It’s a Good Friday

I haven’t been posting my dinners because I’ve had the same dinner for four nights straight:

The garlic whole-wheat pasta with broccoli rabe and turkey sausage. And cheese. (I’ve given up most dairy, but I just can’t quit cheese.)

I managed to do some form of exercise before work every day this week!

Monday: Physique + 3-mile run

Tuesday: yoga

Wednesday: Physique + 3-mile rurn

Thursday: spin

This morning, I was even up before my alarm. I can seriously count on one hand the number of times in my six-year post-college career that’s happened on a workday. I did some Zen in Your Den on OnDemand this morning before work and 10 minutes of yoga poses on my own after.

And a sunflower butter sandwich. Obviously.

So part of the reason I’m trying to beef up my strength training is to get stronger and faster. But also? I just want to look good in a bikini. Like Tina. She (and quite a few other people) do BodyPump, which I am so curious about.

It looks like they have a few of them in NYC, some at Gold’s Gyms and 24-Hour Fitness. Has anyone ever tried it in NYC? Do you just get a guest pass to one of those gyms?

A few random things:

• Today is Good Friday. I need to remember to not eat meat today.
• I’m going to Fitbloggin’ in May. If you’re interested in going, Attune Foods is doing a contest for a free ticket + $500 stipend for travel. Go forth and enter.
• Caitlin has some reviews of motivational books up, including my review of her book and the Happiness Project.
• My tax refund was deposited this morning! A bike will be mine soon!
• I’m excited for the NYRR 4-miler tomorrow. After all those half-marathons, a four-mile race sounds so amazing.
• Please send good thoughts Ali’s way. She’s waiting to hear if she got picked to Run for the Rabbit. UPDATE! THEY CHOSE ALI. BECAUSE SHE’S AWESOME.
• Please also send good thoughts my cousin’s way. She’s waiting for some good news that’s been a long time coming.

What are you excited about today!?
