Meal Planning & Tornadoes

Happy Monday!

The whole world looks like a rainstorm today & we have tornado warnings here in West Palm (yes - we're back for another quick visit with family!). Chloe is teething once again and this has brought a bit of turmoil to our nice little sleeping routine. So I'm now just waiting for her to wake up and then we're going to spend the day girl style at the mall!

I had to forego my morning run today and instead tried out a yoga DVD that I picked up at Walmart - Jillain Michaels Yoga Meltdown.

I actually loved this for a few reasons - it's quick (there are two 30 min workouts), dirt cheap and it's more of a hybrid style yoga that mixes lots of aerobic activity in between the poses so that you're getting your heart rate up at the same time.

I just finished planning out our meals for the week and looking forward to hitting up Whole Foods this afternoon. Being that I'm here with my in laws - I have to try to make dinners that everyone will like but still eat clean. Hoping this menu till hit the spot!

M Chicken Pesto Pizza

T Black Bean Quesadillas

W Spaghetti & Veg Balls with Salad

Th Spinach & Black Bean Lasagna. Whole Wheat Blueberry Choc Cake for dessert.

F Coconut Chicken, Green Beans & Herbed Potatoes

Sa Chicken & Veg Stir Fry with brown rice

Su Dinner out

I'm also going to do a little baking this week as I've got a boatload of super ripe bananas. So choco banana bread & protein bars it is!

Head on over to Org Junkie if you want to participate in the weekly meal planning!

Sweat Once a Day

Did you know that today there were free yoga classes being offered all over the US? How awesome is that? Mr Swell & I did a vinyasa class outdoors, in front of the beautiful ocean in downtown West Palm today...it was a challenging class but there was such a nice breeze blowing through.

I also managed to pick up a few yoga goodies from the vendors that were there...because leave it to me to find a way to spend money at a free event!

You know what else was awesome? I got to try out the yoga bag I made the other night that I'm feeling a teensy weensy proud of. I used this tutorial to make it and it turned out exactly how I wanted it. I think somebody's found a new hobby.

Namaste,

Chloe the Yogi

Today was our first Mom & Baby Yoga...it's every Wed morning for 8 weeks. Chloe was awesome today - she fell asleep in the car on the way to class and slept for the first 5 minutes. I was glad she woke up though cause I wanted to show off her yoga moves! She LOVES stretching!! It was so nice to spend an hour with her kissing her in between chaturungas & tickling her in between warrior poses. She was so good the whole class and didn't fuss till the very end. We went with Kelly & Emily (who's 7 months old now) and we're going to go for a picnic lunch next week after class.

I love my little yogi babe!
