Anyway, rest assured there are a few dozen recipes in the works and I will be sharing them all. I actually have four different desserts planned, too, which is awesome because I love dessert more than anything in the whole wide world. Except that I totally won’t be eating any of them (such a lie, btw…) because my WEDDING is 3 months from Saturday!! Eek!
ANYWAY…
My legs were absolute Jell-O after last night’s squatstravaganza, but it’s been way too long since I gave my upper body a fair shake. It’s also been an atrociously long time since I’ve been anywhere near a swimming pool. In case you didn’t know, I was a fish in another life. I swam competitively for 12 years before college and continued recreationally until I deployed and haven’t been since. Well, today was the day, people! In addition to reuniting with the water and replenishing my chlorine stores, I got a hell of an upper body workout.
500 m Warm-up (Free)
250 m Stroke only (Free, using the leg buoy)
25 m Breast (Rec.)
5 x 50 m Sprint (Free) w/ 5 Poolside Push-ups in between sprints

Killer. I’m much more out of shape in the water than I thought, though. I need to make this a regular thing.
Dinner tonight was some “Vanilla-Pepper Roast Chicken” (I got a whole chicken this time, so it should last 3 or 4 days) and roast veggies.
I’ve never heard of “Vanilla-Pepper Chicken” before, but I’m absolutely going to recreate it. No, really, it’s on my growing list of recipe-inspiration. I know you all are probably sick and tired of me being away from the kitchen and doing this whole All Talk/No Cook business…so please, please, please don’t worry. The best is yet to come!
I hate that you do 500m as a warm-up.
Congrats on the wedding!!! Mine is May 5th! I will have to make a trip to CM because for some reason Vanilla Pepper sounds fabulous and I need some in my mouth!
