Lemme Work It: 10/28/09

Good day! I feel like I’ve been going nonstop all morning!

I got up dark and early at 7:00 so I could get everything done on today’s very long to-do list. Breakfast was oats with butterscotch, dates, peanut butter, and pumpkin…and coffee!

Then it was off to the gym before I could spend too much time thinking about it. I had planned to do my six mile run on the trails, but it was raining, so I took things inside. I have some sort of a mental block with Wednesday workouts as it is, so I just had a little Hump Day adventure. I did a one-mile run one the track, ran a half-mile of speed intervals, moved to the weight room and worked my arms, ran a half-mile hill on the treadmill, and finished with 15 minutes on the elliptical. I was all over the place, and unfortunately, it means I still need to get in a good amount of running in the next two days. But sometimes you’re just thrown off!

After the gym, I worked on a couple articles (I have two new ones on Tech Coquette: Online Dating for Potheads and Drinkers and How to Train Him to Stop Sending Late Night Booty Texts.) Then I moved on to party-related stuff. Um, also I hear the phrase “tardy for the party” every time I say “party” and it’s driving me crazy! Next thing I knew, it was lunch time!

Lunch was…fish plz! It was a “warm bowl of goodness” sort of day, so I baked a Trader Joe’s salmon burger (80 calories, you can make them from frozen, and they taste great…WIN!) while I made some penne. Then I added pesto and chickpeas, and made a salad!

And a green apple to finish!

This is a perfect lunch! I have a lot on the agenda for the afternoon, and this will definitely hold me over. Plus, I needed to get some greens in today! I’m hoping to keep my date with my boyf Trader Joe, but it might not happen until tomorrow.

Have a great afternoon!
