Start the Day in a Lovely way....Amateur yoga, cheap coffee and Jesus



Today was the easy day on my 1/2 marathon training schedule...Yoga only. I started my day with 45 minutes of yoga. I use the apps "daily yoga for abs" (free) and "daily yoga for butt" ($.99).

Skinny Recipe: Lemon Basil Pasta with Blackened Grilled Chicken



I did work in the gym today so I was ravished for carbs come dinner time.
I managed to forgo 17 Oreos and threw together one of my favorite quick, filling, low cal recipes.

It comes in at 336 calories a serving! Taste guilty but entirely innocent.


Yums. Try it

From couch to 13 point freaking 1...Tinker Bell here I come!








   When I was a teenager spending the summer at my grandparent's house my grandma was reminiscing about me running around in circles in their 4 acre backyard for hours....I was shocked. Something had to have been chasing me. I just don't run. I'd like to, but I don't or I can't...or something of that nature. So she continued to tell me how she loved to run when she was younger because all she ever wanted was to "be free"...so familiar.

.....I listened and replied ,"I'd love to run. I wish I could. I wish I was one of those girls but It's just not my thing." 

These are a few of my favorite things....Cirque,flake and Paula Deen


April's favorite things

    Well, Hubby is out "playing war".....on a field op in Twenty Nine Palms, doing what Marines do. It's just me, the pup and our crazy cat....So I decided to use the lonesome evening to put together a favorite things list for the month! Some are discoveries and some are forever faves. Enjoy!

Once upon a blog

    I have decided to take on blogging....For I think the 3rd time. The goal is to get past the 3rd post. I'm not very tech savvy so bare with me. I feel like I need to give you a memoir in the first post (because my life has just settled down from a CRAZY exciting stretch)...but I will spare you with a short (somewhat) introduction.
 
      A little background history--- I was born and raised in Oklahoma and am true to my roots.
