Day twenty five...yoga on the brain.

I put myself to bed before I had a chance to finish my last thoughts for yesterday's entry. Just what I needed. After eight beautiful hours of sleep, breakfast in my tummy, and coffee pulsing through my veins..I was ready to go and full of energy all day.

Breakfast: 4 eggs scrambled, 1/2 avocado, sweet potato onion hash, 3 strawberries, and a handful of blueberries, 1 cup coffee. Went to the park/soccer field for a 20 minute run afterwards. When I say 20, I mean only 20. Ankles are finally feeling better and I don't want to push it.

Lunch: 6 oz sauteed ground chicken, fresh ginger, fresh garlic, shitake mushrooms, parsilla peppers, water chestnuts, yellow onions, pepper, tamari soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and sesame seed oil. 3 iceberg lettuce wraps. I actually stayed full for awhile after this. Yes!

Snack: 1 orange.

Post workout meal: 6 oz grilled chicken breast, handful of macadamia nuts.

Snack: 1 apple, tablespoon of almond butter. New addiction.

Dinner: 2 char grilled bacon wrapped sea scallops, 4 grilled shrimp with fresh lemon juice and olive oil, 1 cup mixed greens with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, 1/4 cup sauteed garlic swiss chard, chopped grilled serrano pepper, 1/4 cup broccoli slaw, red cabbage, and cilantro. Bacon wrapped anything is amazing. Next time I'll wrap the shrimp too!

Snack: 3 oz grilled chicken, handful of blackberries.

It's been over a month since I last did yoga because of my ankles and I've thought about it every day. Now that I'm feeling better, I may start going to a class or two a week. I love that my body has been as sore as it has lately and am looking forward to the extra stretch. On that note, think I'll go foam roll my back, calves, and hamstrings before bedtime. Nighty night :)
