A day in the life...

Just a typical Wednesday in the Cupcake household.

5:45am- Crickets blare through the phone. Groggily get out of bed and get dressed to tackle today's marathon training workout.
6:15am- Decked out in sexshay compression shorts, Half Fanatics tank, RoadID, HRM and Garmin, strike off for the morning run.
7:30am- Return home from 5mi at goal marathon pace, soaked through EVERYTHING. Decide that sweat in fact soaked through skin and came out the other side of every limb. Grumble to Mr. Cupcake about chafing in highly unfortunate areas on my person.
7:45am- Create the World's Tastiest Lassi (judged only by yours truly, but hey it counts) made of Fage greek yogurt, lite coconut milk, pureed watermelon and white nectarine, and lime zest. Consume smugly as crosswords across the webiverse are conquered.
8:30am- Post-crosswords and cleansing, go to work. Defeat the forces of evil. Well, just a protein gel today. It's a small step towards world domination.
4:30pm- Arrive back at home, swap glasses for safety goggles and  jeans for shorts, and head up the stepladder, brad nailer in hand. It's about time the cedar planks went up in the master closet.
5:30pm- After much futzing with the new air compressor and aesthetics of the cedar planks, consider declaring victory on the closet.
5:45pm- Core workout with a feline audience. She could stand to do some of these Russian twists and heels-to-heaven pulseups herself.
6:00pm- Pans on, olive oil in, oven preheated, make dinner- turkey cutlets with salt-free seasoning, accompanied by pan-roasted brussel sprouts with caramelized shallots and sweet potatoes.
6:30pm- Consume dinner. Kiss Mr. Cupcake on the cheek for his professional pan roasting, while gleefully consuming the extra sprouts. Because hey, I'm doing his INR a favor. Extra glee. Contemplate what dessert to make this weekend for Free-for-all day. Tiramisu is a front-runner.
8:00pm- Viciously cheat on self-imposed marathon training diet with a mint chip Klondike bar. Explain to the left hemisphere of the brain that a 400 calories deficit for the day simply will. not. do. Enjoy the hell out of it.
9:15pm- After two episodes of the F word, head to bed. Watch as much more TV as being conscious can tolerate, and then drift off to sleep.


Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
