This morning started off like any other Monday morning… at the gym!
Twenty minutes of cardio on the elliptical followed by my beloved BodyPump class. Only one more week of the ‘Pump and then it will be out of my life foreverrr. 
Okay, maybe I’m being a bit dramatic. The gym we’ll likely join in Ocala doesn’t have the ‘Pump, but I am seriously considering looking into becoming certified to teach it myself if the gym would be open to offering the class. We’ll see!
Walk
After my workout, it was Sadie walkin’ time!
Ryan joined us for our usual walk around the lake because he has the whole week off work.
Woo!
Ryan planned to have a week off between jobs and we’re planning to use this week to finalize our housing situation in Ocala (or set up temporary housing), pack and move. Eek! It’s a big week in the Fagan household.
Of course I will be doing my usual work thang, as I have a couple of freelance pieces due this week and some blog to-dos as well. I wrote (and baked!) for a few hours yesterday so I would feel better about taking a few hours off in the middle of the day today.
Ryan and I have an appointment with a realtor in Ocala at 10:30 a.m. to see four potential houses to rent. We’re very hopeful one of them will work out, but if not, at least we’ll know it’s time to seriously look into temporary housing.
Needless to say, our morning walk was dominated by discussions of our housing hopes and plans.
Breakfast
Once we arrived home, I took a quick shower before it was time for breakfast.
On the menu for today was a coffeefied green monster… aka a mocha protein smoothie… aka DELICIOUS. 
A lil’ caffeine plus a lil’ chocolate, served in my favorite Anthropologie mug = Win!
And now I’m feelin’ a little jittery! It’s amazing how much a little bit of caffeine affects me. It makes me chatty. 
I’m glad I’ll have a road trip buddy to talk to as we head to Ocala in a bit!
Catcha later, alligators!

Good luck with the househunting! I totally sympathise with how stressful it is trying to find somewhere on a tight deadline…. Am sure you guys will get something good 🙂
Good luck with the house hunt!! I know you’ll find something great!
I also love the idea of becomming certified to teach Body Pump – think about it – being paid to blog, and being paid to work out!! Win win!!
Good luck with the house hunt! I have the same mug, only with an M on it, but it’s packed away in my apartment in Connecticut where our sublettors are living til end of August. The I’ll have my M mug back in action, woo!
Good luck on the house hunt! I can imagine how nerve wracking it can be!
Becoming a certified Body Pump instructor is one of the best decisions I ever made! Only thing w/offering Les Mills classes is, the gym has to be a licensed facility to offer it. Which means fees. But, you never know, they might like to do that. I can promise it would bring more clients in the doors!
love coffee in smoothies! great idea to become certified, getting paid to workout has to be one of the best jobs!
You’d be a great fitness instructor! Go for it!
Yay- good luck!! I’m sure you’ll come across the place of your dreams in no time- stay positive!
I just got a blender/food processor thingy this wkend (thingy? clearly I’m mature enough for more household appliances ;-)), and I’m so excited to start making some smoothies!
Love that mug!! I stalk Anthropologie’s online SALE section! The only section I can afford!o
Could you do a post about what you purchase at the grocery store and like, where you get your produce? thanks!
You should totally teach pump!! I’ve always thought about doing that!
I wish caffeine made me jittery…I need it just to function in the morning! hehe
P.S. You should really think about writing a cookbook! You have so many followers and have some amazing original recipes! You could do a whole section on just granola!
I JUST decided to become a certified PT! I would so love to start a BodyPump class. I miss it way too much.
and I meant to tell you… I finally made my smoothie with FROZEN bananas (hello, advance planning, finally) instead of regular… holy better consistency!
That’d be awesome if you got certified to teach! I’m sure you’d be great at it. Goood luck on the houses!
I think you would be a great body pump teacher!!! And good luck house hunting! Fingers crossed that today’s the day that you find your dream house!! And mm I love adding coffee to smoothies! I had one for breakfast yesterday!
I’m envious it only takes a little bit of caffeine to affect you, I’m practically immune to it — but hey, I guess college will do that to you!
You should so look into becoming a body pump instructor, I’m sure a lot of habitants in Ocala would be grateful!
you should TOTALLY become a pump teacher. I am starting yoga training in Oct so that I can teach and one day open my own studio!
xoxo
Lo
You should totally get certified in pump!! I am going for my RPM next month and then pump. Love it!!
Now I am craving coffee-ified flavas!!!
Hey you know what, I was about to suggest that you teach Bodypump! That could be a great idea and altenative. I hope you’ll find a place to live soon.
Cute hair!! I sure HOPE you try and get certified with BodyPUMP. It has changed my life. For reals 🙂
Good luck with the house hunt!!
That is so excited that you might start to teach bodypump! I would love to see how your perspective on the class changes if you become an instructor!
Good luck house hunting today!
Julie,
I just took the plunge and did the training for Body Pump a few weeks ago…I am still working on perfecting everything and hoping to pass to become an instructor by this fall.
It was a lot more mental than I thought, but I think it will be sooo fun if/once I finally get it all down.
If you have any questions about it, just let me know.
Good luck with the housing hunting!
Stephanie
thanks, stephanie!
