I set my alarm for 5:15 am so I could snooze twice before I absolutely HAD to get up and get out the door for the 6 am Body Pump class at the back Bay HealthWorks.
I said hi to Patricia and started setting up my mat, weights, and bench. Looked to my right and saw Ali setting up her stuff too. Yay! 
I’d never taken a class with this instructor, Sara, but Ali said she was really energetic…and she was great! I’m not a morning person so I needed someone bright and cheerful to get me through the workout. We did a mix of Body Pump 67 and 72 so there were a few new songs. I’m kinda starting to feel under the weather so I kept the weights light. That didn’t matter because I still felt my muscles working extra hard. I love the ab work from 72 with those killer plank walks.
I walked home, had a snack, and relaxed for 30 minutes before getting ready for work. I had caught a few glimpses of myself in the mirror at BP and was shocked by how sickly pale I looked. I used some “natural glow” lotion when I got out of the shower as a remedy to that scary situation!
When I got to work, I had a cup of Peach Chobani.
I sprinkled a mix of nuts and berries for some added “Nut-rition”.
(Note: Planter’s Nut-rician was a Christmas gift. Santa left this in my stocking, but today was my first time trying it. Good purchase; thanks Mom!)
Clementine, all ready to be eaten. I’m hoping the Vitamin C will kick this cold before it really starts.
Lunch was leftover pasta. Mehhh. This was lacking in flavor.

I thought nut-trition was your joke, you should’ve taken credit for it. It was funny!

Great job waking up! Now you have your whole day free to do whatever. I suggest sitting in the sauna

My dad goes through a can of the Nut-ritian every couple of days. I steal some whenever I’m home and it’s delicious!
Early morning workouts are the best…you always feel so accomplished after!

Awesome job getting up so early for Body Pump – I wish I belonged to a gym – with Body Pump. Sounds like a great class!
Go to sleep early today and get some OJ – hopefully you don’t get sick!

Body Pump. Can’t say enough good things about it! (Although it kicks my butt EVERY time.)
