Fitness: Yoga For Brain Power | 12-Minute Home Yoga Practice
I was originally going to ruck, but somehow forgot to put on my Rucker 4.0 before leaving to do errands. It's been a while since I've practiced yoga with Yoga With Adriene. Picked one of the videos from her playlist of 10-20 minute practices. There's always a point during the practice when I ask myself, "Are we done yet?" but I'm happy at the end. I'm glad I have Yoga With Adriene as one of my fitness options.

Dinner: Curried Chicken Salad; Painterland Sisters yogurt, Meadow Berry; Spindrift Lime
