The thought of an ice cold beer was pretty much the only thing that keep me pushing through my work today. It’s a beautiful day (sunny and warm!), so I knew sipping a beer on the sun porch with my feet up at the end of the day would be the perfect reward for a hard day’s work. It’s funny how a cold brew can motivate me! 😉
I spent the morning frantically working and crossing items off my To Do list. Things were going fairly well until I received a request for a 800-1,000 article due “as soon as possible,” which put me over the edge. Instead of freaking out, I grabbed my yoga mat and headed to a class. I needed some deep breathing in a bad way.
So, I tried out a new-ish studio at the Derby Street Shoppes called Dancing Crow Yoga.
Of course, I had a Groupon for it.
I took an hour-long Vinyasa class, which left me in a much better place than when I entered the studio. I really needed that time to chill out. It’s amazing what yoga can do for my mental health.
Lunch
When I got home from yoga, I made myself lunch. In one bowl, I had reheated some leftover noodles from Lime Leaf. In the other bowl, combined plain Stonyfield yogurt with sliced strawberries and raisin bran.
It was a good lunch– lots of flavors and textures.
Snack
As an afternoon snack, I ate two spoonfuls of sunflower butter straight from the jar. Mmm! Sunflower butter is delicious! I especially loved the consistency– smooth with lots of sunflower seed chunks in it. It was also a nice change from my usual repertoire of nut butters.
Apparently, pugs like sunflower butter too? Murphy went, um, nuts over it!
It’s definitely time to crack that beer! It tastes to good when it hits your lips!
