How many tries does it take to get a semi-quality picture of me in a tree pose?
Three???
Apparently Four…
Hey, the camera adds a lot of pressure!
(Also, when Ryan is the camera man and makes you laugh every time, it takes a little longer.)
We had fun replicating the poses from the yoga class we took this morning. Yes, I said the yoga class that we took!
I actually got he-man Ryan to take a 9:30 a.m. yoga basics class with me.
As we were leaving the class, I asked Ryan what he thought and he said he enjoyed it and liked the fact that it went by really fast and didn’t include a whole lot of meditation time.
Ryan took a yoga class back in college that included billions of sun salutations. Since he’s not looking to yoga to be his primary workout, I think he really liked that the class we took today was a basics class that was easier and simply focused on stretching out the body.
We met up at yoga after he was done with his upper body workout and I completed a five mile run with Sadie.
An easy-paced yoga class after a five mile run felt like heaven!
Since I hadn’t eaten anything since 8 a.m. when I had a peanut butter tortilla roll-up, by the time we were done with our yoga class around 10:45 a.m., my stomach was grumblin’.
Breakfast
At Whole Foods last night Ryan nabbed a pack of Applegate turkey bacon that we planned to cook up for breakfast. I love the company’s slogan: All of the meat. None of the mystery. Awesome.
The smell of bacon may be one of the most intoxicatingly delicious smells in the world.
I cooked the bacon and a couple of fried eggs while Ryan moved the ginormous pile of wedding presents we’ve started to accumulate from the middle of our living room into our spare room.
Breakfast was ready quickly and we both cleaned our plates.
Along with the eggs and turkey bacon, I also had a toasted whole wheat sandwich thin spread with half of a wedge of Laughing Cow light original Swiss cheese (Ryan had the other half).
Between the two of us, we polished off the entire pack of bacon.
Well, Sadie helped a little. I mean she was going to bite our faces off if we didn’t share, after all.
When it comes to food, she means business. 😉
Now that we’re full from breakfast, let the day begin!
Our plans include:
- Get some sun
- Print wedding programs & invitations
- Unpack some wedding gifts
- Organize bridesmaid gifts
- Special dinner date
I’ll be back in a bit!
Something to Check Out
If you’re looking for somethin’ to read, feel free to check out the latest issue of Brink Magazine for a little feature about the blog (page 14)!
Side note to my friends and family: My phone is not working at the moment due to the water bottle spilling in my purse incident that happened yesterday. I’ve placed it in a bag of rice with my digital camera as suggested by several scrappy blog readers, so I’m hoping it’ll come back to life soon!

Nice article in Brink!
How cool to be featured in a local mag like that!
And I bet yoga after a run felt amazing.
Love that picture of Sadie! So cute! I have a Sadie myself. Such good girls!
I’ve been meaning to try yoga, but being a newbie freaks me out, so I’ve been putting it off. That’s really great that Ryan will take a class with you! What a guy!
Enjoy your Saturday! 🙂
The fact that it’s October and your plans today include getting some sun realllly makes me wish I lived in FL!
Ahhh there is no better start to a morning than running + yoga 🙂 So cute Ryan went with you!
Congrats on making the magazine! That must be so exciting and draws in so many new readers.
Yoga is the perfect post-workout workout. 😉 If you have the time to take a full class, even better! It’s so relaxing for the body and the mind. I might take a class today actually.
Good luck with all of the wedding errands! Sounds like fun!
First – I just started reading your blog and i really l really love it. Second – I’ve had lots and lots of experience with spills and cell phones. Here’s what has worked for me many times. If the rice doesn’t work out, give it a shot. Take out the battery and then put your phone inside like 3 socks. Then throw it in the dryer with a load of laundry. I don’t know what kind of phone you have, but i’ve done it with regular cells and my blackberry many many times. Good luck
oooh thanks for the tip!
Yoga is the best for stretching muscles! Must of felt amazing after a run, I’ll try that next time 😀
What a nice morning you three had. Yoga after a run sounds great, specially when it includes your other half.
Huh,I really need to talk my bf into working out with me 😀
I dropped my old phone in the toilet TWICE! And it still worked. The rice suggestion is a good one. Just be prepared for it to not work until late today or tomorrow.
Sadie looks vicious in that photo. But I am sure she is a sweetie just as my german shepherd which people often fear–he is really a big baby himself. You should do a post demonstrating all of the poses. I am a non-yoga person, but would like to try it. I am just intimidated by all of the poses and names. What are they? How are they done? Etc. Have a great day! 🙂
Funny picture of Sadie!!! I agree about the smell of bacon!!
Congrats on the magazine!
ahaha that’s a yoga position?! that’s my relaxed standing position…and i’m not even joking. my brothers call me the flamingo.
That is my favorite breakast! I make that exact plate all the time! =)
Mmmm… bacon has to be one of the best foods on this planet.
haha you always have the best pictures of Sadie
wow, I don’t think I could drag my boyfriend to yoga kicking and screaming. That’s great that Ryan gave it a try! I made almost the same exact breakfast this morning but then again, it’s kind of a classic! 🙂
We had similar breakfasts! I made eggs and bacon for my boyfriend and a bacon and peanut butter sandwich thin for myself. 🙂
What soccer game are you guys watching in the background? 🙂
haha that would be ryan’s soccer game selection… i think it was some european game?
Lol… I was just curious cause my boyfriend loves soccer. 🙂 His favorite team is Chelsea. 🙂
mmmm…that bacon looks heavenly!
Love the pose and the photos!
Congrats on your spot in the article! That’s so cool! 🙂
Haha! I love yoga, but sometimes (most of the time) I have trouble with balancing on one foot. It’s so challenging!
PS- Isn’t Laughing Cow good on toast?! I was cautious at first, but now I love it! 🙂
Your dog is adorable!
