Day 5 of the Challenge...Almost there!

Today is a big day for me since I have a meeting with my post-grad coordinator at 11am to try to find some solutions for my supervisory issues. Wish me luck! To start the day off right, I was up at 5:45, did Dave Farmar's 30 minute sun saluations class from yogadownload.com. It's quite challenging and has some self-help-type messages worked into it, that normally I'm not a huge fan of, but today I thought they would be appropriate. After yoga, I had some oatmeal.

The mix:

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 banana
• 1/2 cup Farmer's Union light greek yogurt
  
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon plum spread
• some sour cherries

I love yogurt, and it took me a while to find the right brand here in Australia, but Farmer's Union is awesome. It's one of the few brands where the light version doesn't have all kinds of unpronounceable ingredients in it.

Here's the lunch I packed. Bean salad leftover from last night (adzuki beans, tomato, avocado, corn, olive oil and lemon), a pear and 2 ryvita crackers. I'm off for my usual bike ride to school (20 minutes of cardio).


Oh yeah - don't forget to leave a comment in last night's post for a chance to win Cadbury Caramellos and Fredos (unique to Australia!). I'll be picking a winner on Saturday.
