Sunny Side Up Eggs on Toast with Artichokes and Olives

I promised myself that I would wake up in time to go to the 9am yoga class at my gym. I literally gave myself enough time to get up, get dressed and walk over there.

When I got there, I was too sleepy to realize that I was in the wrong class until the instructor introduced the class as some intense cardio-aerobic workout. I quickly got out of there and stepped into the classroom next door where the yoga class had already started. I walked in to a dimly-light room and the instructor asks loudly, "Is this your first time?" I answered timidly, "Yes, it is." A little bit embarrassing.

To say the least, I had no clue what I was doing. It seemed like most people are regulars and have their own yoga mat and everything. The poses were hard for someone like me with no flexibility and endurance strength. I also had a hard time taking the instructor seriously because she sounded like one of those relaxation tapes. "Channel your energy through rhythmic breathing", "Breathe out the stale air inside and inhale the clean air", etc. I think this sort of thing ain't my bag but I'm willing to give it another chance.

Anyways, here's my reward for trying something new and waking up early to work out. My breakfast: sunny side up eggs on toast with artichokes and kalamata olives. What a way to start off the day! I love breaking the yolk open and sopping up every last bit with my toast.
