Bummer

I’m 255 calories over my goal intake today. I was over yesterday too.

Yesterday I went out and had a few drinks. It was fun and I can let myself off on that since being sociable is important. But tonight … I just ate an entire peanut butter muffin with jam while standing over the muffin tin for no other reason than I wanted it. This was after indulging in cookies.

I wasn’t hungry.

I now, in fact, feel overly full.

What good did this accomplish?

Nothing.

I know being hard on yourself is counter productive and that positivity is important, but I’m kind of peeved at myself. Why did I do that?

Hello from my kitchen!

Baking in my yoga clothes.

I’m making those peanut butter banana muffins I reblogged yesterday. I revamped the recipe slightly. If they turn out well, I shall post ‘em!

Choices: Yoga/Noga

Do I go to free yoga tonight at the Comcast Center Plaza here in Philly? LuluLemon hosts free classes every thursday evening and I think that is beyond cool! I’ve yet to go to a class.

Do I go? Or do I just yoga at home?

Today for lunch I was going to make myself an open-faced hummus sandwich …

but then an epiphany occurred to me and I realized as I squished the half of a red pepper I was topping off the sandwich with onto the top of all my fixins that the pepper could act as the other side of the bread!

Thus creating the pepper bread sandwich.

Ta da!

What’s inside:

hummus
Romaine
carrots
salsa
Red chili sauce
Ezekiel sesame toast

SO GOOD!

Dare I say, epic.

Now go make one!

I saw the cutest boy walking home from a workout last night. He was chugging water like his life depended on it, and when I looked down, in his hand was a yoga mat. :-) Boys doing yoga = awesome! getyouryogaon: Good workout everyone!! *:D - @louiswithsunfaces- #webstagram
