Good morning 
Not sure if the sun is shinin where you are, but here it is rain, rain rain. That made it extremely difficult to get outta bed at 4:30 and go to the gym!! When my alarm first went off, the excuses started rolling into my head: “You can work out after class.” “There is always tomorrow” “You need some rest, you don’t need to drive in this drizzle!” ENOUGH! Istarted reminding myself of how glad I would feel that I went, how nice it would be to already have a workout in by 6 AM! And how much I’m gonna looooveeeee my pancake breakfast when I got home
So I went! Here is what I did:
- 100 crunches
- 15 jumping squats (to warm up)
- 15 minutes of running
- 15 minutes on elliptical
- 15 minutes on the stairs
- 100 bicycle crunches
Guess today was a kind of ’15′ day, haha I did plan on running 5 miles, but after I was on the treadmill for only 10 minutes, I realized I wasn’t enjoying it at all! I kept looking at the timer and my speed and wondering when I was going to be done. Running outside is so much better than being stuck on a treadmill!! By the time I left the gym, I was a sweaty, happy woman
I drove (the 20 minutes!) back in the rain, and immediately started in on the scrumptious breakfast I had in mind!
Strawberry Drizzle Pancakes! (to go with the drizzle outside, of course 
I used Aunt Jemima whole wheat pancake mix and added brown sugar and cinnamon to the mix. My toppings:
- heated strawberries, mashed into mush <–hehe
- Stonyfield strawberry yogurt drizzled on top
- Maple syrup
- Dark Chocolate pb smeared on each pancake
Gahhhhh, foodie bliss They were so decadent! My initial thought was that they would be too sweet, but it tasted more like a breakfast after adding the peanut butter. I’m definitely making this again!
Now that I’ve had breakfast, it’s time for me to get ready for school! We are learning about metabolism and diabetes this week, fun fun! Oh, I also had a little coffee with my breakfast, but am not really liking the flavor of it…this may be a good day to have a diet soda
Today’s agenda:
- School 9-2
- Work (for an hour) 3-4ish
- Back to school for Micro lab 5:30-9
Gotta pack my lunch! See you guys later and have a Happy Humpday! Hopefully you are getting sunshine wherever you may be

Nice blog! I’m glad I found it!

It’s a drizzly/cloudy day here too. It does make good studying weather in my opinion though so it’s perfect for me studying for my Pharm final tomorrow!! Those pancakes look delish!!
