Morning. I woke up this morning feeling tired and stressed. When Adam realized I was stressed almost to the point of tears this morning he looked and me and said, “Go for a run, don’t worry about anything else right now. Just get in a workout.” This man knows me too well
I got on workout clothes, packed lunch, breakfast and work clothes and headed to the gym at work for a run. Before leaving the house, I had a kashi dark mocha almond bar.
I had a fantastic 7 mile run in 1:04:33. It felt great. I actually ran to my ipod with the TV off, it gave me time to plan my day and figure out how to tackle everything on my to-do list. I felt 100% better after my run! Sometimes (not often) Adam is right! I hoped in the shower and went to get dressed when I realized in my stressed out state, I forgot to pack underwear and a bra! Ugh! How did I forgot to pack that?! Luckily, I work right by a Marshall’s and I was there waiting for them to open at 9am, I ran in and bought underwear and a bra. I am laughing now, but at the time- not so funny!
Breakfast was 1 container of chobani vanilla, a few spoonfuls of pumpkin and 1 cup of kashi Go Lean. I grabbed a coffee on the way back from Marshall’s grande bold, with two pumps of vanilla syrup and half and half.
Dark wash jeans (GAP), Yellow flats (Forever 21), White t-shirt (Target), Black wrap cardigan (Forever 21).

Ask Me Anything Questions:
Q: You’ve inspired me to try a Body Pump class and I finally found a gym around here that has them. I’m nervous though! Last time I took a gym class everyone knew all the moves and I practically got trampled doing the grapevine. Is Body Pump a hard class to get started with for newbies? Thanks for the blog!
A: Body Pump is great for newbies!!! Everyone is a newbie at one time, right?! The instructors are awesome at catering to new people. It is super easy to get the hang of too. Try it out, you will be in love !
Q: How many people visit your blog every day?
A: More than I thought would! HA! It varies day to day, and is much higher on the weekdays than on the weekends. Readership has been steadily increasing (yay!). I don’t want to give and exact number because I don’t want to jinx myself (I am superstitious) but it is well into the thousands at this point
I am accepting “Ask Me Anything” Questions until Next Friday, March 5th, so hurry up and get them in. To submit an question, click here.

I’m sorry, I know it’s not funny, but I am laughing. Glad it all turned out ok though.

At the time I was so annoyed! Now that I have underwear on, it is funny!
Ali I am dying laughing….haha no bra or underwear!!
Love your sweater Ali!
Your fiance is a smart man!!! And while your bra/underwear fiasco gave me a chuckle, I’m sure it wasn’t funny while you were standing outside Marshall’s!
Have a great rest of the day
Umm totally happened to me, but slightly different. Packed to go to the gym, worked out, swam, showered up and went to get changed and realized my dog who love, love, loves to get into my laundry basket, had eaten half of a pair of my panties (didnt notice because I scrunch up my clean undies and toss them into a drawer.) I was left with crotch less panties and yes, no bra either! Thank god Target is just around the corner. By boss really enjoyed the story though when I called and explained that I was going to be a few minutes late.. Haha
Happens to the best of us! Have a good weekend : )
hahahhaa OMG Ali I’m laughing my ass off because I always forget a bra too!!!! The worst though is when I forget a towel AFTER I get out of the shower at the gym. Then I need to get creative. Hope you enjoy the new undies!
