Resolutions and blueberry pancakes



Pancakes with Tofutti cream cheese and blueberries.

About that resolution I had to hit most of the flow yoga classes at the YMCA starting today? 

Well, since I slept through the alarm and woke up 15 minutes after the class had finished, the whole 'YMCA yoga' resolution did not get off to a booming start.

But, I refuse to be discouraged and I am going to be spending an hour with Rodney.



I will just have to pretend that Rodney and I are practicing yoga at the Y. I am sure Rodney teaches yoga at the Y all the time:-)


And the hour will be spent with the dogs circling my mat like low flying Cessnas. But a yoga mat covered in dog hair means you are well loved, right? 


Back to breakfast:


Pancakes with Tofutti cream cheese, blueberries and mixed fruit.

Since I had leftover pancake mix, the dogs got to enjoy little mini pancakes with smoked salmon.










I had another big mug of the new instant coffee this morning. And, yes, I had the slim hope that it would taste better this morning, but nope. Unfortunately, this is the only source of caffeine in the house at the moment, so I drank it down anyway.


Does it make me shallow that the only reason I chose this instant coffee was for the strange looking container? 




Nah, it doesn't make me shallow. Does it mean I am easily lured in by odd shapes? Possibly.


Happy Friday!

A day of firsts and resolutions

I used to have a very dedicated yoga practice but I had to put it on hold when the trouble with my feet started.

I woke up today in a funky mood. Rather than depending on caffeine to boost my attitude I decided to just get up and do some sun salutations. 

Within 20 minutes I was sweating profusely, most of my muscles were trembling with fatigue and I felt much happier. 

So, today was a first. I chose a much healthier alternative to mood management and I made a resolution. For the next 30 days I am going to start the day with yoga.

Oh, yeah, and after yoga I did have coffee - I don't plan on cutting out caffeine - just not rushing to it as a first choice.


Greek yogurt, muesli, slivered almonds, apple and a dollop of raspberry jam.




Coffee.
I am going to see Black Swan this afternoon. I will let you know if it is any good :-)
