MORNING

if you follow my new twitter (which you totally should) you will have heard this girl woke up 7 am in the morning on her day off. to say i hate mornings is an understatement. the only reason i woke up was simply because it was too quiet in the house.

once i get my sad self up from my bed of comfort i actually enjoy starting my day early because there simply is not enough hours to get everything done.

this was breakfast:

i first took my ezekiel bread and spread some firm coconut oil on top as a spread, then sliced avocados, chopped up green onions, red pepper flakes, pinch of salt and squeezed lemon juice on top.

the cocoa pudding i made night before for breakfast, which my sister and mom love, so i made enough for three.
it included:

• coconut milk
• tsp of vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• some nutmeg
• 2 tbsp of chia seeds

after breakfast i took my dog on his/mine morning walk! it was splendid since i was up before the park got crowded and seriously not a single soul in sight.

 

^^^ THRIFTED SWEATER<3 

then i biked to my best friends house, where we walked to get a card, drop off a redbox and print at the library it was quite the walking for some mundane errands. i encourage you all to get errands done with biking and walking because you totally kill two birds with one stone that way. i think the key is to be very concious of beneficial opportunities when it comes to exercise. remember daily activity's count as exercise! walking, gardening, mowing, painting etc. just keep moving.

                                     ^^^ enjoying some SUNSHINE while biking : ) hello vitamin D!

as soon as i got back i needed a giant smoothie:

• coconut milk
• handful kale and spinach
• 1 mango
• half cucumber
• fresh ginger
• frozen raspberries 

^it was all blended into a green smoothie that REALLY tasted like cucumbers for some reason so i was not in love. it needed a sweeter fruit so i added some sweetener and it was just fine :)

 i was hot & thirsty so it was downed eventually.

lake calhoun

the other day i biked to lake calhoun with my sister and best friend. our hangout was so long over due. we had ourselves a little picnic and swam in the lake to cool off. it was wonderful! these pictures will say more than i ever could. i think photography has grown on me and i absolutely wouldn't mind getting a camera like my best friends that we used that day. i mean check out these beautifully clear pictures! warning: great deal of kimchi.

this one deserves a comment. firstly, i would call this "ain't no body got time for that..!" and secondly, how ridiculously funny is my face. honestly no idea what i was looking at. something grotesque i presume.
