Up dark and early this morning for some one on one time with my yoga mat and my pal Dawnelle from Yogadownload.com.
Yesterday morning after my run I found myself thinking “I need to do yoga” and this morning as I was rolling out my mat I thought “I should be running”. This is one of those moments where I reminded myself to live in the moment and be truly present and focused on what I’m doing now, instead of what else I could be doing. How very yogi of me.
More Yoga for Runners this morning with some Sun Salutations too – a grand total of about 45 minutes.
Out of greens for juicing, today’s juice du jour was Carrot Apple Ginger.
I’m now officially out of carrots too.
I used three carrots, a medium crispin apple, a chunk of ginger and a little cucumber too. These flavors work so well together! The ginger made it so spicy, and I enjoyed the change of green juice pace this morning.
I’ve already plugged my numbers into The Daily Plate too!
(167 calories for carrot apple ginger juice.)
So easy and fun! A big thanks to all of you who recommended it! I’m loving it, I can’t wait to play with it some more. If I look at this like a science experiment, it’s just fun and motivating instead of tedious and all-consuming.
Now if I could just stop thinking “I could just be using a notebook” when I’m entering data in The Daily Plate I’ll be all set.
OH Mama… I could so use a sip of your Carrot apple ginger juice! it’s like SUNSHINE in a glass!
I sipped my TEA last night…it felt like dessert!
Than JJ stole it…drug a bag out of the box and proceeded to rip it apart before I could get it out of his little hand. my floor and CAT were covered in sugar cookie “crumbs”
cat didn’t appreciate being rode like a horse and covered in sugar cookie tea crumbs.
I never laughed so hard!
you put a huge ole smile on my face last night…many many thanks
AHHHHHHHH yoga.
I am addicted these days. been doing round one in the am and round 2 at night.
I am so happy you are enjoying the food journaling.
are you going to RUN to the store now for lettuce and carrots?
I need more ginger too..can you grab me a nob?
thanks!
xoxoxox
it’s friday for me…you know what that means?
I checked out the daily plate…love! I’m following your wonderful example and using it as well. ‘Tis awesome!
Ok so yesterday I downloaded some yoga for runners from Yogadownloads with the intention of giving it a whirl last night….
furniture moved? check
downloads ready? check
camera set up? checkity check check
pictures I’m willing to share? HELL NO!
Ok, so maybe I need to find a beginners class and try it there because what is in those pictures is NOT even close to what was on the download printout even though when I was doing it I felt like I was doing what it showed…NOT.
And enjoyable? NOPE…. I really want to like it, but I’ve got to be doing something wrong…
YAY for your juice and your Daily Plate!! You make me want to be a better person…corny I know but it’s true!
Have a wonderful day!!

If you want a glimpse of the insanity that was my daily plate account, I’ll let you know my account name. I actually got an email from a random person that was like, “Are you an accountant? Damn, you are meticulous.” Not when it comes to housework, sweetheart.
what a great way to start the morning!
hahaha…i am a TOTAL notebook person. i was obsessed with Gmail calender for oh – 2 days before i returned to my planner. i made to-do lists on Gmail too. yep, back to good ol’ scratch paper. call me old-fashioned
love the color of that juice!!!!
Hey! I have been using the Daily Plate for almost a year and really like it. Sometimes it’s buggy, but for the most part it’s cool. I used to use a notebook, but I love how precise TDP can be, with charts of your progress, calories burned, etc.
Good Luck!
Yes, you could be using a notebook, but you know that this is much more time efficient to use the Daily Plate!! No calculator!!
YES and I especially love that adjusting the portion size is a whole lot easier too! It’s also been a lot easier today adding foods as I go throughout the day, rather than entering everything in at once like I did last night.
We had very similar juice this morning. Unfortunately, I was out of ginger, so it didn’t have that nice spiciness.
Have fun with your science experiment!
mm never would I ever think a veggie juice looks delicious but yours looks like a smoothie – must try soon
This juice looks very pretty! I bet it was a fun change up from the usual green. I took today off from working out (first day in a while) and feel quite antsy but knew my body would need it before this weekend!
Carrot apple ginger = my kind of juice. Not green tasting and no green pulp. And sweet(ish). God I need to start juicing..
Congrats for staying in the moment with your yoga. If you practiced with me, you would no longer want/need to run. Just sayin my honey bunny go get immersed in ashtanga and I bet your running desires will dissipate. The only reason you will want to run is to run away from your kids. Like I run away from Skylar & Scott in the a.m. for 20 mins, not b/c I want to run, I just want to run away LOL
I have used the daily plate before too, great idea! the things that the internet can do for us these days is amazing! glad your likin it my love!
