Apple Pie B-fast and Green Monster Salad

 Tis' Thursday cuties!!

How was your Hump-Day? Mine was not too shabby ;) The gym visit rocked! I focused on legs and did 2 miles of interval running on the treadmill. As soon as I was done with the workout, I made it a point to really stretch out legs because lately they have been hurting. Although I am not a fan of stretching, I have come to realize that it makes the world of difference when you stretch. That is why I am making an attempt to stretch a lot more and incorporate yoga to my workout routine. I blame many of my running injuries on my lack of flexibility. Through yoga I know I will stretch a lot more and hopefully in the long run improve my flexibility :)  Check out this article that talks about the yoga benefits of flexibility.

I met up with an uncle from Colombia. He came to Miami for a dermatologist conference and look at all the goodies he got my mom and I!  Talk about skin care heaven :) 

This morning my sweet tooth was kicking, so I decided on an apple pie yogurt mess! 

• caramelized apples (sprinkled some cinnamon and popped them in the microwave for 1 minute) 
• Greek Yogurt 
• Crumbled Apple Pie Larabar 
• Agave 

It was so good!  The mix of the warm apple, cold yogurt, and crunchy Larabar were just divine. 

For lunch I was in the mood for some greens (literally). I made a delicious and hearty Green Salad: 

• cucumber 
• spinach
• celery 
• tuna 
• salt & lots of pepper 

I made my own kick-ass dressing! (some agave, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper).

Well chicas I am off to run some errands. Hope you are having an awesome Thursday!!! 

Ana in Wonderland

Hope your weekend is off to a great start! I began mine with a nice 20 minute yoga session :) Being a beginner, I found some of the poses a bit difficult. I have gotten various suggestions to get a yoga block. 'These blocks are of great purpose as some of the poses which many may find it hard to do can be modified as it will get the floor closer to you." I found this youtube video :

How to Use a Yoga Block for Better Form and Flexibility: 



I will definitely be getting a yoga block soon!

After my yoga session I had a yummy bowl of oatmeal:

• 1/2 cup of oats 
• water 
• PB
• Apple
• Vanilla Yogurt 
• Loads of Cinnamon ;-)

Last night my attempts to watch "Alice in Wonderland" failed :( By the time we got to the movie theater all of the tickets were sold out for the showing we were hoping to catch. We thought about seeing, Dear John, but for some reason the movie had been removed from showing! By then we were so bummed we just decided to rent a movie and head home, but no worries I will watch "Alice in Wonderland" by the end of this weekend ;)

The night turned out great though, I came home to these awesome banana and PB sammy's and watched I Love You, Man! It is such a funny movie, my parents loved the movie and the sammy's.

Just some time in the freezer and they are ready to eat!!! Such a great treat!

 I am off to do some grocery shopping (my favorite forms of shopping) for a yummy recipe I am making. Hope you are having a great Saturday!!!
