Get busy living.

The past few weeks I've surprised myself. I am enjoying and doing things that if you asked me a couple of years ago I would laugh and say never in a million years...

Baking & Cooking

With the extra time on my hands, I've made dinner almost every night. A week ago I received this from a dear friend:

Since receiving this and my wonderful cookbook holder, I've managed to whip up homemade chili, citrus tilipia, banana bread and get this....A berry (blackberries & blueberries) pie from SCRATCH! Huge accomplishment. And not only was it edible, it tasted delicious. Minus the whole wheat flour, I swear the personal trainer in me has substituted every baking/cooking item in my house. Next time, I might use white *cringe* flour.

Reading

Also finished my second book this month. Both by Elin Hilderbrand, Summer Affair and this beauty:

I recommend both of them if you are looking for a good trashy, summer read :)

Exercise

I've attempted every workout under the sun. I've never been a big fan of Yoga. I grew up playing basketball, soccer, and volleyball which means the more sweat the better. I tried 7 yoga classes and walked out of 6 of them. I started enjoying it a little more after P90X, still would never try it more than once a week. That being said, my physical therapist strongly recommended it for my headaches and stress with wedding planning.

I began DVRing Namaste Yoga on Fit TV. I can now say I love Yoga. Like truly enjoy, do it 4 times a week now, like it. And not only am I enjoying it, I can see results and am getting pretty darn good at it.

All three of things just shock me, even while typing this post. However, they all make me proud and smile just a little. I guess I will just have to keep trying new things :)

Oh yeah t-minus 9 days...
