They also stress taking your time and doing them when you can but when it is also stressed that you do them before classes start well then you can imagine my highly overwhelmed feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully a lot of these classes were focused on things I&#8217;ve already done in my personal life like reflecting on how foods make you feel, introducing new food items into rotation, and creating healthy recipes.<\/p>\n<p>OHC has that down!<\/p>\n<p>Saturday was glorious in that I got to sleep in and it was an extra rest day! Booyah! It was too windy out for a run and my bod was sore already from school stress and lots of weight work earlier in the week.\u00a0 I also didn&#8217;t have to even get out of my jammies! Rocks was a little under the weather (he&#8217;s 10, it happens) and therefore no walkies for anyone.<\/p>\n<p>I planted my butt on the couch and cranked out the rest of my fundamental classes.\u00a0 Now I just have to get all my notes typed up!<\/p>\n<p>Sunday I got a chance to run and it felt glorious! I was cranky because I didn&#8217;t sleep well the night before so my start time was later and I knew that a long run wasn&#8217;t happening.\u00a0 Once I was outside and had a chance to get some sun on my face, all was right with my world.\u00a0 I was able to push out a good five miles and something is better than nothing.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll take it!<\/p>\n<p>Once I got home and showered, I was starving! I quickly stuffed my face with some:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2% Fage<\/li>\n<li>Homemade Granola x2 (two diff kinds)<\/li>\n<li>Chocolate Chips<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Who says you can&#8217;t start your morning off with chocolate?\u00a0 Not this sister!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/OHC-01-16-11_pancakes.jpg\" data-rel=\"attachment-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12903\" title=\"Blueberry buckwheat pancakes \" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/OHC-01-16-11_pancakes-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/OHC-01-16-11_pancakes-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/OHC-01-16-11_pancakes.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>After eating the yogurt, I headed into the kitchen to get supper going in the crockpot.\u00a0 I can not even tell you how excited I was for dinner! Beef stew was on the menu and we had not had any in ages!\u00a0 While I was prepping ingredients, Scotty woke up and headed into the kitchen full of bedhead and cute.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t take a pic because I don&#8217;t want to embarrass him (today) and because he needs a haircut and shave like now.\u00a0 He looks like mountain crazy.\u00a0 Sleepy bedhead boys are my favorite though!<\/p>\n<p>Once the stew was going in the crockpot it was time to make Sunday Breakfast!<\/p>\n<p>I made pancakes even though I didn&#8217;t really feel like pancakes.\u00a0 I know, very hard to believe.\u00a0 Blueberry buckwheat pancakes with fresh squeezed OJ and some clementines.\u00a0 I had a ton of oranges that needed used up. They were not good for eating so I decided to juice them.\u00a0 Well I had Scott juice them.\u00a0 Would you believe 10 oranges only gave us 2C of juice. We each had a small glass, it was tasty but way too much work.<\/p>\n<p>We headed out for a short walk, it was a tad breezy so it was best not to stay out too long.\u00a0 The sun was still out and shining, such a nice change!\u00a0 Of course more winter weather is headed our way so we have to soak it up while we can.<\/p>\n<p>Literally the rest of the day was spent with me on the couch not doing a darn thing.\u00a0 After our walk, I changed back into my jammies and stayed that way the whole time!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/OHC-01-16-11_beef_stew.jpg\" data-rel=\"attachment-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12902\" title=\"Beef Stew \" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/OHC-01-16-11_beef_stew-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/OHC-01-16-11_beef_stew-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/OHC-01-16-11_beef_stew.jpg 467w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>This stuff smelled glorious all day long.\u00a0 Scott kept walking over to the crockpot and sniffing at it.\u00a0 Ha!\u00a0 It&#8217;s loaded down with veggies, lentils, and local beef.\u00a0 Plus some red wine for good measure.\u00a0 Both of us had heaping bowl fulls!<\/p>\n<p>We finished off Saturday&#8217;s Pens game while we ate.\u00a0 Horrible game but at least they won.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Campo_Viejo_tempranillo.jpg\" data-rel=\"attachment-image-3\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12901\" title=\"Campo Viejo Tempranillo\" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Campo_Viejo_tempranillo-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Campo_Viejo_tempranillo-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Campo_Viejo_tempranillo.jpg 467w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>Wine for the evening was a Campo Viejo Tempranillo.\u00a0 New to us and very delicious! Super fruity tasting and smelling plus it wasn&#8217;t too dry. It was a lovely lighter red wine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We spent the rest of the evening watching Inception.\u00a0 We don&#8217;t do movies at the theater, I would much rather have a nice dinner out than spend that kind of money on something that will probably not be very good.\u00a0 Anyway Inception was alright.\u00a0 The ending isn&#8217;t a final ending, it is left for the viewer to interpret which irritates me.\u00a0 I know some people like that but I do not.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t invest all that time into watching or reading something only to be left hanging, thanks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Also? You do not have to see this on the big screen, don&#8217;t let folks fool you.\u00a0 It&#8217;s totally fine to watch on TV.\u00a0 Though, IMO, there aren&#8217;t many movies that warrant needing a huge screen to watch them on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Whoa! Sorry to sound like such a movie hater! I swear I&#8217;m not, I&#8217;m just super picky about what I like and what I don&#8217;t like.\u00a0 Sadly, most times I end up not liking something, especially if everyone else likes it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After that I headed up to bed and called it a night.
