Sun Porch Season...

So, there's one definite good thing about a jump in the ole thermometer:  It certainly put me in the mood for salads last night.  That OR the fact that between Easter and craving nothing but carbs last week while I was feeling sick, that I am just sooooo happy to be craving veggies again!  And after digging through the fridge, I realized we had all the makings of a caprese saladJ

And it was quite a yummy oneJ  My cutting board could pass for an Italian Flag, don't cha think?

In the mix:

• Lettuce
• Roasted tomatoes, (roasted for 30 minutes at 350 & cooled)
• Diced marinated mozzarella
• Fresh basil, torn
• Scallions
• Balsamic Vinegar

This totally screams WARM WEATHER!

And what made this salad taste even better was the fact that a cool breeze had picked up last night and made for some PERFECT sun porch weather.  So we made a quick swipe over all the surfaces and officially commenced it "sun porch season 2011!"  It was just too nice to be insideJ (SEE...I do embrace spring/summer occasionallyJ)

ANYWAY...since I had soo much to show you yesterday, I totally neglected to give you the exercise 'run down' of last week...so here ya go, to start off your 'motivated Tuesday'J :

Monday:  Yoga Meltdown-Level 1 + 45 minutes walk at lunch

Tuesday & Wednesday:  Down and outL

Thursday:  20 minutes of dance, weights & stretch (didn't go so wellJ)

Friday:  1 hour Yoga for the Warrior

Saturday:  1 hour Power Yoga  (soooooooooooo tough!)

And after last week's 'checkered' schedule, I was ALSO ready to get back to normal with my workouts this weekJ  So far, so good...and I'm hoping to make a visit to the Tuesday night boxing class...we shall see.

That about wraps up today...have a great Tuesday, everyone!
