Half way!

Today marked 15 days complete of the 30 day hot yoga challenge...yay me!

So far, I've gone 16 times in 15 days. I doubled up when I went again Friday night...just in case I had to miss a day over Easter weekend or something.

Friday night, Mel (my {technically Scott's} SIL) came with me... and she loved it! YAY!
And then we were naughty....we went to DQ. What can I say, I did yoga twice that day! I was already craving ice cream, and when Mel suggested it...I was all for it ;) Twist my rubber arm!

Saturday morning, Paige (Scott's sister) and I went to hot yoga. It was a really good class that we both enjoyed :D

Here's to 15 more days of hot yoga!

I don't know what it is...but the past week I have been having the craziest crazy dreams. They're not for sharing, but all I'll say...they're weeeeiiiiirrdd.

Other than yoga, basically all I did this weekend was get a few groceries and more packing!

How was your weekend?? More exciting than mine?? 
 Mine is hard to beat ;)

When I went grocery shopping, I picked up a regular old coconut. 


I was SO excited, until I finally cracked it open and found MOLD! Boo! Hiss~!
I didn't take a picture because my poor little coconut-less heart was crushed. And yes, I threw away the coconut water afterwards...no moldy coconut water for me, thank you very much!

Scott told me I should've returned it, but no way was I taking a moldy coconut in a bag, out in the snow, when I was already in my cozies, just to get another coconut. So needlesstosay, I'm still coconut-less.
Next time...

Do anything for St. Patrick's?
No...I sure didn't.

Love you too.

Young Coconut?!?!

We all love coconut. Ok...well MOST of us love coconut ;) (Ok, well I love coconut...)

Coconut Butter, Coconut Oil, Shredded Coconut, Coconut flavored things - mmm~!
Have you ever had a legit coconut?
I remember growing up, I got to experience a real coconut a few times and always loved it :)

Nummers~!



SO lately, I've been craving coconut... and I figured I may as well get some because...why not?! I go to the store and I noticed not only the regular coconut (as seen above) but there were also some young coconut. I had never tried young coconut...but I had definitely seen them before and I've also seen quite a few people mention them in blogs and such and I was curious! HOWEVER, I never knew what they were like... 
Have you ever tried it??
I find it...strange...
The texture is SO weird! It's almost like a jelly and it's all slimy and I just wasn't a fan. 

Young coconuts vs brown coconuts
The main difference is obviously their stages of maturation...young coconuts are...well, younger. The brown coconuts are older and basically more dried up. They don't have as much water inside and their 'meat' is much more solid than jelly-like (in the young coconuts).

Was it a waste?
Not a waste... I won't eat the 'meat' (in the young coconut) on its own, heck I won't even drink the water on it's own, BUT it did make a delicious smoothie today. ;)

What did I learn?
Young coconuts are only good (in my case) for smoothies. For snacking, I definitely want the withered up brown coconuts thank you very much!

Which do you prefer? Have you tried them both?

Let me know! :)

Love you too.
