Today is Wednesday and that means I got to take my favorite TRX class at the gym this morning!
Before heading into the 30-minute class, I completed a 20 minute elliptical workout that included lots of inclines and got my heart rate up.
The TRX class was the highlight of today’s workout and included four circuits of two exercises each that we completed for 30 seconds for a total of three rounds.
- Circuit One: TRX squat jumps, Running on and off Bosu ball
- Circuit Two: TRX push ups, Hopping over Bosu ball
- Circuit Three: TRX skaters, Tricep pushps
- Circuit Four: TRX plank, Side plank on Bosu ball
Breakfast
After the gym, I was ready to eat!
Thanks to some prep work last night, breakfast came together in a flash. I topped a bowl of overnight oats with a sprinkling of sunflower seeds and butterscotch chips.
The sunflower seeds were roasted and salted and I loved the salty flavor that they brought to an otherwise rather sweet breakfast. I was also a fan of the added crunch since I’m a texture-lovin’ girl.
Weirdest Spam Emails
I loved reading about all of your morning computer routines yesterday and as I read through the comments, I thought of another computer-related topic that might be interesting!
Spam emails.
I get two different completely crazy spam emails repeatedly that make me laugh. I’ve labeled the emails as spam time and time again and yet they seem to slip through the cracks about two times a month.
One comes from my “ex” and is rather hateful and steamy. You’ve been warned!
I’ve never clicked the link, don’t you worry. And my parents have yet to receive a copy of “our best scenes.”
The other is probably the most amusing spam email I get over and over again and is simply a food order.
It cracks me up. The food order actually changes, which is probably the most amusing part of this particular spam email. Last month they were apparently craving Italian and requested lasagna.
At my old job, I used to get a ton of spam emails. I wrote about pharmaceuticals and side effects, so my email address was a fantastic target for emails about all different kinds of drugs. You better believe they got forwarded around the office. Very amusing!
Question of the Morning
- What is the weirdest spam email you’ve ever received?
Those emails are probably the weirdest spam emails I’ve received in a while, but I get some pretty stellar press releases sent my way that pitch some awesomely horrific products.
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
haha, those are pretty weird! I never really open mine to see what they say. But maybe I should start if they are amusing 🙂
i just get a “preview” in gmail so i get a lovely little glimpse w/o even opening them. oddly amusing!
the ex email reminds me of the “would you rather” game with the question, “would you rather watch a porn with your parents, or starring your parents?”
or the ever popular, “would you rather have your parents walk in on you knockin’ boots or walk in on your parents?” gaaag.
Julie, you just said “knockin boots” and I love you all the more for it.
Agree that just made my morning!
OMG those are hilarious!! My spam isn’t nearly as interesting. Sometimes I get emails with links in the subject line that I just delete, and I often get one that claims it’s the US Postal Service informing me that the package I sent couldn’t be delivered. Strange, since I live in Canada and don’t think I’ve ever sent anything via the US Postal Service (without going thru Canada Post first)!
HAHAHAHAH That “order” email just made me laugh out loud!
I got a really random phone call yesterday from “Wal-Mart”, which wanted to send me a $100 gift card for filling out an online survey (ummm, never did that..)….and the first thing they asked for was my social security number. No thanks. I wonder WHERE these things come from!
So amusing 🙂
LOLOLOL…those spam emails are too funny! I don’t even click into the spam emails, just check them and delete but now I’m kind of curious if they are as weird as the ones above, lol.
Haha I love the food order spam! I wish I got cooler spam emails like you! Mine are all standard and boring..
Haha! I got that “ex” spam email before too! I get a lot of random spam emails too. I love reading through them because they are so funny.
haha those are hilarous! Mine usually just are people who can’t speak English properly and throw random words in where they see fit, but don’t fit at all!
Hahahaha! Those are WAY too funny! My spam is never that interesting! 🙁 Hahaha!
I haven’t gotten any quite that funny! Mine are always offering jobs that sound WAY too good to be true, like writing reviews or doing online work for hundreds an hour!
hahaha i get both of those! love. the breakup one is particularly amusing.
LOL I love the food one, wish I got that one. For some reason I always get the penis enlargement ones, and they go to my work email which is more weird. I get a penis enlargement one like once a month :S lol
I don’t really check my SPAM folder (I get stuff from people I don’t know filtered out), but when I was in junior high (I think. Email was still realtively new), I got this email, with my name, from these people saying these really abusive things to me. Being the little wannabe investigative reporter I was at the time, I made use of the lame AOL search engine I had, and managed to find out they were trying to harrass another Becky in New Jersey. I sometimes wonder what happened with her.
I rarely check my spam folders but I sure get some hilarious spam comments on the blog! I think my favorite was one about proposing to someone at Applebees.
The spam comments I receive on my blog crack me up too but the best are search engine terms…today i got ‘Mexican meals over 1000 calories’…Er they’ve come to the wrong place. 😉
The weirdest spam comment i got on my email was some random person professing his love for me. 0_0. I was freaked out. That oatmeal looks so delicious!
My senior year of vet school a spammer somehow got ahold of our entire class email list and would send out a ton of emails for Viagra-type products. One email in particular that one of my classmates received promised to “strengthen your sword so you can win more sexual battles.” We laughed about that one for weeks. 🙂
I definitely don’t get any spam that funny! Mine are all sexual enhancement, fake post office/package delivery info or messages that say I have large sums of money just waiting for me…
I don’t ever check my spam folder but I have been getting random emails from people thinking I’m some sort of sports coach for a high school. I’m not sure which sport either because they’re always really vague. Your food orders are hilarious though!
I get a ton from “INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND” telling me I have $9,000,000 to collect and they ask me for all my information. But the best I get are the ones where the subject lines read “Enlarge your Penis”. OK. Wonderful, I don’t even have one so how would I enlarge it?
I like to scan my spam folder from time to time for entertainment purposes. Then I select all and delete. Recently I accidentally hit “Not Spam” instead of delete and sent 200 spam emails to my own inbox! oops!!!
Love spam emails. The ones about winning an obscene about of money and forwarding my bank information is my favorite. Who actually falls for those?!
OMG that food order one cracks me up HARD. Too funny! Can you please post ALL of the different food orders you get? Hahaha.
I honestly can’t recall any really crazy email span messages, but I keep receiving the weirdest packages in the mail telling me I’m eligible to win $250,000. Weird thing is that it comes from Homemakers Magazine, so I don’t know if it’s actually a total scam, but it’s VERY odd. There are literally like 20 pages that are all SO wordy and confusing and basically say that I’ve been narrowed down to the final batch of contestants but that I have to send in all these different forms, etc. So weird!
Oh, those spam comments are amazing! I have all my spam go right into a folder that I don’t think I’ve ever even opened. I’m thinking tonight I’ll have to take a look through to see if there are any gems.
We had two great TRX stations at my gym, but we don’t have a class. I am email Gold’s Gym right now and asking!? lol
I love teh ordering food one, that would be really amusing!
For about 6 years (not exaggeration), I received fan emails from various accounts because the people writing thought I was Tony Danza. Seriously. You cannot make this stuff up! It probably would have continued, but I closed that email account. I was sick of people asking if I still keep in touch with Alyssa Milano! LOL.
At least those are funny! I’ve gotten some really disturbing gross ones from people in different parts of the country. I guess that’s what I get for being a bikini competitor but sometimes it’s scary. Like, were these people taught no manners at all?
Hahah! I always get spam saying that I’ve won something. “You’ve won $500,000 and a cruise around the world!” I only wish I was that lucky!
Ahh these are hilarious! I get spam but it just goes directly in the spam folder so I never see them… I’m kind of sad about it. I think I’m going to go check my spam folder haha, there’s something I thought I’d never say.
My grandmother (bless her) was looking for new furniture and wanted to look at the store Hooker Furniture (I don’t know if that’s a national brand, but here in SC it’s a store). Well, obviously not thinking she typed in “www.HOOKER.com”….i’ll let you imagine where that went. Turns out the website was “hookerfurniture.com”….I think she was scarred for life hahahah!
I think she did get some spam emails from this site. I guess she was on the page long enough or something for them to acquire her email address!
A similar thing happened to a friend of mine who was looking to buy some golf balls from Dick’s Sporting Goods online. Not a good day for him!
hahaha I was going to say the same thing about Dick’s Sporting Goods. By boyfriend had a gift card and was talking about what he wanted to buy so I tried to pull up what I thought was the website, clearly without thinking first. I’m pretty sure Dick’s Sporting goods has since bought out their shortname url..
omg hahaha! The only spam I get are ones telling me how awesome of a writer I am… I’m always like..who are you?! haha
I love that you added butterscotch to your oats haha I recently got butterscotch extract.. sooo yummy 🙂
Bahahahaha. The ex one is so threatening! Love it.
Kkkkkk so weird~i always wonder who comes up with those messages. I’ve gotten some fitunny ones but your first one beats them all.
Ha! Those are great! All I ever get are the viagra ads, and nigerian money scams. Its strange how many foreign diplomats and missionaries get stranded in foreign countries without any money or way to get home. 😉 Its also strange that they all seem to have my email address!
LOL! The food email is SO random and hilarious!
I get a lot of emails telling me my diplomat has arrived, and I’m to pick them up at the airport. I don’t ever recall ordering a diplomat 😉
Also, regarding food orders, my cell phone is very nearly the same number as a local pizza place. I get calls all the time for them!!! Just once, after having received three previous food orders that day and politely re-directing the people to the correct number, I finally answered the phone, took the person’s order, and hung up.
Haha! That is great Jackie! I used to get calls for another person all the time, I sometimes told them that the person they were trying to reach was in the shower and would have to call them back later. I never knew who the person was, maybe someone had my cell number before I did? Who knows!
The game I play with spam is trying to identify it before I open it. It gives me a sense that I outwitted them and that I foiled them once again. Occassionally they get me, and they are always getting more creative, but I learn…oh, I learn…lol
lol those are too funny! My spam folder is pretty good at catching ridiculous emails, but I might have to browse through them just for some laughs.
Apart from the occasional Nigerian prince money scam, I don’t get much in the way of amusing spam but those are absolutely hysterical. Now I’m off to go through my spam folders! 😀
Those are hilarious. I usually get some that involve crazy things–but not like that!
Your emails are hilarious!! They´ve made my day!!
Your breakfast looks amazing… I´ve tried making overnight oats several times and it never looks like that! YUMM for butterscotch chips… we don´t have those in Peru 🙁
Hahaha that ex one kills me! I wish I got funny spam mail. And I can’t say I know of anyone who would sign an e-mail from “Your Ex” haha. Nice try though!
HAHAHA the food order one..thats funny! I get the same spam e-mail every couple of days…it always says “You have won a steak dinner!”
It doesn’t even tell where…i just won one. Ridic spams
I always get spam emails trying to order grilled chicken salads for someone’s aunt’s birthday party.
Those are hilarious! I never bother to check my spam mail, but if they’re this funny maybe I should start.
Haha I love the food order one! I have gotten similar “ex-boyfriend” spammers as well as former classmates 😛 Didn’t realize my “bad-girl” past caught up with me 😉
Ha! I love that the food order changes. Such thorough spamming! I get spam blog comments from one source in particular (I traced it back to a porn website, shocker) that always mentions something I ate and then says they would add oatmeal to it. For example, “You know what makes my wine taste better? Oatmeal!”
Random 🙂
Ohh those butterscotch chips in your oatmeal look delicious and like the perfect sweet touch! Your spam emails crack me up! I usually just scan the email address and if it looks weird, immediately delete, rather than even reading any of it. But I did get one about some man trying to buy bibles in Africa… that one almost convinced me but then I figured it was probably spam:(
I want to try TRX so bad! Also, Butterscotch chips are basically god… i am obsessed with them ALWAYS.
