You are here: Home / Weekend / Windy! Wordy!

December 14, 2010

Windy! Wordy!

This day is flying by!! Probably because it’s so windy outside!

I looked at my clock at 11:50, checked the group exercise schedule, and realized there was a BodyPump class starting in 20 minutes.

I COULD MAKE IT!

Under one condition: an automobile took me there.

I drove today, and felt a little bit like someone throwing a recyclable bottle in the trash. I have a policy that if you can bike somewhere you should. If you can walk, you should. The policy is bendable for rain and fancy clothes. But today the sun was shining! Time was of the essence and our wind chill is horrible, so I think I need to be a little lighter on myself sometimes about biking.

BodyPump was fun. I’m liking it more and more as I get used to it. And my arm muscles are most definitely getting more toned just from a few weeks of more lifting. After Pump, I ran into Karen and we went on a 7 mile bike ride together – on the Espresso bikes! I tried one out with Larbs in Boston and loved the virtual ride, along with the challenging hills. It’s really like biking outside! Gets me out of breath too. 30 minutes FLEW by!

Lunch –>

A fried egg on an English muffin with pumpkin butter. Mmmm!!! This muffin was one that Karen thought was my favorite Bread Basket brand but it was not. Disappointment. Can’t wait to restock those! But still tasted awesome – nice and fluffy!

IMG_4732

On the side, I assembled a huge salad –

  • Spinach
  • Carrot
  • Celery
  • Broc
  • Fig
  • Walnuts
  • Bleu Cheese
  • Honey
  • Faith’s Rosemary Salt

Would the person who sent me this cute little bowl in a package without a note or return address like to identify themselves!? I’d like to say thank you!

IMG_4766Blog

A big congrats to Caitlin and her Positivity Project big win last night for Operation Beautiful (donating to Girls On The Run, a great organization I volunteered with one semester) and to Angela for her finalist-ism in Project Food Blog!

Lastly, OpenSky Christmas presents out the wazoo – a new line has arrived and I am SO VERY EXCITED!!! More later!!

    You definitely must have an exception for wind chill. Rain (especially when warm outside) is one thing, but extreme wind in winter is DANGEROUS!!!

    You should be commended for biking/walking whenever possible (minus a few times). It is so frigid out. Don’t be so hard on yourself though! It’s all about balance.

    I can’t wait to start up body pump again…my friend recently gave me a discounted gym pass so I might be signing up soon to change things up for the winter. I used to love body pump back in university and it creates tone so quickly. Hopefully the music is better now than it was then though, lol.
    Thanks for the mention too!

    Never ever would have thought to put pumpkin butter with an egg on an english muffin, but now it sounds as natural & delish as anything could be.

    For a second I thought you’d somehow got the pumpkin INTO the egg, then I realised the orange was probably just the yolk. D’oh!
