Chocolate, Raisin and Butterscotch Cookies

I did yoga today. Oh my goodness. I have never done yoga before, but since I’ve been hearing about how great it is, I decided to try it out for the first time. Actually, that’s a lie. Way back when, someone came in to my highschool and made us all do yoga. And was I ever awful. I have no balance whatsoever. I think I even fell during child’s pose. The girl who was teaching us said that she has never seen that happen.

And this time wasn’t much better. I had no idea how hard yoga is! I was tumbling and fumbling everywhere. I’m definitely not strong enough for this. But I’ll work on it, over the next few months. This is my attempt at living a healthier life. So what’s the first thing I do after this exhausting morning?
