Ello, mates!
Is anyone else’s wordpress reader not working? Mine isn’t showing any blogs. Boo.
You know how some people cannot run unless there are headphones in their ear blasting Kesha or Rage Against the Machine?
I am not one of the people.
Due to my running funk, I decided to run hills with some music hoping that would motivate me to blast off.
Yeah, I got a headache.
Apparently, Pink and I don’t mix while running. No offense, Pink. I love ya, girl.
However, if I’m just chilling on the elliptical or pumping some iron, I need music. Otherwise, I get bored insanely fast. Just like in spin class. If the instructor is not up to par (cough, cough), the music better be good. If not, I’ll leave.
Currently, here’s my playlist:
I listen to a lot of comedy when I workout. I’m that weirdo who laughs out loud on the elliptical. It’s because I find The View hilarious. (Although I do love The View.)
That’s just a sample. Hopefully that give you guys some new tunes.
So, let’s get this party started again with WIAW (or Tuesday. Whateva.)
Pre-breakfast:
Breakfast:
Egg white omelette, tuna, chocolate almond milk, banana
I haven’t been that hungry for breakfast, to be honest. I’m not hungry because I get home from work at 9:30 and eat dinner as well as a whole cake. Well, not a whole cake, but it feels like it. My food baby is then produced.
Insert 12 mile run and cool down on the elliptical.
I decided to run my favorite running path in the hopes that it would take me out of my funk. It worked a bit. I really enjoyed my run for once. I didn’t check my pace though. It could have been definitely really slow despite the fact that I thought I was running quicker than Kara Goucher.
Also, the weather was perfect!
In the past two weeks, the weather in the morning has been in the 80′s. I’m not use to that. Today it was rather cloudy.
I saw this driving home after my run. I was really jealous. Damn you, Hood to Coast runners. I would have given a lung to run it.
Insert five-minute shower and ten minutes of getting dressed.
Lunch:
Greek yogurt + peanut butter + cereal + Luna bar + apple + grapes + vanilla protein powder + dates
Insert appointment with Marine recruiter.
I went to the Marine’s office today to talk with my recruiter about jobs. I decided I am going to re-take my ASVAB test to receive a higher technical score because I am interested in air traffic control. I also really like food services, but I don’t know how much I will enjoy it. I think I will, but air traffic control seems rather awesome.
Also, they moved my shipment date to November 7th. I guess I am okay with that. I need to fit in more studying time and memorization of ranks.
My time management is alright, but I just need to prioritize my time. Reading Hunger Games and watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia need to go on the back burner.
Snacks:
Sugar free oatmeal raisin cookie
Three shot Americano
Dinner:
Tamale x2 + zucchinni + onion rings
Goat cheese + pepper pizza x2
Dessert:
Happy Wednesday, ya’ll!
