Good morning!

I hope your Saturday is off to a good start! My day started bright and early at 6:00 am so that I could get to work at 7:00 for a 13 hour shift! The pool is having a swim meet today so we are all here extra early.

Some of the guards are swimming in the meet, but I would embarrass myself if I did, so I’m just cheering. Breakfast

Since I knew today would be long, I made a filling breakfast to help power me through the first few hours of my shift. The bowl had oat bran, made with water and cooked for a minute in the microwave. It literally turns to sticky paste, but with extra almond milk it’s really good. I topped it with blueberries, strawberry and apricot. After the photos, I added a scoop of peanut butter and strawberry jam for sweetness. Also a HUGE mug of espresso and almond milk to keep me going.
Since I’ll be here for the majority of the day, I also brought an arsenal of food. I’m usually exceptionally hungry during my seven hour shifts, so I came prepared.

Snacks and Mini MealsCherry Chobani Greek yogurt with honey nut Cheerios and a few pumpernickel pretzels. Weird combination, but it works!Greek salad in a cup: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sheep’s milk feta cheese, olives and bulgur wheat salad. Thank you, mom A flat-out wrap with a The Laughing Cow cheese wedge, sliced tomato, fresh basil, salt & pepper.
Workout
I’m watching a lot of working out happening, but I won’t be doing my own until later. I’m planning a 45 minute swim and then biking 4 miles home. Great workouts to do in this awesome weather!Enjoy your weekend
P.s between my breaks and being on stand, this post has officially taken me nine hours to write. Is that a record?
