Man, what a whirlwind weekend?
- First, an awesome workout and dinner with Megan
- Fabulous oatmeal pancake brunch, farmers market, makeovers, and shopping with Sis
- A delicious veggie lasagna for dinner
- A mini facial and potential new makeup routine
- Awesome brunch with friends
- Hail + a cookie fail 😆
I woke up about an hour or two earlier than normal to help see Sis off.
At first, she was just going to take some tea on the road, so I set out a travel mug and some tea options.
Then, she decided to stay, so I made her some more chocolate date oatmeal and a “sausage”.
We used the Anthro plates I love so much – a bowl for her and the mug for me. She stirred hers all up before I could snap a photo. I didn’t want to slow her down since she still had a long drive ahead (and a long work day).
I had a “sausage” and Spring Blend (re-stocked yesterday) with my chocolate date oatmeal. Such a great combo – I love all these flavors together. The savory, the sweet. Perfect-o!
While I feel totally groggy, and I’m kicking myself for staying soooo late last night trying to catch up on things, it feels GREAT to be up early! I have checked up on email, caught up on my Google reader and look! I even had time to blog!
I think I’ve been saying for awhile that I’d like to start going to bed earlier, but I really do mean it. I just need to come up with a plan. Perhaps a new challenge? 😉
Which reminds me, I need to get some water, stat!
PS My BIG Announcement gets revealed later today! Facebook friends find out first, so why not go join my page? 🙂
What are your tips for going to bed and waking up earlier?
owwww I so can’t wait for your announcement! It is really nice to get up early and get the day rocking! I teach 5:45 AM pump on Mondays and Wednesdays and love feeling so accomplished by 7 am (usually I”m out of the shower and starting in on my first cup of joe :)). Have a great day
Chocolate and dates make an awesome larabar so I see how they could make a kick butt oatmeal combination. I hope your sis has safe travels. Enjoy your day! xoxo
Can’t wait for the announcement!
What a busy but fun weekend!
I just love anthropologie’s kitchen items!
Hahah I have no tips for going to bed/waking up early/having any sort of normal, rejuvenating sleep schedule.
Hoping I can conquer my issues with water though!
I’m working on improving my sleep time also. I even blogged about a new resolve over the next couple weeks – I’ll update on that.
I think it’s all about being intentional and purposeful – realizing that sleep, as well as a healthy diet and exercise are the balance to whole wellness.
I love chocolate and dates. Yum! 😀
Yoga in the evening = a fantabulous night’s rest, in my opinion.
I am a big fan of dates!
And looking forward to hearing the big announcement 🙂
I always give myself something to look forward to early in the AM… for me it’s a moment alone with the newspaper or a good book and a cup of coffee. Or I make ahead my pumpkin oatmeal (steel-cut) and the smell of the spices in the AM makes me excited!
It’s so nice to see that someone else has baking disasters 🙂 I’m going to make that lasagna later this week, it just looks so good. But first I need to pick up some whole wheat lasagna noodles.
YUM – how wonderful is that bowl?!
;D
Have a great week, girl!
Brazilian XOXO´s,
