TGIT, am I right! Sometimes I feel more relief on a Thursday than I do on a Friday. Once I've made it to Thursday I now my week is over, who really works hard on a Friday?!
To help me get through the day I had a quick 15 minute yoga practice! My work buddy, Sam, is completing her yoga teacher training and shared a few simple moves you can do at your desk to stretch things out. Today 5 of us opted to sit in the kitchen for 15 minutes to do these poses and boy did it work wonders! I immediately felt more alert and refreshed! So thank you Sam for the mid day practice.
I came home tonight after some retail therapy and decided to have a little treat. Popcorn! Not movie theatre, buttery popcorn, just plain old dry popcorn. OK, not quite. I did add a little seasoning, sugar and cinnamon! Who knew they would compliment the popcorn so well? I did put on a little bit of oil to help the sugar to stick to the popcorn (you could also use some melted butter, I was too lazy). Mmm, it reminds me of when I was a kid and would butter a piece of toast and slather it in cinnamon sugar!
So tomorrow's goal it to get up early (ha!) and get in a little exercise. Even 15 minutes. If today taught me anything it's that it only takes 15 minutes to feel good. Some push ups, jumping jacks, squats, lunges and a few crunches should do the trick and it will put me on track for my busy weekend.
Saturday I'm hoping to attend Sam's yoga class in the morning. After days of rough workouts I'm ready for a good stretch. Her 10am class is the perfect time! I love getting home before noon knowing I've done my body good. It puts me in a great mood and gets me out the door early.
After some much needed cleaning I have a goodbye dinner for my sister to attend. She's headed out to LA to finish her BFA in Musical Theatre. I may be biased but she's got an amazing voice, you should all expect to see her on Broadway someday! We're going to a Chinese restaurant that also serves Canadian cuisine, so I'm hoping a vegetarian semi-healthy dish is attainable.
I'll have some fun recipes to share with you Sunday as the girls are coming over for a little potluck. Think colour, crescent rolls and Daiya.
