New Workout Capris, New Rainbow Recipe, Cycle Tips

Thank you all for your support of my newfound cycling! Overall, I REALLY liked it and am excited to try again. And OMG - I wish i'd had these awesome tips for first-time spinners before I went! I found Carla's tips to be DEAD ON and only wished i'd seen them before I spun... spinned... cycled... attended the spin class for the first time. Whateva. I still found them super helpful and woo -I woke up S. O. R. E. yesterday after the 3.5-mile walk, spin class and body pump class. I think the soreness mostly came from dead lifts (body pump) and spin (in general). I spent the day working, taking advil, and then took my lunch to get my eyebrows waxed, get another slowcooker at BB&B, look for art at Z. Gallerie and get a pair of workout capris for spin. Yes, i've decided to spend some $ toward this new class based on your suggestions! I got these:

I got them in black with a white stripe - $45. And yes, I feel ridiculous in them. And chunky. But NO chafing so what are you going to do? I'd rather feel a little goofy and overweight then chafe. True story.

Love how Remy is like,"I don't know mom..." haha

My mom and Stacy said I don't look bad - so off came the tags - these bitches are mine so more spinning here I come! I'm probably going to hit up lululemon today and maybe get one more pair. They're just too comfortable not too! After my errands, I just worked more, then after work I packed, cooked a new recipe and hung out with the puppers. I do have two fun things to share! #1: Cabot's Facebook Shout Out! Special thanks to Wendy for posting- SO exciting - I loved the feedback on the Chicken & Cheese Crescent Pockets and think the addition of broccoli is smart and clever (and more rainbow friendly!). :)

Fun Thing #2: This yummy new recipe!

Coconut Curry Soup
Recipe adapted by Mel’s Kitchen Café
Makes 4 Servings

Review: This one was a major win for us! I loved the flavor, loved the basmati rice and am a huge fan of anything with coconut milk and curry powder - yum! The cilantro was great too and I liked how much color this dish had with the red pepper. It was a nice consistency - almost like a soupier curry with a pretty this sauce, but the rice helped thicken it up. We will definitely make this again - no changes!

Check out the recipe on Healthified Kitchen!

Q: Curry powder - yay or nay? I'm a fan - obvi! You have to be to cook with it - a little goes a long way!

Q: What's the latest thing you purchased to help you on your fitness journey? Did it make you feel ridiculous? hehe I know i'll get used to these... right?! haha
