Started with a good cup of joe with some soy creamer:

Caught up on some blog reading

Did a couple loads of laundry.

And then had all intentions to go for a run but it was SO windy and I felt so achy and tight from this weeks workouts.

If there is one thing I have learned from years of working out, when you feel tight and achy-practice yoga.

Welcome to my Yoga Studio

I did a 45 minute Solar Vinyasa Flow class from Yoga Download.

My body was thanking me the whole time.  By the time I got to Savasana, I felt like I had a massage.  Love that!

After yoga, I got to have Oats in a Jar!

I never get to make this because it seems I never have an almost empty jar of almond butter:

This made me very happy.

Perfection.

Bill just got home from a VERY long ride and we had some pizza for lunch.

Never tried this and loved it!  Definitely a keeper for the frozen and healthy pizza category:

My plate with a slice of pizza topped off with avocado and some carrots and radishes on the side:

I just whipped up these little gems from this recipe:

Bill says, “Delicious!”

Well I am off to the bike shop to pick up some new running socks.  I had Trevor order me my favs.

Then Bill and I are gonna watch, Julie and Julia can’t wait!

Hope you are having a great Saturday as well

I bet my mom would not believe it.  She had to drag me out of bed numerous times in my teens at 11am.

But yes, now in my elder years I realize I am a morning person.

• I think better in the morning.

• I enjoy working out first thing in the morning.

I just feel more “clear.”

By the afternoon, I have a hard time putting a coherent sentence together. And I definitely do not want to work out or write that long-lost novel!

I would much prefer just pouring myself a glass of wine and making dinner.

What about you?  When are you at your best?  Morning, afternoon, or evening?

Speaking of evening.

This recipe was my motivation last night:

Instead of using true arborio rice, I used this:

Here are the rest of the ingredients:

Which ended up creating this:

It was delicious served in half of a butternut squash:

Topped the warm, delicious carb-of-love with raisins and pistachios.

On another note:

Have you heard of the sweet potato challenge on Running to Slow Things Down?

I got my bag…….now I just have to get creative.

Did you hear that Can You Stay for Dinner got the Sunshine Award?  She really deserves it-in every post you can see her “sunshiny” personality : )

Happy Tuesday Bloggies!
