Reward Day (Pictures)

I went shopping with a friend today and in the name of Whole30 rewards (wink-wink) and my upcoming birthday, I found a few goodies.

Starting in the kitchen:
Two pale pink bubble wine glasses -- perfect for anything from wine to seltzer.  I love drinking from special glasses.
4 pack of kitchen towels.  They seem to be a good quality.  I'm super picky on my dish towels.  The test will come after they're washed.  Mine have seen better days.

Then me:
A new workout outfit.  I'm not ready to debut it outside the house yet, but I'll get braver once I get back in fighting form.  The pants are gray stripe and the shirt is a super light weight navy blue.
New workout bras.  I don't need much support, but after time the seams start to chafe my sensitive skin -- I'm at the point with my last batch of bras.  More a necessity than a reward!

In other news:
The flank steak just finished in the crockpot.  It smells fantastic (best part of crock pot cooking), but I was too hungry to wait to eat.  It's what's-for-dinner tomorrow.

Interesting update on this Whole30 round.  I planned to "skip" days that held something special -- particularly a BBQ that a friend was hosting over the 4th.  She gets nervous hosting and I felt it would be rude to not be an indulgent guest, having fun, partaking in all she prepared.  You know what I mean??  I found out today that she's postponing the BBQ until the end of July.  That was the one "skip" day I couldn't skip.

So now what?!?!  The other days can be managed W30-style if I choose ... including my birthday Sunday.  Now I'm torn.  I'm simultaneously excited and disappointed.  I don't know what I'll do.  I can argue both options with equal veracity.  Choices complicate things! I have until Sunday to decide.  One of those problems that's not really a problem.  My specialty.

It's now actually tomorrow.  I added these pictures in the 

morning since I was too lazy to do it last night.

The pink glasses work for cold brewed coffee too!
