I guess I know what I’m doing on Wednesday! I’ll be wearing my new dolife running shorts to yoga today in preparation. Does that count as ‘cross-training’?!?!
Happy Monday!

I bought another swim suit the other day.
Yes, that means I now have TWO swim suits … and both of them are two piece! There are a few reasons I splurged:
- It was a Jennie day. I do what I want.
- It was red. I normally hate red, but this red suit looked good on me … I looked good in it?
- I have a themed campnoeing (camping & canoeing) trip coming up - yes it’s themed - we do everything with a theme. This suit fit my ‘costume’ perfectly.
- It was on sale.
- I’ve never been so excited to buy a two-piece suit.
- But most importantly, I liked my boobs in the top. I’ve never really been a big fan of my boobs … there’s just not too much to like … but in this top, they looked proportional and just perfect. I don’t care if this was the only reason I splurged on this suit … it is reason enough.

It’s so easy to do … but I will refuse.

One bad decision will not ruin the rest of my day.
Today’s bad choice:
- Eating chocolate chips for a pre-workout snack instead of almonds.
Today’s good choices (so far):
- Working out.
- Watering my plants.
- Updating Tumblr.
- Being honest with myself.
- Seeing the beautiful sun reflecting off the lake.
- Making the bed with Erich.
- Having a healthy breakfast.
The good will out-weigh the bad. Always.

6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
⅓ cup Crunch Time
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoon minced red onion
1 packed tablespoon minced parsley
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 small stalk celery, diced
¼ cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
Procedure
1. Cut the potatoes into ¾” cubes then add them to a pot. Add water till the potatoes are covered by 2”. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender when stuck with a fork.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by whisking together the peanut butter, olive oil, mustard, vinegar, red onion, parsley, salt and pepper.
3. When the potatoes are done, drain them thoroughly and put them in a large bowl along with the celery, cranberries and dressing. If you want the potatoes to retain their shape, stir until just combined. If you want the potatoes a little mashed, stir until they are the consistency you want them to be.
This sounds and looks a little terrifying, but I REALLY want to try it.

Yet again …
Yoga was fabulous.
This was incredibly invigorating. It re-energized me. This was by far the sweatiest I’ve ever been … but I believe it was from the actual workout more than the temperature!
Love.

Shavasana Thoughts
Lying in that warm studio I was flooded with positive thoughts.
- I couldn’t help but reflect on my day. Despite the mounds of things I had to accomplish by 5pm, I had a wonderful day. At that moment, nothing else mattered. I had a great day.
- I have incredible friends … especially Amanda and Alli. They would do anything for me. Amanda hooked me up with some golf lessons and followed it up with an entertaining evening. Alli is the one responsible for yoga - she got me hooked.
- The yoga class was incredible. It was a small group with an instructor I haven’t had yet. It was different - we basically went through different moves and he explained them and modified our form. Despite most of us being new, all of us were quite strong and flexible. This allowed him to do some more advanced moves. This was super exciting for me. I was actually able to do 99% of them … including the headstand!! I loved feeling my core activate and get my body in the right position! Invigorating!!
- I’m really excited to go golfing tomorrow (it’s a work thing). This is something I NEVER would have tried 2 years ago. I never reached outside my comfort zone. I hope I can actually hit the ball!

Golfers deserve more credit.
I had my first ‘pro’ golf lesson last night. I learned a bit …
- I have enough power to play.
- It’s super hard to coordinate what my mind wants me to do and what my body actually does.
- Hitting the ball is probably the hardest element of golfing.
- There should be a foul ball option as seen in baseball or volleyball.
- It turns out I’m a pretty good chipper!
- I will be sore later. I’m just waiting for it now.
- I have not given golfers the appropriate amount of credit.
- Amanda and her family are amazing and incredibly talented in so many ways.

Thank you! I’m trying hard to stick with it! It’s seems so easy to fall off the wagon!
We just have to take it one day at a time!
