And guess what Sadie means?
We should’ve known.
Workout
Ryan and I both had trouble sleeping in this morning so we made it to the gym nice and early.
On Saturday mornings my workouts are often a little more relaxed than weekday workouts for no other reason than the fact that it’s the weekend.
I was pretty pumped when I ended up feeling rather motivated in the gym this morning and completed a pretty stellar upper body workout.
It left my arms shakin’ in the best possible way. I was a fan!
Breakfast
Breakfast this morning was prepped last night.
I actually prepped this breakfast twice because I ended up eating batch number one as an evening snack. It happens more often than I’d care to admit when it comes to overnight oats. They call to me from the fridge!
I made the overnight oats with pineapple Greek yogurt and topped them with a sliced banana and nectarine this morning for a punch of fresh fruit.
And now it’s time to take Princess Sadie on a hike.
Other plans for the day include splitting up to tackle our annual Valentine’s Day Mission. I can’t wait!
Stephanie @ Legally Blinde says
I love your Valentine’s Day Mission – such a good idea! What a great way to stay on budget and have a fun challenge at the same time. Good luck!
Bee Goes Bananas says
That’s so cute! I had no idea Ryan meant Little King. Here are the meanings behind our names…
Brianna (aka Bee) – Noble, strong, virtuous
Cornelis (aka Casey) – Horn, horned (bahaha!)
Zeke – “God will strengthen”
Wow, what a crazy family we are!
Racheal @ Running with Racheal says
I also eat overnight oats / breakfast cookies the night of instead of waiting until the morning. Sigh.
Jana @ Newly Wife Healthy Life says
That is so cute! Princess Sadie’s name fits her perfect 🙂 We always laugh because my mom’s name is Paula and it means ‘small one.’ It fits her to a tee because she is barely 5’1″ and as tiny as can be! Her name was chosen perfectly too! lol
Kate says
Once again, you make my cold Saturday morning hilariously fun with Sadie’s captions… 🙂 Can we please address her by ‘Your Highness’ from now on? It would be appropriate, I assure you.
Sneakers2Sandals says
and what a pretty princess she is 🙂 love that dog! glad you got a great start to your weekend at the gym!
Maja says
she’s such a sweet dog! strangly enough, I don’t think I ever came across a vizsla here in germany. are they only really popular in the states?
Brittney says
Oh no! Maybe Ryan and Sadie are meant to be. The little king and the princess. I’m still rooting for you in the favourite parent war though!
Lindsay says
Julie, I am LOVING these little workouts, and the cute colored box I can save to my desktop. I recently cancelled my gym membership so I have been using these at home…most of them I do do with my at home equipment and they are so simple, fun and effective! THANK you!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Hahaha what a perfect and fitting name meaning for Sadie 😀
Shannon from Healthiful Balance says
Sadie DOES look like a princess! 🙂
Your breakfast looks awesome!
Aylin @ Glow Kitchen says
princess she may be, but you will always be youthful — so i suppose you win?
Carly Moorehead says
I adore seeing your pictures of Sadie every day! They crack me up.
Ellie@Fit for the Soul says
hahah that’s so funny!! What a “coincidence”….huh? 😉 love the cute caption. I want a dog to write captions for! haha
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
hahahaha I love that her name means princess!!!
Maureen says
Be careful…Sadie may want to start wearing a tiara VERY soon!
Stephanie says
My name means princess in Greek 🙂 Sadie and I are connected!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
Love the Valentine’s Mission thing–have fun!!
That workout looks steller and a lot like BodyPUMP -type moves (my personal fav, as I teach BP) !! 🙂
Amber K says
I love name meanings! I always find it funny that my husband’s name means Elf Ruler. Especially because he’s 6’8”, lol.
Khushboo says
Love that Sadie caption! My name translated means ‘fragrance’…apparently it’s much more meaningful before translation!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
HAHAHA I love that Sadie’s name means “princess” – so perfect! 😉
Gen says
She is a princess for sure!
Michelle (Better with Berries) says
You inspired me to look up my dog’s name, but unfortunately I couldn’t find it. Apparently no parents are naming their kids Meeko these days 🙂
QueenofFitness says
so cool that you wrote this post. sarah also mean princess. i am an elementary school counselor and just the other day i conducted a lesson on the meaning of names with a kindergarten class. i first read the book chrysanthemum and while the students drew a picture of themselves the teacher and i walked around and wrote down what each of their names meant. (i looked up everyone’s names prior to visiting). it was a really fun activity. i was surprised how many of the students already knew what their names meant.
Stellina @ My Yogurt Addiction says
Those overnight oats look so good! I have really got to try them someday!
Judi says
Sadie, is a little princess. She is such a sweet little girl. I need to find out what my husband’s name means. I would think it would be tall crazy jamaican if it were to fit his personality. 🙂 I think my name is Hebrew Jewess (Judith – la di da) 🙂
Kelly says
HAHAHAHA! I love that Sadie’s name means princess!!
Mama says
Look what I just found for Susan. I knew of Lily, but “There is another meaning for Susan. In Hebrew it can mean either ‘graceful white lily’, or, (along with Sally, Sadie and Sara) it can mean ‘My Princess’?” Sooo Sadie and I are both the family princesses! xo Mama
Courtney says
My boyfriend and I did the same thing with our names recently. Big mistake! Now when he is feeling extra ornery he asks that I address him as “Matthew, gift from God”. My name means “short nose”…..
Kelsey says
That’s so sweet her name means princess, it was meant to be 🙂
Julie says
your photo and caption of Sadie literally had me laughing out loud at work! super cute 🙂
