Last night Ryan and I stayed up entirely too late, chatting away in bed before finally drifting off to sleep. (Totally worth the lack of sleep! I love late night conversations.)
I didn’t join Ryan in bed until close to 10:45 p.m. (that’s late for us old fogies) because I was busing participating in my first blogging-related webinar about rising above negativity.

Thanks so much to those of you who participated and attended the webinar via phone last night. Though I sounded like a complete goober, we had a great time! The Q&A portion of the night was by far my favorite part, so thanks so much for keeping the webinar interactive and interesting.
While we had some technical difficulties, I believe the webinar (at least the first half of it and the slides) will be uploaded to the FitBlogChats website soon. A big shout out goes to Katy for organizing the webinar and being an all around awesome person.
Workout
This morning’s workout wasn’t too bad considering our lack of sleep.
Ryan and I began with 20 minutes on the elliptical before splitting up to do our own thang.
I did an upper-body workout that included three sets of 15 repetitions of the following exercises:
- Superset One: Tricep dips, Upright rows
- Superset Two: Chest press, Tricep extensions
- Superset Three: Incline bicep curls, Side shoulder raises
- Tricep pushdowns
- Ryan’s awesome shoulder move
- Bicep curls (one set of 3 min. non-stop curls)
- Ab work on exercise ball
I also spent some time stretching and foam rolling my legs which felt amazing. Hopefully they’ll be nice and loose and ready to run in tomorrow’s race!
Breakfast
Nice and savory!
Scrambled eggs made with milk and cheese, served with a muenster cheese-topped sandwich thin and Greek yogurt that I sweetened with a squirt of honey.
Not a bad way to start the day!
No Newlyweds Reunion
I tweeted about this two days ago when I first heard the news, but according to InTouch magazine, Jessica Simpson is pregnant.
I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been holding out for a Newlyweds reunion ever since she and Nick Lachey split up.
I absolutely loved (love?) that show and own every single season on DVD. I thought they were the most adorable little duo. I guess it’s finally time to let go and move on.
At least I can still hold out hope for these two crazy kids to reunite…
I think all Britney needs is a little Justin lovin’ to get her back on track.
Question of the Morning
- Is there a former celebrity couple out there that you think should get back together?
- What celebrity couple do you think seems to have an admirable relationship?
Clearly I’d love Jessica and Nick to get back together. As for a current couples that I think have a solid union, I’d have to say Beyoncé and JayZ, Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith and Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi.

You give me muenster cheese envy every time you have it! I use to down that stuff by the slice when I was younger. I need to buy it again!
I was a big fan of Emily VanCamp and Dave Annable and Keri Russel and Scott Speedman. I would be happy to see either of them back together!
I love Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth because I feel like they’re just SO normal and I think that’s WHY they work! I hope they stay together!
I think it’s funny how Beyonce hates the smell of JayZ now that her eggo is preggo hahaha 🙂 Poor JayZ.They are definitely a great Hollywood couple though.
Oh, I’m totally still holding out hope for Britney and Justin. And hopefully when they finally walk down the aisle, they’ll be wearing that matching denim outfit.
I definitely used to be with you on the Nick + Jessica train. I probably still am, except I watched his wedding Vanessa M. and it was really cute. So other than them..i’m not sure. Newlyweds is still an awesome show to watch. It cracks me up laughing. Thanks again for the webinar last night. It was great!
I would LOVE Britney and Justin to get back together!!! I did not like JT with Cameron and especially NOT with Jessice Biel.
I would agree… I think that Beyonce and JayZ have a good relationship. Of course, they aren’t busy out and about trying to bring attention to their relationship etc.
haha if only if only!! ohhhh britney and justin…… that’s great for jessica!
I like your workout idea for Friday<—looks like the perfect mix!
I too love falling asleep to talking to my husband—we have great chats late at night!
And yes, Beyonce and JayZ are a great couple!
I love JayZ and Beyonce, as well as Zooey Deschanel +Ben Gibbard (lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie) and Reese Witherspoon (she’s adorable!) +Jim Toth, mostly bc he is an alum of my college (LMU, holler!). 🙂
JayZ and Beyonce for sure 🙂
I love love love Guiliana & Bill Rancic. Can’t get enough of their reality show on Style. Best couple ever and he is such a cutie!!
I have high hopes for Brad & Jennifer (dont you live how I refer to them like we’re buddies ha)! Until that works out, I am going to stick with Jay-Z & Beyonce- I was so excited when I heard she was preggers- such a sweet couple!
The webinar yesterday was great! I really enjoyed hearing all of my favorite bloggers live.
My favorite celebrity couples are definitely Bill and Guiliana Rancic and Jennifer Garner and Ben Afflek. I love how they all seem so loving to their partners and how J&B are raising their children.
Brad and Jen! I’d love for them to get back together, and I’ve always been Team Jen all the way 🙂
Brit and Justin would be so awesome, but I don’t think it’ll ever actually happen. I wouldn’t be surprised if JT puts a ring on Jessica Biel’s finger in the future.
Anddd I also think Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams were adorable together. BUT, Ryan Gosling is my ultimate guy crush, and Emma Stone is my girl crush, and they were amazing in Crazy, Stupid, Love together. Plus they’re making another movie together right now. So i would be happy if they got together (unless Ryan wants to get with me, then all bets are off) 😉
I’ve said this before, but …Nick and Jessica 4-EVER!
Oh my goodness, I’m still not over Nick and Jessica ‘s break up either! I love Newlyweds. So sad…haha.
I’d say John Krasinski and Emily Blunt have a pretty solid relationship too.
I absolutely adored Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe, but her new hubby went to my university so I guess he is a good catch 🙂 As for current couples that seem to have a strong relationship, I would have to say my favorite is Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. Their little family is too cute!
I am glad others broke the news about Will and Jada. I didn’t want to have to be the one to do it.
Brad and Jen. He made better movies when they were together. I like Tim and Faith as a good couple. And isn’t Michelle Pfeiffer married to David Kelly, the TV producer. Jane Lynch and her wife have been together forever.
The Kidless Kronicles
It is so funny that you brought up Newlyweds today – I own the series and started re-watching this week!! I loved Nick and Jess as a couple and laugh so hard whenever I watch Newlyweds!!
They are still my number one couple I want to see back together 🙂
I love Newlyweds! I have every season on DVD too and often re-watch them and pretend they are still together.
I keep hoping that justin and britney get back together too! 🙁 Maybe some day! She was a downward spiral ever since they broke up.
Or I secretly hope he’ll date me 😉 but I had the pleasure of being 8 feet away from him and hes pretty short… sad day :/
Ahhh I loved Jessica and Nick, too! I was so sad when they broke up! PS–I own every Newlyweds DVD as well 😉
Oh MAN! I feel for you. I miss that series!!! That IS sad. Nick & Jess would’ve had beautiful babies. I was also super sad about Brad & Jen. Although I’m firmly in Team Jennifer Camp!
As for existing couples, I love Khloe Kardashian & Lamar and William & Kate!
I love Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra Lee Furness. They met on their first set (she was an actress in Australia) and have stayed together through fertility issues and his rise to super stardom. I truly hope they stay together.
I also like Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck & Matt Damon and his wife (former waitress).
As for ones I wish would reunite? I always hoped Brad would go back to Jen and David Arquette and Courtney Cox would work out their issues. They seemed to show that different personalities can mesh.
I totally still watch the Newlyweds DVDs and have not-so-secretly wished they would get back together because it was such a fun show! Plus then they could always do new seasons… Darn it!
I have always always wanted Jess and Nick to get back together!! Newlyweds was by far my most favorite show and still is, I have the dvd’s and watch it from time to time, they’re just so darn cute 😉 I always wished Brit and Justin to get back together too.
Though they stay away from the paparrazi and we don’t see them together much, I think Freddie Prinze and Sarah Michelle Gellar are a really cute, down-to-earth couple. I just read her article in Health Magazine and it sounds like they have such a solid, loving relationship 🙂
My favorite celebrity couple is Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. I don’t really follow them or anything, but she seems so down to earth.
When I found out Nick & Jessica were separating, it was Thanksgiving day, I was in NYC and getting ready to go watch the parade. I was devastated! Thinking back on my reaction makes me LOL. They seemed so great together though.
I LOVE Kelly Ripa and Mark Conseulos..I think they’re SO friggen adorable and they better stay that way!!!! I still feel bad for Jen Aniston….I don’t care what they say, but Brad screwed her (figuratively lol) for Angelina. And to be in that spot where you have to act like everything is ok, props goes out to that woman.
I woulda broke under the pressure on numerous occasions!
I completely share your love for Newlyweds. I have all the DVD’s and use to watch them while running on the treadmill. For a few years I had hopes of them reuniting, guess it’s time to move on! 😉
~Kari
I would LOVE for Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt to get back together. I also love Kelly & Mark, Kim & Chris (although he appears to be a jerk most times)…I think a perfect celeb couple in my eyes is Brooke Burke and her new Hubby! They are just way too cute together!!
I’ve really been waiting for me and George Clooney to get back together. The suspense is KILLING me!
LOL!!!
I LOVE Will and Kate! SO cute. Then there is Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene. I actually got mad when i heard about them because i liked him and Taylor Swift, short lived as it was. For some reason i liked Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus. Now he’s out with Delta Goodrem. I have high hopes for Selena and the Biebs, though! Oh and i loved Matthew Morrison with Gwyneth too, but she’s married right? Also, love Sam and Quinn – Gleek Talk 🙂
oh, i have to mention the potential of Taylor & Taylor ( Swift and LAutner)!
HA! I read your blog for food ideas but I love that you and I have the exact same celebrity ideas – JTT 4eva (totally made the boyfriend take me to Lion King in 3D opening night) and I still watch Newlyweds while doing my hair and makeup and at night when I’m working late, I listen to Brit & ‘N Sync and think about those gawdawful denim jumpsuits they wore to the VMAs of yester years. Classic!
Oh and LIke everyone else, I’m down for a Taylor & Taylore reunion!
Totally with you on the Nick & Jessica reunion, as well as Britney and Justin. Maybe someday!!! Newlyweds was the best show, and they were the best couple. There’s still hope!
still hope for Brit & Justin I mean!
I own the Newlywed DVDs too! It made me love Nick, like when Nick and Drew show up to lunch wearing the exact same outfit or when Nick makes that table lower by sawing off a little from every leg but it’s not even so he saws it lower and lower! Such great boy moves.
I used to watch Newlyweds! One of my best girlfriends was completely bonkers obsessed with the show and I think she still wishes there would be a reunion 😛
It’s great that there never is anything negative about Beyonce and Jay-Z’s or the Smith’s relationship… It’s so sad hearing so much negativity and problems about celebrity couples 🙁
I thought the same about Will and Jada – but my mom was going on and on about how she cheated on him? I figured she just had her celebrity gossip all confused but I think she was just in the loop on that one (I don’t usually pay attention). I have to say, even the rumor sort of broke my heart
Brad and Jen!!
I totally own every season of Newlyweds, too! And still pull them out every now and then when I want a laugh and remember the good times between Jessica and Nick. So upset that he is remarried… have you ever noticed that Vanessa looks JUST LIKE JESSICA, only darker skinned??!! Coincidence… I think not.
I totally pulled out my old Newlywed Dvd’s the other day. No shame! I love that show. 🙂
Aww Justin and Britney- I think that ship has sailed though. I kinda wish he’d settle down with Jessica Beil already- what’s his deal?!
It’s obviously hard to know from speculation, but couples I think have a good relationship are Beyonce & Jay-Z, Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck, and Faith Hill & Tim McGraw
I am missing Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Yes, because they were so cute in The Notebook (Best. Movie. Ever.) and because I think they are both independently so gorgeous.
I also really like Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum – couple from Step Up – and yes, they are married.
I have always wanted Britney and Justin back together!!! I really miss Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift together… but see, if that happens then Joe can’t be mine (I kid, I kid) so I actually think Taylor and Taylor Lautner would be so cute back together. 🙂 Actually no, if Joe has to get back with someone it should be Demi Lovato! They were so cuteee as best friends and I just know that Joe shattered Demi’s heart. I am such a sucker for best friends who turn into a couple! Love! Ok, I swear I’m 21… not 15 😛
I also really miss Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus. I’m sorry, I have this love for the Jonas Brothers… I just need to stop haha.
I heard today that Demi and Ashton are done-zo.
Hmmm…. as far as who I’d like to see back together…. can I just break up Clooney and his new girl? 🙂
Ben and Jennifer are my favorite. I was always hoping for a Nick and Jessica reunion too. She seems down to earth but I thought Nick really brought out the best in her.
Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling!!!
