Welcome to my Yoga Studio

March 27, 2010 11 Comments

So far today has been just the kind of day I needed.

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

So Sore and So Green

March 17, 2010 20 Comments

Yesterday was a great workout day .

I did my run and circuit in the morning.

Walked to work and home.

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?

Silent Supporters

This morning I could not wait to get up and have oatmeal. It had been way too long since I had a warm bowl of oats.

First, I broke the “fast” with some protein and fat (doctors orders):

Had my cup of joe:

After some blog reading in bed, headed downstairs for breakfast.

While I was making my bowl of oats………

I got the greatest phone call.

Bill’s coworker, Cole and his wife Luciana were at TJ’s searching for ingredients to make raw almond balls and some other creations from this blog. I knew they were trying to eat healthier but I was so excited! How fun to find out you have silent supporters : )

Thanks Cole and Luciana-you guys made my day!

Hope your “balls” turn out good……

And now back to my oats.

We were out of Steel Cut and so I had to settle for traditional oats. They were not as good : (

This bowl had bananas, frozen mixed berries, dried cranberries, flax seed, and almond butter:

And some hot tea:Target seems to be the only place that carries my favorite so I stocked up last night!
