Unfortunately Ryan forgot to change the alarm time from 6:30 a.m., which is what if was set for on Friday, to 5:30 a.m. this morning. Around 6:15 a.m., I heard an “Uh oh…” from his side of the bed when he realized his mistake.
Though I was a little disappointed about missing my typical 5:45 a.m. BodyPump class, I still figured I could get in a decent workout on my own. We arrived at the gym 45 minutes later than usual, but hey – better late than never, right?
My morning workout looked like this:
(Once again, the weight noted is the total weight used. Ex: I used two 15 lb. dumbbells for chest press, totaling 30 lbs.)
I alternated the exercises in groups of two (super-sets), up until leg extensions. (Ex: I did one set of step ups, then one set of shoulder raises before repeating the sequence two times to complete the exercises).
Post-Work out Walk
After the gym, Ryan joined me and Sadie on our morning walk.
It was such a treat to have some extra time with him in the morning.
I think Sadie was more than thrilled to have the extra company as well.
Breakfast
Breakfast this morning was a good one!
I started with a yogurt bowl that included fresh blackberries and blueberries.
I topped the mix with Gerber Graduates strawberry apple puffs. Yes, it’s baby cereal, and yes, it’s delicious. 🙂
I also enjoyed a homemade chocolate chip muffin that I made last night.
When I went to my friend Laurel’s apartment to hang out yesterday, our friend Merri brought over a ton of food from her pantry since she and her boyfriend are in the process of moving, and I nabbed the muffin mix!
When I made the muffins, I added a bunch of white chocolate chips to the mix for some additional chocolate flava.
And I should probably add that a peanut butter finger was also enjoyed this morning. 😉
Pretty darn tasty!
Jessica @ How Sweet says

Kelly says
Oooh I hate when I forget to change my alarm after a weekend.
Courtney @ Three Months says
I like the idea of adding white chocolate chips to muffins – I bet they were tasty! 🙂

Get ya some! Love the workout. I try the banana puffs this weekend, my friend’s baby had them everywhere:) I would totally pick that cereal up next time. The banana was awesome.
Courtney says
Mmmmm, LOVE muffins!

I love body pump! That’s great you got in a good workout on your own though. Also, what kind of dog is Sadie? She sort of looks like my friend’s Viszla. She’s adorable!
peanutbutterfingers says
she’s a vizsla! 🙂
Marina says
I wish I could sleep in like you did this morning, but for me, 6 am is too late. Silly body waking up on its own 😀
yummy looking muffins, I never had one with white chocolate!
peanutbutterfingers says
white chocolate = fantastic! i highly recommend it! i wanna add coconut next time.
*Andrea* says
omg the muffins look delicious. love the pb finger shot..so cute
Meg says
This is going to sound SO odd, but I love baby food, not just the cereal, but the jarred stuff. I could eat it all day. Everyday. Haha 🙂
Love the addition of white chocolate chips – that makes it super chocolately, and even better.
I think you made the best out of your morning no matter how late you may have woken up 🙂
Enjoy your Monday!!

Lauren says
What time do both of you have to be at work?
peanutbutterfingers says
ryan is usually at work around 7:15 a.m., but he got in late today. i arrive at work between 8 and 9 a.m. today i got in around 8:40 a.m.
Lauren says
Worst feeling in the world when you realize you overslept your alarm! At least you could still get in a good workout.
Happy Monday!
Miranda @ Mirandasjeans says
lol The baby cereal is too funny. I do’t think I’ve ever tried that stuff. I have however tried baby Um-Um’s and they were terrible hahaha!
adifey says
Haha. Love the optimism about waking up late, also love the blog. And I have to ask, where did you first try the baby cereal??? too cute!
peanutbutterfingers says
a kid i used to babysit for would always eat it & i would always sneak bites. it’s so good!
Merri says
Glad to see you are making use of all the food I gave you… I knew you were the right person for the job of taking it off my hands! When I move in with Lou next week we need ot have more visits from you…(or maybe we can come to you since Laurel doesnt have cable, and I want to watch SYTYCD!)
peanutbutterfingers says
good news! she actually got cable now! i also used your tuna in my lunch today. 🙂 and the coconut was devoured last night. 😉
Amber K says
I totally thought that was baby cereal! I thought “Huh, looks like what I was feeding my nephew this afternoon!” With the peach version, as he is allergic to strawberries.
LG says
Hi! Wanted to let you know that I pulled off this workout and did it at the gym last night. It was TERRIFIC/sore-muscle making! Thanks very much for posting it on your workouts page!
cream to remove skin tags says
Surely our scientists know more about chemistry that nature does, so surely they should
be able to come up with some far better for our skin
than any of these natural oils and butters you read about.
The term natural means only pure ingredients are used directly from nature as opposed to
synthetic ingredients and organic products simply means that the molecule comprises of carbon and natural skin care products have no boundaries with
regards to organic or natural products. Limejuice can also be a helpful skin aid.
