Ahhhh. A good long walk was exactly what I needed this afternoon. I can’t wait to be in a walking city again – I really miss being able to walk everywhere! I was so spoiled with that being in Boston and New York all my life!
I followed up my hour of walking with 20 quick minutes of much-needed yoga.
It seriously felt so good.
Afterward I showered, got into my christmas pajamas (obviously) and flipped through the newest J.Crew catalog (so many things I want…so little money with which to buy it!) while watching Fred Clause on ABC Family.
Not a bad afternoon if I do say so myself
Around 5pm I started to get hungry so I grabbed myself an apple to munch on.
For dinner I decided to keep with the Italian theme and made whole wheat pasta with Trader Joe’s veggie meatballs smothered in a slice of reduced fat mozzarella and sauce.
On the side I added another salad and the rest of our wheat loaf (plus olive oil for dipping of course!) from the other night.
Oh winter light…how I loathe you.
I remembered liking the Trader Joe’s veggie meatballs much more in the past…not sure if I just haven’t had them in a while and was expecting something different or if I just need to get used to them again…
And since I shared my latest song obsession with you last night, I’ll leave you with my newest blog obsession:

Perfect winter meal! There’s something about Italian in the winter. It’s like a food hug. 🙂
Cait says
It TOTALLY is!
Molly @ RDexposed says
I need to start doing yoga in the mornings just because it feels so good. You may have just sparked a new years resolution for myself.
Cait says
Haha yay! I’m with you though – I don’t do it nearly as much as I should and I have no idea why because every time I do, it just feels so good.

Looks like an absolutely wonderfully relaxing afternoon… I might follow suit tomorrow afternoon, this week has been a bit draining. TGIF 😀
Cait says
Definitely do it!! Everyone needs a nice rejuvenating afternoon once in a while!
