A "smooooooth" Monday morning.

My stomach is in heaven this morning. All thanks to a wonderful new blog find, Eating Bird Food. I am going to be doing alot of cooking from her recipes in the future. GUARANTEED! She has a great story of why she began her website and her passion is contagious.

Here is how mine turned out: 

It was a great breakfast after workout class this morning. Oh my goodness...we ran laps, sprints, ab killers, push-ups, sit-ups, walking lunges w/ sprints, crab crawls, more push-ups, jumping jacks, leg tosses, and more laps. KILLER. (but I really like it) I greatly appreciate that due to daily light savings, the sun is actually up when we leave the YMCA now. The sunrise was beautiful this morning and really made the red leaves pop with color on the trees.

Have a great Monday!
