Ryan and I hit the ground running this morning!
My workout totally flew by because all I was thinking was, “Get in, get out, get to HOTLANTA!” Atlanta here we cooome!
Our time at the gym began with 20 minutes of cardio. I completed this 20-minute treadmill workout:
| Minutes | Incline | Speed |
| 0 – 4 | 8.0 | 4.0 |
| 4 – 5 | 2.0 | 4.0 |
| 5 – 15 | 2.0 | Alternate 8.0 for one minute, 4.0 for one minute |
| 15 – 20 | 2.5 | Alternate 8.0 for one minute, 4.0 for one minute |
Once I was nice and warm, I headed into the weight room to complete a total body weights routine very similar to this one.
And then it was time to get crack-a-lackin’.
Since I detest packing, I packed half of my clothes last night and threw together my remaining outfits, toiletries and accessories this morning. Let’s hope I remembered everything… like my underwear.
Breakfast
Breakfast this morning included his and hers smoothies – to go! We served them up in solo cups (ah, college memories…) and I’m inhaling mine as I type and plan to take it on the road with me in un momento.
In the mix:
- 1 c. milk
- 1 1/2 frozen banana
- 1 c. strawberry banana Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Loved this smoothie! It was very ice-creamy.
Hit the Road, Jack
Now that our bags are fully packed…
And we have adequate entertainment in tow…
(All Ryan’s choices. 
Don’t make fun of my love for Babe.)
… I think we’re ready!
I’m out, girl scout! Stay tuned for an afternoon guest post from one of my all-time favorite bloggers. See ya later… from Georgia!
P.S. The Fashion page was updated!

Not gonna lie…that smoothie looks like a cup o’ frothy beer…or maybe that’s just the post-college student in me? 😉
Enjoy your trip and hope you have your undies! If not, you can always use that as an excuse to go on a Victoria’s Secret shopping spree!
Happy travels!
Meg
I love Babe too! The mice are my favorite part! 😉 Have a wonderful weekend!
Those solo cups bring back such fond memories….haha. I admire your motivation to get up and to the gym before leaving for vacation. Have a fun weekend!
Haha I always put my smoothies in solo cups when I need to leave the house quickly. They are the only easy throw away cup to use!
Have an awesome time in Hotlanta!! =D
Haha, the famous red solo cups! Ahh the memories.. Have an amazing time!! 🙂
That smoothie looks so refreshing- take that Maccy D’s! Forget Babe, I’m impressed Ryan agreed for Newlyweds!
He didn’t… we are in the car right now and he just asked what movies I packed. 🙂 oops…
hahha you evil, evil woman 🙂
How fun…Hotlanta! 🙂
Way to rock your workout before leaving town…it always feels so much better when you are able to squeeze in a workout before a trip!!
Have a great trip!
haha love the movie picks 🙂 have fun!!
Hope you have fun in GA, my home state! You will have a ton of fun at the aquarium I’m sure. 🙂 Can’t wait to see where you’re staying and what you eat!
I recommend R. Thomas for amazing healthy and delicious 24/hr dining. They’re located on Peachtree St across the street from an AMAZING cafe and dessert place that you can’t miss – Intermezzo. They have the most delicious cakes!!! They’re also open late. Enjoy Atlanta!
Yum! Thanks for the suggestions!
Since I’m not making fun of you for bringing Babe, can I make fun of you for bringing Newlyweds? 🙂
I actually used to love that show! I forget it existed!
Have a great time in Atlanta. I’ve been to that aquarium and the tank your diving in is AMAZING!!!
I’ve noticed that your cardio workouts have been pretty intense lately!! Love seeing them! Changing up the speeds regularly is the only way to go! Keeps things interested and time flying!
Hope you have a great time in HOTLANTA!
Babe is such a good movie…as is Mamma Mia! My singing voice always tries to shine through when I’m watching that movie…but it just scares everyone else ;). Have so much fun in Atlanta!!!
Have a fun trip!!! Are you watching these dvds in the car?? Eyes on the road! 🙂
Solo cups always remind me of watching Laguna Beach AND of college in general. Oh memories.
How do you watch movies on a road trip? Laptop? Or do you secretly drive a minivan with built-in DVD player? 😉
Mini van!!! Haha, no, we have a portable DVD player.
Oh gosh SOLO CUPS! Gah, such good and bad memories with those suckers hahaha
Solo cups bring back so many memories. Have fun in HOTLANTA. Poor Ryan doesn’t know what he’s in for with those movies.
I love Nick & Jessica!!!
Haha I agree it does look like frothy beer! I live in Hotlanta — hopefully the rain will hold off for you this weekend. Make sure you eat out a lot — amazing restaurants! If you need a brunch spot, may I suggest West Egg or Urban Pl8 on the west side of Atlanta! HAVE FUN 🙂
“I’m out, girl scout!” – haha. Rhyming things like that is my FAVE.
Nice movie choices…poor Ryan! 🙂
have an awesome time!!!
You guys are very brave I dont think I couls swim with sharks ever! 😛
Ahh the red cups.. I think they bring back some similar memories for everyone! Have a great trip Julie! 🙂
HAH The Newlyweds… Man that show gave me some good laughs 🙂
Have an awesome time!!!
hah thats quite the selection of dvds…love newlyweds!
Ahhh I used to love Newlyweds!!! I worried it would be bad luck to watch them now that they’re divorced..but maybe you’re on to something… Nick is too damn cute 😉
Have fun in Atlanta Julie! Awesome movie choices! 🙂
Have fun! I’m going to be sooooo jealous all day from my desk at work!!
I totally and completely forgot that Newlyweds was ever a real thing. Oh, Jessica, oh Nick… we barely knew ye as a couple.
So much can change in such a short time! (wait. just looked it up. 7 years ago what?!?!? wild.)
Hope you have a great trip!!!! That smoothie looks delicious!
My first thought when I saw that solo cup was, “Mmmm beer.” Ha ha. I’m not even a morning drinker -so I bet that smoothie was MUCH better.
Have a fun trip – drive safe 🙂
Enjoy Atlanta. I was watching Mamma Mia clips on you tube last night. Love that movie. Glad to see someone else who loves her Vera Bradley. I have that same travel bag although the print is actually the print that is on either your sunglass case or wallet (hard to tell from the picture). I’m a Vera junky. Way too many travel bags and purses. Can’t wait to hear about your trip.
I have the same exact Vera Bradley travel bag, but it’s in pink! We are like twins 🙂
Have a safe and fun trip, Julie! Looks like you are all set to go with the entertainment. Don’t worry, I love Babe too…especially the hilarious bird that thinks it’s a cockerel. So cute! 🙂 “Now Pig” 😉
That smoothie looks so refreshing and creamy…mmm…Take care! xyx
Hey Julie!
I have just recently got hooked on your blog! You and the Hubby are so precious and motivate me to get my butt to the gym! Random question ALERT….. What brand of protein powder do you use?? And does the Hubs use the same one as you or no???
Thanks,
Jamie
We are both loving Optimum Nutrition’s Gold Standard lately.
Yay! Have fun, and don’t worry if you forgot your underwear! hahaha 😛 xoxo
Newlyweds! Classic reality television. Love it!
Haha I have lots of college memories with those cups too : )
Have you tried mouse traps? We had a pesky little mouse who had the courage to show his face while I was cooking in the kitchen! But once we set this trap http://www.acehardwareoutlet.com/productdetails.aspx?sku=998014764&source=GoogleBase with canned salmon on top of the little cheese part, we had caught him within an hour. We weren’t psyched on using traps but it had gotten to be way too intrusive. Good Luck, maybe it can make your next couple of months more enjoyable.
I used to live in ATL – totally miss it sometimes. I even got married there. 🙂 You’ll have a blast.
Love Newlyweds! 🙂 Have a fun trip!
Have a good trip, love the travel outfit!
Have a great trip! Can’t wait to hear about the aquarium!
Have a safe trip Julie! See you in Georgia 🙂
Ohhhh red solo cups, those were the days!
Have a blast on your trip in Hotlanta! Newlyweds is wonderful entertainment, I so miss that show 🙂
Haha – best part of the smoothies in solo cups – the pale color looks like foam on top of a beer… ohhhh college 🙂
Oh Ikea, H&M, Cheesecake Factory, Two Urban Licks, ahhh I love me some ATL! Have fun!
Can’t wait to try Two Urban Licks tonight!
Oh have FUN!!! Love the idea of his/her smoothies for b-fast. Awesome!
I read your blog almost daily and I live in the fair city of Atlanta, have fun! I agree with the recommendation for Two Urban Licks, I have 2 friends that work there and it is fantastic! JCT Kitchen is also good. If you need a popsicle, find King of Pops on twitter and track his stand down, you won’t regret it!
We are going to Two Urban Licks tonight!!
Safe Travels! I totally own Newlyweds. What a great guilty pleasure 🙂
I haven’t watched Babe in forever, but I remember when I was younger it used to make me so sad (if I remember right, the mom gets taken away, right?). But I loooove Newlyweds. Definitely a guilty pleasure!
