To market, to market…
to buy a huge scone. π
(or βto buy a seksi Pilot?β heh heh)
Hi friends π How was your day today?
Man oh man did it feel GLORIOUS to sleep in. The Pilot and I slept until we woke up (no alarm!) and then I grabbed a macaroon, warm from the dehydrator
(I had to make sure theyβre *safe* to send out)
some brown rice toast with peanut butter, cinnamon and banana
and took Bella with us to hit up the Farmerβs Market.
The weather was BEAUTIFUL today and there were the most vendors Iβve seen in a while!
Gorgeous local, organic produce, cheeses, dips and soups, beauty care products, raw foods, local organic meats, gluten-free bakers, ethnic foods, anything your heart could wish for.
We only picked up a couple of things (gorgeous tomatoes and prickly pear jelly, the Pilot also munched a saltena, which is a Bolivian pot pie), but we just happy to walk around and enjoy the sights and sunshine.
Bella enjoyed the sunshine, too π
Weβre trying to take her out and about with us more often, because the exercise is great for her and sheβs becoming semi-senile in her middle age. She always loves people (especially kids) but we noticed sheβs be growling at other dogs, which she never used to do. Hopefully sheβll get her social skills back π
The rest of the day has been pretty mellow. There are tons of to-dos and errands on the horizon, but sometimes ya gotta take it easy π
Itβs dinner time over here! See ya in the morning π
xoxo

Love your market outfit! Very comfy chic.
That workout looks great. I did the new Bob Harper DVD this morning (hadn’t seen your workout yet)… it’s not kidding around. Have you ever done a workout by him?
i’ve heard of his new dvds and have been wanting to try them! glad you know you’re a fan- i love bob π
definitely want to try the workout!
let me know if you do! π miss you, girly!
Lately your workouts are the only thing keeping me going in the fitness realm.
Thank you for this booty kick! I loved it.
awesome!! i’m so happy you liked it π
This looks like a great workout! I’m definitely going to give it a shot tomorrow morning. I have a question about deadlifts: are you supposed to keep your knees fairly straight or are you supposed to bend them more like a squat? I’ve seen them done different ways so I’m confused about the proper form. Thanks!
slightly bent- let me know how it goes!
Loved the workout! I definitely felt those deadlifts
this little piggy stayed home but it looks like your choice of market was fun!
I just did this workout! Thanks for kicking my butt…I needed that π
π happy to kick your booty anytime
