I got a good 8 hours of much needed sleep last night! I have quite the busy day and do not want another day of tiredness.
To jump start my day I had a Green Monster and 1 Oatmeal Banana Pancake leftover from last night.
Plus a cup of DD!
Not the most exciting of breakfast but I am hoping it will hold me over for the next 4 hours!
Today I have work until 5:30pm then kick boxing, then Thursday night group at 7pm and when I get home I am going to pack for my 3 day trip to San Diego! I am so excited because I just found out that one of my BFF’s D, is going to come down on Saturday and hang out with us and then take me to the race on Sunday!!! I was stressing a little about the traffic in SD and didn’t want to have to find parking, what an amazing friend!!!
I sent this list to Meghann, and I thought I would share it with all of you since I know it helped me in the process of packing for Boston.
