It makes my  heart happy that you are enjoying reading about my yoga teacher training experience. It is such an important thing in my life right now and writing about it feels so good. Thank you for your positive feedback and encouraging comments. I smiled all day as I read them!

Let’s talk about something else tonight. How about food and Sullie cuteness – sounds good, right? Here are some highlights of what I’ve been eating the last few days.

The first meal that I’ve enjoyed outdoors in months. We had an unseasonably warm weekend and I spent my lunch break Saturday outside with Sullie. It was glorious. Greek-inspired red quinoa over mixed greens topped with plain Greek yogurt, hummus and feta. A kiwi on the side.

I can’t even get over how happy this cute face makes me.

An iced coffee was the perfect midday pick me up.

Sullie and I loved soaking up the sunshine. I can’t wait until Spring is here to stay.

[Not my food!!!] I went to Earth Fare Sunday for lunch and found the difference in food selection between myself and my teacher hilarious. I mean, seriously.

Yoga teacher…pizza, chips, guacamole and a cookie. Yoga student…spinach, butternut squash salad, tofu scramble, fresh fruit and a whole wheat chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. How he eats like this and stays healthy and as physically active as he is just completely blows my mind.

Dinner Sunday night was chicken parmesan and salad.

I somehow rolled myself out of bed and made it to the Y to teach BodyPump at 6 a.m. this morning. After BodyPump I had a delicious breakfast of apple cinnamon oatmeal in an almost empty apple butter jar. I came home for lunch.

I actually put a top on my sandwich today! AND it was a new combination. Mashed avocado, scrambled egg, spinach and cheddar on a whole wheat bagel thin. I was really craving eggs today for some reason and this sandwich totally hit the spot.

And finally, dinner tonight was baked mahi mahi with a chili spice rub, a baked sweet potato and green beans. Simple, healthy and delicious.

I must admit that we have been watching The Bachelor tonight (for the first time this season) and it is highly entertaining. Michelle is crazy. Emily from Charlotte is lovely. Funeral director girl is kind of winning me over.

Ashtanga in the AM. Ready to practice!
