I should be working right now but instead I'm procrastinating...
...Just as I did by going to the gym tonight. My foot is feeling a little wonky these days so I started on the elliptical listening to a little Ke$ha. Gotta love a girl with a dollar symbol in her name. I got bored of her and went digging through my iTunes library for some Jersey Shore episodes...except they got deleted on my last sync. What is a girl to do?
Place:
Equinox - Tribeca
Workout
Apparently, my injured feet and tendons were not up for an hour of plyometrics
Somehow I woke up on my own before 8 am this morning. Not like me at all, especially for a Saturday. I took advantage of it and made some whole wheat flax blueberry pancakes. Yum! There may have been turkey bacon involved. I also resolved to go to one of the classes I usually sleep through at Equinox Tribeca and realized there was a quick ab class beforehand. *Loved* the ab class.

This is what you get for playing Sandstorm at spin tonight!
I just can't help myself when I hear Sandstorm. I checked the mirrors in the spin studio and no one was fist pumping. It would have made the hills go a lot faster. There it is - I am obsessed with local, organic produce and can't get enough "Jersey Shore". A woman of contradictions, indeed.

Whole Foods is a Whole Value? Who would have thought....
I made two exciting discoveries today. One: 21 Jump Street is available on Netflix "Watch It Now". (Johnny Depp before his Tim Burton days. Ahhhhh.)

A challenging home workout and celebrating not overcooking my beautiful dinner by doing lots of situps, pushups and squats
I rushed all day to get home to run before the rain hit and when I finally got home, I had a ton of groceries and dry cleaning waiting for me. I postponed my run and took care of business at home.
Workout
Restorative yoga and a feralicious dinner
Rushed from a work event to Eve's Restorative Yoga class. It was my first time trying the class and it was so relaxing. The music was great (included jazz!) and Eve was really helpful with poses.

Couch to 5K, cabbage, Organic Avenue and contaminated Pringles
I'm back on the Couch to 5K plan. I did Week 2, Day 1 yesterday after work before making my feralicious dinner. I took my run outside and ran along the Hudson River at sunset. Beautiful! It made me SO happy that spring is here (at least until it rains all weekend).
Place:
Hudson River Esplanade
Workout
Lots of catching up on squats, push ups and sit ups
I'm exhausted and I still have to get two loads of laundry out of the dryer. Ah! Went from the office to spin class. My legs still hurt from spin and pilates on Saturday, and they burned on every hill today. After spin, I worked on my feats for 45 minutes. Deciding to do plie squats with a 12 lb. body bar did not help the burning leg situation.

Sweating out tequila and scotch...ahhh...
I haven't had a biiiig night out in months. Friday cured that. I woke up Saturday morning and smelled like scotch...or maybe it was tequila. Both? It was too late to cancel my private session at Real Pilates, so I dragged myself over to the studio after some whole-wheat fruit pancakes. An hour later, I was starting to feel better, but it was a little touch and go.

Love love love Cycle In/Yoga Out
The description doesn't even do this class' awesomeness justice:
Vigorous 45 min spin, with an emphasis on breath work, cadence, and mind-body awareness. Follow with a yoga-based stretch, intended to release hip flexors, hamstrings, chest, and low back. The stretching and meditative yoga segment is an ideal compliment to the high-intensity cycle class.
Great coverage on Bloomberg today!

Congrats on the article! Go Princeton!
Thanks! I've heard about the classes at the Y but didn't know anyone who had tried them. Good luck with your classes. I'll keep you posted!

One of my new favorite blogs had a post about this show recently.
Posted in response to: Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution
Funny - in my mind, Fairway is cheaper than Whole Foods, but it is so far from me that I always wrote it off as an option. I used to live close to the TJ in Union Square but never got into using it because of the ridiculous crowds and the produce that never looked as good as WF.
I'm glad you liked the turkey burgers! I wish I had something new to share but I haven't loved the new meal recipes I've tried recently. I made a chard recipe out of Deborah Madison's "Local Flavors: Cooking and Eating from America's Farmers' Markets" last night that was really disappointing - the cheese and bread crumbs totally overshadowed the chard, which seems to me to defeat the purpose of the cookbook. Just saying. :)
I have a pound of sunchokes from Basis this week that I'm either going to puree or make into a veggie dinner with lentils and artichokes.

I'm not ashamed to say - I love it, too!

This meal looks ridiculously good! Thanks @syrupandhoney!

I went to Julia March Integral Skin Care (just voted best in New York by NY Mag) for a facial, and Julia was a huge proponent of raw milk. Something about lipids in the skin.
Posted in response to: raw milk becoming a trend? FINALLY!
liz - which pool is this? I'm looking for swim intro in NY.

The show was so good!!!! Who else had crawling skin during the chicken nugget scene!?!?!
Posted in response to: Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution
You are quite welcome. I actually don't love making burgers because I feel like they never turn out as well as if I eat them out, but these were fun to make because of the whole feta-stuffing element. They shockingly were really good as a leftover, too.

What have you been doing for the shin splints? Have you been icing at all? Considered buying new shoes? Try taking your run off the treadmill - that may help, too.
Posted in response to: Dumb Shin Splints
@msh258 you have to read Frank Bruni's recent book, Born Round: The Secret History of a Full-time Eater . It is such an honest depiction of disordered eating and one's struggles to be bien dans sa peau.

For you @spindig, the turkey burger recipe.
Posted in response to: Restorative yoga and a feralicious dinner
So far, lots of feral breakfasts. Somehow it seems easiest, especially because I don't really like cereal.
Posted in response to: 2.) Eat Wild
I have four loads sitting on the floor of my closet right now. Plans tonight for spin class and then laundry with situps/pushups/dips/etc. at my building's downstairs gym between loads or I have NO clothes for work or the gym in the next few days.
Posted in response to: naked gym?
I'm impressed! My plan was to wake up and run, although I was deterred after the Oscars ran until midnight.

Great post!

Achilles sounds awesome. Do you volunteer through NY Cares?

I'm assuming pilates machines...which run based on your own power...are ok?
Posted in response to: 4.) Cardio, Unplugged
Great description, thanks!
Posted in response to: Core CARDIO - a whole NEW world of hurt!
@michlny They only deliver to individuals in Manhattan below 59th Street but they do have a ton of pick-up locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn. If you can get a group together, you can also create a new drop-off location. There is a 4-week commitment, but I think that is fair. As someone with a really irregular schedule, I like knowing that something is arriving without having to work my schedule around the farmer's market.
Posted in response to: Basis Foods - you brought fresh California citrus to me in icy cold New York - I love you!
