Hello Pumpkin!

Hey Guys! Happy Tuesday of this, the most thankful of weeks. :) How are you? I’m doing pretty well.  Work was a bit slow today – I think all of my writers are gearing up for the holiday – but it was still a good day. 

I started out with some pumpkin oats – this was 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup water and about 1/3-1/2 cup organic pumpkin.  I added a spoon of pb and some honey to the top.  Yum.  Delish.

Lunch was more veggie stew leftovers with a piece of pumpkin cornbread, of course (just in case I didn’t get enough pumpkin).

I definitely will be making that stew again.  It was so good.  The eggplant was especially delicious.

Snack was a plain oikos with nanner.

Once I got home, I couldn’t wait to hit the yoga mat.  I was pretty hungry though and so I had half of a kashi TLC trail mix bar. It fueled me through the 45 minute yoga fitness fusion from exercise TV.  Its definitely my favorite flow.  Such a good mix of toughness and gloriousness. :)

After yoga, I was SO ready for dinner.  I made 1/4 cup of couscous (dry – makes about a 1/2 cup cooked?) and stir-fried up some bell pepper, broccoli, spinach and a quorn chick’n cutlet.  For an asian inspired sauce, I mixed 1T crunchy almond butter with some hot sauce and boiling water (to make it thinner).  It was delicious.

I should probably pack for my parents’ house, but I think I may play some solo Rock Band first. :) I’ve been hankering to play guitar (wii-tar?). 

Have a great night my friends!

Check this out!

Glad you had a good day! Thanksgiving is so close now - I can almost taste the pumpkin pie!! :) Mmmmm, pie!!

I just love that yoga workout too! I was planning to do it today also, but my OCD tendencies took over and I cleaned my house instead. I'm going to try to fit it in tomorrow though - before or after my dr.'s appt.

I love Imogen Heap - wellll, I've only heard that one song - the whatcha say song... Anyway, Andrew is watching something on TV right next to me, but I'm going to keep this song bookmarked and listen to it soon! THANK YOU!! :) I love your taste in music!

Your asian AB sauce sounds delicious!! Waaaaay better sounding than any kind of take-out!!

Have fun playing your wii-tar!! :)

I think maybe more yoga is something I need to take up! Are you doing yoga that is challenging or a bunch of different poses?? I know they have like the yoga sculpt, or the "breathing yoga"..what do you do mostly?? Does it help you relax?
