Hi guys!\u00a0 I enjoyed this:<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/p>\n

While I stayed up way too late kicking it with some Pulp Fiction. “Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face.”\u00a0 Just talking about it cracks me up.\u00a0 I have a tremendously twisted sense of humor so movies like Pulp Fiction and Fargo make me laugh. :D\u00a0 I know they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but I dig ’em.<\/p>\n

Because I got to bed so late, I was having Pulp Fiction type dreams which were just way too action packed for that time of day.\u00a0 I eventually dragged my butt outta bed at 8am today, took care of Rocky and did some yoga.\u00a0 My legs told me that running was out of the question.\u00a0 I did Morning Flow this morning and hated it.\u00a0 UGH with the backbends that early in the day. Oh well, it did get me moving and I did feel better afterwards.\u00a0 I prefer more leg and hip stretching in yoga not gymnastics.<\/p>\n

After stretching, I woke up Scott and then made some breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/p>\n

Hooray for repeats!\u00a0 This time with two nectarines because we’re getting crazy up in harre!\u00a0 Some 2% Fage and fruit and nut granola with a very happening cup of coffee.\u00a0 My morning was boring.\u00a0 Not to me of course but for storytelling purposes it’s pretty boring.\u00a0 I read blogs and did officey stuff.\u00a0 You know, emails and all that stuff.\u00a0 I also started listening to Jillian’s podcast from Sunday.\u00a0 I’m only halfway through it but it’s awesome.\u00a0 The message in the beginning about not being afraid to be great and the best person you can be?<\/p>\n

Whoa, some heavy shit right there.\u00a0 Love it!<\/p>\n

Then I cleaned the house and made some lunch.\u00a0 I am out of mixed greens for salad.\u00a0 I know, I gasped too when I realized it.\u00a0 I decided that it was time to get creative.\u00a0 You know and I know (by now) that I like to keep things raw at lunch time.\u00a0 Well maybe you haven’t noticed but I try to stick with raw things at lunch and then have cooked whatevers at dinner.\u00a0 I feel the best when I follow a schedule of grains, raw, and then cooked for my meals.<\/p>\n

While not every single thing is raw in this lunch, I did a pretty damn good job and I was happy. :D<\/p>\n

\"Taco<\/a><\/p>\n

Taco!<\/p>\n

Shredded cabbage, carrot, and zucchini tossed in some salsa and black eye peas added for protein and texture.\u00a0 In a basic yellow-corn tortilla.<\/p>\n

\"Watermelon<\/a><\/p>\n

Melon time!<\/p>\n

\"Smoothie<\/a><\/p>\n

Crazy smoothie!<\/p>\n
