Despite my slower week of yoga, I managed to get onto my mat on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. I fell into the "I can catch up later" idea-- when really, if I'm going to do 21 days of yoga, I need to just do it. Not plan on doing it. You know? If only I could apply this thinking to doing my Masters assignments. Another whole weekend working on it.
I did spend some time shopping today! It was so fun to go to Anthropologie in Highland Park Village and peruse the shelves and see what was in. I ended up buying a super cute apron for myself, a button down shirt for myself, and a very cute skirt for myself. :) Hey, remember that I gave up Anthropologie for Lent! Today was my first day back...ahhhh, it was like a breath of fresh shopping air. I just love that store!
OK, gotta get some sleep before tomorrow's 9am class and all day of reading and finishing my week 2 assignment. Night, friends!

Project 21 - Days 4, 5, and 6
No lie, my friends! I have done 6 days of yoga thus far! SIX!
Oh, yes. I made it to yoga on Thursday, Friday for the Hour of Power, and this morning at 9 am with Janie...my left hip was talking to me all through church today.
OK, so my computer is on the fritz. I was working on my masters assignment, and I had to redo it about 5 times (no exaggeration- seriously, I was in tears, it sucked so badly). I downloaded a free security program (Google's! I LOVE all things Google, so I am not going to comment on whether or not it is Google's fault. Because Google can do no wrong. It (Google) is amazing and so are all of their awesome products and applications. But that's another post. My hubby is going to fix this machine. So have a great week, and I'll see you on the flip side! (Wha? Seriously, I don't know where that came from...I've never used that phrase; even when it was cool, I wasn't saying it. What EVS.
Yep, I don't ever say that one either. ANYWAY....)

No downward facing dog today
I had a 7:15 meeting this morning and a late day at work. Yoga tomorrow, my friends. Sleep tight!

Project 21 - Day 3
I made it to the 5:00 class! It was great. Hard, but really, I wish the whole day felt like I felt after that class. Happy and amazed that I could push myself into a triangle twist with both arms lifted and my heart shining up.
OK, so I decided to tackle a new recipe tonight. I got a Williams-Sonoma Salad cookbook from a friend at work (thank you!) and found a chicken and orzo salad. It's actually the first recipe for me to try from this book (as well as the first recipe listed IN the book), and I've had it a while (I won't say how long). Anyway, it calls for cherry tomatoes and baby spinach, so I thought it sounded tasty and healthy. Yum! Plus cherry tomatoes (the super sized ones) were on sale at Newflower Farmers Market. Look at them! Don't they look so good? I put a cutie orange next to them to show some scale. (And yes, I took these photos...with my phone...and uploaded them to my laptop via Bluetooth. Call me a techie!) I ate two of them while I was cooking and saved a few for lunch tomorrow. I also used Organic Girl's Baby Spinach, which boasts being "washed three times so you don't have to." OK. I guess we'll find out how Todd and I feel tomorrow because I didn't wash them, and it seemed to turn out alright, even though everything in my head about fresh spinach said, "Just wash them! Remember the e-coli outbreak?" (Was it even e-coli? I'd have to look that up. I just remember something about spinach and another thing about peanut butter. Back to the recipe. All you have to do is cook the orzo, add a pesto vinaigrette dressing that is super easy to whisk together, and then toss the ingredients together, and voila! An orzo and chicken salad adorns your dinner table.
It was delicious! We both liked it. The pesto was even just pesto in a jar, which is not my first choice, however, it was also on sale and was quite YUM. (W-S recommends pesto in plastic containers on the shelf, which are homemade [and I'm sure very obviously more fresh and tasty than the jar we bought (really?). OK, maybe more fresh, but our jar was again, quite tasty! I'm all for fresh food; don't get me wrong.])
I will be bringing leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
Now, while I'm on an uploading kick, check out this photo of me in our nephew's new go-cart. Yes, they get all kinds of cool toys. And here's one of Todd. We had fun riding in it!

Project 21 - Days 1 and 2
OK!
I started Project 21 on Saturday with a killer class by Karen. Man! I could not get up on Sunday. So I slept in. :) And I went today at 6:30 and had a great class. So if I do all 21 days in this 30-day period, that means I need to go 5 days a week, and 6 days one of the weeks. I'm going to try to go every day this week (minus yesterday). Yow.
The idea behind Project 21 is that it takes 21 days to start a habit. I like that. Usually people talk about quitting bad habits, rather than starting good habits. What good habit do you want to start? Join me on my 21 day journey!
All proceeds from Project 21 go to Eagle Rock School in Colorado. We sent in charity ideas and drew one out of the hat on Saturday to kick off the program. Yea!
Now for some sleep. We are making NASA Mars Landers in class tomorrow, so I need some good rest. (Getting a full night's rest would be another good habit to start.) Have a great week!
