Last night was full of Latin food and lots of laughs!
Ryan and I got together with our friends Brittney, Cara, Casey and Dustin for chips, salsa and a delicious Latin dinner at Latinos y Mas.
I went to bed with a very full belly!
Workout
Today started out with a Saturday morning workout at the gym. Ryan and I began with 20 minutes on the elliptical before hopping off to each do our own thing.
I opted for a slightly shortened version of my 1000 rep workout. I am seriously loving that workout! I omitted some of the upper body strength moves since I did lots of arm exercises at the gym yesterday, but left nice and sweaty anyway.
Breakfast
If you’re a long-time blog reader, you might remember Ryan’s love affair with McDonald’s hotcakes. He thinks their pancakes are the best thing goin’ and after the gym, he swung by McDonald’s to pick up breakfast for himself.
I opted for an iced coffee.
Then we had to make a pit stop at Tas-T-O’s doughnuts because I wanted to grab one of their unbelievably delicious apple fritters to bring to Orlando today for my friend Laurel for her birthday celebration.
If you think I have willpower of steel and can stop by Tas-T-O’s and not get an apple fritter for myself, you are mistaken.
The breakfast of champions.
Just to give you guys a little glimpse into the doughy, cinnamon-swirl deliciousness that makes a Tas-T-O’s apple fritter the best darn fritter in the world, I cut into it.
Drooling may commence now:
Let’s hope the apple fritter I bought for Laurel actually makes it to Orlando!
Off to walk Sadie with Ryan before hopping in the shower and driving back to my old stomping grounds.
Enjoy your Saturday!

yummy lookin’ fritter!
I love your 1000 rep workout! I have just started incorperating some strength training and love your workouts! I did your arms and abs this week too:-)
That fritter looks AMAZING!!! Have a great day 🙂
I bet Laurel will be a very happy girl once she sees that little prezzie! Have a great weekend Julie and drive safe! 🙂
You are definitely right about the drooling. SO jealous!!
Holy cow that looks sinful!
I’m not usually an apple fritter fan, but that looks pretty good!
I’m going to have to check out your 1000 rep workout soon–I think I’m going to make a special trip to the gym today just to give it a shot!
I’ve actually never had an apple fritter! I feel like I’m probably missing out….
Well hopefully your annoucement on your blog will keep you accountable, and that other fritter will get to your friend haha! But good luck … I’d have a hard time controlling myself!! 😉
Best breakfast I’ve seen yet on PBF 🙂
If you aren’t a great friend, I don’t know who is! A special stop for an A-mazing looking apple fritter….true friendship, right there 🙂
Omg that fritter looks insaneeeeeeeee!
Hi this is kind of random but I’m just curious. How heavy are the weights that you lift? I know strength training is essential for toning and sculpting the body and I’d just like to know if you have certain weights that you use all the time or you vary the weight depending on the exercise or day.
I love your blog and I read it all the time! Thank you so much!
That apple fritter looks amazing! They are one of my all time favorite bakery items that I (usually) can’t pass up.
I love my overnight oats but I’m kind of wishing I were eating that fritter instead this morning!
I freakin LOVE apple fritters and that one looks AMAZING!
wowee – that apple fritter looks to DIE for! yum! laurel is one lucky friend!
I’m not a big fan of apple fritters, but I would struggle to pass up a caked donut. I’m really lucky that most of the time when I pass the nearest donut shop, I’m on my way to boot camp and can’t stop!
omg…fritters are one of the GREATEST donuts EVER! I don’t know what it is about them but they are so amazing…I am definitely drooling..into my oatmeal 🙁
Haha! Love Mary’s comment above me! Holy crap I haven’t had a donut in years! My favorite has always been jelly, but I could lower my standards for this too! ;o)
I love apple fritters! There’s a mom and pop shop near my house that makes that fresh every day, and they are definitely hard to resist.
Yum–I love McDonald’s Iced Coffe! Have a great weekend Julie! 🙂
Wow that is one big apple fritter, looks yummy. Have a great weekend. ^_^
That fritter looks amazing! It looks like you had a wonderful time last night, I love date nights with other couples and Mexican food!
I have never actually had an apple fritter but it looks and sounds completely delicious. I’m pretty sure that’s one thing I would ignore my gluten intolerance for.
Apple fritters are my favorite and that one looks worthy of a try!
oh. my. doughy goodness! that looks amazing!! even with your high energy workouts … how in the world can you eat all that yummy food and still stay soooo tiny!! 🙂
That fritter looks delicious! my favorite Donut shop is in Cape Cod, Mass 🙂
Love your blog, Julie! But I’m a little mad at you because now I NEED an apple fritter! lol
Just saw you mentioned in Lulu’s blog for one of your smoothies, congrats!

1) That fritter looks godsent. We just got a Dunkin Donuts at the bottom of my office building and they gave us free donuts for a week.. bad news.
2) I did your ab/shoulder superset workout yesterday and my abs are screaming. Thanks!
I’ve never tried an apple fritter!! And…this may sound like a really DUH thought–but I still wonder if apple fritters have apples…haha. It seems like your 1000 workout is really a success! 😀
That fritter looks epic!
Apple fritters were always my fav and I haven’t had one in years. I was excited to see them at Walmart when we stopped on the way to my sisters. Alas, it was a terrible let down. (Serious, I should know I wouldn’t get a great fritter without going to a donut shop) No apples, just fried dough ;(
That is so funny that ryan loves mickey Ds pancakes.. Brent (my husband) does to! Men… haha! That apple fritter looks AMAZING!
That fritter looks awesome. Surprisingly the only way I like cooked apples is in a fritter or when its in applesauce. I hate chunks of apples cooked otherwise. I need to try out that 1000 rep workout, since those are totally my favourite kinds of workouts! I must admit I’m a tad embarrassed to say I have no clue what types of foods are Latin. Yikes. I guess I’ve never had it before
Enjoy your walk with Sadie–she is a machine! Cooper poops out fast these hot days! Must try a McCafe–lil cheaper than my beloved starbucks!
Yummy! Apple fritters are my mom’s favorite 🙂
That fritter looks so good. Super jealous!
I’m drooling! Only after a 1000 rep workout would I feel ok having one of those for breakfast. If I start out eating sweet things I can’t stop all day!
I’ve never had an apple fritter before (I usually like to keep my sweets and my fruits as far away from each other as possible haha) but that looks AMAZING. I might have to try one sometime!
I use to love Mc Donalds pancakes also, especially in my unhealthier eating days. I had a special way I ate them and in a special order- the whipped butter that came with them was also amazing!
Glad you’re having a good weekend. Jenna @ Eat,Live,Run did a review of “Wild” today. I didnt read all of it because I don’t want to spoil the book.
I don’t know if I’ve ever had an apple firtter, but that looks delicious!
That does look good–I don’t usually like donuts, but that one might just be a winner!
have fun with your friends! 🙂
A workout followed by a trip to the bakery…my husband and I love that occasional Saturday morning treat as well!
I don’t think anybody could not want to get one of those fritters for themselves – I’m not even a big fan of them and that looks amazing.
Have a lovely weekend, Julie!
