Why Do I Always Forget?

June 8, 2010 19 Comments

Today I came home and got on the mat:

I did a simple 20 minute yoga download class:

Sorry for the blurry pic!

Why do I always forget how wonderful yoga makes me feel?

Why do I always forget how centered, how stretched, how-at-home-in-my-body it makes me feel?

So glad I remembered today!

Afterwards I had a few sips of a new-to-me-treat:

Pom Wonderful is wonderful! They sent me 8 bottles to try out. I forsee a few cocktails in my future

Happy Tuesday!’

Don’t forget to check out the winner of the Newman’s Own goodies in the morning.

Good night……………..

Oops almost forgot-here is Pepsi doing her downward dog

Not Just Another Salad

June 8, 2010 24 Comments

I gave myself permission to sleep in a bit today and I can’t believe how much better I feel just having had 20 more minutes of sleep.

I think I need to do this more often!

Last night we had a fabulous salad.

While I was working out, Bill whipped together this beauty:

And we topped them with some whole wheat pasta with a bit of sun-dried tomato pesto dressing:

It was delicious and satisfying for sure. I have some leftovers for lunch too so I am extra excited for my lunch hour 1/2 hour

I also have been excited about these snacks.

Lara Bar sent me these cute sample bars in all kinds of flavors. I love Lara Bars!

And I am still finishing up all of my vitalicious treats. I have yet to try these brownies but I am hoping to soon:

Well time to get ready for work-8 more working days!

Today my workouts are gonna be a walk to work and back and a yoga sesh at the end of the day.

What about you? What are you gonna do?

Don’t forget to enter my giveaway-I will pick a winner tomorrow

Make it a great one friends!

Tofu Cheesecake

April 11, 2010 25 Comments

Yesterday I ended up going on a 22 miles bike ride with Sara.

I was supposed to run and do hill repeats but my new bike was calling me to get out and go.

It was wonderful!

Afterwards, Bill and I prepared for our Pizza Party.

He is a master dough maker

While he was preparing the dough, I was getting ready for our guests:

Our guests arrived:

John and Trevor

Sara and Khrystle

Bill and I

Then the pizza!

BBQ Chicken

Caprese with Buffalo Mozzarella and Pine Nuts

Pesto Veggie with Goat Cheese

As if that was all not enough………………..Khrystle brought over tofu cheesecake from Santa Barbara.

It was delicious!

More and more I am convinced you do not need dairy in desserts at all.

Well I have a lot of calories to burn so I am off to run

It is the last day of vacation and I am sad……

Back to work tomorrow

If you have a chance stop by Lanette’s blog. She wrote an awesome post on how to burn calories as we go about our daily routines. After reading it, I feel much better about doing laundry and emptying the dishwasher (two chores I hate!)

I leave you with my favorite quote from my yoga practice this morning, “May all beings everywhere be blessed with happiness.”

Hope you all are

Week in Review

Happy Friday Bloggies!

Don’t forget it is Smoothie Friday. I will be stopping by my favorite Juice and Java and picking up something delicious.

Hope you will join me by creating your own smoothie or buying one like I will today

Laying in bed this morning I started thinking about the past week.

I really hesitate to make weekly goals because when I don’t live up to them I feel unsuccessful and like something did not get done. Yes I have a type A personality when it comes to getting things done.

But I am pleasantly surprised to find that my non written goals for the week have been met.
