I love this month. Yes, it’s probably because it’s my birthday month (April 27, baby!), but I also feel like April is when the weather starts really changing for the better and the sun starts shining a little brighter (in between the “April showers” of course).
What are you most looking forward to in April?
This month I have a bunch of exciting things to look forward to:
- 5K Doggie Race with Sadie on Saturday
- Easter
- My sister’s sorority’s mother/daughter/sister weekend
- Meeting the designer of my wedding dress
- My 25th birthday!!!
It should be a good month!
Breakfast
Today’s breakfast was a chocolatey delight: Brownie batter hot cereal! Ahhhhhh!
Get in Mah Belly!
I combined Flax-Z-Snax chocolate cream hot cereal with a scoop of All the Whey chocolate peanut butter cup protein powder, a tablespoon of cocoa powder and some water and microwaved it until it was hot and super thick!
Flax-Z-Snax
Coo-coo for Cocoa
Thiiiick Brownie Batter Hot Cereal
I enjoyed my hot cereal with a tumbler full of my gym’s free coffee in Barnie’s cinnamon butter cookie flavor (the best flavor everrrr).
Thursday's Breakfast
It was a great breakfast after a sch-weaty workout.
Workout
My workout today was pretty random. I felt like running, but decided against it since Sadie and I are running in a doggie 5k together on Saturday. I wanted to give my legs a good rest because I feel like I run better in races when I haven’t run several days prior to race day.
My run-less cardio workout looked like this:
- 10 min. stair master
- 10 min. adaptive motion trainer
- 5 min. stair master
- 25 min. elliptical
Can you tell I was easily bored today?
April Fools’ Day
Happy April Fools Day!
Are you playing any good jokes today? Have you ever had a good joke played on you?
One year when my sister was pretty young, my mom and I convinced her to come running down the stairs because we told her that our cat (who was a boy) had kittens. 🙂 Poor Leslie was pretty disappointed to see that no baby kitties could be found.
Two years ago my mom really got me. I had NO idea it was April Fools’ Day, and when I got to work I had a really long email from her saying that she and my dad were adopting a young boy because they were so sad that both my sister and I were out of the house (it was my sister’s first year away at college). I was shocked and even told my boss that I couldn’t believe I was getting a brother. It was then that I realized what day it was and felt like one stoooopid lil’ blonde. 🙂

I wish my gym had free, YUMMY coffee instead of stale disgusting coffee. I wish I could come up with a good joke for the hubby.
Hooray for a fellow April birthday! My 22nd birthday is on April 6th 🙂
HOORAY for April birthdays!!!
Ha! Your mom has a good sense of humor!
I love April as well, as long as it isn’t rainy!!! Today here is beatiful (in the 80’s) that is great for IA!
Thanks for cheering me on 😉
It’s really nice here today also! Boomer and I just got back from a walk in the park. She said to tell Sadie woof.
hahahha – sadie says “woof” back… and sends some sloppy doggie kisses your way too. 😉
The adoption joke is really funny! I had a good one played on me a few years ago, I was driving on the highway and a group of guys kept pointing at my tire. Thinking it was flat I pull over and go to look at it, they drive by yelling April Fools.
Haha adopting a son b/c you and your sister are away at college! Your mom rocks 🙂
My birthday is in April too! April 11th 🙂 My sister’s is April 28th.
LOVE April!
Hahaha that’s a great one by your parents. I love April too, because it really is the start of spring/summer season in the Northeast.
Yayy for April!! I am SO ready for Spring and all the warm weather and sunshine (amidst the “April showers”) that comes along with it!
I can’t remember any good April Fools jokes played on me, but I will definitely be on the lookout for them today. That’s hilarious about your mom convincing you that she was going to adopt a baby boy! haha I can only image how shocked you must have been!!
