See, I swear I was actually up out of bed!
Funny story, I explained this concept to my mom one weekend when she was visiting me during college. She couldn't understand why so many girls were wearing club attire at 9am on a Saturday. To this day, she still points out, "Walk of shame!" whenever we see someone remotely dressed in bar-ish attire in the morning.

Vanilla-Banana-Berry- Protein Parfait (vegan)
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (SunWarrior brand, yo)
1 T chia seeds
1/2 T flax seeds
1/2 c almond milk
1/2 c water
cinnamon
nutmeg
1/2 t vanilla extract
stevia, 1 serving (or sweetener of choice)
(Next morning)
Throw 1 frozen banana (broken into chunks) into food processor (+ a little non-dairy milk for mixing) and you've got banana fro-yo! Layer oat mix, fresh fruit (I used blueberries) and fro-yo & savor every bite! <--It's that good! Told ya I'm obsessed!
Seth made cantaloupe juice. Which was interesting :)
Look what we spotted on the way!
I wish I could genetically engineer ducks to stay ducklings (alas, I now know what do do with my master's degree!). Wouldn't they make the cutest pets?
Soon after, it was BodyPump time! I missed slept through the 9am class so did my own version. Muscles were trembling!
I snapped this pic to show you my dorky running shoes. I think they're (f)ugly, but they are the best shoes I've ever found! They've recently been discontinued them so pretty soon I'm going to find a new bestie (they are probably my 10th pair). Anyone else strut around in ugly running shoes for the sake of performance?

The rest of our "Seth and Lauren" day was spent having lunch on the deck, walking around sunny Georgetown, wine tasting, and finally landed back on the couch for a movie night.
What's your ideal date-day?
Can you recommend a new pair of running shoes for these high-arched feet?
haha, I think my mom would have lectured me for a half hour if I told her about the walk of shame. great job getting up to run!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding about the ducklings. My friend and I decided we'd kill the thyroid gland in kittens to keep them tiny. But that's not very nice...
ReplyDeleteI tried the oat parfait and the fiance and I LOVED IT. But it's 35 degrees today, so we had eggs instead. Waiting for warm weather to try it again.
You are so motivated to be up at 5am for a run.. and then work a 12 hour shift.. and are willing to do it all over again tomorrow. GO GIRL! :)
ReplyDeleteConfession: I half walk of shamed it home this morning. I slept at Mike's and remembered to pack yoga pants and a t-shirt for the trip home, but somehow blanked on bringing shoes and got on the train in four inch heels. Go me.
ReplyDeleteI am so proud that you got up early! That's some DEDICATION!
ReplyDeleteMy newest dorky running shoes are the Asic Gel-Nimbus 12's. i LOVE them and i have ridiculously high arches. My "cool" workout shoes for body pump and spin are the Nike Free's and these are NOT good for runs!
