    Yeah, I like them in smoothies but I don't like them just thawed and plain--the texture is really off for me. Glad you had some success with them.

    I did my first hot yoga class

    I'm going to give this a try next month! The studio offers a local intro offer of $29 unlimited for one month :eek: (regular prices is $150 a month for unlimited classes). I figure I'll get a good feel for it and then I can see if I want to make it a regular part of my routine. Here's to sweating!

    Our new "baby" :)

    Thanks for all your sweet comments! We are loving him in our home, despite his new nick-names "monster baby" and "razor" because out of nowhere he grabs onto my pants and rips a hole with those baby teeth!!:eek: He's done it to two pairs of my workout pants now--at least I can sew them up. :D
