At the gym this morning, I learned I have something to work on.
Tricep push ups. Oh goodness.
I felt so incredibly weak as I attempted to do three sets of tricep push ups on my knees at the end of my workout. Sure, I saved them for last when my arms were already fatigued, but they were killer for me!
I began my workout with two rounds of the killer incline walking workout I did a couple weeks ago. It’ll make ya sweat!
Then it was time to rock my upper body with this workout:
In retrospect, saving the tricep push ups for the end of the workout was probably a silly thing to do because I was already quite tired and I had a really hard time getting through all 15 repetitions three times. But it felt really good to challenge myself!
Breakfast
When we arrived home, I had one thing on my mind.
Egg + Jelly + Cheese
As always, the cheese was the best part.
Ooey gooey!
Christmas Car Costumes
Yesterday my car got Christmasified!
Sadie judged me during the entire process of transforming my car into a road reindeer, but now she can’t wait to go for a ride in my reindeermobile.
I’ve been eyeing reindeer cars for a few years now, and this year I finally bought one back in November in anticipation of the holiday season. Yes, I know this is ridiculous.
Ridiculously awesome.
Now I just need the “My Other Car is a Sleigh” bumper sticker!
In case you’re in the market for a Christmas car costume for your ride, here are some other options available for you festive crazies friends:
And, if you can believe it, they also have car costumes for many other holidays, including Easter, St. Patrick’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Independence Day and more!

Not to be a complete exercise newb, but what’s the difference between a push up and a triceps push up?

The car decorations are super cute!
As for your arm work out, I have been doing chest presses on a ball but always feel like I’m not doing right. Like I can’t get my arms low enough or something. Do you have this issue or is it me? cause that’s always possible 🙂
Thanks!

We bought our daugher one of the reindeer car costumes a couple of years ago and she can hardly wait until the day after thanksgiving to put it on her little car. I love it!! I have been know to put one of the big plastic candy canes over my antenna but it wont work on my current car. Bummer!

Your “Ridiculously awesome.” statement reminded me of the TV show How I Met Your Mother. I could HEAR Barney saying it as I read your blog. You have a way of channeling things. HAH.
BTW LOVE your reindeer car. If I can find the costume on Amazon, I’m soo ordering it and stealin’ your style 🙂

Your breakfast sandwiches with the egg, cheese & jelly look good but since I’ve never tried those things all together I’m kind of scared. I do like my salty & sweet so hmmm… LOL!! The reindeer car looks like a hoot! I was cracking up when I saw that especially Sadie’s face when she saw the reindeer antlers HAHAHA!! Merry Christmas! 😀

Bahahaha I’ve always thought those car reindeer costumes are just the cutest. Love it.
Also, I feel ya on triceps pushups. They’re AWFUL. I can do all sorts of arm workouts, and I’ve gotten a lot stronger in the past few months, but I still can only do one or two triceps pushups before I’m done.
