this may be one of the shortest posts i ever write.
i got to the original pancake house this morning for my usual sales meeting breakfast.. whipped out the canon to photograph my food.. no camera card.
oops. left it in the laptop! so i have no photos of my meals from 7 AM to 9 PM. yes, i’ve been on the go all day long.
i will tell you about my workout!
escalating 9 minute mile routine!
hop on the treadmill. do this. every 9 minutes, you will go one mile. i went three miles. you can go as many as your little heart desires.

this was lovely. just when i thought i was too tired to run any faster, it was time to go back down to 5.0 MPH and recover. then i gradually built back up to 9.0 MPH. really fun, actually. let me know if you try it!
i came home to the most fantastic package!!
holly, the most awesome girl on the planet, mailed me a wedding gift with a CUSTOM card!
check out marshall’s custom puma kicks! and she got our wedding colors (purple & yellow) spot on! haha.. and i love marshall’s spectacles. and the wedding guests. and basically everything about this card.
and on the inside.. a special wedding poem she wrote!
it was the dopest!
she also included something i have been pining for but am too damn cheap to buy..
vanilla bean tera’s whey protein powder!
it was totally intended for the whole family…
thank you from the bottom of my heart, holly!

i have so much stuff to do.
MY WEDDING IS IN TEN FREAKING DAYS.

Qs~
1. quick, pick one! chocolate or vanilla? you can’t pick twist cone. that’s cheating. vanilla para mi.
2. tell me what your most recent workout was! okay. not a question. but it still needs an answer :)

twist cone.
i love how your “short” blogs are like my regular ones!
i reaaaaaaaaaally a reusuable cup with a straw. it’s so hard to drink and drive sometimes. you know what i mean…
i did the stairmaster for 75 minutes today. set it on the “fat burn” so it was heart rate up and down. burned 627 calories and i’m only 105 lbs. imagine how many calories a person of more average (not midget height like me) can do!!
vanilla for me usually. i like the smoooothness.
vanilla.
I did kettlebells at the beach this morning and then went on a walk this afternoon
10 days! dude!
I pick vanilla!! Your vanilla bean protein frosty looks fabulous!!
Chocolate for me! I cannot wait to try your treadmill run Janetha!! I think we are really similar speeds running wise and your settings are always the perfect amount of exertion for me. Yay for short legged girls! Most recent workout = 7km outside this AM. Gorg weather here.
I am Vanilla all the way if that were the only two choices, but if you were to give me more options… it would have to be moose tracks!!
I worked out a bit today, I went to an hour of Zumba and then did an intense class of pilates!! I felt great after, but then had to go home and do boring homework.
GOOD LUCK with the last 10 days of wedding planning!! I am sure that you will have a GREAT day!! :)
Oooh. I’m totally picking one of those cups up for smoothies when we get back to the U.S. in a few weeks!
Hope they still have them!
Chocolate.all.the.way.
Oh my goodness! Your wedding is so soon! You must be getting so excited! And I choose vanilla!
I love the treadmill run! I do mine on a 5 minute round, 5 for a minute, then 6, then, 7, 8, and 9. I only finish the mile in 10 minutes, but it’s the same idea. It’s so much easier for me to push myself if I know that recovery is on the way. I mean, Jillian, says that running in cycles like that is best, so it must be true! ha!
Also, I was wondering where you get your xanthan gum (spelling?). I’ve never heard of it. But I need something to make my smoothies better before my fruit goes bad. I want it to feel more smoothie-ish. And, since I like the protein you suggested, I thought I’d ask about the xanthan.
Good luck with all the wedding planning! I got married around the same time last year. You will feel relieved and ecstatic. Just get through these next few weeks and enjoy the honeymoon!
I can’t believe your wedding is sooooooooooooooo close. I’m so excited for you : ) I just went to my first wedding this past weekend. So much fun! Yours is going to rock.

Vanilla!
I went to the gym yesterday, and because I haven’t gone in a long time it was depressing, but I’m glad I went! There was a lot of “eeeeeergh” and “grunt” noices going on while lifting weight some of the beefcakes there could probably have thrown using their eyelashes, hahaha…
so close so close so close!!!
1. Chocolate everything EXCEPT anything ice cream/froyo related. I hate chocolate ice cream for some reason! Okay hate is a strong word. Can never hate ice cream. I just like vanilla better.
2. 3.97 mile run this evening. Okay, let’s just say 4 miles. There we go.
VANILLA all the way! Especially vanilla ice cream with little vanilla bean speckles in it. Yum!
I still need to try your protein frosty! What’s preventing me from giving it a go? That darn xanthan gum! I need to just bite the bullet and buy it.
Last workout was a 6K treadmill interval workout this morning. :-)
Vanilla! Boy does that frosty look good! I had a great spin session followed by and even better pump class, upped my weights whoop whoop! x x
vanilla!!! OMG YOUR WEDDING!!! its going to be amazing!
Vanilla all the way baby! I hate chocolate. It gives me a headache.
That card is amazing.
What a sweet sweet gift! I want to try that protein and I just love the card to pieces! I’m a vanilla person all the way and I taught Body Attack last night! Ah- 10 days!
chocolate! Tho when it comes to ice cream, I say vanilla – with chunks and swirls. I can’t do it plain!
I like a little of both in my life. The classic twist is my cup of tea but the close contender would be vanilla with tons of rainbow sprinkles!
Have a fantastic week darling! :)
Oh I feel ya. last 10 days are CRAZY! Feel free to vent to me in an email anytime. But those 10 days will fly and then you’ll be HONEYMOONing!! yea!
Okay, where the heck do you get the Terra whey? I want to try it badly!
Okay, I’m going shopping today and I seriously want one of those cups from Old Navy. Must try to make it there before the day is over.
Definitely vanilla, it’s way more versatile. You can just add cocoa powder if you want some chocolate flavor.
I was so tired and lazy getting up out of bed this morning but I did a full body workout and feel great now. :)
Wow…that is a true friend!! Taking the time to make a hand-written card (and the cutest drawing!!!) and then send you something you’ve been pining for – I love it!! It’s great how Bloggie Land really allows for the making of such great friendships! Ok enough corn & cheese…
VANILLA all the way – no hesitation there whatsoever.
My last workout was not long ago – 30 minutes jogging (slogging?) on the treadmill and then 20 on the elliptical. Yesterday’s workout was much more exciting though…3 sets of 9 different exercises with 3 minute cardio intervals thrown in every 3 exercises. I have no idea if that makes any sense…”placenta head” strikes again! :)
I love that reusable plastic cup. I’ve gotta get me one!
Chocolate will always be my first in my book! Mmm Mmm Good!
I did 30 minutes intense elliptical paired with 10 minutes INSANE stair climber.
T:)
Vanilla! Last workout… oh man. Hardcore: Thursday morning. I walked all weekend with the family though, so I’m going to say that counts. :)
‘Nilla! Fo sho.
I finally RAN again! 40 minutes, with only a few walking breaks. It was glorious. :D
xo

AHHH HOLLY IS SO FRICKIN TALENTED. I wish I could draw. I admire artwork instead of making it.
Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! But I have a weakness for anything with vanilla beans. Love those specs.
I did No More Trouble Zones this morning. It was the first time I’ve done Surrenders and they’re killer. Gahhh.
This workout sounds awesome. Seeing it kind of makes me miss running. Gotta back into it. Maybe this week :)
I just put that cup on my to-buy list. I literally was thinking this morning that something like that must exist. Apparently I was right. ;)
9 days left now, right? Awesomeness.
PS – LOVE that card.
It sure is creepin up on ya!! Chocolate is my favorite everything! My workout was random yesterday (battling my stupid back injury) so I ran for 10 minutes and then did some plyos and peaced out.
Oh sweet girl. Breathe. And breathe some more. It will all be okay because it couldn’t not be – you’re on top of this girl!
1. CHOCOLATE
2. Body Pump. I still can’t walk.
1. Chocolate…it’s wierd when I was younger it was vanilla. How things change! Haha!
2. My last workout was my Karate class. I was sweating so hard! It was the first day of Black Belt Training, so the workout was a lot harder than usual. :-)
Chocolate for me! This morning Jacob and I did p90x plyometrics which kicked my butt down! Your run workout sounds like fun.
Ah! I think every blog I’ve read today has eaten a protein Frosty! They’re just so dang good. Nomnomnom. But I’m completely a chocolate person–the darker the better! I can eat cocoa powder by the spoonful, hahah. My most recent workout was a 3 mile run this morning! I’m not worried about speed right now… just want to get the miles under my feet and build up a solid base.
10 days?!?! so exciting!
vanilla ice cream all the way, chocolate everything else!
Last workout was Jillian Michael’s No More Trouble Zone. Crazy bitch!
That happens to me with the memory card all the time. I almost did it before leaving for our vacation! That would have been bad.
My answers – vanilla and kickboxing.
i love you!
i am SO HAPPY you enjoyed it. and i am getting ready to write you an e-mail back. just because we haven’t talked in awhile, i am going to talk to you through e-mail.
(1) CHOCOLATE.
(2) yoga this morning. it was rough, but glorious.
How sweet is Holly?! And I’ve been pining (haha like that word!) for the teras whey for a while too. 10 days…craaazay, girlfriend.
I must pick chocolate. Tis where my heart lies.
My most recent workout was a 4 mile tempo run. Nothin’ special here!
There was a time when I would have said vanilla, but these days I’m a chocolate girl :D
My most recent work out was yesterday morning. Twas a 12 mile bike ride with Brian … 14 mph ave (I’m slooooooooow, but getting faster). We rode down to Newport Back Bay and back. I’m all about the out and back rides bc… well, it makes it seem like the way back is so much shorter. That and having the ocean breeze at our BACKS makes it that much more fun.
AHHHHHHHHHHH ! 10 days!!!!! SO freakin excited for you and Marshall :D
Crap- I would pick twist cone….
okay, chocolate. mmmm delicious chocolate.
My last workout- I taught a cardio kickbox class, then I did a boxing workshop right after it. TIRED.
I’m going to try your 9 minute miles. I’m both scared and excited.
I’m excited for you and Marshall. :)
Holly is obvi one of the coolest people on the planet! What an AWESOME card and gift!!!! Lucky girl!
Vanilla is waaaaay betta than chocolate!
My last workout was pretty lame. Just jogged our usual path with the pup! Not even sure how far it is but Beasley was sure happy :)
10 days Janetha OMG!! Sooo exciting!!!!!
duuuuuuuuuuuuude i am DROOLING over that protein ice cream! if ONLY my damn ice cubes would freeze in this heat it would be easier to make some! bagh!
10 FRIGGN DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10 days!! yehaw that’s awesome. You must be STOKED!
awhhh! gotta love holly. she’s so creative :) any how, what did you think of the powder?? i’ve been wanting to explore the protein powder world, but i’m cutting down to less dependency on it and more on other protein sources. i’ve heard good things about tera’s though!
TEN DAYS?!? get your butt off the computer ;)
This is why I love your blog (& you!!) so much- even without pictures, I still love hearing about your day! & I love the new routine you came up for the treadmill.
That present is so SWEET! It looks like she spent a ton of time on it- so nice!! & her name is pretty awesome too ;)
wowwza that teras whey is SO good! i had the blueberry once and it ROCKED! i mixed it in oatmeal but I bet it would have been 10 times better in a shake form! that is so nice of Holly and I love that card. Marshalls glasses and shoes too cute!
I have done that workout once, its great! i totally agree about you just want to stop at 9.0 but then revert back to the 5.0 to recover its a good one!
woman I am so freakin excited for your wedding!!!!!!
last workout I did was 90X plyometric one and the ab ripper!
love you!
Vanilla :0) And I ran 3.39 hilly miles in 30 minutes!
10 days oh my word, I really have been traveling for too long!! That is soooo exciting!! As soon as I get healthy, that treadmill plan is on my list!
Ah man, that’s happened to me all too often, leaving the camera card.
SO jealous of your reusable straw!
I’m a chocolate girl, all the way.
I went to Old Navy to buy that cup – they’re OUT! Thanks alot for making them popular :( haha they said to call on friday to see if they’re in stock, and you BET I will. Otherwise, if anyone else finds them, pick two up for me and I’ll pay you back!
What you got engaged FIVE months ago?? Wasn’t that.. last week? ;) Oh god, I feel how my skin is getting more and more wrinkled..
1.chocolate all the way
2.some toneitup.com workout which kicked my butt.
What am I doing? Shouldn’t I be working?? Sheeesh..
chocolate! unless it’s protein powder…then I want vanilla so I can play with it more. is that cheating? ;)
love the card. hahaha.
gah! I wish xanthum gum wasn’t so expensive. I’m dying to try it!
