Proper Game Day Fueling

Happy MNF Night! woo hoo!

As I currently type this I am pre-gaming.

Popcorn, seltzer & HIMYM = a great combo for pregame prep.

I knew that if the Jets wanted to play their best today that it was necessary for me to get in a good workout this morning.

Hey, if the players are in shape for game day, the fans should be too right?

I woke up bright and early, almost too early to head out to Monday morning spin.

The gym was a ghost town today due to the holiday and I guess when Columbus takes the day off so do most early gym goers.

Not this one.

I've said it once. And I'll say it again...

Dear Monday Morning Spin Instructor,
I do NOT wake up at 5am to hear about your new spin sneakers and where you took your kids this weekend. But on the other hand I do appreciate the new music, I just wish that you would make it louder then a whisper and clean it so it wouldn't skip for the last 5 minutes.
Yours truly,
Julie (the young girl on bike 12 who frequently rolls her eyes at you)

Then I pumped some sewious iron. Rex Ryan would have been proud.

Sometimes a simple breakfast just makes you smile..

TJs whole wheat english muffin, naturally more & fresh apple with cinnamon.
fall perfection

It's EFFING freezing out today.

enough about that.

Unlike many teachers and government workers, I was not able to celebrate Columbus' findings.

Instead I celebrated the fact that it was lunch time

I threw together the wrap of all wraps.

It was kickin with flava flav.

whole wheat rye wrap, Tribe Garlic lovers, spinach, tomato, red bell pepper, cottage cheese seasoned with garlic powder & pepper, topped off with some hot n spicy love.

The piece de resistance of my lunch was a spicy son of a gun that I found at WF on Saturday night
in my opinion there is nothing better then hot n spicy fresh salsa goodness.

Perfection. with a side of steamed broccoli + salsa.

It was a fiesta in my mouth.

Then I wanted something sweet to end the fiesta.

What happens when you can't decide between two fruits?

choose both! celebrating fall in style. appleach (peach+apple) that's it I'm starting a new fruit breed.

Then I settled down like a good student to take a bite into my reading.

half hour later I felt a vibration on my leg. open eyes. fml I fell asleep.

must. stop. afternoon passout sessions.

I had to get back to work but not before a quick coffee date and an even quicker snackiepoo!

how in the world did I go SO long without PB2. I'm SO glad it's back in my life and even more gladder that it made my Oikos all thick n creamalicious.

obviously my eats today were ALL in preparation for the game tonight. It's necessary to fuel properly before a big game.

shutup Julie.

Alright well I'd LOVE to stay and chat but Mark needs my full attention.

Gotta get my game face on. as you should too. ;)

catch ya on the flip.

holy HUGE dairy-free giveaway!
