Yesterday was a great workout day 
.
- I did my run and circuit in the morning.
- Completed a 20 minute Solar Yoga Flow from Yoga Download (with lots of chaturangas ).
This was all for operation arm tone and now…….
I AM SORE-OUGH!
I love practicing yoga.
My favorite pose is Eagle Pose.
What is your favorite yoga pose?
Last night I tried one of our new food products from Whole Foods:
This was $8:99 and worth every penny. Try it if you want a good red!
For dinner I whipped up something with these four ingredients:
Another successful “cleaning out the fridge” dinner
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all!
Are you wearing green today or doing anything fun?

This time of year I always start to complain about my upper body.
The complaints go something like this:
- I hate my arms they are too flabby.
- I can’t wear that tank top I look awful in it.
- I need to join a gym and staring lifting weights.
- I should start doing push ups and pull ups.
By this time, Bill starts rolling his eyes and tends to leave the room.
So this morning I thought I should get my “behind” in gear.
I ran to the park.
Did two sets up push ups and sit ups.
While I ran home from the park, I alternated walking lunges with squats.
Now I just have to keep this up.
I will try for once a week for a few weeks and then move on to twice a week.
Wish me luck! Hee hee .
Wish I could stay home tonight and read my new magazine:
But I have a PTO meeting to get to.
What are you up to tonight? Resting or out and about?
What magazines do you like to read?

Bill and I had a busy weekend with all of the birthday stuff and his mountain bike race so we did not make time to do our weekly grocery shopping.
Instead we only bought a few fun items and decided to wing it for the week.
Do you ever decide to have a “cleaning out the pantry/refrigerator” week?
I think it is kind of fun because you end of making some interesting things!
Last night was no exception-I made what I like to call, a Hodge Podge Bowl.
The star of the show was this:
This was my first time buying these and I don’t think I would buy them again.
For the price they should have tasted better 
I whipped up some Israeli Couscous for the base:
I cooked it in veggie broth, hemp milk, and added some raisins at the end
Baked up some vegetables:
There were yellow squash, sugar snap peas, garlic cloves, brussel sprouts, and sweet potatoes in the mix
Topped the bowl with some hummus and roasted almonds:
The Hodge Podge was a success!
Do you whip up some interesting eats at times?
What is your favorite “strange” combination?
