Try Something New Everyday!

Let's play "Guess What Xtina Ate for Breakfast!"

Breakfast 1: Oat Bran w/ Raspberries

Breakfast 2: Skinny Caramel Latte and Reduced-Fat Very Berry Coffee Cake

EHHH you're wrong. The raspberry oats were Victoria's. I ate coffee cake for breakfast. This is a big deal. I rarely eat anything other than fiber cereal, oats, or toast w/ pb & banana...especially during the work week. What's the occasion? Nothing other than FREE PASTRY DAY at Starbucks...like I needed an excuse to eat something fatty. How fun. In my twisted mind I'm already undoing what I'm about to do on Saturday morning...

COOPER RIVER BRIDGE 10K

I'm nervous. The 5K last week went really well--my official time was 27:21--but, in case you can't multiply, a 10K is twice as long. And I did something really bad to my ankles last week. I blame my new sneakers. They feel bruised and when I go down the stairs, I feel like they're going to snap. That can't be good. I decided to take it easy last night and tried something new: YOGA.

Yoga = bizarre. First problem was the guy next to me. WHY did 1 of 2 men in the class have to place his mat next to mine? Spot to the left of me was already reserved for air thank you very much. Don't worry, I made it a point to "accidently" whack his hand with mine...twice. And at the end of the class he apologized for "hitting" me. Good. Now he knows that I take up two spaces and he will never park his sweatiness near me. 

Ok, back to being serious -- it was a good switch-up from the treadmill pounding and I got a good stretch but it was just too slooooooow for me. I can't handle posing in the same position for more than 5 seconds...unless you are taking my picture and planning on tagging it on facebook in which case I will sit and let you snap 500 pictures of me. I'll give Yoga another try next Monday but I also plan on trying Zumba too. According to Eco's site, Zumba "fuses hypnotic latin rhythms and easy to follow moves to creat a dynamic fitness program that will blow you away...an absolute blast in one exhilirating hour of caloric-burning, body-energizing, awe-inspring movements meant to engage and captivate for life."

Key Phrases:

• easy to follow - unless i'm popping adderall, this is my level
• one exhilirating hour - as if 55 minutes isn't enough? geez.
• caloric-burning - great news, more eating 

Please oh pleeeeeease let me learn awe-inspiring moves that will blow someone away. Like maybe if Lil Wayne ever comes to Charleston I can bust out my Zumba moves and become one of his girlz. 

xtina + weezy + nicki - it could happen, right?

Ok probably not, seeing as last week my trainer told me "You don't have very much control over your body today." Uhh. To that I said "Fine, time to lay." And spread myself on the floor until he let me do something different. In that moment, I am 100% sure he hated me.

Let's end on a happy note with a link that is very appropriate to this post. All single girls need to check out this Glamour article!
