What am I musing about on this hot Monday morning? Read on and ye shall see.

1. It's flippin' hot. Like so hot that the walk from the car to the gym at 6 AM had me sweating. Gross.

2. I tried to lay out on Saturday but called it a day after 20 minutes. It's just not fun when you're literally dripping--and the fact that you think your dogs might die of heatstroke too.

3. I ran 12 miles on Saturday! Woot, woot! And it was pretty awesome. I felt way better than I did on either of my 10 milers. Maybe taking Friday off actually is a good idea...?

4. Problem is, I burn a ton of calories on those runs--and as you know, I'm still trying to lose weight. And after those long runs, especially in the heat, I'm not really hungry. I eat breakfast/post run protein shake and lunch normally, and usually just snack a bit more throughout the day--which is fine. The hunger hits the next day where I could literally eat my arm. And then I eat too much and feel sick. I've got to find a happy medium to force myself to eat enough on Saturday after my run.

5. And I'm sporting the flip flops and wearing knee braces today. Totally classy, I know. Judge away. But, I burned 700 calories before breakfast--I think I'm allowed a lapse in fashion (don't worry, I'm wearing pants--you can't see the braces!).

6. I freaking want a bagel/English muffin/pancake like you would not believe. Something with wheat--please!!

7. I did make gluten free cookies on Saturday (because I'd been craving a cookie for like 2 weeks). They were good. Kind of salty, which was weird. And the dough had a weird texture, but, they were good. Bonus: the husband wants nothing to do with them. Ha!

8. I spent Saturday recovering from my run watching Friends with the puppies. Can you ask for a better weekend? I think not.

9. Husband and I have our anniversary coming up this week. Do we have plans? Nope. Did I buy him a gift? Yep. Because I'm awesome like that. I am really bummed that we haven't made plans--I was going to order us a replica of our wedding cake topper (since my family ate ours whilst we were honeymooning)--but, time ran out, and the thought of making myself sick by eating cake on our anniversary just doesn't sound appealing. Boo!

10. I'm debating yoga today or ditching and going to lunch with the husband and father in law. I think yoga will win since I've managed to gain weight since Friday. Awesome.

11. I have to teach a jewelry making class to my young women on Wednesday night. I'm only slightly freaking out.

12. It's only Monday....

Well my dears, I better get goin'--there's a lot to get done today! (isn't that everyday?)

And have a fabulous day.
