Bachelorette parties are the best. And they make me miss college like crazy.
Yesterday was officially bachelorette party recovery day, so this morning I woke up feeling much more like myself. Thank goodness!
When the alarm went off, Ryan and I quickly changed into our workout clothes and headed off to the gym.
I completed a lower body and shoulder strength routine from the Best Body Boot Camp plan, but began my workout with a 30 minutes on the elliptical that looked like this:
More elliptical workouts:
- 50 Minute Elliptical Interval Workout
- Beat Boredom Interval Workout
- 20 Minute Elliptical Hill Workout
- 20 Minute Elliptical Workout
- 50 Minute Crazy Incline Elliptical Workout
Breakfast
Once we arrived home, I had one thing on my mind: Peanut butter!
I decided to make myself a bowl of hot steel cut oats and top them off with peanut butter to satisfy my craving.
I stirred the peanut butter into the oats and loved the peanut butter bites!
Time to head out to begin my first day on the new job!
Question of the Morning
Since I’m sure many of us could use a Monday morning pick-me-up…
- What is one thing you’re looking forward to this week?

Today the high is supposed to hit 58! Warmest day of the year in WI and I’m looking forward to that. 🙂 Also hoping to hit a few new gym classes this week – I’ve been wanting to try kickboxing for a long time!
So glad you ladies had fun. Sounds like a blast!
I’m looking forward to picking my parents up from the airport during my lunch break Friday. Yay for family time!!!
My daughter is starting high school next year and pompom try-outs start this week. I am super excited for her to try out. She will be going to a HUGE school, so if she makes it, great, but if she doesn’t, I’m just so proud of her for trying! Love the “tipsy” party pics, by the way! 😉
good luck to your daughter!
Thanks!
Hopefully it’ll be sunny this week so I can layout between classes! 🙂
I hope you have a GREAT first day!

I’m looking forward to a lot this week…I have so much planned. Like finally getting my pilates teacher training, and having a big get together with friends Thursday, and more.
