The Weather Outside Is Frightful

IMG_2362 (1024x768)

I woke up at 7 this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep – I wanted to get a full 8 hours and we went to bed closer to 12 than 11. Oh well. I also have a mild headache again – could be from the wine or the persisting typhoid!

I started the with 45 minutes of Power Vinyasa Flow #1. Love this session. It’s got all the major pieces – some warriors, some balancing, some abs, some flow. It’s not too changing yet it does get me “creating heat” in the middle of it and has a few hard poses that I am getting better at doing such as toppling tree and half moon.

Since I’ve got brunch at 11, I wanted to have a smaller breakfast today. The debate was between PB+B toast and cereal. I was feeling thirsty (thanks, wine) so I went with the cereal. And I was feeling hungry, so my bowl was bigger than I had planned. But that’s not biggie in the scheme of things. I’m sure I’ll be hungry again at 11 😉

IMG_2358 (1024x768)

This was about 1/3 cup each of Life, Quaker Squares and GoLean. Between the two of us, we polished off two of the three boxes (his bowl was 5x as full as mine!) I added half a banana, a drizzle of PB (because I couldn’t resist) and about 3/4 a cup of vanilla almond milk. I missed my vanilla soy milk! As soon as the almond is gone I’ll go back to that in cereal.

IMG_2361 (1024x768)

Matt and I split a French press with a half a cup each. This was Sumatra from World Market and I didn’t care for it.

Looks like we’re going to be getting some snow tonight!!!

this !

What’s unfortunate is that tomorrow my two afternoon classes were already canceled because Winthrop’s Nutrition dept. is being reviewed for accreditation and I just had a morning meeting with the team after Biochem. So if the school is closed, I won’t be missing a full day like I would have on another Monday. But it’s also kind of bad because if it’s not close then I am required to go to this meeting and must get down there, icy roads or not!

I’m off to shower, then work on a paper until it’s time for brunch.

    When my mom and stepdad got their typhoid shots for their last trip, they both had headaches for quite a few days, I’d be willing to bet the headache is from that!!

    the drizzled peanut butter looks absolutely divine! Where do you do yoga, in the living room or somewhere else? do you ever hit things? i feel like i’d knock stuff over left and right.

    When I lived in Virginia, it snowed an inch and all the schools closed, even my office. And coming from the midwest I couldn’t believe it!

    Hi, Kath! I’m a big fan of your blog and have been keeping up with you (stalking you) ever since I discovered your blog a few months ago and have read the entire archive! you having really great and creative eats, and I LOVE the healthy and positive attitude you have towards life. But just a quick question: I notice that although you try to stick to whole grains, sometimes you still have white refined products like a baguette or white roll. What is your take/personal rule on white and refined products?

    Snow? yikes… its raining here in North Cali. It was a bad chantrelle year for me.The later post with the Groth wine looked great and was killing me. I gave up wine for 8 weeks so I can train better. I like adding pepper flakes to my pasta as well. If you have a World Market near you, check out the Piri, Piri spice. Its really great for spicing up pasta and pizza, and fish ,and steak.. 🙂

    Hey Kath,

    I’m heading up to Boston this upcoming weekend, and I was actually thinking of stopping at JP Licks.
    Was it really good . . . I would only want to go if it was a “worth it” type of thing

    Thanks!!!! =)

    Hi Kath,
    I know this is somewhat personal, so if you don’t feel comfortable posting, I understand. However, you are in great shape and you have a great figure (I mean that in a complimentary way, not a creepy way, I promise!). You also have an athletic figure, which I really admire. Would you mind posting your measurements sometime? Thanks and good luck with your projects!

    Hi Kath,

    First of all, LOVE your blog! I’ve learned so much from it in the year or so I’ve been a reader.

    I wanted to ask you a question though – I’ve been unable to conceive for well over a year now, and after a few trips to the doctor (nothing major is wrong, thank goodness) she suggested I might need to just put on some weight.

    I am by no means underweight (5’7″ and 140 lbs), but she said that some women who are having trouble getting pregnant and then gain just 5-7 pounds end up conceiving simply because a little extra weigt boosts the right hormones and creates a more ideal environment for conception.

    My question is – what would you recommend as far as gaining weight in a healthful way? I know you are not a doctor but you know so much about food and nutrition, I would appreciate any advice you could give as far as what types of foods might be good. I thought of PB immediately becuase it is high in fat but it’s the good fat, but I don’t know what else would be good. I definitely don’t want to pig out on junk because even though I’m sure I’ll gain the weight, I will feel like…junk!

    Sorry for the long post! Thanks for your help!

    Zest,
    Yes, I LOVE GoLean Crunch. Esp. the honey almond flax. I’ve had some in the past few months – you must have missed it!

    Sophia Lee,
    I think refined grains get bad mouthed maybe a little more than they should. While yes, the “good stuff” (bran, germ) have been removed, thus removing fiber, vitamins, protein, fat, it’s still flour. It’s still a real food. Kind of like peeling an apple and just eating the flesh. It’s still an apple. So I have no problem enjoy the delicious doughyness of white flour on occasion, but nutritionally, whole grains are definitely better.

    faith ,
    Glad you made it to Hillsborough!

    Jen ,
    Yes, it was worth it!

    Lindsey (Mrs. LC),
    Awesome!! So glad you liked it!

    Katy ,
    I’m pretty much a size 2 across the charts. Did you want something more specific? I haven’t really ever measured myself in all my circumferences…

    Whitney ,
    I do 400* for 10 minutes! Sounds like oven variation. Next time just keep your eye on it after about 5 minutes! pull it out when the edges just start to crisp and turn a darker color.

    sarah (ghost world),
    Thanks for your concern 🙂

    Anonymous ,
    You’ve got it – energy dense foods are the way to go. You’ll get too full on voluminous foods and won’t be able to get enough calories without feeling stuffed. Try nut butters, trail mix, LaraBars, dried fruit, smoothies, low-fat as opposed to non-fat dairy, cheese on sandwiches, eggs + hummus for snacks. Your doctor might have some other suggestions. Just keep the foods whole and the fats leaning towards the healthier side (as opposed to butter, cookies, cakes…)

    Thanks for answering my question, Kath. The measurement I was most interested in was your thigh measurement – your legs are so toned but it seems like whenever I see thigh measurements they are for girls without qauds. I was wondering what size healthy, athletic legs are.

    I found some string and some index cards to measure and it appears my thigh is about 22 inches!?
