Hello! Since I was MIA from my computer all day yesterday I tried to get caught up on everything today. I worked until 3:30pm when my stomach told me to take a cereal break. When my stomach talks, I listen. Obviously.
The cereal was delicious, but I needed some nut butter. PB&J crackers did the trick. 
And since I was having fun all Sunday I didn’t do Sunday Set Up. Someone asked what the heck Sunday Set Up is anyways?
Basically, I roughly plan my meals and exercise for the week. I don’t always go grocery shopping on Sundays but I do make sure we have essentials.
And to help my life even more I made Ben a massive crockpot roast so I don’t have to cook again all week. He loves the roast, I love the crockpot.
I had roasted broccoli, a small piece of the roast to try it (eh) and a healthy frozen meal. It was some Thai Curry thing with brown rice and tofu.
Dinner Plan:
Me: Frozen meals because my freezer is overflowing.
Ben: Roast. He would be happy to eat roast everyday for a month the way he raves about it.
Exercise:
- M: 4 and Yoga!
- T: Speed
- W: Strength
- Th: Tempo
- F: Zumba
- Sat: LR
- Sun:Rest
Last question of the evening – What is Child’s Pose? See below. You can choose to take this pose during class when you need a break.

This is me in my own personal child’s pose: 
Get it? Get it?

What a cute baby!
Okay, maybe you weren’t exactly a “baby” in that pic, but still adorable!
Eh I thought essentials would include watermelons? ;p
The last ones I’ve bought are kinds squishy and flavorless. Sad. Very sad.
Haha. I love your child’s pose. I should crock pot up some meat for my husband someday. He’d probably love that!
Wah, i dont get it!
Your child’s pose is precious!
Couple things-
1- I want to learn how to use a crock pot. Dont have one. Sounds fun!
2- I feel so good after yoga as well, but the 90 min classes are too long. A hot yoga place I found here in Oz offers both 90 and 60 min classes; I prefer the 60 min classes. My attention span is too short. And sometimes yoga teachers scare me. One time the teacher told me to stop making strained faces with my eyes. She hurt my yoga self esteem.
I hope your yoga self esteem is back up
DUDE. is that really carrie bradshaw? lol
Bah, I need to give up sweets. I’m taking a baking class at my school and we made pound cake and devils food cake. That was my lunch and dinner..no joke. ha, not good..I think my tolereance is just a lot higher and I’m making it more of a habit to eat sugar during the day instead of even just at night.
I thought of you today when I was cutting up an entire watermelon.
Was it sweet?!
Yes, it is really good. I brought some for lunch. If you want, I could send you a picture of me eating it. That wouldn’t be mean at all!
Its good to organise your meals and exercise for the week. You are more likely to do it then. Zumba is also great for helping to lift your mood as well as the calorie burning benefits.
I usually do a Sunday Set Sup too…it just makes going into the week a little less daunting when you have some kind of plan.
ha ha ha too cute!
Ha, Ha! That’s funny! I have a pilates DVD where the instructor tells you to put your arms behind you (arms down by your feet) during child’s pose and it’s a much better stretch.
I have that same picture of me…I was 3…on that same rock!!! LOL no joke.
Ha!
HA! I just mentioned child’s pose on your other yoga post! I need to plan out our dinners for this week.

I am all about the Sunday Set Up. My husband is a meat eater and I’m vegan so meal planning really helps us to keep the budget reasonable. I also plan my meals around the workout for that day and make sure to get in extra plant-protein on hard strength w/o days.
I should start doing Sunday set-up. Maybe it would help me snack less often if I planned my meals and snacks.
Love the little Monica picture!
