Yoga FAIL

So, you may have been wondering, "Jess...I thought this was a food AND fitness blog. All you've been talking about lately is Food and Beer or Wine....what gives?"

Well, you are absolutely correct, I have been slacking on the fitness department as of late, both in reporting what little I've been doing in addition to actually getting my hiney in gear. I do some very basic yoga at home, mostly as muscle prevention these days than anything else. Also, even though I haven't been running much lately I do walk at least a mile everyday after dinner with the mutts.

I've really been missing my yoga classes though. I'm just not advanced in my practice to have a meaningful session in my own home yet and get bored with the DVD's very VERY quickly. So, I was pumped to find myself with an open Saturday morning, in which I would already be in Gville (after sleeping off a night at Stubbies at my home away from home- Love you Christine!) and could finally check out the yoga studio, The Sanctuary, I've been eying online since I decided to make the move back to NorCenFLA. I forgot one small (and by small I mean, HUGE) detail in my flawless plan....A Gator Home Game! (dun-duh-duh). I had already planned to give myself twice the time to get to the studio, (it would usually take me 15mins to get downtown from Christine's townhouse) but 1/2 an hour did nothing for the traffic of 70,000 people trying to get to the stadium and tailgate. A stadium that stood between me and 90mins of beautiful hatha flow. Needless to say the score stands, Jess-0, Ben Hill Griffith-1.

What's a girl to do when she can't make it to a yoga class? Well, go grocery shopping of course!

Check out the loot:
