A very active day

Shew! It’s been one of those days where I don’t feel like my legs have stopped moving.

It started when I woke up this morning and realized the temperature had dropped to 10 degrees Celsius in our apartment overnight. After giving myself a big facepalm, I dug into the bowl of overnight oats I prepared last night.

I used the remaining plain yogurt in the container (probably about half a cup), 1/3 cup of rolled oatmeal, 1/4 cup of 2% milk, 1/4 cup of Kashi Go Lean Crunch, 1 T peanut butter and 1/2 a banana.

My food always looks so much prettier before I make a mess out of it. And I pretty much always make a mess out of anything I eat.

I biked to work to teach my morning class and found one of my students already in the classroom. These guys never come in early so I knew something was up. He said our classroom was 0 degrees Celsius this morning, so he came in early and kicked on the heater for me.

I have some really good students.

Post-class, I biked back home and chatted with my Momma and Daddy for a few minutes while having my pre-workout snack. (Was that sentence confusing???)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hot tea to warm me up and half an apple with a wedge of cheese.

Last week I told you one of my favorite winter workout tricks is to dress in layers. Here’s another one: warm up inside before heading outdoors.

I did a 20-minute Power Flow class from Yogadownload.com before my 5 mile run this morning.

In case you’re wondering the above photo is, in fact, of the stuff you use to line the drawers in your house. I don’t have a real yoga mat, but I decided this would do for now. I’ve been putting off buying one until I knew for sure I was going to stick with practicing.

I’ve been doing yoga regularly (at least once a week, sometimes more) for over two months. I think it’s time to invest in a mat.

Oh, I am a cheap ass.

I was HANGRY when I returned to my abode from running. I wanted something nutritious, quick, and easy.

Quick and easy were probably the most important part of the equation. I chopped up some frozen spinach and broccoli and threw them in a bowl with a serving of my leftover macaroni and cheesy beef casserole. (You can find the recipe for it here—it’s really good and I’ve been eating from it all week.)

Snacked on a little trail mix covered in cinnamon whilest getting myself ready for job number two. Homemade trail mix is the bomb. That’s what I’ve decided.
