Free Yoga

Today a yoga studio near me, Yoga4Everybody, was celebrating its 5th year anniversary and so they had a free day of yoga classes. I went to two 45 minute sampler classes: one was Intro to Vinyasa Flow and the other was Intro to Kripalu Yoga. I liked them both a lot! I had done Vinyasa before (I am fairly new to yoga but have definitely done quite a few classes randomly in my past) but have never done Kripalu. Apparently, Kripalu was originated in Lenox Massachusetts and is slowly spreading elsewhere. The poses were all about “compassion” and there were a lot of neat ways we moved our body that I hadn’t ever seen or done before. So it was definitely time well spent! It wasn’t the hardest workout but I still sweat a little and got a GREAT stretch. 

I woke up around 7 and made breakfast so I could digest before the first class at 9. 

In this oatmeal went: 

• 1/2c Quaker Old Fashioned Oats
• over 1 cup of water
• Half of a banana, thinly sliced
• Pinch salt, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4c Total cereal for crunch
• about 1/2 tbspn Pumpkin butter
• handful of raisins
• spoonful of natural Almond Butter

When I came back from yoga, I was hungry and ready for lunch at around 11:45. I had been wanting to make a veggie/hummus wrap all day yesterday so decided to make it today since I was home. 

 

My mom brought home these little hummus packets that each have two servings, so 100 calories in each tub. So cute! I used the roasted garlic flavor today, and used just over half of the tub. 

And plopped it down on one of these tortillas. 

I used some leftover veggies and made a little side dish with some of Annie’s Natural Honey Mustard Vinaigrette drizzled on top.

And to round out the meal, I had a 0% Fage with a handful of blueberries, a large cut up strawberry and a small handful of some sort of Whole Wheat Cheerios we had leftover from Trader Joes. I drizzled the whole concoction with a little bit of honey too! 

I still felt like I needed something sweet. I don’t know why I always seem to crave a dessert, but I decided to please my sweet tooth and have a little bit of Dark Chocolate. I had about 2 squares. 

And that’s all for now! I am hoping to take a niiiiice hot shower and do some cleaning/laundry and then maybe a movie later! Glad I got my exercise done for the day and I can get a lot done now. Have a great day!! (I love how I know I have no readers but I still like pretending…)
