I DID stay up until midnight - however by 11:00 I had grabbed my tablet and went to bed to read for an hour. There is something deliciously decadent about reading in bed for some reason - though my neck won't allow me to do it often. My only indulgence for the evening was one mug of hot buttered rum, and I toasted a small amount of coconut flakes to mix into a tablespoon of my favorite trail mix from Whole Foods. Very dense in calories and quite yummy. This morning I rose shortly after 8 which was a bit shocking for me - I NEVER sleep that late, but then again, I only slept for 8 hours.

I am still off work until Monday, but as I've early morning things the next three days, it is time to remember how to set my two alarm clocks. Yes, two - I love the snooze button a little too much

After I watch the parade today I am planning on a kettlebell swing workout at home after doing a mobility session. I COULD go to the gym, but I will be there tomorrow. I want to play with my own herd today.
