I started my morning with 20 minutes of Gentle Hatha Yoga. Ahhhhh… it was very nice. Despite being so relaxing, each time I practice yoga, it reminds me of how incredibly inflexible I am. Downward facing dogs and pigeon poses feel good, but almost hurt because my muscles are so tight. But, I guess you gotta start somewhere, right?
My morning bowl of oats were especially awesome today! Don’t you love that?
In the mix: 1/3 cup dry oats, 1/4 cup wheat berries, 1 sliced banana, 1/2 of a crumbled breakfast cookie (Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk – Vegan), and 2 scoops of my beloved Barney Butter.
“Delicious!”
(I actually say “delicious” out-loud quite often when I am eating or cooking something that I like a lot… what can I say, I’m a dork sometimes!
)
Lunch Preview
As I was photographing my lunch for today, I realized that it is rather heavy on sugar– some naturally occuring, some not. Apparently, I have a major sweet tooth today?! Cravings are so strange…
On the menu: peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole wheat, cantaloup chunks, Brown Cow yogurt with TJ’s “twig cereal,” and a Luna Sunrise bar. Holy sugar, right? I’ll have to balance lunch with a no-sugar dinner this evening.
Stonyfield Giveaway

Five (5) lucky readers will win a reusable, eco-friendly, leak-proof Stonyfield-branded aluminum water bottle and $25 worth of coupons (some of which are for free Stonyfield products).

Downward facing dog – my enemy! That is a delicious bowl of oats
Fun contest! Pigeon pose hurts me too and I can’t get my front leg at a right angle but it hurts less than it used to! Happy Tuesday!
Keep up with the yoga..it can do amazing things for you!
I feel the same way about yoga making me feel inflexible. In class a few weeks ago the instructor said something like, “we’re all at different points in our practice today, and your other exercise activity effects what your body wants to do today.” I didn’t phrase it right, but it made me feel better when I couldn’t do certain poses.
great contest! and there’s nothing strange about sugar cravings!
Thanks for the info on the giveaway!!! YUMMO breakfast too!!!!
Your oats look especially delicious today! Yummmy!!
Sugar is awesome! I love that stuff!
Your scavenger hunts are so fun!
About how long does your morning bowl of oats keep you full? I’m curious because I have a snack when I wake up, and then head to the gym. I usually have a similar combo of oats after. Do you have a morning snack or wait until lunch time?
This is awesome, Tina! Thank you for another chance to win – I love the interactive phto hunts
@Jessica: Usually, they keep me full for 4-5 hours. I rarely eat a snack in the morning before lunch.
Anyone else getting their submissions for the scavenger hunt returned as undeliverable?
