Lazy Sunday

I didn't get a chance to blog today until later.  Today I was kinda shady on my goals; I had a hard time deciding what to make them.  I decided that my only goal today was to get up the motivation to work out.  I didn't get a chance to do yoga or workout yesterday after rescuing JK.  I went to drop off his tire, and we couldn't get the bolts off to change it.  We ended up having to take it to a mechanic to get that fixed and it took much longer than originally anticipated.  By the time we got home, it was time to prepare dinner (which had been cooking in the crock pot) and we were so tired. 

This morning I did go to the farmer's market.  I hadn't been going the past few months while using Nutrisystem, and totally remembered why I missed going.  There are almost always the same major vendors and it was just so familiar and delightful.  Now that the days aren't so hot, it was actually nice and breezy.  I picked up fresh greens, cucumbers, green apples, and plums.  I also couldn't resist some coconut macaroons, green chile and pork hand pies, and some fresh red chile tamales.  I normally don't eat wheat bread, but I know it's healthier for you than white bread.  I picked up some fresh made wheat bread.  I tried it this morning when I got home, and it was so delicious.  Much better than regular sandwich bread you get at the store.

Anyway, I love going to the farmer's market.  Aside from the fresh veggies, there's such a great community of people that will work with you to get what you are looking for.  It's such a delightful alternative to grocery shopping on a Sunday morning.  There are so many things you can get there, all fresh and supporting local businesses.  Not just veggies, either.  There are booths with people selling frozen meats from some of the local meat-shops and butcheries.  One of the guys sells cheeses from one of the local dairies.  There's a woman who sells fresh roasted coffees and another one who sells her own blends of tea tree face wash and jojoba moisturizer.  There's a booth with Mediterranean foods and the best stuffed grape leaves I've ever had and a local candy maker that has the best scribbles (caramel and nuts dribbled with chocolate).  Hand made pasta, tea blends, whatever you can think of. 

So, today's goal was met.  I did manage to do some yoga today before dinner.  Now I'm going to decide if I want my coconut macaroons after I play some skyrim.  :D
