I am lucky enough to have 2 rest days this week which totally rocks. So what do I do on rest days? Well that depends on when the rest day falls. Luckily this day I was able to spend the day with my children. Often on rest days I am running around in circles trying to get everything accomplished for the weekend\u00a0<span style=\"color: #333333; line-height: 1.5;\">ahead as my rest days are typically on Fridays. Having one on Monday is super nice. I was able to send out emails, clean on my house for expected company, spend time watching &#8216;Once Upon a Time,&#8217; with my kiddos (win win) while icing my leg, organizing pics for scrapbooking, and much more. Totally wonderful to have a catch up day. I also got a chance to schedule our week ahead which is something we do each week along with our menu. I have found that having all of my nutrition for the week ahead is super beneficial for me. I am able to go shopping typically only once a week and save myself a ton of time and stress. On a side note I finally was able to register for my race today. So it&#8217;s official. Jenny Duncan is doing the Coeur d&#8217;Alene Triathlon. Woot!! Big huge training week ahead for me this week and the coming week. Almost there! Time to head back to icing, something that I used to ignore but have now learned the true benefit of. (Yes you were right Jeremy) See you all tomorrow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/becomingbutterflies.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/11817176_10207578082078065_9194196069849426252_n.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"192\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/becomingbutterflies.net\/?attachment_id=192\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/becomingbutterflies.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/11817176_10207578082078065_9194196069849426252_n.jpg?fit=528%2C960&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"528,960\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"11817176_10207578082078065_9194196069849426252_n\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/becomingbutterflies.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/11817176_10207578082078065_9194196069849426252_n.jpg?fit=528%2C960&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-192\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/becomingbutterflies.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/11817176_10207578082078065_9194196069849426252_n.jpg?resize=426%2C775\" alt=\"11817176_10207578082078065_9194196069849426252_n\" width=\"426\" height=\"775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/becomingbutterflies.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/11817176_10207578082078065_9194196069849426252_n.jpg?w=528&amp;ssl=1 528w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/becomingbutterflies.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/11817176_10207578082078065_9194196069849426252_n.jpg?resize=165%2C300&amp;ssl=1 165w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 426px) 100vw, 426px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/becomingbutterflies.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/11751769_10207578186600678_1345859025835320309_n.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"202\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/becomingbutterflies.net\/?attachment_id=202\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/becomingbutterflies.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/11751769_10207578186600678_1345859025835320309_n.jpg?fit=960%2C540&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"960,540\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"11751769_10207578186600678_1345859025835320309_n\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/becomingbutterflies.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/11751769_10207578186600678_1345859025835320309_n.jpg?fit=950%2C534&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-202\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/becomingbutterflies.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/11751769_10207578186600678_1345859025835320309_n.jpg?resize=656%2C369\" alt=\"11751769_10207578186600678_1345859025835320309_n\" width=\"656\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/becomingbutterflies.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/11751769_10207578186600678_1345859025835320309_n.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/becomingbutterflies.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/11751769_10207578186600678_1345859025835320309_n.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fcbkbttn_like \"><div class=\"fb-like fb-like-button_count\" data-href=\"https:\/\/becomingbutterflies.net\/?p=189\" data-colorscheme=\"light\" data-layout=\"button_count\" data-action=\"like\"  data-size=\"small\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahhh rest day, one of my favorite words.
