thursday surprises.

I totally surprised myself today.

Surprise #1. I actually got out of bed at 5:15am for a 6:00am strength training class at the gym. I’ve been trying to get myself to go all Winter Break, but I think you can understand why that’s been tough. Pumping iron before sunrise? That’s silly talk.

I wish I had been sillier a few weeks ago because swinging kettlebells with crusties in your eyes is how you pick up guys at the gym. #totallykidding

I was eating PB&J protein oatmeal + iced coffeeee by 7:00am, gave it a couple hours to digest, then met up with a friend for a hilly 7.3-mile run.

2 hours of legit exercise. #outofcontrolhunger

Fast forward through my ever-exciting daily life of pinning, eating, pinning, eating, e.mailing… I found myself on the couch with a homemade “mocha” {Via + hot water, 1% milk, unsweetened cocoa, raw sugar} and a book this afternoon. Surprise #2. #i’mnobookworm

Haven’t flipped through all that many pages yet. I think I’ll just skip to Chapter 4… then 7 ;)

Random Note of the Day: I’m obsessed with Essie Mademoiselle nail polish. #boringoldladypink

Recipe post come tomorrow morning…

Good night all,
