Now I just have to get through today!
Breakfast
Breakfast today was inspired by the smell of bacon I inhaled on my morning walk with Sadie and Ryan.
I made myself a breakfast bagelwich that included two egg whites, two slices of Morningstar Farms veggie bacon and a wedge of Laughing Cow light original Swiss cheese.
My bacon craving was satisfied! 😀
Workout
Today’s workout included a BodyPump class, followed by 10 minutes of cardio split between the elliptical and the stair master.
During BodyPump this morning, the instructor announced that I was getting married on Saturday which totally made me blush, but also made me want to work a little harder, knowing my wedding is so, so close!
I really felt the burn on the shoulder’s track. That track in the newest release is definitely my all-time favorite shoulder track out of all the BodyPump releases I’ve experienced. It’s tough but fun at the same time.
And now it’s time for the Wednesday usual… work! 😀

Did you ever see that “beggin’ strips” commercial where the dog is trying to figure out what’s in the bag?
“Bacon? Bacon? What’s it say? I CAN’T READ!”
HOORAY FOR WEDDING!! Can’t wait to hear/see all about it!!!!!
Meg says
Gahhh I’m so excited for you!! 😀

Remember that you can only live one day at a time! I got a massage from a friend on the morning of my wedding right after I woke up and it was the best thing I ever did! The day is going to go by SO fast to be sure to take your time and remember each breath and each emotion :).
p.s. I can’t wait to see the dress!!!
Kristen says
Wow, I can’t believe your big day is so close! Congratulations! And I’m totally there with you on the BodyPump new release–the shoulder track is so challenging but I really love it!
Molly says
ah cant wait to hear all about your big weekend 🙂
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
i can’t believe it’s almost here…so excited for you!
quick question: when you do the morningstar farms bacon, do you warm it up at all? or just eat it cold?
peanutbutterfingers says
definitely warm it up! i microwave it for about 50 seconds. it gets nice & crispy!
Chicago Cuisine Critique says
You are so close! How exciting! 🙂
Paula says
Wow you are getting so close! I got married almost 6 months ago and my advice is just enjoy the day! You seem to have a great outlook on marraige and know that your relationship is more important than the centerpeices 🙂
have an AMAZING wedding and more importantly life together!!!
Rachel @ The Avid Appetite says
That bagelwich looks great! good luck with all of your wedding events and remember to savor every second because it flies by way too fast!
Corey @ Runners Cookie says
Good luck with all the last minute stuff!! You must be practically bursting with excitement 🙂
Alyssa says
Julie- I’m pretty inspired and toying with the idea of starting my own blog. I believe you said before who did your layout and who your blog host is, but could you refresh my memory? 🙂 I searched all over and couldn’t find it!
peanutbutterfingers says
sure! i started my blog through wordpress.com, but it is now hosted through bluehost.
Lindsay says
Your *last* day of work as a single lady…!
Kelly says
I hope you have a fantastic wedding weekend! Can’t wait to see pictures and read all about it!
Lindsay @ The Ketchup Diaries says
Gosh, I am just SO HAPPY for you. I cannot wait to hear all about it, but I sure hope when you’re there, you’re not thinking about us readers AT ALL. I know that sounds obvious, but thoughts of blogs creep in when you least expect it. Don’t let it happen, pretty lady!!
So many congrats 🙂
Stephyeats says
Hi! I’ve been reading your blog for a while but have never really commented – just had to say all the best on your wedding day (so exciting!) and I am totally loving the new release for bodypump here in Canada..the shoulder track is definitely a killer! Had to book a massage as I OD’d on taking body pump this week lol.
carlee says
That bagelwish looks so amazing!!!!!!!
I wish i could eat gluten filled bagels:(
and i’m excited to hear about everything with your wedding! enjoy your days off:)
Jean@RoastedRootsandPumpkinSpice says
I bet these last few days feel surreal. Good luck getting everything together and I hope everything goes smoothly. Oh, and congrats!! 🙂
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman says
I’m so excited for you! I’m sure it will all go seamlessly. Will you be blogging the rest of the week or are you outta here till the wedding is over?
peanutbutterfingers says
i’ll try to pop in tomorrow a bit, but i am assuming friday and saturday will be blog-free. 🙂
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Yay for having extra days off, even though I’m sure you’re be busy busy on those days as well!
Shayla says
Yay so exciting Julie! I can’t wait to see you in your dress – I’ve been forever anticipating what it looks like!
And breakfast looks delish! I’ll have to try those veggie bacon strips – never had them and I’m curious to try b/c I love me some bacon! What kind of bagels do you use? I know you’ve used the thins but they don’t look that thin?! 🙂
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers says
they’re called “alternative bagels” and they’re AMAZING. i love the sweet wheat bagels.
Shayla says
Omg my sister raves about those!!! Must try them, I love the “sweet wheat” type of bread too! Thanks Julie!
Courtney @ Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life says
You are SO RIGHT about the shoulder track…it’s such a killer! Those last few reps of the rotators are awful!
The lunge track, however, is one of my favorites from this release. Love the song! 🙂
