Sick

This is one of those titles that’s gonna work in a bunch of ways.

You might be sick of photos from yesterday, but here are some more from my post-grad festivities (i.e. getting drunk in the afternoon — oops! — and playing  kicking serious butt at putt putt).

Today I am feeling a little bit sick, which makes me think that how exhausted I was last night when I decided that froyo celebrations = better than swimming vs. going downtown vs. doing homework were in order.

Lucky for me, the froyo date was with Steph, who gave me a whole lot of words of wisdom yesterday. Whether or not she reads this, I gotta say: no matter what she says it’s how she’s living that is the best advice — she does her thing and doesn’t apologize for it. There’s no doubt in this girl’s mind, and I love her confidence and hope some of it rubs off on me!

You might be a little sick of seeing my eats — they’re painfully boring and I seriously feel the need to spice things up. I also feel the need to add that I’m flying by the seat of my pants and am only 167 hours away from freedom (that’s a week, pretty much to the hour) post-exam.

Today was cake day number 1 in lab. This is pretty much the reason I was excited for this class. Not gonna lie–there was so much cake I think a toothache surfaced upon walking into the lab today. Devil’s food, spice, carrot, pound, yellow, white…the list goes on. I had a bite of most of these samples and may or may not have ignited serious chocolate cravings.

My partner and I made 4 different cakes to compare the recipes and filled them with a mocha cream filling and covered them with some chocolate frosting that you know was fat and calorie free.

Did I mention today was fun?

I hope you like this

And messy?

if you’re going to make a mess out of something, it might as well be a mocha and/or chocolate eruption, no?

Or that I have the best looking unit Brescia history (sorry fellow foods and nutrition students–there’s no question).

I’m a little sick of the same old workouts. So I spiced it up yesterday and again this morning. I knew tonight I’d be in it with the project I should be working on  am going to dominate in a few minutes here so I opted for hitting the trails this morning instead of the group ride tonight. It’s also 12091029109 degrees (rough estimate on that one) so I think the earlier was the better. So the Garmin shows the same old same old, but I stopped on the ten minutes to get people to look at me in the park do a quick circuit of 25 squats, 20 lunges, 15 pushups, 10 mountain climbers/side, and 5 burpees. 4 rounds plus just over 4 miles was a pretty good start to the day! Sure I felt a bit like I was being “bad” and not sticking to my plan (I have a coach, I pay money for a plan, etc. I was thinking) but I also am taking care of me first and foremost…

On that same vein, I’m sick of doing what I think I should. This deserves a post of its own (and it will surely get one soon) but for now, a cheesy quote will suffice!

I might be sick of studying and school in general, but I’m not really studying right now. And since I’m at Starbucks, things could really be much worse.

Remember those chocolate cravings I ignited? This decaf mocha iced americano might help…

And if you’re sick of my randomness, that’s okay. That’s kind of how my life is going right now..

“Muffins are generally mixed by the muffin methods.” <– my note: or the muffin man :)

Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go do this project/get my zen on/knock myself out with some nyquil/see you in the morning.

:)

What are you sick of?
