my less serious day: pest control

This morning I stood up and had this thought: "I should do the dirty dishes before the pest control guy comes."

I paused and then had this thought: "Last time he was here he got down on my kitchen floor, squashed an ant with his bare hands, and sniffed it."

And then I sat back down.

Wearing.

Jeans: GAP; blouse: J Crew; sweater & necklace: LOFT; shoes: Lucky Brand via Piperlime

Doing.

This morning began with a cold yet fantastic 1 hour 14 minute run with L at easy pace. 1.14 may seem like a random amount of time to you, but I assure you it is all part of my master plan. I went on a short walk during my day and finished up with a 60-minute RIPPED class (check out Courtney's recent post on RIPPED from an instructor's perspective).

Eating.


Pre-run I had 1/2 banana, 1/2 mug of black coffee, and 1 pint of water. For breakfast I had a heaping bowl of Kashi GoLean Original mixed with Quaker Oatmeal Squares, chopped dates, 1/2 sliced banana, and almond milk.


Lunch was an Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Tortilla spread with peanut butter, smashed banana, chopped dates, and cinnamon and served as a quesadilla.


On the side two whole raw carrots (yes, I ate them Bugs Bunny style).


My afternoon snack was a Pink Lady apple and almonds. I also had a Fiber One Oats & Chocolate bar before my afternoon workout.


Dinner was Annie's Organic Shells & Aged Wisconsin Cheddar, hard boiled eggs (one whole egg + one egg white), and this (and more) roasted broccoli.


Dessert was this 'Waterloo' chocolate (I'm working my way through a delicious box), white chocolate with a mocha butter cream layered on top of a dark hazelnut praline base.

Note: this post represents what happened in my world on Thursday, January 19.
