Yoga Challenge (day 5), co-op haul, and FLOG

I'm regretting not getting up earlier this morning and doing my yoga first thing, because I've had a very long, very busy day, and I still have to squeeze in a short practice! I'm planning on 20 minutes of "Stress Relief Yoga for Beginners" right before bed -- I guess I can't think of a nicer way to unwind after a nutzo day!

~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up to this sight this morning:

(Please ignore how DIRTY my fridge is!)

Good thing I planned on grocery shopping after work tonight! Things are looking a little brighter after spending $87 . . .



BULK:
organic "gold & white" flour
local, organic, whole-wheat bread flour
locally-roasted, organic, fair-trade coffee

FROZEN:
local, organic garden veggie pizza

HERBS & SPICES:
local, organic celery salt
kava root

PACKAGED GROCERY:
organic diced tomatoes

PRODUCE:

I was shocked when I looked at my receipt -- 44% of my purchase was local! Whoa! That's a damn miracle for early March in Minnesota!

The day in food . . .

Pre-breakfast:

Since I was out of coffee, I treated myself to a soy latte. I'm proud of myself for bringing my own mug!

This was my planned breakfast for work:

Imagine the muffin wasn't there . . . because the inside was moldy! Ick. I should know better by now -- STORE MUFFINS IN FRIDGE. So, I only ate the pineapple.

By mid-morning, I was whopper-hungry, (soymilk and pineapple can only take a person so far,) so I raided our stash of kid snacks:

Bug-shaped graham cracker bites did the job. It was the only thing in the stash that didn't contain huge amounts of high-fructose corn syrup. (Shudder!)

Lunch:

Brown rice and spinach-tomato dal, and an apple.

Snack:

Peanut butter and apple butter pita. YUM.

Dinner:

Two slices of the frozen pizza I bought tonight, and a nice green salad, topped with cucumbers and grape tomatoes. I'm also going to go take my vitamin right now, since I'm realizing I forgot to take it this morning!

I still have a few little odds and ends to tie up before the end of the evening -- and don't forget the yoga! Until tomorrow! (It's ALMOST Friday! Woo!)
