You should probably know that Sadie has officially disowned me as her doggie mama, but that’s okay because I have a feeling she’ll take me back when I bribe her with some chicken jerky. I know the way to her heart.
For now, I think I deserve the cold shoulder she’s givin’ me.
"I Can't Even LOOK at You. You Disgrace Me."
Workout
This morning I woke up excited (seriously!) to head to the gym because I knew a boot camp class awaited me.
I took the same boot camp class offered by my gym for the first time two weeks ago and fell in love! I missed last week because we were in Sanibel, so I was extra amped to try it out again today.
Like the class from two weeks ago, the instructor created six circuits that we completed two times. By the time we were done, my face was dripping!
I think boot camp-style workouts are the type of exercise I enjoy most. I’m not a particularly fast runner, I get bored very easily and I’m just about the least competitive person on the planet. Boot camp classes appeal to me because they’re fast-paced enough to fight boredom and since the circuits are short, I feel extra motivated to go all out since they’ll be done in no time. Love!
After boot camp, I cooled down with 20 minutes on the elliptical while reading blogs on my phone. (Loved Kailey’s blog post from last night!)
Hula Hooper Returns
Long-time PBF readers may remember when I blogged about a woman I saw hula hooping her way around Lake Eola in downtown Orlando last summer. Well, this morning I spotted her again on my walk with Sadie!
Fortunately this time I had my phone on me and snapped a picture of her in all her glory.
Behold, the expert hula hooper!
"Me, I Want a Huuuuula Hoooooop!"
The woman is seriously talented. I watched her for a solid five minutes (I’m so creepy) and she didn’t stop or adjust once!
Though my hula hoop talents are minimal, my eating talents are on point, so I did what I do best after our walk and ate some breakfast.
Breakfast
On the menu today:
- Toasted sweet wheat Alternative Bagel (I buy these at Publix)
- Chocolate PB2
- Sliced banana (Yes, I grabbed the last one, Ryan. I’m a monkey and I’m sorry!)
- Pumpkin pie spice
- Strawberry banana Greek yogurt
Breakfast
So satisfying!I wish I would’ve frozen the banana because I love cool banana slices on top of my peanut buttery bagels. Next time!
Dig In!
Time to work. The weekend starts SOON!

I did a bootcamp-style workout this morning too and it KILLED me. So hard!!! Though I kind of wish my gym offered hula hooping classes in addition to boot camp. Cause that woman is awesome.
I just posted about the circuit training that I did. Would love to hear what you guys did.
Wow, I haven’t seen a hula hoop in ages! I could never really do it as a kid without having it just fall down as I weirdly tried to move my hips around in circles but I feel like it’d be a good ab workout!! Glad you had a great workout! 🙂
I actually have a friend that can do incredible things with a hula hoop. No joke. Like full out dance performances hula hoop a’twirling. Its incredible.
She is super talented and has the most amazing feminine body because of what it works out!
Maybe we should all try hula hooping? Or maybe not.. I am not nearly coordinated enough.
Enjoy!
Everytime you eat the Strawberry Banana Chobani I want to cry…I can’t find it ANYWHERE in Indy! 🙁
And that lady is extremely talented…I can barely hula hoop just standing still!! lol
That lady must perform in the circus to have those hula skills!
I ate an Ezekiel cinnamon raisin english muffin with cranberry peanut butter on this morning. Half before the gym and half after. Good stuff!
is there a place to get PB2 in the orlando area?
not that i know of. 🙁 i order it from netrition.com.
That is SO random. There’s a trail that I run on and it’s pretty hilly and rocky at some points…anyway there’s a guy that rides a unicycle on there! I don’t think I’m brave enough to even ride a bike on that trail, much less a unicycle! It’s pretty funny 🙂
omg. i think the hula hooper and your unicyclist would be best friends.
Such an eventful morning!! P.s. I LOVE Sadie’s quotes under her photos!
Is PB2 good? I have been wanting to try it, but I don’t want to spend the money and be disappointed. Do you like chocolate or regular better? Thanks!
I wish I could hula hoop like her! One of my sorority sisters just taught me how to hula hoop! Haha!
Dude,she probably has a visible 6 pack or something. Crazy!! I wish I could do that.
Hula Hoop lady is awesome! I used to be an expert Hule Hooper in elementary school…we used to play a game called Hula War. Love it! I haven’t used a hula hoop in years…I wonder if I could even still do it! 🙂
I love bootcamp type workouts too! I swear, I get bored very easily. I am surprised I have kept up with running this long (2.5 months) ha!
I love bootcamp workouts too! Strength and cardio all in one!
omg i nearly died thinking of the chipmunks singing that tune!!! HILAR 🙂
xoxoox

I can’t even hula hoop standing still! My five-year-old self is disappointed in me.
I can’t hula hoop standing still – my Wii even tells me I’m a horrible hula hooper. I did, however, love the hula hoop thing back in the day that kept track of how many times you went around – I think it was by the makers of the Skip-It 🙂
I totally had that hula hoop, the one that kept track… and the Skip-It!!! I totally forgot about that!
Ahh, the hula hoop lady! That takes mad skills on her part! So crazy that you saw her again.
Frozen bananas on a bagel sounds so yummy 🙂
That’s some serious hoopin’ skill — And I should know. My mom was second place in the state of Texas for hula hooping and I did choreographed hula hoop shows for talent shows all though out school.
Haha, Sadie’s face.
That’s crazy! I’m so jealous of her hooping skills! If only I could hula… ohh well.
Hurrah for WEEKEND!
I have absolutely no hula hooping skills so I would have been staring at that woman in awe, too! Also loved the ass grass story 🙂
I’m really excited to see that you get your Alternative Bagels at Publix. I can’t find them around me anywhere and didn’t want to order offline…however, I’m heading to Florida on Wednesday and canNOT wait to try them 🙂
I’ve never been able to hula hoop. That lady is crazy! She just walks down the street hula hooping??
omg i just read your ass grass post and died…too funny. I also love bootcamp, but my gym doesnt have them! 🙁 But you are right..bootcamp makes sure you never get bored and they are great for working all ur muscles!
happy friday love!
xoxo
Lo
Hi! Have you ever tried Tabata? You might like it if you love doing boot camps. You do a set of 8 exercises like squats, push ups, or v sits. Each exercise is done for 20 seconds then you get 10 seconds rest. This is done 8 times for each exercise before taking a 1 minute rest before starting the next exercise. The goal is to keep the amount of reps you do constant for all 8 rounds of the exercise.
I love doing tabata because it is so fast paced you do not have time to get bored and I’m often sore days after.
ps. I love Sadie’s comments under her pictures! She looks like such a sweetie 🙂
Kudos to the hula hoop lady for not being afraid to look bonkers. Unless she IS bonkers…
I think you should talk to her the next time you see her!
I wish any of the gyms near me offered classes like Body Pump or bootcamp style classes. Actually I think the one I go to has one, but it starts like three hours before I wake up! It’s kinda frustrating because they only offer classes at the crack of dawn and super late at night. I need something in the middle people!
That breakfast looks delish. Everytime you post food it looks just so tasty! I also would have watched the hula hooper. That’s skill right there!
i think this is my first time to comment here i have been reading your blog for a couple of weeks now, found you through your meals and moves guest post. when i came to your page today and saw hula hoop at the top i knew i had to comment! i am a avid hula hooper! i have many different hoops and can do a number of tricks. there are some really talented girls out there that can hoop very good, im not there yet. but hope i will be someday!! does that woman walk and hoop?? because that is like EXTREMELY hard!! hooping burns like 10 cals a min. pretty bitchin workout. its also very zen.
Haha, that is awesome! She’s got mad skills.
ive been reading about hula hooping a lot lately…apparently, it’s the new exercise rage..LOL!
I must have missed the ass grass story last night. Thanks for relinking here so I could catch up on this hilarious happening. This hula hoop lady is also pretty funny. 🙂
I love alternative bagels too! Once i saw them at Publix for 110 cal and they weren’t faux bagels (bagel thins) I knew i had to buy them!! 😀 Ur bkft looks delish
Oh my goodness, 5 minutes straight of hula hooping?! That is crazy! I totally would’ve gone up to her and talked to her. I’m just like that, though… ha!
Your bootcamp class sounds freaking amaaaazing! Really motivates me to try one out 🙂
AHAHA HULA HOOP LADY! i SUCK at hula hoop.. it was the one of the many things i never quite mastered.. GRRRR
HAHAH Hula hoop lady!!! I love hula hooping, maybe I should try and be her…..
I stole the last banana from my honey this morning too. In my defense, I gave him a bite.
I did bootcamp last night and I am so sore today! We do 3 min cardio then 3 min weights and each 3 minutes is a diff station. I love it!
I also took the last banana this morning 🙂
the hula hoop lady is great 🙂
on my bike path, i always look forward to the summer crowd because we see the same faces everyday and it’s fun to say hi. sometimes though, there are random folks….like the lady who walks with a tiny boom box (no headphones, a straight up boom box) and sings along. precious 🙂
That pic of Sadie made me giggle. Hilarious!
Random question–and I apologize if I asked before–but how do you like your phone? You got a Droid, right? I am waffling between that and the iPhone and looking for as much input as I can get!
In response to you saying how much you loved KAILEY’s pot.. you MUST read this – http://nicheoriginals.ca/gillianyoung/
I cried at my desk and then printed it out and posted it in my mirror
SO moving!! Gillian wrote about her body..
Here is a sentence:
I will remind myself that you are made for moving, loving, dancing and eventually bringing more beauty to this world. I will make sure you are strong and healthy so that I can do this.
This is beyond hilarious.
I like to add a little unsweetened cocoa powder to vanilla chobani! delish!
OOOh that is awesome- I wish I could hula hoop better as well….but I can shake it on the dance floor 😉
I love boot camp style workouts!
I wonder if her hoola hoop is weighted or a regular one? Apparently you can get weighted hoola hoops to use for workouts.
