A Cookie for Breakfast!
Feeling great and ready tackle this beautiful Thursday!!!! Thank you all for the sweet comments about getting better, they really helped. After class last night I came home and cleaned a little before I ate dinner, and didn’t start eating till almost 10pm!!!! So I just went with a boring bowl of cereal. I know that this would not be enough fuel for me but it was EASY and I was pooped. I ended up getting up in the middle of the night STARVING, will not do that again.
I mixed a little Kashi GoLean and some Granola. Topped off with 1/2 sliced nanner, and some PB!
Well it's CAMPING DAY as we say at my gym. It's ONE more day until FRIDAY! I don't know why we say camping day...lol... Tonight we are going to the Farmers Market to watch some friends sing carols and have coffee with them after, can't wait! I love the Farmers Market, I need some fresh produce hope they have a good selection.
I leave you with this:
MY MINI BOOTCAMP PART II
This is the plank, I know most of you know how to do this, but have you done it where you bring your knees down and up? Well try it, it might help you to do it longer! Let me know what you think?

Ok the bag that was posted last night that said "chocolate covered candy cane" was the coffee I purchased at the local coffee chop...lol...and it was wonderful. I will be buying coffee from them again! 
Last night I had decided to just sleep in today. I don't remember the last day I had a DAY OFF from exercise. I think it was LAST Wednesday so today will be that day, I am planning on walking a little on my break to get those points in for the HBBC,! My total points so far are 23.5.
Sense I had a little time on my hands this morning I baked up m version of the beautiful Fitnessistas breakfast cookie. I have been eyeing it for quite some time, and figured in honor of trying something NEW everyday this month I needed to try it.
Pumpkin Protein Pancakes
1/2 c oats
1/2 sliced banana
1/2 cup oats
1 egg
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
2 tbs skim milk
dash of pumpkin spice
handful of flaxseed
Directions: Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, then spread like a large COOKIE in a frying pan or griddle. Heat for 3-5 minutes on each side, eat and ENJOY!
This was so EASY and so yummers! It's a lot like a protein pancake that I have made minus the cottage cheese. I added a little almond butter to add some sweetness! I will be making more variations soon!

MORNING WORKOUT
The running part of my morning included a 7.45 mile run!!! I was up and energized this morning, and considering how tired I was last night (and that I had a dopio espresso before class) I don’t know how I got up to EARLY, but I did! I thought I would try an old highschool cross country route this morning, it’s funny too me that this 8 mile course was our LONG run. I was at the top of the hill so I did the course backward, BIG MISTAKE! Thank GOD I had my heed and gels, otherwise I would have died out there! The first 4 miles were all DOWN hill, and you know what that means that on the way back I had to run up hill. I thought it was just a GRADUALE down hill but I was wrong, it was STEEP. Man I stopped looking at my pace, not to get discouraged and trudged up those hills. The last half mile was down hill so I sprinted in and finished hard. I don’t think I have breathed that hard on a run in a LONG time.
CHIRSTMAS WORKOUT MUSIC
Why not burn some extra calories this season by shaking your bootie to some Holiday Music!!! I found a fun work out CD here to get you moving. You don't have to make time for the gym to burn off extra calories you can dance around the house to your favorite sounds of the season. Check out this CHART below that tells you how many calories you can burn from DANCING. I will be struttin my stuff every chance I GET!
DINNER AND A SURPRISE!
When I got home tonight I made a yummy whole wheat butternut squash qusedilla. I mixed butternut squash puree with s little Colby cheese, black beans, and spread on top of a quesadilla with a little sour cream of course. Then on the side I had a cranberry feta salad. It was the perfect amount of carbs, protein and fats!!!
Then I saw that I got a package from the lovely folks at LARABAR (thankyou!), it included a ton of LARABARS of course and a cute T-shirt ( I be wearing this to work tomorrow!). Along with my new Runners World Magazine I can’t wait to read!
WRAP UP
Well I did my AKB tonight and I was pretty exhausted, I am taking tomorrow off and doing some yoga in the AM. I KNOW my body needs it! I am teaching AKB in the evening so I need to be refreshed. RANDOM THOUGHT: I want to do a half marathon in January I have decided, I think it will be a great way to start the NEW YEAR, and kick off my Boston training, anyone know of any good ones close to SO CAL? Ok I am going to head to bed and watch a little TV and stuff envelopes. Hope you all had a TERRIFIC TUESDAY!!!!
P.S. Don’t forget to leave a comment for the PROBAR contest!!!!

MY MINI BOOTCAMP PART I
To encourage you all this season, I am throwing out some mini boot camp tips. If you don’t know this already I teach AKB (Aerobic Kickboxing) and I consider myself a motivator in the gym and at home! I am going to post some videos these next few weeks to show you some moves you can do at home, that take so little time but get you ready for the NEW YEAR. I want you all to look and feel your best for 2009, it’s your time to SHINE!
This move is real simple. You just need to put your feet under a couch and come up and do four quick air punches side to side. If you have someone to do this with have them hold a pillow in front of you s you can punch it! Do this for 2 minutes and you will feel the burn!
MY CHRISTMAS WISH
What I want for Christmas is to be able to do the inaugural Kaua’i Marathon!!! I absolutely love Kauai, hubby and I went there on our honey moon, and we found our second home away from home. I would love to save up for this marathon, it’s my next marathon goal after the Boston Marathon. Anyone want to go with me????!!!!
STARTING SCHOOL- THE JOURNEY TO BECOMING AN RD
Well I did it I registered for my first college class since 2006! I am on a journey to become a Registered Dietician ( and RD). I am so excited about starting in January!!! I will be taking 3 prerequisites in the next 6 months, before I start my Masters in Dietics. So these next months are going to be a true test to see if I am ready to be back at school. I am taking one class at a time, which I NEVER did in college, I always had 20 units and worked 2 jobs! I know that Anatomy and Physiology will be tough, but it’s only 2 days a week, so I think and hope I can handle it. The class is Friday morning 8am-11am and Saturday mornings 8am-11am (no more sleeping in on weekends). I can’t wait to start; I know this is what I need to be doing to get to where I want to be!
NEW THINGS FOR A NEW YEAR COUNTDOWN
December 9: I ate a GUAVA!!! I have never had one of these and a co-worker brought them in, of course I had to try them, VERY good but A LOT off seeds.
CREATE YOUR OWN COOK BOOK CONTEST WINNER!
The judges are still working at it stay tuned, promise to post the winner tomorrow.
CHRISTMAS CARDS
Well hubby did a great job of designing Christmas Cards! I am so glad we went with Bosco on them, it is so cute. I am going to finish stuffing them and putting them in the mail tomorrow (only 3 days later then I wanted to get them out).
