Today is all about Taylor Swift and her music, but first let’s look back at yesterday’s Heated Rivalry day.

First off, I should have probably called it nap day, instead of Heated Rivalry day, because I was so tired all day and kept dozing off during the first 2 episodes. I managed to stay awake for the last 4 though!

I picked a few other activities inspired by the show to do today as well. I did a virtual tour of the Georgia Aquarium and checked out the live cams at the Monterrey Aquarium and a few others (mostly otters, seal lions & penguins). I also did a little personal dance party after the club scene in episode 4, and a mini yoga routine inspired by Shane’s cottage video.

The rest of the day was spent reading Tough Guy, the 3rd book in the Game Changers series. I was hoping to finish it today, but didn’t quite get that far. I should finish it this month though.

The highlight of my day (aside from receiving some packages from Amazon that I suspect are birthday gifts- thank you!) was my themed menu.

I started the day with a Berry Smoothie and a banana, then followed it up with a pasta salad for lunch (Sorry Kip, mine had feta, and no chicken). While I thought about pasta for dinner (for Ilya), I went with hamburgers since I had pasta salad for lunch (and pasta for dinner last night).

There was a 2 hour break where I was not focused on Heated Rivalry, but I had to watch American Ninja Warrior.
