Yesterday I wore my second new shirt from the bf to the gym. This one is a short sleeve Under Armour Heat Gear top, and I loved it.
The stripes are my favorite part. Normally I’m not a fan of running in things with short sleeves because I feel like my arms are weighed down, but these didn’t bother me at all. I also am not a fan of tight fitting shirts sometimes because they ride up, and cause some belly exposure, but this one stayed put. The bf is two for two in workout tops so far. Only one left to test.
I ran on the treadmill at the gym again, because even though the temperature was significantly cooler (like 79 degrees instead of 99) it was thunderstorming off and on all day and I didn’t want to risk it.
- 4 miles
- 37:30
- 9:22ish pace
I walked for the first three minutes, so the pace was probably a little faster than that. I know I ran mile 4 at about an 8:30 pace, all miles at a .5 incline. Lately my Glee soundtracks were my running music of choice, but I’m getting somewhat tired of it (gasp the horror, I know!) so I rocked out to some Britney Spears during yesterdays run. Her Circus album really is fantastic workout music, and my 4 miles were up in no time. I’ll probably listen to that at the gym again today.
My sister was working last night and my mom took a late gym class, so I was on my own for dinner. I took one boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut it in half, and covered it with mashed up Fiber One cereal and Cayenne Pepper. Then I cooked it in my toaster oven, yup the oven is still broken, at 400 degrees for like 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. I also made a Lean Cuisine Ravioli dinner to accompany my chicken.
Ravioli and Chicken Tenders
I knew the ravioli alone wasn’t enough food, and the addition of the chicken helped to keep me full. After dinner I fully indulged my inner teen, and caught up on some ABC Family shows. Make it or Break it and Pretty Little Liars. Does anyone else watch Make it or Break it? After all the bad things Lauren has done to all of them, how can they possibly think she is sincere about anything? It blows my mind, really. Pretty Little Liars I just watch and wonder how they do their hair most of the time. I want to learn.
Anyway, TGIT people. I’m off to Bethany Beach, DE tomorrow after work to celebrate my birthday. One of my BFF’s has a house there, and then on Saturday we are spending the whole day at Seacrets. If you’ve never been or heard of it, it’s pretty much the island of Jamaica set up in the Bay in Ocean City, MD. It’s fantastic and I cannot wait.
Seacrets OCMD
Hopefully I’ll be lounging on one of those rafts all day long. Enjoy your Thursday everyone, only one more day to get through before the weekend! And only three more days until my birthday!

yay! I don’t like short sleeves usually either — I tend to chaff under my arms. Sucko. But maybe I’ll have to give that one a try!
Have fun — happy birthday! Mine is in 3 weeks!
Yeah, chaffing blows. Thank you I will!
Love the top! I always get so excited to try out new workout clothes. Clearly I lead a very exciting life!
Yeah most exciting part of my day yesterday
Your bf has style. Nice work.
And I think I may have to pull out some old-school Britney one of these days! I’m pretty sure “Stronger” would still pump me up like it did when I was 15! ha ha
Ooh Stronger is a good one. I might go old school brit today.
Oh and enjoy your weekend! Have a FANTASTIC birthday- us July bdays gotta stick together!
Yay for July birthdays!
I used to go to Ocean City every summer when I was a kid!
Enjoy your bday weekend…that looks like a total blast!! Happy 25…here’s to good things to come!

WOOO ALMOST AARP TIME KELLY!
Joking.
Have fun in Delaware! That place looks ridiculous, in a totally fabulous way.
Hilarious, i’m cracking up over here. Jerk.
Oh it is, we went last year. I might not come home alive.
Cute shirt! I really like short sleeved shirts actually, especially in the spring/fall.
Have fun on your trip! That looks so fun!
Yeah that’s true they are good for cooler temps.
Oooh, have fun at the beach and happy early birthday!
Thank you!
i dont eat chicken but those suckers look awesome. so funny that you feel that your arms get weighed down by short sleeves.
Haha yeah I’m weird, I dunno they just feel restricted.
Britney rocks when running. I have her Slave and I love rock n roll on my workout playlist. Clearly good quality music is not my priority when working out but upbeat and fun is a must!
Oh I love Slave and I love rock and roll! Two of her best songs by far.
That looks like so much fun! And SUPER cute shirt!
That chicken looks so good! I’ve always wanted to try coating it in the fiber one crumbs. I have made jalapeno poppers with them as well as mozzarella sticks and they both turned out quite yummy.
Love the shirt!! Very cute!!
Oooh I bet mozzarella sticks would be good, I’ll have to try that!
