Relax, Breathe, Yoga

I enjoyed a really relaxed Sunday yesterday. I had decided early in the day, that I would basically do a whole lot of….well…..absolutely nothing. So that’s pretty much what I did. Mike had a golf date and was out the door right after breakfast. I got caught up on the blog, emails, phone calls and text messages, all while curled up on the couch with a blanket and multiple cups of coffee. I didn’t get dressed until about 3:00 pm. I had decided to go to a Yoga class at 5:00, and I hadn’t ever done a class on a Sunday. It was the perfect way to end my relaxing day of doing absolutely nothing.

Here’s what I ate during my nothing doing.

  1. Hi Shannon!

    I’m glad you found the blog! You will notice that I try not call my Meal’s, “recipes”, but more “Ideas”. I love to play in the kitchen, but often things are accidentally delicious, and other times, well, not so great! I do try to make things simple though, and I like to share the ones that aren’t too shabby. 🙂

    Congrats to you on starting your own Weight Watcher’s Journey!

    Have a great day! Let me know what you think of the pumpkin pancakes! The pumpkin butter on top really makes these pancakes taste their best!

  2. Hey Julie! I just found your blog today while perusing pinterest for a weight watchers friendly sweet potato recipe. I just wanted to send a note of encouragement because I LOVE your blog, and your recipes, and am actually excited about cooking something this weekend (pumpkin pancakes)- which hasn’t happened in a while since beginning my own Weight Watchers journey! Anyway, that’s all for now. Keep it up- you have inspired me- who knew I could have a sausage and gravy biscuit for 8 points?? SOOOO HAPPY to have found your blog.
