Fun Things To Read On A Friday

Who needs a bathmat when you have Buster?

Hey there — HAPPY FRIDAY! It’s been a mostly uneventful week around here, and I mean that in the best way possible. This weekend we are heading to an Engagement/Housewarming party and a Baby Shower, so clearly we saved up all the eventful-ness for the weekend.

Mostly this means I’ll end up grocery shopping and running errands on Friday night so we don’t starve next week and if I’m being honest, I get a little bit excited about grocery shopping on Friday nights instead of Sunday afternoons. My 21 year old self is laughing so hard at me right now. Hell, you probably are too. 🙂 Whatever. Domesticity, I love you!

So, shall we get to some links?

*I finally squeezed in a 6am wod this week and remembered how freaking good it feels to have your workout done by 7am! I came across this article about Tips for Those Who Train Early, and while I don’t advocate everything he says, the list at the end is pretty solid and similar to my own morning routine.

*A friend who knows my tendencies well sent me this link the other day. It felt like I was exhaaaaaaaaaaaaaling with every word.

*Are you having bathing suit anxiety? Then I have a link for you! I love Allison’s message here. here.

*Trying to overcome fear and take more risks — I love the concept of The Tripod of Stability.

*Let’s talk about when it’s okay to be lazy.

*Love pickles and kombucha? Well then, you are totally in style! Check out how the tart food trend is sweeping the nation.

*This pinterest board is a paleo dessert inspiration jackpot! Speaking of inspiration: BACON CAKE.

*Whole Foods recently posted a delicious looking list of 5 Salad Dressings to Make This Summer.

*Want a bit of a meatier read? Check out this book excerpt from Vanity Fair where A Veteran of Seal Team Six Describes His Training.

*Lastly, Diane from Balanced Bites shared this on her Facebook page the other day and before I watched it, I wasn’t convinced I was interested in the whole thing. When I was done though, WOW — powerful stuff. (Aren’t most TED talks?) Definitely worth the 15 minute investment.

Have a great weekend folks!
