We went to Centennial Farms in Costa Mesa, it's large, fun, informative and free! The "tour guides" are volunteers and they explain each area of the farm, from the animals to the cotton to the produce to each of the children,, allowing time for exploration. Our guide was great with the kindergarteners! What impressed me was that all of the produce and food they make, eggs, milk, etc. are donated to the Second Harvest Food Bank. You have to make reservations as many schools in the area visit this farm, but it's an amazing place where children get a hands-on experience about how important farming is!

So my breakfast was the same, but then I shared lunch with my son:
2 plain rice cakes w/ peanut butter, 1/2 an apple and 1/4 cup (1 serving) of cranberries, almonds and cashews mix.
With that lunch I consumed too much sugar and not enough fiber, which is proving to have been a mistake since even though my PM snack was 3 celery sticks, 3 carrot sticks and 2 tbsp of hummus I'M HUNGRY and it's only 4pm. Even drinking sparkling water doesn't help.
Yesterday I was totally fine until about 5.
For dinner I plan on having my salmon, spaghetti squash and roasted veggies, then my pm snack will be string cheese.
Oh, and I am also back to doing Yoga every Wednesday. When I was in college (the first time) I worked at a yoga studio and took classes all the time While I love the atmosphere of taking yoga classes and the fact that I get a better workout, I also love doing it by myself in my living room, with my eyes closed. It's a way to zone out, relax and to actually stop thinking for a second.
All you need to know are a few basic moves and to commit at least 20 minutes, it's the perfect midweek exercise since gym workouts are tough on your body, it's great to stretch and protect those muscles you are building! And did I mention to not think?!?
