Hey everyone! If you guys follow me on Twitter, you noticed I got up and did Body Pump at 6am this morning! I had to squeeze in the Monday morning class class I will be in NYC this weekend (!!!!!!) and won’t be able to Body Pump Saturday or Sunday. It looked like this when I left my apartment at 5:45 this morning!
While driving to the gym is complete darkness I thought, “Wow, this is commitment!” Body Pump was great as usual, I especially loved this instructor. It felt great to get in a workout before 7am 
Plus, I never get to work out on Monday’s due to my insane schedule. Getting up on Monday’s for BP may be a new tradition, we will see.
After BP, I hussled home, hopped in the shower, got ready and made breakfast.
Green Monster:
- 1 banana
- Ice
- Chocolate Green Superfood
- PB2
- Chocolate PB2
- Protein Powder
- Fat Free Milk
- Chocolate Almond Milk
I also had a mini whole wheat bagel with Barney Butter.
and some coffee with half and half.
Here is today’s outfit:
Brown and Tan Pinstripe Pants (GAP), White Cami (H&M), Tan Cardigan (Jacob), Boots (Nine West - from 6 years ago).
I love this necklace, my mom and dad bought it for me when they were on a cruise a few years ago.
Gorgeous!!!!

I really should start going in the morning with you. Now that I have some flexibility in my schedule, I can probably take the super early class with you, if you go again!

Ok, I will let you know if I go early again!

Congrats on getting up this morning!! I am SO not a morning person. I REALLY want to start working out in the mornings when I change jobs in a couple of weeks, but it’s cold out now and I just want to stay wrapped up in bed.
I am thankful for my mom! She always answers the phone when I need to talk.

I would love to be an interviewee!!
Let me know if you’d like a Canadian to join in.
You should definitely ask for a daily outfit to go along with your own theme!
November 16, 2009 at 7:41 pm |
I added you to the list, Jaime! I am so excited!!!
That is a great thought! I will see if everyone can take a picture of thier outfit that day! Smart girl

Ohhhhh I want to be interviewed! You can ask me about my first trip to Whole Foods, and I will explain about how an awesome lady took me there and we got yogurt.
Kudos on the 6 am workout!

Damn girl, that really is commitment!! Love the necklace. And the usage of the word “homeboy”. Lol, I use that word all the time. Love it!

Ali is it okay for me to just mail you a check for the cause? and also…what are you doing in NY this weekend?
November 17, 2009 at 2:37 pm |
You can mail it in yourself, that is probably easier, the address is on the website. We are going for the weekend just to do some touristy things

Wow, that’s an EARLY Body Pump class.
But I guess it’s worth waking up that early for such a good workout!
I’m thankful for the sauna. Because if I forget my gym clothes (like I did today), I can just grab a towel and go relax!
