Skip & Skippy

Yoga kicked my TAIL last night! After dinner I completed the class I downloaded last week, then tried a new, 20 minute abs/core class – Core Yoga #1. Umm, definitely missed the fact that it was an advanced/intermediate class with a vigorous intensity level, which would explain why I was dying around minute 11!

This class showed the poses in a series of still photos along with the audio, instead of in a downloadable pdf, which was nice but they were off the audio by about 6 seconds. It’ll be easier the next time I attempt it…which might be awhile considering the way my abbies feel today!

This morning I refueled with a Green Monster!

In the mix:

Maybe you’re wondering why there’s two containers of Green Monster ingredients all ready to blend up? That’s because BEN had one with me this morning! He’s requesting them these days, people!

He still won’t use almond butter, so he subbed in some Skippy peanut butter. Which reminds me, my parents used to call each other Skip and Skippy. HA! 

We assembled our ingredients last night and blended this morning using the same directions as last time (the key is the two part blending!)

And pour. Thick, fluffy, pillowy, lush.

I’m getting even MORE greens in today with a Kitchen Sink Salad for lunch. (Basically it appears that I call every salad a kitchen sink salad these days.)  

In the mix:

Per usual, I put the lettuce and spinach in my container first, then zipped through them with a pizza cutter. It makes for perfect sized bites. I can’t wait to eat these cold roasted b-sprouts – they’re just the BEST!

I also packed a cold and crispy Fuiji Apple and a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Uh-huh!

Do you eat dessert-type stuff during the day, or do you prefer to leave it for the evenings?

Do you have any nicknames?

Clearly dessert is fair game no matter what time of day! Also, among many other names (all of which would take way too much time to explain!) Ben and I call each other “ninja”. I have no idea where it came from! Actually, I think Ben used to like ninjas, so that’s just what we started calling each other??

Have a great Tuesday everyone!
