I had a little time before bed last night, so I hit the mat for a short Lunar Flow yoga practice to get rid of some of the day’s stresses. It’s a sequence focused much more on stretching than strengthening, and it felt really nice. Then after eight beautiful hours of sleep last night, I [...]

Just as Whit mentioned in a comment the other day, I hopped back on the yoga train this morning. I turned off my alarm, rolled out of bed onto the floor, and started in on Gentle Hatha #1. This is the Yoga Download class that I started with, and it’s what I would recommend to [...]

I have reliable internet back on my laptop. Yay! And with that comes a lot of updates. So here we go… Tuesday afternoon I made it over to our local farmers’ market. Look at the cute stuff I found! It’s a tiny zucchini and two adorable, striped tomatoes. It feels so nice to buy local, [...]

I had quite the active morning today: I woke up and rode my bike to a yoga class. It’s called “Power Hour” and was basically a vinaysa power flow class. It was awesome! It’s not officially hot yoga (aka Bikram), but the room was heated to about 90-93* so I was definitely pretty sweaty in [...]
Since I broke out this meal for brunch on our last M-Day in May (Mothers’ Day) I figured it was only appropriate for Memorial Day. And what a nice brunch it was! After a nice little run this morning, I whipped up some pancakes using my very favorite recipe here. (The only changes I make [...]
I will freely admit it: I am a breakfast girl. It’s my very favorite meal of the day, and I like to enjoy it at all times. Exhibit A: lunch. I was thinking about what I wanted for lunch and managed to turn everything down except for cereal. I don’t know, I was just really [...]
Yeah, not so much. I really need to learn how to make my yogurt bowls prettier. I’ll try harder for y’all next time! Tasted yummy, though. Greek yogurt as the base with sliced banana (left over from my green oats this morning), a handful of raspberries, probably close to a serving of Kashi Heart to [...]
We had a lovely Mother’s Day yesterday. For breakfast, I made blueberry pancakes (same as the ones I made before) for my wonderful mother. And for dinner, my mom and I made our signature dish. This is something we came up with a long time ago, and we just keep adapting it and adding to [...]
I got up this morning and immediately did some yoga because I was feeling a little tight and sore from my workouts the past couple days. I did Gentle Hatha #1, and it was great. Not too hard, nice and relaxing. Next was breakfast. I was thinking about oatmeal, but I decided I wanted something [...]
Sadly, I think we have entered summer here. I ran fairly early this morning, but it was quite hot and humid. By the end, I was so sweaty! And speaking of running, I had a good, if not too difficult, run this morning. 2.31 mi, 20:24. Running playlist song of the day: Let it Rock by Kevin [...]
