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:

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?
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
Like some people have said, I’m looking forward to warm, sunny, GOREGOUS weather! 🙂
The elliptical workout chart seems like a great workout plan! It is always important to stay healthy! Did you come up with that yourself?
good luck at the new job!
Love your necklace from that picture! And the glasses 😉
Good luck on your first day! I hope you have a great one! Good thing you didn’t start yesterday and come a bit “under the weather” to your first day of work! Lol
I, too, LOVE bachelorette parties. Girlfriend time, laughing, etc just never gets old!
And as for what I’m looking forward to this week…..Buying my very first brand new car!!! 🙂 Eeeek!! I just love that new car smell.
Happy Monday, Julie! Good luck today!!
I leave for a California vacation this week which I’m super excited about! But I’m really excited to be running outside again after over 6 months of knee pain and physical therapy!! I went on my first outside run yesterday and it was AWESOME. I love being able to run again 🙂
Have fun/good luck at your new job!! Exciting!
I am looking forward to a great lunch date with a friend, sleep (hah), and reading a few good books after work!
Good luck on the new job!! I am looking forward to my four day weekend!! Hiking, biking and farmers markets, oh my! Yes, yes I just did that!
Congratulations on the new job and hope today goes really well!
And this week I’m looking forward to getting some nursery related things done (hopefully a lot of it) and a wedding, yay! I love weddings haha.
Good luck at your job! So exciting! I’m looking forward to making lots of healthy meals this week. The weekend is always a time for going out to eat so I like to jump back to nutritional meals during the week. Those oats look delicious!
I’m looking forward to trying to RUN again! (I’ve been taking some time off for injury)
I think anything with peanut butter added is wonderful! I have been putting peanut butter in my scottish oatmeal in the morning and it makes it thicker and WAY more tasty!
I’m looking forward to more outdoor activities this week, thanks to the warmer weather and sunshine FINALLY arriving here in Tennessee 🙂
Hey Julie! Your blog is so fun and inspiring! I just started my own blog too! Reading your blog seriously inspired me to start my own! Hope you’ll check it out:

Good luck on your first day !!!!!!!! I’m sure everyone will love you !!
Good luck on your first day! Things I am hoping for this week – to hear that everyone in Boston is okay. That’s all that matters to me today.
Isn’t it weird how after intense cardio, we crave peanut butter? LOL!
I’m looking forward to *hopefully* nicer whether here in WI so I can get a run or two in!
Good luck with your first day!
Hope the first day is great! 🙂
Good luck with the first day of your new job!!
I’m looking forward to baking this week! I have my second “official” baking gig as I slowly start my own bakery business.
I am happy to be to the confernce with a lot of great co-workers and looking worward to a nice weather, a coupe of good runs, and do it yourself laminate project in our bedroom this week!
We have Friday off this week, so I’m pretty pumped about that!
I am looking forward to finishing the two tests I have to take this Wednesday! I am also looking forward to my last wedding shower this weekend! 🙂
Can I please have a sunny day with temperature in the 70s? Pretty please with a cherry on top? 😉
I’m looking forward to Sydney and the expo this weekend!
Ps. Your oats are way too runny for me 😉
You start your job today? Yay, I can’t wait to read a (hopefully) recap! As for the workout, I love workouts like these that can be completed in a TV show (I’m a cardio machine tv watcher) that also are constantly switching things up because I get bored with workouts literally after 5 minutes of doing the same thing. This is perfect!
Hi Julie, I just discovered your blog last week and haven’t stopped clicking since! Random question: Can you recommend any online sources or books, for a beginner trying to learn the basics of nutrition and exercise (aside from your wonderful blog :)?
Thanks!
Hey Julie – I don’t think I have done an elliptical workout that hasn’t been one of yours since this past September when I started reading your blog. I have been looking for a good in-between since you have a couple of 20 min and then the 50 min, so glad to see this 30 min one! Is the third column the resistance ? I am assuming so since crossramp and incline are the same….just checking! Hope the new job is going well and you are enjoying your vacation!
I’ve used elliptical as my cardio exercise for 20 minutes a day. After that I do weight training workout alternately.
