Niki's Neverending Adventure

Happy Sunday morning!! I was happy to naturally (ok Sadie may have helped a little bit) wake up at 7am to get my day started!! And the first thing I wanted to do was some more of Polly’s Yoga For Runners! Jillian has left me tight and sore (well more sore/tight than usual!) from doing The Shred on Friday, so it felt really nice to stretch out with some yoga! So far I have only tried the Yoga For Runners, but am really wanting to do some of the other ones! Have ya’ll tried any more of Polly’s yoga videos?

After yoga, I started off my day right with some Banana Oats and the old 90210 re-runs!! That used to be my favorite show!!

I made the usual oatmeal base (1/3 cup milk, 1/3 cup H20, 1/3 cup oats, 1 banana thinly sliced, dash of cinnamon and almond extract) and topped it off with some golden raisins, coconut, and some new Jif Natural PB that I picked up at the store yesterday.

I love golden raisins! They are so pretty and add a nice sweetness to every bite!

Poll: Are you a coffee drinker or tea drinker in the mornings?? While I love both, I have to have my coffee in the mornings and I save tea until the afternoons!!

I am sad that Kroger doesn’t carry my favorite Naturally More PB, only Wal-Mart does, and I wasn’t going to 2 different stores yesterday. So, I decided to pick up this little jar and try it!

The ingredients look good and are very similar to Naturally More. The taste is good too! Just not quite AS GOOD as NM!!

I’ve gotten one round of morning studying done. I find that if I break my hours up into 40 minute study sessions and 20 minute breaks, I do very well with keeping my concentration!! So obviously, I am on a break now! Haha!!

Another poll (I am full of questions today!): Do you shop at regular grocery stores (i.e.. Wal-Mart, Kroger, Publix, etc.) or do you shop at more upscale/organic stores (i.e.. Whole Foods, Fresh Market, TJ’s, etc) and why?

I prefer going to Whole Foods or Fresh Market but they are like 30 minutes from my house so I don’t get out there often. I am considering making monthly trips to stock up on some Whole Foods goodness though!!

Looks like my study break is about over, gotta jet!! See y’all later this evening!
