Uhg, lisah.

Salad is my go-to easy meal, but not prepped for lunch, just dinner. Toss greens (usually baby spinach but had to get a spring mix this weekend and I could probably do this more, but with extra spinach. I LOVE spinach) in bowl, slice apple/strawberry/ cherry tomatoes (whatever is in season,) slice a TJ's sausage or chunks of precooked chicken, microwave that, dress, toss.

OK, who the hell am I kidding? It is my primary meal. Pretty much only eat a different dinner if I run out of ingredients ( and then do an indian tv dinner) or have gotten a wild hair and cooked something that can be reheated. I've gotten so boring about meals, but at least it is super healthy and I genuinely like it?

I have everything in the fridge to do Big Salad right now! But am I going to prep it? Not so much. I'm sitting on the couch and wondering if Tabatha could Take Over my gov't agency client.

Also I made food tonight and have leftovers for tomorrow. Yummy chickpea stew thing.

Barney Frank! Wah. Sad to think of him retiring.

I would like to lose enough weight to be back to my pre-baby/post-diet size because I miss doing the yoga I could do when I had less problematic flesh in the way.

I went to 6AM yoga today and we actually did this pose: [link] So essentially I sat on the back of my arms before 7:00 AM. No wonder I am tired.

You know, I've got ridiculous bendy naturally, and my upper body strength is kinda awesome of late (if my lap times suck) but I'm pretty sure no way in hell I could do that.

I'm pretty sure no way in hell I could do that.

Well, you maybe couldn't just do it from scratch but you might could build up to it eventually.

My body is not really made to do that kind of pose. And I'm TOTALLY cool with that! I can do many other things.

The problem for me in the pose is shoulder flexibility. The first two poses in this [link] is the sequence we did. The first one, with ankles crossed is seriously not hard.

Well, yeah, to all of that. I love lifting myself out of the pool and being able to raise my hips above my shoulders to get my feet on deck without a boost kick, all in the arms and core. Well, 90 percent of the time, anyway.

To freak everyone out: not taking a cellphone.

I took my phone to London, but I had it on airplane mode the entire time. The only thing I really missed was being able to use Google Maps when I didn't have a wifi connection.

In other news, there's a small chance I may be in Mountain View next week.

Also this pose: [link] which is totally a fave, I can still mostly do. Most other bound/twisted poses, nope.

Bakasana is my nemesis pose.
