Sunday Funday (but not really)

Last night after blogging, I didn't actually fall asleep until 4 AM and I woke up at 9:30 AM for my staff meeting. I then headed to Yoga to the People with Julia for a 90 minute vinyasa session. It was sooo intense, I literally tasted the sweat as it dripped down my forehead all the way past my mouth (I know, TMI). Immediately after I told Julia, "I'm definitely going to be sore tomorrow" and a few hours later, my legs were burning. They're still burning. Although I've only done yoga about 10 or so times, I really like it because it's challenging for me and I can see my improvements each time. It's funny because when I started I didn't think it was too hard but now that I'm doing the positions correctly, I feel the burn! Also, the breathing is really hard for me because when things get difficult, I hold my breathe. I also like how it's 90 minutes of you allowing yourself to get out of your own head and be carefree. The noises I hear in that class (the moans, groans, screams, sighs, cries, and farts LOL) are incredible. I'm not sure what one girl had going on but today she literally cried in class for 2 or 3 minutes -- loud sobs! It was kinda cool to hear that emotional experience.

After yoga I was really hungry and probably dehydrated so I drank two glasses of water and cooked some egg whites (with a side of hummus of course) and an apple. Is eating hummus that regularly normal and even healthy? I don't know but it's good. Also, the picture looks kind of gross but I promise it was delicious!

I then went to study with Laurena at 2:30 PM and got hungry so I snacked on a brown rice cake (35 cals) and a handful of almonds. That kept me full for a few hours. I finished studying at 5:15 PM and decided to nap because I was exhausted from the amount I had slept. Normally, my naps are 30 minute cat naps but I passed out for 1 hour until 6:30 PM, and I woke up refreshed (and hungry!)

For dinner I made veggies, quinoa and kidney beans which was really good. I didn't have time to go food shopping today so I'll go tomorrow and get a greater variety of foods to make, since I get stuck with eating the same few dishes. After dinner, I made some tea and sat down to study, but got consumed in trying to find a Halloween costume online. In NYC, everyone takes Halloween VERY seriously, even having 3 costumes for each night of the weekend. I was never big on dressing up but maybe it's because I never liked how I looked in the costume. This year I want to be something cool though. After researching costume ideas, I got hungry again (go figure) and decided I was probably just bored so I started blogging. Now I know I'm not hungry just yet for dessert, I just wanted a study distraction. In an hour I'll probably have some Greek Yogurt, an apple or some pumpkin with cinnamon.
