The Time I Tortured My Husband with Yoga

We had a great Saturday but it was so busy that I never got a chance to sit down and blog about it. When we finally arrived home at 11:30 last night, I pretty much collapsed into bed and fell asleep immediately.

I practiced and taught yoga at Y2 on Saturday morning. I had an early wake up call to attend the 7:30 a.m. super flow class. It had been over a week since I attended a normal led yoga class (and not just practiced ashtanga) so I especially enjoyed it. I left class dripping in sweat and feeling so much better. I came home, showered and ate before heading back to teach.

Plain Greek yogurt with granola, cinnamon, dried cranberries, sunflower butter, peaches, bananas and blueberries.

I convinced Brandon to come to the class that I was teaching. I subbed an hour-long power mixed. Brandon actually has a fairly strong practice. Up until about a month ago he was practicing a couple of times a week but he usually doesn’t attend my classes (which I am okay with!). This past month he kind of got out of the yoga groove but was eager to make his return to the mat. He asked before class if I would make it easy for him…yeah right! 😉 He survived class…barely.

Please look at the position that I found Brandon and Sullie in when I got home from the farmer’s market. I burst out laughing and grabbed the camera. What am I going to do with these two? Someone needs to get his booty back in the studio on a regular basis. Although I’m not sure when I’ll be able to convince him to come to my class again. 😛

I made a quick trip to the Atherton Market after class to stock up on fruits and veggies for the week.

I was pleased with my goods…okra, pattypan squash, corn, bell pepper, cucumbers and blueberries. I got straight to work making a big salad for lunch.

All kinds of good toppings on this salad and dressed with a homemade honey mustard. I just whisked together honey, dijon, plain greek yogurt and a drizzle of olive oil.

Off to a Lululemon goal setting meeting. I have more fun things to update you on later today!

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

So Many Dinner Ideas

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

Life Lately: 8 Years Old, A New Piercing, Trail Training and More

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
