{I got mail}

Hey Everyone! Its Thursday!! which means tomorrow the weekend begins.. & its going to be a crazy one.. but I can't wait either way!! I live for the weekends, now I know what your thinking.. I know I'm a stay at home mom and that every day is like a weekend (sort of) but the Mr. gets to be home and that is my favorite thing about it. :)

Alright down to business.

{Breakfast}

Oatmeal.. fancy that?! surprised? I didn't think so..

Now my computer won't flip this picture.. so awkwardly tilt your head to the left and say "YUM...."

I used my Pumpkin Butter for a little flava flav this morning. 

1/3 cup old fashioned oats

cinnamon & nutmeg

1/2 scoop of elite 12 hour protein

2 tbs of pumpkin butter

1 scoop (with my spoon) of libbys pumpkin

1 tbs of almond butter

and topped it off with some almonds

I must say I enjoyed it and you will too.

After Breakfast I did a little yoga X

yep, you know it.. self portrait.. self taught no lessons.. 

seriously though. Yoga kicks my trash ola..

I'm a new yogi but honestly.. I would rather run 5 miles then engage in such torture.. 

But I do love it at the same time.. I can already tell a difference with my posture and flexibility and I have only been doing it faithfully for 3 weeks. I am getting ready to take my first class... now that I got the basic moves I won't look like such a newbie hopefully.. eek. and so I don't have to listen to that p90x dudes voice.. he drives me crazy.. p.s.

After yoga I sat down to enjoy this little concoction 

I like to call it.

YO to the CheeSe 

check it

1/2 of a Strawberry Greek Yogurt.. the kroger brand.. (my new fave)

1/2 cup or more of fat free cottage

3 almonds.

protein packed.. 

Oh what was that..?. you like that mini bowl.. yes, the Mr. and I made those in our ceramics class after we got engaged.. :)

After a few hours of feeding burping and changing and playing..

We decided to head to Bountiful to check out the fall leaves.. It was beautiful, I love the mountains in Bountiful in the fall.. It smells fally and is amazing to see all the orange, yellow and red leaves.. 

We ran along the Boulevard for a few milers
& the babes were out...

again.. turn head awkwardly and *sigh*

A few Q & A

what is xanthan gum?

Its just a thickner for my shakes, I recently got gaur gum too which makes it a bit creamier, just how I like it! You can get it at any whole foods store or sunflower, Its a bit pricy, ahem $14 but it last a long time Because a little goes a long way..

How often do you do cardio?

I do cardio.. every day.. but at different intensity.. Depends on my mood.. but I kick into gear at least 3 times a week.

Until tomorrow..
