I’ve heard time and time again that we lose the most heat from our head, hands and feet, but I would make the argument that if your butt is cold, YOU are cold… no matter how warm your feet may be.
The fact that I want to hug the inventor of the butt warmer probably tells you that it is still awfully chilly in Orlando.
Fortunately I had a BodyPump class to warm me up this morning!
We had a substitute instructor today who just happened to be Tim, my favorite BodyPump instructor from several months ago! Tim left his position at my gym to pursue other opportunities, but it was great to see him again this morning and experience the enthusiasm that he brings to any group exercise class that he teaches. He even let me pick the song for the lunge track. Woo! 😀
After the ‘Pump, I came home, took Sadie on a quick walk and sat down to a warm breakfast!
I made myself a cheese and apple quesadilla on a whole wheat tortilla using Colby jack cheese and thin slices of a McIntosh apple. The apple slices that didn’t make the quesadilla went directly into my mouth. 😀
I love how beautifully white the flesh of a McInstosh apple appears.
I prepared this ‘dilla microwave-style by heating two sticks of string cheese on top of the tortilla before adding the apple slices. The whole meal came together in less than two minutes. Sha-zaam!
While waiting for the cheese to melt, I also enjoyed a handful of holiday pretzels.
Chocolate first thing in the morning is fine by me! 😀
Time to work!
Tina @ Faith Fitness Fun says

Liz @ Blog is the New black says
Ever since I got a car with a seat warmer, I have always said I will never drive one without one! Also, I love the sweet & savory combo of cheese & applies- delish!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
I wish I had butt warmers in my car! For my next vehicle, they will be a must-have on the criteria. Have a great day at work! 🙂
Alyssa @ Life of bLyss says
you know you’re a pump pro when you get to pick the tracks! i used to LOVE the kelly clarkson “i do not hook up” squat track!
what did you pick for lunges? 😉
that case-a-dilla “napolean dynamite style” looks delish.
AND i’m an avid user of the butt warmer. gotta love that just-peed-your-pants warmth! 😉

Chantal says
Haha, that made me smile 🙂 One of the things I first remember my hubby by is his statement that “happiness is a warm bum.” So he’d definitely agree with you! Then again, we’re up in Ottawa where it’s currently -4F! So ya, I hear you on wanting to be warm!

I want seat warmers so bad!! A past boyfriend of mine used to turn them on before he picked me up. That way my buns would be nice and toasty when I sat down 🙂

My butt warming seats are my favorite thing about my car. Sooo useful when it’s like 10 degrees out…I can’t be home to drive it again!!
Sophia says
I absolutely love my butt warmer. It’s on at all times, and it’s the only thing that gets me through sitting in my car before it’s completely warmed up!
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman says
Heated seats are possibly the greatest creation in winter. I prefer them over hot chocolate.
Annette says
Being a BodyPump instructor myself, it is so fun to have great participants who bring energy to the class. I’d love to have you in mine! Keep pumpin’ that iron 🙂 delish breakfast by the looks of it!

Looks like chocolate in the morning is ok with both you and the members of the Pea household!

Does anyone have the air conditioned seats yet?

Cassie @ A Very Busy Mind says
Chocolate first thing in the morning? Yeahhh, it’s 5:11 am, I just had a chocolate protein shake, and I’m about to add some cocoa powder to my coffee. Clearly, chocolate in the morning is fine by me, too. 😉
Anne says
OMG! I just found out that the great new gym I joined here in Daegu, South Korea is going to have Body Pump classes!!! I’m so excited to finally experience what you are talking about! Also, I ate a quesadilla for dinner last night! 🙂 Anyway, have a good day and keep enjoying Body Pump, hope I do!
