Welcome Back

Good morning, bloggies!

I skipped the 5:30 Body Pump class this morning, but I did some yoga instead. So, I’m really slacking with the Yoga Challenge this year. I feel like I have no time, but anyone can fit 20 minutes of yoga into their day, right? I guess I just need to make time for it?

This morning, I did a 20-minute Gentle Hatha Flow session from Yoga Download. It was a nice class to awaken by body from sleep and start my day off on the right foot. The class had a little bit of everything– stretching, strengthening, and balance. My hamstrings and hips were SO tight this morning, so it felt really good to stretch them out. This session was perfect for a yoga newbie; I highly recommend it as a starting point.

How is the Yoga Challenge going for you?

For breakfast, I brought back an old friend: oat bran!

When I first started CNC, I used to eat oat bran all of the time (I love reading old posts), but somehow, it got left out of the usual breakfast rotation. Oat bran is so creamy, delicious, and satisfying– I’m so glad that it’s back!

In the mix:

Welcome back, oat bran!

In my iced coffee, I added some hazelnut milk. Unlike hemp or almond milk, the hazelnut milk blended right into my iced coffee– no weird chunkiness. (I’m still on the fence about the whole soy thing, so I’m trying some new milks in my life.)

I was a happy gal after this breakfast!

What’s your opinion of cell phones at the gym?
