Leaving on a jet plane

I'm quickly blogging on my phone. I'm about to go to bed, but I should have time to do a proper blog tomorrow while I'm sitting in airports. So, look for a better blog tomorrow!

In short though, today was great. I I got in 2 excellent workouts. And I got to hang out with some great friends and eat sushi! I call that a win.

Welcome to December

"Welcome to December, bitch," said Michigan this morning.

I didn't even leave my apartment until like 11:00 a.m. and it was still only 22°F, which was hotter than the RealFeel my phone gave me at 11°F. Great. But yoga was stifling. I convinced my friend Bekah to come to her first ever yoga class with me and because he's the best instructor, there were a lot of people. So, essentially, we did hot yoga. It felt pretty good. I don't mind sweating, so despite nearly dying of dehydration, I enjoyed myself. I'm also finally able to do forward folds without straining to touch the ground. Baller.

The rest of my afternoon was dedicated to running errands: attempting to return a suitcase (T.J. Maxx said, "No refund for you"), getting a refund for my phone screen from Hell, running to meijer to reload my staples: eggs, granola bars, grapes, and cat things, and picking up my dry cleaning (because unfortunately I own dry clean only items...boo). By the time I returned home, my friend and I decided to hang out at my apartment that evening, so I got my butt into gear and cleaned up a little bit around the apartment before heading out for work out #2: Zumba. There were some new songs in the mix for me since I hadn't been in about 2 weeks, but it was a good sweaty time. I love me some dancing.

I also ate food today, which I do everyday, so applause is not necessary. I stupidly forgot I had been sent home with spaghetti, so today's eats (some of which are pictured below) included the following:

Breakfast: eggs, turkey sausage, grapes

Lunch: Trader Joe's baby pizza that is only 250 calories (WIN)

Snack

And then I forgot I was documenting. So, my other snack was some teddy grahams and dinner was some ham and cheese dip that I whipped up because I magically had all the ingredients bought cream cheese on sale so I could make it because I had all the other ingredients.

Then my pal came over and we watched John Mulaney's stand-up on Netflix, chatted a bit and now here I am!

Tomorrow's plans include: strength training in the AM, cleaning and sorting through my things, getting a hair cut in the afternoon, grabbing a cardio session, half-off sushi with some friends, hanging out in the PM, and blogging so as to keep you entertained! Also, packing because I leave early on Wednesday for more interviews. Packing = no fun which is why I chose not to include it in my original outline of plans.

Long time, no post!

Hi friends. Sorry for the lack of posting. I have plenty of excuses as to why I've left you hanging, but instead of wasting your time, I shall just say this: I'm back! I'm going to be doing lots of traveling and interviewing over the next few weeks, but I'd love to take you along for the journey...until I leave for Africa. Then all bets are off :-)

I'm also going to be doing lots of exercising. Despite all the traveling, I've checked and most of my hotels have some type of workout facility. Soo, I'll be posting lots of workout summaries and photos.

I have a feeling I'll also be doing a lot of eating, so I'll document that to the best of my ability as well. 

Catch you tomorrow for a great first day of December!
