Easy like Monday Morning

Today I have no meetings, no classes… nothing (except a ton of work!). I started by hitting snooze long enough to appreciate listening to the rain on the roof. I rolled out of bed, made a 1/2 cup oat bran in 1.25 cups water with a T of PB. I then did Bar Method ‘s Accelerated Workout DVD. I love it because it gently gets my heart rate up but also makes me stretch!

I came home and had a proteinalicious snack with two Lightlife Smart Dogs and a cup of spinach topped with ketchup… yum! I also made a delicious cup of coffee with half a packet of hot chocolate and 2 T Silk Hazelnut creamer. Heaven in a cup.

Hopefully I’ll get my camera connection cord soon so I can add pictures and pretend to be as awesome as all the other bloggers out there. For now it’s time to research early childhood math education. Yippee!

Happy President’s Day!

Last Hurrah for 24.

Today marks the last day of being 24. I woke up early and did The Bar Method “Shape Your Body” dvd while the boy slept in. Before this, I munched on half a Clif Bar. After a great morning, stretching and burning (who knew little movements could burn so much??), I created a delicious breakfast of oats cooked with a banana, chocolate soy milk, and water. Then finished with some peanut butter on the side, so I could make sure to have some in every bite. Nothing is complete without PB!! It kept me full for the rest of the day! I can’t wait to continue experimenting with oats.

In honor of 25, I have some goals for myself:

1. Do yoga at least 2x a week
2. Eat foods that sustain me
3. Strength train at least 3x a week
4. Cardio 5 x a week
5. MOST IMPORTANTLY, love my body for all that it does every day.

And now to do more reading before a late night study session with some friends…
