My mom gave birth to a little red-headed baby and I actually had a natural mohawk for my first year on this planet!
Eventually my red hair turned blonde, but I still think it’s crazy that I was a little red-headed baby. 😀
Breakfast
My birthday started out on the perfect note.
How is a Peanut Butter Finger lover supposed to kick off her birthday?
With a peanut butter finger (or two), naturally!
Nom, nom, nom.
Peanut butter was the star of my breakfast!
I topped a toasted sweet wheat Alternative Bagel with creamy peanut butter and a freshly sliced juicy pear.
On the side I munched on a small serving of roasted peanuts.
It was a great birthday breakfast!
Workout
Today’s workout was all over the place!
I wanted to take Sadie for a run to test out my new Garmin now that I think I figured out how to get it to report my statistics in miles vs. kilometers, but I forgot to charge it!
Bummer.
Instead of a run, I hit the gym for quite the random cardio hodgepodge:
- 2 rounds of the At Home Cardio Blast workout
- 20 min. elliptical
- 10 min. run
Jessica’s At Home Cardio Blast workout is so entertaining! It’s perfect for those days where a typical cardio workout on the treadmill or a machine simply won’t do.
Age Old Question
In honor of my birthday, I figured I would turn the tables on you and ask you the age old question:
How old are YOU?
Jessica @ How Sweet says

Happy Birthday Julie! I hope you have a great one. Peanut Butter is an excellent way to start any day, but especially a birthday.

Courtney @ Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life says
Happy Birthday Julie! 🙂
I turned 26 on January 30th.
Those bagels sound awesome! Did you buy them at a store, or did you have to order them? Do they taste similar enough to a regular bagel? I might have to try them! I LOVE bagels, just not all the added calories! 😉
peanutbutterfingers says
i bought them at my local grocery store (publix) in the bakery section.
Lisa says
