Good Morning! Yay, the weekend is upon us! Yesterday, after work, I headed down to the gym in my office building for a quick run while watching Oprah. As a side note: Oprah had the author of Twilight on and I am still not getting all the hype surrounding it, I guess I will just take Caitlin’s word for it.
I ended up running 3.2 miles, I had intended to run at least 4 miles, but around mile 3 a guy walked into the gym and stunk the whole place up. He got on the bike next to me and the smell overtook the whole gym, it smelled like the combination of Adam’s Lacrosse and Football gear from high school x 10 combined with dumpster baking on a hot summer day!!! It was UNBEARABLE! I immediately started self talk, telling myself, “One more mile”, “You have ran during worse conditions (pain, injury, extreme cold/heat)”. But after about 5 minutes, I realized I had two options : get off the treadmill or vomit. The smell was making me sick to my stomach. So, I stopped running. All I can think of is he had worn the same clothes for several sweaty workouts without washing them. Are people really that lazy that they: a) cannot pack themselves a gym bag with fresh clothes everyday or b) cannot wash their gym clothes? Ugh, WASH YOUR WORKOUT CLOTHES PEOPLE!!!! Your laziness ruined my workout! Ok, rant over!!!
After my workout, I showered and hopped on the bus to meet Adam at the funeral home up the street from us. A close friend of both of our families dad passed away. We live in such a small town that we actually know the whole family quite well, we have been keeping them in our thoughts and prayers all week. After the wake, we headed to the Navy Yard Bistro for dinner. We both started with a Harpoon UFO.

I also had a small piece of bread with olive oil. This olive oil was so good! Can anyone else tell the difference between quality and not so quality olive oil?

The thing I love about the Navy Yard Bistro is that everyday the have a different veggie option. I am not veggie, but sure eat a lot like one most times. This was last night option!

Looks good right? That is what I ordered!!!!

I hated it, it was awful (hehehehe)

Yup!!! I cleaned my plate!!!! SO DELICIOUS!
After dinner, Adam and I headed home and rented The Ugly Truth and watched it in bed with the dog…PARTY ANIMALS!!! During the movie, I sipped on a mock-tail of 1/2 pom juice and 1/2 pom flavored seltzer water! I love me some POM!!!

The movie was really good. The plot was pretty typical for a romantic comedy – predictable. But, it was racey and super funny!!!! At one point Adam and I were laughing so hard we were crying, I would recommend it if you have nothing else to. I went to bed after the movie…OLD LADY!
This morning, I got up at 7:30 and dragged a VERY RESISTANT Oscar out for a walk in the rain. Oscar hates the rain for real!!!!!! Breakfast was a spinach, tomato and reduced fat mozzarella cheese egg white omelet. It was not the best looking omelet because it fell apart, but it was tasty!

I had some Ezekiel cinnamon raisin toast with earth balance butter.

I also had some coffee…

Well, I am off to get ready for Body Pump with my bestie May and Melissa . They are both BP virgins….mahahahahaha!!! I will admit I am still super sore from the lunges on Thursday night, this should be interesting! See you guys later!

Oh gross! Your description of the way the man smelled reminded me of what I like to call hot garbage– the smell that comes from the office kitchen after someone microwaves their “lunch!”
p.s. I don’t really get Twilight either…
