First, put the Cheddar Harvest SunChips down.

True, they’re decent for chips in that they’ve got whole grains and 30% less fat than regular potato chips – but still, no. Vanilla flavored coffee and cheddar SunChips at 7am, or really anytime for that matter, is not a good look.

Chug some water and suit up.

Run, rog, jog, jalk or walk (I prefer a jog, myself) 4 miles on the nearest trail, treadmill or sidewalk.

Rehydrate, then get some fun music playing. Recently I’ve been obsessed with my Beatles Pandora Station – Beatles, Beach Boys & Billy Joel, oh my!

Whatever it is, you’ll need it as musical motivation to get through the following total body circuit:

• 15 jumping jacks
• 30 push ups
• 30 tricep dips
• 50 squats
• 40 crunches

REPEAT!

• 15 jumping jacks
• 30 push ups
• 30 tricep dips
• 50 squats
• 40 crunches

AND ONCE MORE!

• 15 jumping jacks
• 30 push ups
• 30 tricep dips
• 50 squats
• 40 crunches

Dust yourself off, take a cold shower, then vow to never let leftover tailgating goodies remain within the walls of your home past the post-game handshake.

In other news, Ben surprised me by planning a date night for the two of us tonight, starting with dinner out! I’m blushing! Now to figure out what to wear. This is an awkward, transitional wardrobe month. It still hot during the day, but gets freezing cold the minute the sun dips behind the horizon. Plus I just hate everything in my closet right now. You know how it goes.

Talk to you tomorrow!

If you could’ve grown up in a different era, when would it have been?

I think the late 60′s and 70′s were awesome for the music and fashion (or lack thereof?) The sock hop, poodle skirt and saddle shoe era of the 1950s really interest me too!
