Okay. Enough of the pity party. I promise. (Also, no more blogging serious things while PMSing.)
I started today off with a blueberry bagel thin that the Thomas people sent me. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a blueberry bagel (even though they used to be my favorite), so I was really excited to try these. Supposedly, blueberry bagels aren’t “real” New York bagels, or so a former coworker told me. This guy and I categorically disagreed with anyone the other one said, so I swore up and down he was wrong. Then I moved into the city, and I have not once seen a blueberry bagel in a bagel shop. Damnit. Anyway, these were good and brought me back to the days of eating a blueberry bagel with cream cheese and drinking Snapple Rain every. single. day. before tennis camp in high school.

Today, I put sunflower butter and strawberries on top and had a hard-boiled egg on the side for a little extra protein.
I had a meeting this morning, and then I headed off to do my favorite cross-training: swimming. I only started swimming to prepare for the sprint tri, but I’ve become sort of obsessed with it for cross-training. It feels like yoga in the water to me. Now that the tri is over, I don’t swim with any sort of workout or distance goal in mind–I just swim for time. Today, I swam for about 40 minutes and left feeling sufficiently worn out.
What’s your favorite cross-training workout? (And favorite bagel?)

Isn't our race on Sunday?
Favorite Cross training- spinning. Favorite Bagel- everything! Speaking of bagels- can you bring some NY ones up to MAINE?! I miss them : )
@Lizzy: haha yes...and yes.
I'm obsessed with sesame bagels, and used to eat them all the time (with a huge shmear of cream cheese and Pringles layered on top. that's what I was fat) but since moving to Florida, they're nowhere to be found!
I was back in NY state a few weeks ago and ate three sesame bagels to make up for lost time :)
@Katy Widrick: I feel like I'm currently making up for 7 years in D.C. and then a year of trying to lose weight by eating every bagel I can. (I actually talk about bagels way more than I actually eat them. I only eat a "real" bagel like once a week.)
I love sesame bagels ( when they are covered in about 1 million sesame seeds- not just a wimpy sprinkle) and my favorite cross training would be biking, preferably along the river.
I really don't want to be that person, but I don't have a favorite bagel and don't remember the last time I ate one. However, Rick's favorite bagel is onion... which I find odd for some reason.
Oh and in high school I ate a lender's frozen blueberry bagel for lunch every single day. Maybe that's why I don't eat them any more? =)
@Fit Chick in the City: And you call yourself a New Yorker! ;)
Hi! Just found your blog and love it :) I played tennis in high school/attended many a tennis camp in Texas, and I distinctly remember my dad calling me the "bagel queen" around that time because apparently bagels were my tennis fuel of choice. Thanks, Dad. ;-) Anywho, your bagel looks delish!
mmnnmm egg everything bagels with cream cheese. My total favorite!
I've tried those blueberry bagel thins. They're not a substitute for a real bagel but they're tasty!
i love blueberry bagels! but you're right, you can really only find them outside of the city. i always try to get my fix in maine. however, they do have them at bagel works on 1st ave between 66 and 67. I HIGHLY recommend. Love your blog!
I'm a blueberry bagel lover as well - they're the best. Apparently it's kind of hard to find a good GF blueberry bagel anywhere. Rats.
I haven't had a real bagel in a while. My favorite is onion or egg made into a greasy breakfast sandwich. #thatswhyiwasfat
We have blueberry bagels in Brooklyn!! My favorite is the everything. With vegetable cream cheese. Mmmmmmmmm.
@Cat @ Breakfast to Bed: oh, and snapple rain? Best ever.
