It was a busy afternoon!
Clara was looking a little gloomy (I think she misses her Mommy)…
So I decided to take her for a walk to cheer her up!
She perked up the moment I said “Clara, do you want to go for a walk!?”
The word “walk” alone would’ve done the trick!
We did a slow mile around the block and then I came back to do a nice hour-long session of yoga.
Clara stayed close by me with her toy should I want to take a break and play randomly throughout the session…ha.
Such dedication.
The yoga session was good but I think my tolerance for longer yoga sessions is waning. I used to take an hour long class every single week day when I was in college but in my “older age” I’ve found I enjoy the 20-40 minute sessions best.
It’s funny how things like that change. Maybe the busier you get, the more appealing the quicker bursts of exercise become…who knows!
Lunch followed – and it was something I haven’t had in such a long time!
I can’t remember the last time I had one of these…it’s definitely been far too long and I have to say it tasted good!
Into the bowl went:
- Spring mix
- Avocado
- Dr. Praeger’s California Veggie Burger
- Shredded carrots
- Onions
Topped with red wine vinegar and oil.
On the side I had a bunch of fresh fruit that I picked up from the salad bar at the grocery store:
Grapes > Watermelon > Pineapple > Strawberries > Cantaloupe.
Refreshing.
I thought the pineapple would be my favorite but I think I enjoyed the red grapes best!
A terrific lunch.
After lunch I went out to get a quick manicure/pedicure (Chad and I have a wedding to go to this weekend) and then came home to snack…
This orange was WAY too dry. I hate when that happens.
A handful of dry roasted almonds was added for a little more snack satisfaction:
They did the trick!
I munched on them while watching Gilmore Girls:
A couple episodes later, it was time for dinner!
Another favorite that I haven’t had in a while…
Homemade Mexican!
Burrito…
Made with turkey, homemade guacamole, salsa, lettuce.
Blue corn chips…
Homemade guac + salsa for dipping:
Deliciously filling and satisfying!
Mom and I are now on the couch getting ready to catch up on last night’s Modern Family.
Night!

I find when I’ve taken a long break from yoga I have to re-work myself up to those hour practice–not out of physical weakness, but mental.
Love the GG. Going to rewatch the whole show when I have some time. It’s my favorite.
That’s true – it’d be interesting to see if I were more consistent with it, if that happened!
And yay! Me too. I own the whole series on DVD and watch it over and over!
What a wonderful and relaxing day you had! I used to eat Dr. Pregers veggie burger salads all of the time but I haven’t bought them in ages. Seeing yours is making me crave one now. Old school veggie burger salads are where it’s at!
Haha I agree!! It was more than time to bring back the oldie but goodie! 🙂
I love Gilmore Girls i miss it!
Me too! Except I own the whole series on DVD and watch it again and again so it’s like it never left 🙂
You’re a good doggy mommy 🙂 I’m going to take our yellow lab for a walk to the park as soon as my daughter gets up from her nap!
Your burrito looks so fresh and yummy…most of the time I prefer homemade to what you can get at Chipotle or one of those places!
I agree – homemade is always better. And thank you! Enjoy your walk in the park!
I’ve been loving salads like that recently- perfect lunch especially now that the weather is warming up! I’m with you about yoga- anything more than 30 minutes and I start to lose interest!
🙂 Glad I’m not alone!
I’m trying to work up my yoga time, too! I hope to get to 30 minutes, so I’m impressed with you hour!
Haha – don’t be too impressed, it probably won’t happen again for a while!
Clara is so cute! My poodle does the exact same thing when I work out at home, even when I’m doing crossfit or something and jumping around like a maniac he’s following me with his favorite toy. 🙂
Thank you! And I know – it’s so adorable when they do that you almost can’t get mad!
I LOVE fresh fruit, especially watermelon. Stands NO chance around me 🙂
Around me either! Especially in summer!
was that “grapes beat watermelon beats…” hahaha.
Hahaha – I thought about doing it that way but then I couldn’t decide so I decided just to list it in random order 🙂
Aww, Clara, Clara!
Also, my patience for yoga is dwindling, too. I just can’t get myself there mentally…which I suppose is the point, haha.
Hahaha I know. That’s exactly what’s happening to me.
Awww Clara!! I love how dogs are so happy when confronted with the simplest of things. Walk, toys, affection etc it’s too cute! And they do love to get involved when you workout at home, don’t they? Bless! 🙂
Haha totally!
