Another Uncomfortable & Unhappy Monday Sans Yoga

This morning was the same routine as always: get up, eat, go to work, have snacks and eat lunch. Then, on my way to the gym. I did have something interesting for one of my snacks. I had a Sharkies twist chew. It was pretty good. Lots of flavor and I love these chews. They are so good. They remind me of when I was a kid. I use to eat other brands all the time.


I had one of the best runs (on the treadmill)! I hauled booty for my 4.25 miles in 44:35 minutes. That's a new PR for me!! I love setting new PR's. My influence was that I was "running" (lol) late for my spin class, so I had to hurry. I was drenched with sweat, then ran over to the spin room.

Spin was another great class. I'm so excited, we get this instructor on Wednesday, too!! For some reason, I think she works us harder than any other instructor I've taken. I've even taken x-bike (indoor mountain biking). Sweat drips on the floor...cool!!

I wasn't really feeling yoga today. My legs were crying for my compression socks. I went home and slapped those babies right on. I wore those for about an hour while I ate dinner. Tonight was just cereal. I tried this new cereal from Nature's Path. I wasn't really looking forward to it, but it did look interesting. When I opened the box, all I could smell was cinnamon. I'm not sure why. I couldn't taste any. It was a pretty good cereal. It had a little bit of everything in there. I went back for a second bowel (only 1/2 a bowel). I'm am still pretty stuffed. I don't think I will be eating anything else tonight.

While I ate my dinner, I watched some season finales. I can't believe the fall season is starting next week. Crazy how fast time flies by!

I love how I feel after such a great workout. After I've had a filling dinner, a nice warm shower and had a chance to relax a little. I just feel so comfy and so relaxed. I love these days. I don't feel relaxed often (actually rarely). I could melt into the couch right now.

Don't forget to enter my giveaway. I will be announcing the 3 lucky winners tomorrow night (from random.org). Good luck!!

Is it hard for anyone else to fully relax?

Weekend Off

I set me alarm to get up early and go for a short run this morning. I hit snooze a couple of times, then decided that I didn't want to go for a run. That's why I have a longer training schedule than most people. I don't want to force myself to do something I don't want to do. It's ok to take a day (or 2) off. It doesn't hurt me. I just don't want running to feel like a chore. I hate chores.

When I finally got up (at 10am), I had a piece of toast with Krema's PB. So good! It hit the spot with the Jim's organic coffee. Perfect match, along with sleeping in.

A few hours later, I had some Sharkies. They are a gummy shark. They are full of flavor and have the great gummy texture! The only thing, is that I wish there were more in a pack.


All the facts...

Look how cute they are...

This afternoon, we had a Rising Moon Organics pizza. It was tomatoes, basil and mozzarella. very good and it tasted so fresh. It was like someone picked the basil from their garden. It didn't taste like all the other frozen pizzas. Very tasty.

More facts...

The directions were kind of odd. It says to pre heat the oven to 390 (not 375 or 400). I found it funny that it warned you that the toppings will be hot once it comes out of the oven.

Final product...

Today was a pretty relaxing day of lazing around and watching movies. I'm about to go back to it. I just had left over dinner (the chili). It was mighty tasty, too. I don't think I'll have dessert tonight, too full!

Just a reminder, tomorrow is the last day to enter my giveaway!! Enter before you forget. Everyone needs a cool workout towel.
