Hello and happy Thursday! I hope your morning is going well so far!
Things over here began on a delicious note with a veggie-packed egg and turkey bacon scramble that I made with shredded mozzarella cheese and topped with avocado for a punch of healthy fats.
Plus, a banana on the side!
Iām hoping this breakfast will do a decent job of fueling me through the 9 a.m. indoor cycling class I will be teaching as soon as this blog post goes up!
But letās back up a bit to yesterdayā¦
My Wednesday was spent mostly at the gym working, but I did manage to break away in the mid-morning to take a BodyPump class.
If I can make it work with my work and teaching schedule, Iād love to start trying to make it to one or two BodyPump classes a week. I just love that class so darn much!
After class, I drove back to the gym, ate lunch in the break room and worked through most of the early afternoon before heading out for a special activity! Yesterday, our Girls On The Run team reunited to donate the dog beds we made as part of our community service project.
Last season, we put together a bunch of fleece dog beds for a local animal rescue and yesterday we were able to meet some of the adorable adoptable puppies who will be using our beds while they stay at Ironstone Lane Rescue & Stables.
We met five adorable shih tzu-mix pups and the girls absolutely fell in love. All of the puppies were so cute and clumsy!
When the puppies arrived, they were wide awake and ready to play, but about 30 minutes later, a bunch of the girls were cuddling puppies that were fast asleep!
All of the puppies you see above are currently up for adoption through Ironstone Lane Rescue, so if you or someone you know is in the market for a new furry friend who needs a loving home, keep these sweet puppies in mind!
And now Iāve got to run. Iāll see you guys after lunch!

eat. sleep. rave. repeat. (this will make no sense if you don’t currently have this on your body pump playlist! it just gets stuck in my head!) –does your gym not have the Les Mills bars? They’re so easy to use, I love them! I saw you went to the Atherton Market a couple of posts ago-my gym is connected, Pure Body! I’m hoping to check out some of those cooking classes w/ the fiance soon! Thanks for the suggestion!
Lauren @ The Bikini Experiment says
So cute! How did you not take one home? It’s great you got back together with the girls to do a project like this. Girls on the Run sounds like an awesome organization.

Loooove your workout tights, but love puppies even MORE. We are in the process of buying our first home (with a yard, yay!) and I’m counting down the days until we can finally get a pup!
Jayme says
Those puppies! I melt. I’ve been wanting a dog for years, but I know I need a real yard first and to be home more. I couldn’t stand the thought of leaving a pup all cramped up in my apartment for most of the day!
Jen @ Pretty Little Grub says
I still haven’t tried BodyPump, I hear only amazing things about it. Those puppies are ridiculously cute, seriously.

So cute! I can’t be around puppies like that or I would end up taking them all home!
Angie says
Oh my those puppies are too cute! I also loved your breakfast scramble! Did you add any seasoning to your turkey meat or did you use turkey sausage? Thinking about trying to make something similar this weekend to have for next week. š
Julie says
it’s turkey bacon! i just season everything with sea salt and pepper!

Beks says
I feel like Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids around puppies. I want them all, but I would totally overestimate my ability to care for so many. So. Flipping. CUTE!
Julie says
LOL!
Lizzie S. says
Stop! I’m dying! They are so tiny. Maybe Sadie has expressed interest in being a big sis (to a fur sibling)?! š
Carol T. says
Julie – OMG they are so cute. We have a shih tzu puppy that is chocolate brown with green eyes. Her name is Zoey and she is 4 1/2 months old. She just loves my husband and they are best buds….
All puppies and dogs will just brighten every one lives…. they are the best!!!!
