Sometimes the surprises are smile-inducing comments and emails from readers and sometimes they’re simply crappy.
No, seriously.
Poop!
As I was snapping pictures of my breakfast outside this morning, this little dollop found its way onto my placemat.
Gross.
Good thing I had a ferocious beast by my side to scare off the pooping offender before he really let loose.
Oddly enough that little incident wasn’t enough to put me off of my breakfast.
The crapola was far enough away that I felt confident my yogurt bowl went unscathed.
Along with a super-ripe banana, I enjoyed a yogurt bowl that included:
- 1 c. Greek yogurt
- 3/4 c. cottage cheese
- 1 sliced peach
- Pumpkin pie spice
I’m already on my second jar of pumpkin spice this season. It does such a good job of adding so much fall flavor that I cannot seem to get enough of it.
This breakfast was really filling! I blame the protein from the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese coupled with the fiber from the fruit.
Winning combination!
Workout
This breakfast was the perfect post-workout fuel.
This morning’s workout began with 25 minutes of cardio on the elliptical to warm up my legs. It was another chilly morning in Central Florida!
I then headed over to the loft area of my gym for a yoga class. The instructor wasn’t quite as introspective as the instructor I love so much on Thursdays, but I still enjoyed the class and left feeling relaxed and adequately stretched.
Good Day
Today is a good day!
27 years ago Ryan was born. 😀 Stay tuned for a fun birthday post!

Pumpkin pie spice is good but I love cinnamon sooo much that I usually pick that in favor of anything else.
I hope Ryan has a wonderful birthday!

Happy birthday to Ryan!!
lol…that reminds me of my friend encountering some infamous “doo doo” on her head as we made our way from gym class to the main building…oh so many years ago, but it was so funny that I’ve remembered it all these years.
I’m so happy your breakfast was spared, because it looks delicious!!

Kristi says
I have been reading your blog for a few months and can I just say that your blog cracks me up! You are a funny lady! I love your Sadie too! I am at work reading your blog this morning and laughing my arse off!
I may get fired for your hilarity 😉
MelissaNibbles says
Happy Birthday Ryan!
I’m more likely to say “Poop again and I’ll eat your face!” than my pets are. Sad to say, but I’m not as classy as my pets.
peanutbutterfingers says
lol!
Rachel @ The Avid Appetite says
Pumpkin pie spice is a great way to turn up some fall flavor! Can I ask, when you warm up on the elliptical, about how fast do you go?
peanutbutterfingers says
i don’t know how fast i go, but i do the elliptical at a level 10 (the ellipticals at my gym go up to 20, so it’s not that hard) & i keep the at incline level 9 (again the ellipticals go up to 20).
Amy @ VitaminAmy says
Thank goodness you or your breakfast weren’t pooed on! That would have been a tragic Tuesday morning for sure! Happy Birthday to Ryan :-D.
Chelsea at Striking Balance says
Happy birthday, Ryan! Hope you have a great day 🙂
PS. yuck to the poop, but that wouldn’t have detered me either. As long as it wasn’t in my breakfast, nothing will get in the way of me and my food!
Holly says
Happy Birthday Ryan!
Angela says
Julie!! Don’t post poop! I almost lost my breakfast! Funny – yes, but maybe a spoiler might help. Hahaha.

Lisa says
Ew thats so gross about the poop! At least that didn;t happen inside your breakfast bowl! Ew, imagine!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
That yogurt bowl looks pretty delish but I don’t think I would be able to eat it after the poop incident, lol. By the way, there is a lot of…well..poop in the blogworld today. Have you read Caitlin’s post yet?? lol
Jamie @ Food in Real Life says
Happy bday Ryan! I think the bird was probably just trying to send him birthday wishes too. We all express ourselves differently. 🙂 The great thing about photography is that it can be super deceiving. If you never told us, I would have had no idea there was poop in the vicinity of your breakfast! Thanks for keepin it real girlfriend.
Naomi(onefitfoodie) says

Quinn Carouthers says
VERY nice article, I will be using some of these tips.
Jess says
Happy birthday Ryan! Do you consider nuts and raisins a good snack?
peanutbutterfingers says
absolutely! i like grape more than raisins though, but that’s just a personal preference.
