Alanis Morissette
The one and only Alanis Morissette!
Odd, huh?
Has a celebrity entered your dreams recently?
In my dream, Alanis was leading my high school diving team in a motivating cheer before a meet. The cheer was simply all of us singing Ironic at the top of our lungs.
“It’s like raaaaaaain on your wedding day! It’s a free riiiiiiide when you’ve already paid…”
What a classic. 😉
Workout
I totally forgot about my dream until an Alanis Morissette song came on my iPod at the gym and triggered the memory. 🙂
(Oh, and in case you’re wondering, I definitely have more than one Alanis song on my iPod. Jagged Little Pill was one of my first CDs and I still love it. )
This morning I brought back a lil’ HIIT training into my life.
I hopped on the treadmill for 30 minutes and completed about 20 minutes of HIIT training.
HIIT Treadmill Workout
30 Min. HIIT Workout
(Ryan and Mama, how awesome is this Excel sheet picture I made!? Aren’t you proud!?)
The actual HIIT training only lasted for 20 minutes, but that was more than enough! It felt easy in the beginning, but by the end I was huffin’ and puffin’.
Woo-wee, I was a sweaty mess afterward!
After looking like a loony switching back and forth from sprinting and walking on the treadmill, I hopped on the elliptical for 20 minutes of light cardio with the latest issue of Oxygen magazine.
I flagged two yummy lookin’ recipes in the magazine so stay tuned!
Breakfast
Ladies and gentlemen, little Miss Peanut Butter Fingers doin’ what she does best:
Me + PB!
Why-oh-why are peanut butter fingers so gosh darn delicious?
Clearly peanut butter was the star of my breakfast.
I enjoyed a peanut butter and strawberry sandwich on a honey wheat Arnold sandwich thin.
Strawberries
Pb & Strawberry Sandwich
I also sipped on a hot tumbler of my gym’s free coffee (Barnie’s cinnamon butter cookie… SO good!).
Tuesday's Breakfast
Any meal with peanut butter is a good one. 😀
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday to blog reader Alison!
Angel Food Cupcake for the Birthday Girl!

Haha, that was one of my first CD’s also!
My first CD too! I want to try HIIT training, looks awesome!
I love that you had a dream with Alanis! Sometimes I think how funny it looks when I do HIIT training at the gym…… Oh well, it’s an amazing workout!
ohhh HITT training… you have me contemplating if I want to try this out later at the gym or not… we will see!
and really that coffee flavor sounds awesome.. I wish my gym had coffee!
I LOVED her CD when I was younger too. I don’t still have it to listen to, but man I wish I did.
HIIT training is great. Looks like your workout was a good one and I’m glad you enjoyed it. I miss it for my cardio, but gotta keep things calm these days. Boo!
I love your breakfast idea. I do the same thing for M’s lunch. 😀
PB and strawberries…I’ve never tried it…you know I will though!
OMG Jagged Little Pill was my first CD! That and one of Celine Dion’s…such an eclectic taste in music 😉
I can’t put PB on anything without taking a little swipe with my finger…it’s just too tempting.
Jagged Little Pill was such a great CD! Oh good times. 🙂
You PB fingers remind me of Puck from real world San Francisco…except you’re a whole lot prettier than him, lol.
I ran with my dog this morning and thought of you and Sadie! It was fun!
Love your HIIT! Nice goin girl.
Alanis Morrisette is so middle school days, love her. Did you know she ran a marathon? crazyiness
aaand she dated ryan reynolds. 🙂 lucky girl.
I just stumbled on your blog this morning, and I’m glad I did…I love it! I’m a huge pb fan myself; it tastes great on everything!
I’m going to have to try a strawberry and peanut butter sandwich now. I have never thought I making a sandwich like that before! I always make banana and peanut butter sandwiches though…yum! Thanks for the awesome idea! 🙂
