Yesterday, I ate bee pollen.
That’s a sentence I never thought I’d type. Those of you who know me are aware that I’m insanely picky eater. Add in the fact that I’m petrified of bees, and you might get an inkling of why it was so weird for me. But, bee pollen is supposed to be some kind of all-natural super-food. Fodder had a friend who was a long-distance runner who swore by it. We’ve both been trying to be better about exercising lately, and you know I’m a sucker for anything with the word ‘super’ in front of it. The truth is, I’ve been battling seasonal allergies for the past two weeks and am willing to do just about anything to feel better at this point, so yeah…we bought a jar of locally collected bee pollen. I’ve started sprinkling a 1/4 teaspoon full into my morning yogurt.
I apologize in advance if I inadvertently start buzzing.
In other news Jamie Fraser and Don Draper are back in my life. I couldn’t be happier. Not that Fodder isn’t enough for me, but… you know. *wink-wink*
Of course, their return takes place in a month when I am already overbooked. I’m doing Camp NaNoWriMo this month, and have set a goal to write 30k words by month’s end. In truth, I hope to find the energy to exceed that. I’d love to complete the first draft of Play Dates within the month. It’s totally do-able. I’m a little over 1/3 in already.
I also started doing a 30-day yoga challenge that I found online. Suckered my friend Lulu into doing it too, so we’re keeping each other on track.
I’m pleased to report that we have yet to drape any article of clothing on the elliptical machine. This is particularly good news, because we parked that bad boy in the living room. I’ve been slowly but surely building up my endurance. I can now go the entire length of a Gilmore Girls episode (@44 mins) without keeling over. Yay, me!
So what’s new with you? Eat anything weird lately? Doing any challenges? Is your exercise equipment wearing your clothes?
I bee-lieve in you, Mags! 😀 You are doing so awesomely with everything. Well done, well done.
You would probably think everything I eat is weird, so I’ll skip that question. I’ve definitely been ramping up my exercise routine as of late too, though. It makes such a difference. I have tons more energy, which is important since I’m training to be the best aunt I can be. Once summer hits, I’m going to camp out at the royals’ house for as long as they’ll have me so I can be Charlie’s playmate.
Happy Monday!
