Spirit and flesh BOTH willing and able 4 today

It's 11:40 and I'm sitting at my work desk starting this post while wolfing down some celery heart pieces with a Blue cheese LC lite wedge.  (btw - the blue cheese LC lite is my fave of their offerings)  I was absolutely empty-stomach hungry (as opposed to my more typical "throat wants to swallow something" hungry) because I didn't have my complete power breakfast I described yesterday. 

******Work interruption (and how dare they?)********

I did have my oatmeal and flax early before I left for work.  My plan (and frequent m.o.) was to have the yogurt and fruit as soon as I got in.  Well, it's now 12:33 and I've yet to have the yogurt and fruit because I got caught up in work matters and didn't miss the protein hit until about 11:15 when my stomach started actually gnawing and growling (who knew it remembered how given it's rare sensation of genuine emptiness!).  The celery and LCL blue was quicker to grab than getting my yogurt and applesauce parfait arranged.  Now I'm thinking I'll just have the yogurt when I get home from work, b/c it's about time for me to eat my awesome, huge, kick ass salad and a serving of the roasted veggies I did this morning before coming to work.

I'm so excited to have NOTHING going on this evening.  A couch potato's nirvana.  As I said yesterday, I've had things to do every evening this week, and also tomorrow night, so it's going to feel nice to come home and not have to go back out.  It's Modern Family night, and I think I'll be able to stay up to watch it (all the way to 9 pm), given my new found evening wakefulness of late.  It's chilly and rainy here, so I might go to the gym that I quit (but can use through April) to log some time on the treadmill and maybe elliptical.  Then to the store to pick up something for dinner for which I hope to find inpiration by perusing my favorite food blogs. 

I often get my dinner inspirations from blogs - especially now from some of the WW blogs, like TJ, Danica, Tami, Biz and The Slender Kitchen.  Most of you probably read these blogs, but if you haven't they are all worth your checking out, so hit the linky dinks and enjoy.  Of course I have a slew of favorite recipes in my rotation of dinner ideas, but I continue to get great new ideas from blogs.   Sometimes I bring my laptop into the kitchen to reference the recipes while I'm throwing them together.  Makes me feel like a child of the NEW MILENNIUM!  My husband has totally appreciated the vast new array of meals he gets since I started blogging.

BTW - I need to say again that I HEART blogging and am so glad to be back to it.  When I needed the break, I needed it; but I'm glad that's out of my system now and back amongst youze guys!  (A little Philly talk for youze....)

My meditation class was fantastic last night.  I'm going to write more about it soon.  It feels like something that is really nourishing my whole self and I'm so happy that this new opportunity is availble at a time when my spirit is willing and so is my flesh.  So often I have one without the other when trying to pursue something beneficial and broadening.
