parts felt fine.

Dinner tonight is going involve shrimp, a request by my son, and a spinach salad. I'm thinking of coating the shrimp with seasoned flour, egg, and panko bread crumbs and baking. which is something very different for us.

Gonnachange

Exercise for the day is going to be a light workout consisting of an upper body push/theme.

Many of my dinner decisions are based on who is going to be home; my son will be out tonight so I'm going to be serving a chicken curry with an Afghani influence according to the recipe. I'll also be making basmati rice.

SoberLeigh

Your son is heading out with a menu like that!!!!!!!!!!

I'd be changing my plans!!!!

SoberLeigh

Have a great day, GC!

Gonnachange

SL, he's not a fan of curries, no matter what the variety, which is why I'm jumping on the opportunity to make it tonight.

Gonnachange

Thanks for your kind words. I should included in my original response that while I wouldn't do it, even I made something he loved while he was not going to be home for dinner he wouldn't have changed his plans because he's spending the afternoon and early evening visiting Grandma. Among other things they'll play cards because my inlaws used to play cards every nigh and since my FIL's passing she rarely gets an opportunity because my ABIL, who has nothing go on, doesn't take care of any responsibilities around, etc. can't find it in himself to spend 30 minutes a day playing cards with his mother.

There will be lots of Grandma snacks and then it will time for dinner at her new "go-to" place near her house. I've been there a couple of times and it really is very nice.
