Bucket List

No go on the complete Tic-Tac-Toe of Christmas in May packages.  Does anyone know Santa's customer service number?  I might have to chat with an elf about getting my tracking numbers.

Today was packed enough though, so I had plenty going on.

and BED!

I actually slept in today (aka, I wasn't up until after seven).  I stuck to my new breakfast rule and ate before I did anything else.  It's surprisingly hard to do, but if I don't, I'll go hours on the computer before I decide to eat and that throws my whole day off.  And of course it was Multigrain Cheerios.  I'm addicted!

While I let breakfast digest, I posted the UTag I.C.E. blog entry HERE.  Once I was satisfied breakfast had digested, I hit the trainer hard and did a quick 8.4 miles while I watched the beginning of The Bucket List.

I cut it short because I had a job interview at eleven.  Hopefully in a week or so I'll have a job at a local gym; think happy thoughts for me!  I did order the NASM book the other day, so this would be my first job in the fitness industry; the first of hopefully many to come!  Personal Training here I come.

After the interview, I finished up The Bucket List with 18.0 miles on the trainer, showered, ate a quick lunch of leftover gorditas, and headed to work (Girl Scouts).  Normally I would have taken a nap after that workout, but I didn't have time.  You could tell I needed one though because I had a permanent yawn going the entire program.  I hope the kids didn't think I was bored!  haha

When I got home, you'd think I would nap, but no.  I sat down and rested for half an hour before I headed out for today's run.  I planned on an easy three miles because I was exhausted, but even as I wrote out my route on the white board for my roommate, I added extra listed as "in case I get ambitious." 

I don't know what it is, but when my body is tired, it speeds up.  Maybe my body just realizes that the faster it goes, the sooner it can rest.  I'm not sure, but I headed out with roughly a 7:15 mile #1 and finished 3.86 miles with an average 6:43.  It felt so smooooooooth!  My body is officially as crazy as my mind is!

I had my second banana w/ peanut butter of the day (yay workout snacks!) and made dinner; Cajun seasoned Swai fillet with broccoli.  I was quite happy with it because I cooked the broccoli perfectly!  I typically overcook it and it's too soft, but today it was still perfectly crunchy. 

And now it's time for bed - at 9:30pm!

Questions

1.  Do you eat breakfast?  If so, do you have a go-to breakfast food?
I hope with all my might that every single one of you eat breakfast! 

2.  Have you ever experienced exhaustion-generated speed?  Any thoughts on its origin?
I'm pretty sure I have a lot of tension to work on. 

3.  Do you have a bucket list?


Stay fit.  Stay healthy.
