5 things.
Numero Uno:
On my way to work this morning, with my pink I-Pod shuffle blasting, “Whatever You Like” by Anya Marina, I was suddenly struck, very hard, on my right thigh. I heard a loud boom over the lyric, “Hundred K deposits, vacations hit the tropics. Cause errbody know it ain’t trickin if ya got it” and saw a few hotel “doormen” staring at me.
I look down, confused and shocked/cold and see that a giant wooden plank (that was originally in the street covering a pot hole) got swept up after a truck drove over it and it flew across and hit me in the thigh. I kid you not. My upper leg was red all day and I wobbled when I walked. True Story. I almost died.
legit the size of the plank. Um, only me.
Numero Dos:
Chicago had a giant blizzard today and I decide to wear a dress. True story. I slipped at least 10 times on my walk home.
(Location where a wooden plank accosted me. Oh and the blizzard.)
Numero Tres:
I ate a vegetarian bean burrito and some cole slaw for dinner. It cost me 6 dollars and tasted like a Taco Bell bean burrito. Greatest discovery ever. True story.
Sriacha and goey insides. Nom Nom.
Numero Cuatro:
I am the only person in the world to buy blueberry cheesecake and egg nog frozen yogurt when the weather is 27 degrees (30 mph winds) and snowing. Of course I got it with rainbow sprinkles and carried it home wearing my dress. I received many looks. But I did not care because my day was already completely ridiculous, and “I Can Have Whatever I Like.” True story.
Numero Cinco:
The Top Chef contestant that I want to win is so hott. I happily put off my workout until post-Chef so I could watch a full hour of his hotness. Did anyone see that tattoo popping out his chest? I did.
(And he opens wine. Love.)
Short post because my other eats today were oatmeal, leftover pizza, a fiber bar, a fig bar and lots of peanut butter. I am sure no one wants to see 3 servings of oatmeal and 4 servings of PB in a day. I need more fruits and veggies obvi. Working on this one.
P.S. I am working on a workouts page for running, walking, and 15 minute weight circuits!
Tonight, I did a great 36 minute walking workout tonight. Try it!
5 minutes — 4.0 mph 10%-12% incline
5 minutes 4.3 mph 8% incline
5 minutes 4.5 minutes 5% incline
repeat
cooldown 5 minutes 4.0, 4.3 and 4.5 mph at 8 % incline
total time 35 minutes.
Kisses. Hugs. and Winks,
Lo
and this is why I should never go out in public alone.
but this is why you should click here for SOUP!

You're too funny! I was kidding. I'm sure it would've spoiled for me eventually.
1. I haven't stopped by in awhile (sorry) but I LOVE the new look of your blog. Fabulous. 2. OMG, I cannot believe that plank hit you in the leg! Thank god it didn't hit you any higher. That's craziness!
Very crazy day! I am with you on eating fro-yo in the freezing weather. I need it at all times!
I commented a while ago about the font being hard to read, and I just wanted to say the new color/style makes it much easier. Thank you!
HOOORY for KOMBUCHA!New music, fitness and food – http://katiechangesforkatie.blogspot.com/
damn girl, crazy day…flyin' wood planks and all-eesh! I give you props for rockin' a dress AND eatin froyo in the blizzard. Only a bad ass could do that!! And that Top Cheftesant is muy caliente..by far the hottest of the two Voltaggio brothers!!!
Funny post! Although my heart goes out to you in that cold weather! Eek!!!Cheers,Kristen
oh man, that storm was brutal!! Today is even worse! ( I live like 45 minutes north of chicago) stay warm (:
Ouch, sorry about the plank assault! I love that you ate froyo in a blizzard tho
Hahaha onlyyy you girl! I'm definitely trying the walking workout for a change.. my knees have been bothering me on runs alot lately
Veryyy frustrating! Hope your leg is ok from the wayward plank! haha
You seriously got hit by a plank? Now that does not happen every day. At least you got a good story out of it?That and getting plenty of looks for having freezing froyo on a freezing day.. in a dress!
All eat frozen yogurt anytime, I need to check Yogurt Story too see if they have Nog flavor.
burrito looks great!that fro yo combo sounds interesting!jenna
Haha what a day! I am going to watch the top chef finale tomorrow night
Don't tell me who wins!
love this post girl, and I would totally get that froyo even when its cold out, I crave it and those flavors?!?! Ummm I would trudge throuhgh snow with it! I hope your leg is doing better, stay warmmmmhappy friday!
All I have to say is: love the board pic. Gotta appreciate the randomness that makes up internet photos, I mean-when you think about it, how silly is it that one can type "wooden board" into google image search and result in like bazillions of photos perfectly suited for histerical Lo' blog stories such as this. Priceless.MAlilpauladean.wordpress.com
OMG that is crazy about the board flying into your leg – sucks! But, yeah for awesome food finds to make it all better. YUM!Thanks for the soup contest shoutout – good luck!
hahahhah I too got egg nog and blueberry cheesecake froyo on the rando snow day….my dear, you aren't the only one and thank god, I feel a wee bit more normal. haha
