Good day!
Yoga was great today although I still can’t do things that involve bending my knees very much after my little boo-boo last week. That rules out child’s pose, crow, tree and camel. But I can do lots of downward facing dogs and chatarungas! I’m SO (!!!!) excited to go to yoga grooves on Friday morning at my old studio and practice with Jen and Patrick (Court, we’ll miss you!!!). I also am planning on doing some runs down Bayshore. Funny how we take things for granted when they are right in front of us and then when we leave, we realize just how beautiful our surroundings were!
I had a well balanced lunch post-yoga:
Let see…I think I got all the food groups in. Protein in the form of a Quorn/gruyere patty with sriracha, fruit, carbs and gummi bears! I actually ate another cookie after this….these SCM cookies are just waaaay too good to stop at one! 😉
I’m checking things off my to-do list this afternoon. Still to come—paying my bills, cleaning the house and finishing packing before its back off to the studio to work the desk for a few hours before dinner.
Check ya later!

Estela @ Weekly Bite
February 3, 2010 at 12:50 pmI need to make myself some of those supercharge me cookies!
I have the recipe book, just never made them… maybe this weekend!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is
February 3, 2010 at 12:53 pmLove that you added gruyere to the patty – that is one of my most favorite cheeses!

February 3, 2010 at 12:58 pmIt’s definitely easy to take the “normal” for granted — I totally do, until I leave for a long trip and remember all the amazing things at home.
Lauren @ Eater not a runner
February 3, 2010 at 1:00 pmThose are the best kind of gummi bears….addictive for sure 🙂
Courtney (The Hungry Yogini)

February 3, 2010 at 1:00 pmWhat about veggies??!
jenna
February 3, 2010 at 1:03 pmSarah,
Who needs veggies when you have red gummi bears?!
Sarah @ The Foodie Diaries
February 3, 2010 at 1:02 pmI’ve seen those quorn gruyere patties but can’t decide whether to give them a try. I love gruyere–but in frozen form?
Christie @ Honoring Health
February 3, 2010 at 1:17 pmhahaha! it took me a minute to spot the gummi bear 😀

February 3, 2010 at 1:18 pmis there something special about these gummy bears? or are they just regular ones? I’ve recently become addicted to gummy bears. they’re so fun to eat!
Shannon (The Daily Balance)
February 3, 2010 at 1:19 pmgummi bears are SO addicting! at least they aren’t the sour ones — those are also quite addicting, but always cut up my mouth!
have fun at yoga!

February 3, 2010 at 1:28 pmI always clean my house before leaving for trips too. Ha, you & your gummies =]
Ameena
February 3, 2010 at 1:33 pmI love that gummi bears are a food group. And cookies too!!
Jil
February 3, 2010 at 1:37 pmAww, that little gummi bear looks so lonely! (yet adorable haha)
Lauren
February 3, 2010 at 1:53 pmHow on earth can you eat that much sriracha? It’s so hot!!
Lisa (bakebikeblog)
February 3, 2010 at 2:01 pmoooh those guyere patties look interesting…were they tasty? I have never come across anything like that in Australia!
Jenna
February 3, 2010 at 2:04 pmwell balanced meal!

February 3, 2010 at 2:06 pmJenna- so excited for your trip home! I know how close you are to your family, and you have been so brave to leap into your new life on the other side of the country 🙂
And Haribo gummi bears= heaven. Every now and then I too get a craving for a chewy candy and just buy a bag and go to town. I support!
FYI- Now that I’m a Married Woman, I decided to change my blog a bit and have a new address:
http://livingthelbdlife.wordpress.com
Even though I took a little hiatus, I still followed you every day. Constantly. Duh.
Sending you warm wishes for a wonderful trip home!

February 3, 2010 at 2:15 pmI’m curious…did you like quorn instantly or was it an acquired taste? I’m scared to try it!
Hallie
February 3, 2010 at 2:17 pmI totally feel that way about San Diego. I lived here my whole live and didn’t appreciate it AT ALL until I left for college (upstate New York). Then I realized how amazing my hometown is, and now I’m back…probably for good!
Lizzie
February 3, 2010 at 2:43 pmJenna, I just down two SCM cookies and now rushing out the door to a kickboxing class. They really are energizing (and you can’t just have one)!!. Unfortunately those were the last two, so I need to make some more!
Cole
February 3, 2010 at 2:56 pmI haven’t had gummy bears in ages!
But those Quorn gruyere cutlets look amazing.
Sam (Merit to the Carrot)
February 3, 2010 at 3:03 pmHope your knee gets better VERY soon, so you can get back up on that bike with ferocity!
I need to make me some of those cookies!
Jenn
February 3, 2010 at 3:10 pmThats my kind of meal! haha So i know Ive asked this before and sorry if you have responded, but what sushi place would you recommend in Tampa and what are so of your favorite restaurants there as well.
Lisa
February 3, 2010 at 3:20 pmHave a safe and happy trip!!
rori
February 3, 2010 at 4:01 pmOkay…..do you literally only eat one gummy bear, or is that the only that made it to the pictures?!? I could only eat one for about 2 seconds, followed urgently by a whole handful all at once.
Cynthia (It All Changes)
February 3, 2010 at 5:15 pmI remember all the fun things about home when I go back and forget all the bad. I enjoy showing Hunni around too.
Jessica @ The Process of Healing
February 3, 2010 at 5:19 pmOk, I have really got to make those cookies. I keep saying that but never get around to it.
And sounds like a great lunch! A balanced lunch = cookies for dessert 🙂
swimsutra
February 3, 2010 at 5:35 pmHaha, I did the same thing recently– impulse purchasing gummi bears. I didn’t have quite the restraint that you did to stretch them out over several meals…
Serena
February 3, 2010 at 5:58 pmYour overnight oats look delicious 🙂 I need to go and make some !
Also, red gummi bears = LOVE LOVE LOVE but not vegan so no more for me 😛
Deva (Voracious Vorilee)
February 3, 2010 at 5:58 pmLOVE gummi bears – they’re soooo good!
eatmovelove
February 3, 2010 at 6:11 pmThe only problem is that 1 gummi is not enough!!! Don’t you know that candy is meant to be eaten by the handful 🙂
Jenna, do you like to cook and bake as much as writing and yoga??? I assume that’s the focus of your book? I love that you baked stellar cookies – do you spend much time with this then ?
Whitney
February 3, 2010 at 6:40 pmIs there a recipe for those scm cookies? =] you keep mentioning them in your posts, and I would love to know more about them.
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman
February 3, 2010 at 6:44 pmSo you’re saying gummy bears are a food group. Sweet. And I’m assuming they’re at the bottom of the pyramid with a recommended 3-5 servings daily. Right?
Jessie
February 3, 2010 at 6:50 pmGruyere — super classy! 🙂
And those cookies really are too good to stop at just one!
Salah@myhealthiestlifestyle
February 3, 2010 at 7:23 pmI love Gruyere, where do you get those patties?
La
February 3, 2010 at 7:53 pmHave a safe trip! And gummy bears are SO a food group.
Jasmine @ Eat Move Write
February 3, 2010 at 7:57 pmGummi bears are definitely a food group all their own. Have a great night!
Jenny
February 4, 2010 at 5:46 amGlad you’re looking forward to some fun things this weekend! I agree–sometimes we have to step away from something to really appreciate what kind of role and blessing it was in our life 🙂

February 4, 2010 at 8:21 amWhere are your vegetables young lady!?!
(Quorn is a fungus-not technically a vegetable!)
Ali @ Food, Fitness, Fashion
February 4, 2010 at 8:30 amHave a safe trip!!!
