Weekend Recap: Yoga, Popcorn, and Invitations

This weekend was incredibly productive!  Daniel and I spent a good chunk of it sitting in front of my coffee table making our wedding invitations.  And we got them done--yayy!  Feels good to have such a hefty project out of the way, and I had the best time putting them together alongside my fiance.  There's a preview at the bottom of the post :)

We took a few breaks, too, for the sake of our sanity as well as our back muscles.  Leaning over a tedious project is hard on your body!  Speaking of taking care of our muscles, we've been trying to become more health-focused as a couple lately.  

For the past three weeks we've taken Penny on a long walk and done 30-45 minutes of yoga every evening after dinner.  And it has been wonderful!  We're both feeling stronger and more appreciative of all the small muscles that work together to help us move through life.  

Daniel was a little skeptical of the whole yoga thing at first, but after watching me do a short but intense video, he decided to give it a try.  IT IS NOT A WOMEN-ONLY WORKOUT, PEOPLE.  And he realized that quickly.  Yoga takes some serious strength, balance, and flexibility, and if you don't have those, it helps you develop them.  Plus it's SUPER relaxing because it's impossible to worry or feel anxious about anything else when you're so focused on breathing into each muscle as you work it out.  We're really enjoying feeling healthier together, and because of that, we decided to take it a step further with our eating habits.  We've been easing into eating much cleaner the past six or seven months, but today begins more discipline in that area.  We get married in 90 days, and as Daniel said last night after we finished a hardcore yoga abs workout, "We're going to look GOOD for the wedding."  Haha, hopefully!

Since we planned to start this clean eating deal today, we made sure to do one of our less healthy wedding popcorn experiments this weekend: SMORE'S POPCORN.  And OH MY YES was it GOOD.  (Super easy) recipe coming soon!
