Seasonal Clif flavors? Yes, please

For the record, I LOVE Clif Bars. The original, builders protein and Luna for women are my faves.

This morning I was running later to work than usual (consistently 10 minutes late. Every. Damn. Day. Seriously…) and I was unable to make my typical egg white, provolone on wheat sandwich so I picked up a Clif Bar. New flavor!!!! Spiced Pumpkin Pie. I die. So, so good. I hate pumpkin pie itself (it’s a texture thing) but give me anything pumpkin flavor and I’m sold.

Of course I also have to have a fountain Diet Pepsi. Habit. I’ve fully admitted it.

Another fella who was filling up his soda cup this morning said he gets one every morning and therefore nicknamed his morning soda his “Daily”. I agreed whole heartedly that I too need my morning soda, smiled and wished him a great morning and to enjoy his “Daily”. Has a nice ring to it, ya?

I taught TurboKick tonight. Killed it! My class had around 9 in attendance which is up from the 4 that attended the afternoon classes last week. Woot woot!! I set my HRM. 620 calories, my friends.

Ya, I’m enjoying a little extra peanut butter on my bed time apple snack, thank you very much. 🙂

Time for CMA’s!!!! Love this night. And Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley are genius as hosts. Hilarious.

An Appropriate F Word?

Anyone else stoked it is Friday? 

This was a crazy week for me.  I started teaching Turbo Kick at a local YMCA this week.  It has been 6 years since I have taught group fitness classes.  Needless to say, I jumped back in with both feet!  I teach Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 5:30AM (which means a 4:40AM wake-up call in order to make the 20 minute drive).  OUCH!  I also teach on Wednesday and Friday afternoons at 4:30. 

So far, so good!  Turbo Kick is really intense, incredibly fast paced and contains a lot of choreography, but it is so. much. fun!  And the calories burned are CRAZY TOWN!  I will set my HRM next time I have class just to see how much I am burning.  Especially now that I am talking through the entire thing.   I was so proud of my class today.  They seriously killed it and this was only their second class.  Impressive! 

Friday Fave 1:

I attended TK certification in St. Louis the end of September and I am studying for my AFAA certification in December.  (I let my group ex certification go 6 years ago, so have to study and test for re-cert).  I’ll touch on that another time.

 

Friday Fave 2:

Random Acts of Kindness.  On Wednesday, I dropped off a mixture of popcorn, candy corn and peanuts in our break room at work.  I just wanted folks to enjoy the snack and know that others appreciate them, so I didn’t tell them who it was from (look closely at my note).  Where my office is located is also where a large chunk of faculty offices are housed.  They work their tails off and since it is mid-term time, things get stressful.    I think they enjoyed the snack.  The bowls were empty by the end of the day.

Friday Fave 3:

This guy.

Even though he woke me up at 4:30AM this morning (and I didn’t have to be up until 6:15!)  Grr.   When he needs out or is over the idea of sleeping, he will come up on my side of the bed and breath heavily into my face until I get up.  Or, he shakes his ears while standing next to the wall so it makes a terribly loud noise.  He does it on purpose for sure.  What a punk.

 

Friday Fave 5:

Humor.  This sign, located in a bathroom at a bar, in place of a mirror.  Classic.

Happy Friday, all!  Make it a good one.

 

What are you all doing this fine Friday eve?  Are you one of the above? 😉
