You know how they say “do one thing a day that scares you?”
Well, I don’t know if these things necessarily count, but they did take me out of my comfort zone this week.
- I did strength training ALL BY MYSELF in the gym. I have only ever done strength training with a trainer or in a class. This is big, people. I’d always thought: what if I stand in the wrong spot? What if I do the exercise wrong? I IMed Laurel first for a little motivation and then decided, if I were doing something wrong, it’d be dudes that would most likely notice, and then possibly come over to help. Ain’t nothing wrong with that!
- I tried a clementine. I had tasted one a few weeks ago after someone else peeled it. I wasn’t sure what part I was supposed to eat, so I had to ask my coworker next to me if I was doing it right.
- I gave Brussels sprouts another try. E seems to love them, and I had ORGASMIC ones this weekend.
(My camera card is being weird; pretend the cauliflower is actually Brussells sprouts.)
What have you tried this week that brought you out of your comfort zone?
Clementines are my favorite! I’ve been eating tons of them lately—and peeling them is part of the fun.
For some reason I don’t believe that you did not know how to eat a clementine! You eat every butter under the sun, but never a tiny ol’ clementine! Aren’t they delicious? Also, try roasting mini brussel sprouts (roast them really well so they aren’t hard) and you can eat them as a snack or in rice or any which way your heart desires. So yummy!
Something that has brought me out of my comfort zone is starting a new, healthy eating plan to lose weight and eating foods I normally wouldn’t even consider. And for the most part, it’s been pretty good! Thanks for your inspiration!
OMIGOOOODNESSS! YAY!!!! So happy you tried them. I saw your tweet the other day and it made me feel like a beaming mother! xo
Oh, also – this is SO SAD. My browser (it’s like 1997, ugh!) at work says, “coming soon” when I go to your site! So sad I can’t creep you during the day. But I guess this just means lots of late nights for me and your bloggy!
