Morning Person? Night Owl?

Did you see my bucket list last night? What’s on your bucket list?

Yesterday morning, when I laid in bed making a very conscious decision to not go to the gym, I read my Tumblr dashboard on my iPhone in bed. (I’m the queen of good decisions.) Liz posted this link about finding your Circadian rhythm, or inner clock. Mine said that I’m a night person. SHOCKER.

While technically it’s possible to challenge your Circadian rhythm, it’s difficult. Some days I want to be a morning person, but most days I’m happy working out after work or sneaking in a workout at lunch and hitting snooze a few more times to catch a few more minutes of sleep and a few more snuggles with Bailey. Even if this means a more hectic morning and a more hectic day.

Speaking of hectic mornings, this morning I got oatmeal from the cafeteria. I had a mostly empty sunflower seed butter jar in my desk, so I decided to go for some Oats in a Jar [with banana.]

Bucket List

Two of my favorite weekday night things happen to fall on the same night.

#fitblog is a weekly Twitter chat run by the amazing Katy. It’s a weekly chat that brings together anyone on Twitter interested in chatting about health and fitness. And it’s awesome. I missed it tonight because I had a Junior League meeting.

This week, we held our meeting at China Fun, a Chinese restaurant on the Upper East Side. It was an amazing departure from our usual meetings, held at the League headquarters in a board room. Despite this being my third year on the committee and being chair this year, there’s still some people I know better than others. It was awesome to catch up with and get closer with a few girls on my committee I don’t typically talk to as much. It was also awesome to eat an egg roll, drink a glass of wine and eat some steamed veggies and chicken with brown rice:

Back to #fitblog. When I walked into my apartment after my meeting, I was catching up on the end of #fitblog. (Big dork here.) The last question had to do with what was on your bucket list.

Some awesome answers I saw:

  • adopting a child from Ethiopia
  • starting a company

What’s on my bucket list?

  • get married
  • have kids
  • buy a house (or apartment)
  • get another degree 
  • start my own business
  • write a book
  • get another dog!
  • run the NYC Marathon (next year, baby!)
  • travel to Greece (maybe for a honeymoon!?)

I’ve never written a bucket list before this, but if I had…the following things probably would have been on it, and can be crossed off!

What’s on your bucket list? What have you crossed off?
