My 8am client cancelled this morning, but I decided to brave the drizzle and get to the gym for my own workout. It was super empty so I had all the weights to myself and did that Fab Abs set I’m loving and some chest work. Before I went I had iced coffee and an egg beaters patty.

(I heard a rumor that superstar athletes get them, but this could be entirely made up. By me.) Anyways, I have always been a big big fan of Subway.

After mixing I went put some … [Read more...]
Hello and Happy Tuesday! I started the day with a quick 3 miler. I’m really starting to get antsy about the race, but not in a good way. My stomach is already in knots! After the run I made oat bran for breakfast. I received a lot of questions about oat bran so here’s the low down. Oat bran: is just the outer husk of the oat – and has a lot of fiber (it’s called “bran” … [Read more...]
