(Sara is in the photo too! Hi Sara!)

Kelly liked it! In fact, she signed up for the same 40 for 40 deal that I got! Just one more sister bonding experience for the two of us. I love my sister. :)

Tonight’s practice was very slow and focused on holding positions for strength. I was very shaky at the end of class – a good sign. With each class I really find myself getting deeper and deeper into the practice. I’m making adjustments as I flow and can feel the benefits from each position. I’m becoming quite the yogi. ;)

Before class I had a strawberry oikos with granola.

I was a little nervous having dairy so close to a hot yoga practice ( dairy is usually a no-no for me before runs and work outs), but my stomach was fine. :)

After class I took my time preparing a great post-yoga meal.

I steamed some yucca with onions and topped it with the tiniest piece of butter.

And paired that with left over sweet potato

Anti-Headphones

by Meghann on May 19, 2010

I have a question for those of you who listen to music via headphones while you are working: How do you do it?

I’ve had my headphones in for the last hour or so listening to the Spring Awakening CD and all I want to do is sit back and listen to the music. I find it very distracting when trying to type anything up. For mindless data entry listening to music seems great, but for any sort of writing? I just can’t do it.

(p.s. Anyone else believe headphones are the devil? I don’t mind headphones when I’m running, but any other time I LOATHE them. I think my ears are claustrophobic – just like my feet. ;) )

Mid-morning I snacked on a Dark Chocolate Coconut Kashi Bar.

Lunch was a big, beautiful salad.

I was channeling my inner Eating Bender with a little Tuna Humbecue Salad action.

Tuna Humbecue = Tuna + Hummus + Barbeque Sauce :)

Wow, all I can say is wow.
