Happy Thursday!
This morning I decided to seize the day (my friends and I always used to call this “seizing the carpe”) and do 45 minutes of a power yoga download before breakfast. It was chilly at first on my wood floor but after a few vinyasas I shed the fleece and felt my muscles warming up. Now I’m all bendy and warm, sipping my french press on the floor.
My prize after yoga was a hot bowl of almond butter with a side of oats 
1/2 cup oats, 1 cup soymilk, 1/2 banana, dried cherries, sea salt, cinnamon, pumpkin butter, almond butter!
Still no camera charger to be found. Grrrrr! Off to work now for a fun day of pouring wine.
See you tonight!

That looks so good, I love Almond Butter in my oats! Havea great day, Jenna!
Mmmm, pre-breakfast yoga! I’m so sore from a class I took last night in SF. I don’t know what the teacher did to my leg, but yikes can I feel it! I think I’m gonna go eat some cereal with almond butter… maybe it will help me feel better! Enjoy your day.
You have the best job ever…
I love the pumpkin butter/almond butter combo. It makes everything better: sandwiches, oats, breakfast quinoa…
Ooo I use the same bowl for my oats too – except mine’s blue…and doesn’t have a lake of almond butter in it. LOVE IT! All things should have lakes of almond butter in them, no?
I wish I was having a fun day pouring wine. For myself.
That’s it, tomorrows’ breakfast will definitely be oatmeal.
Have a great day at work!
Hahahah I love seizing the carpe… muy funny
I love the combo of pumpkin and almond butter
You know, I can’t think of a better way to start the day than flexing and doing (literal) sun salutations. I was going to do yoga podcast tomorrow anyway, but you’ve inspired me to do it before first thing!
Have fun with the Vino! Your new job sounds so lovely.
Love the almond butter breakfast with a side of oats, the best breakfast around!
I just back into having oats for breakfast after a long hiatus over the summer. I forgot how much I missed them!
I am STARVING looking at your bowl of almond butter (oatmeal).

If I get that kind of prize, I am going to be all about the yoga! Hope your pouring goes well today and that your clothes stay tanin free!
great start to any day!
I wish I could muster up the energy to do yoga before breakfast, but the first thing I think about when I roll out of bed is coffee and oatmeal! Have fun pouring wine!
If I had a big enough box I would mail you a chair or even an old school tv dinner tray.
I actually love the floor pictures – sometimes the context of the situation adds so much flavor
Congrats on the AG gig!! Glad you’re loving CA – I miss it so much, and live vicariously…
Would you like some oats in your almond butter?
Great job with the yoga.
yay for yoga and oats
jenna
that sounds like the best way to warm up in the morning!
hope you have a good day at work!
Jenna (and any/everyone else)
Do you notice any difference in your exercise stamina on mornings when you’ve had wine the night before versus not?
You just ate my favorite breakfast – simple but good. Maybe you should invest in a little space heater – it will make a huge difference and doesn’t cost too much. Plus, it uses a lot less electricity than heating up the whole apartment. Just a thought!
If you can’t find your charger, you can get a new one at a Radio Shack-esque place. They always have something compatible and probably the quickest way to replace instead of ordering and waiting on the mail.
Only the BEST way to eat Oats
Drowned in AB!
Bah, this oat combo is officially my new fave too! The pics of yours each morning got me hooked!
Mmm…love almond butter! What’s your favorite brand or do you make your own?
I ate almost that exact same breakfast except with peanut butter
Loooove the dried cherry-pumpkin butter combo.
How’d you get started on soy milk, and do you have any kind of objections to normal milk??
Hey Jenna-
Not sure if you know this but you can get a generic camera battery charger at places like Radio Shack or Best Buy. It plugs in to the wall and comes with different adapters to fit your actual battery. I hope that helps.
I’m so motivated to commit to yoga now after reading your blog so much and seeing you do it all the time…
I went through a short period where I was doing it every morning when I woke up, but it didn’t really stick…
I think I’ll really commit this time because I always LOVE it when I’m doing it!
Yummy, i need to get some more almond butter!
Downloading yoga! AHHA! I didn’t think of that! So quick & easy… plus no driving!! Gotta do that!!
I used to say “Seize the fish” even though that’s totally wrong, ha ha. Hope you have fun at work
I’m having major almond butter withdrawals.
MMM pumpkin AND almond butter.. delicious combo!!
Oh man I am lovin’ that bowl of oats with pumpkin butter and peanut butter “frosting”! I want to go back to TJ’s to get some windmill cookies and mini pb cups, but I know I will eat them all with in a few days. hehe.
Rewarding yourself with oatmeal after a workout? I can get into that!
Love power yoga. Makes me feel super strong!
Pumpkin butter?! I want!
Mmmm the oats look so good!…this reminds me that I have crunch almond butter in the cabinet *runs to get it*.
Sorry about your charger!
Those oats look YUM, though!!!
And yoga is a fantabulous way to start the day!!
yummy AB!! hope you find you charger though.. charge ur cam with ur pc temporarily?
My dad’s fave jokey expression when we oversleep is carpe diem… cras (seize the day … tomorrow) so that made me crack up!
Love the almond butter – I just had some with a side of carrots (because what are they but a vehicle for the almond buttery goodness?)
Good luck finding the charger!!!
Almond butter and oatmeal=amazing
Those oats look so hearty and perfect! Congrats on the new amazing grass gig!!! So exciting
