I slept for 10.5 hours last night. And it was glorious.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve slept that long, but it felt absolutely fantastic. After two nights of less-than-stellar sleep in Savannah during my sister’s bachelorette party, I could barely keep my eyes open at 7:45 p.m. last night and put myself to bed at 8 p.m. I slept like a rock and woke up feeling like a new woman today.
Leslie’s bachelorette party was a blast and I think she had a wonderful time. Seventeen girls attended and we had a great time exploring Savannah and celebrating Leslie together. I’ll be sure to share a full recap soon!
Workout
Ryan and I both have the day off of work today in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., so we slept in and didn’t make it to the gym until 8 a.m. My workout looked a lot like last Thursday’s 50 Rep Workout though I included squats instead of the chest presses and omitted the kettlebell swings. It was a good one and Ryan and I both left looking nice and sweaty.
Breakfast
On our way home from the gym, we took our sweaty selves to Cup O’ the Irish, our favorite local coffee shop.
A chocolate peanut butter and banana smoothie + A cappuccino = A lovely hot + cold start to the day!
Cup O’ the Irish does a great job of making a fabulous cappuccino with almond milk. I know it’s hard to get a lot of foam with almond milk, so I always leave impressed with their almond milk cappuccino-making skills.
Hope you guys have a great Monday!

Sleeping in until 8? Lately, I’ve been sleeping in until 10 on the weekends (normally get up at 5:30 during the week). I need to reset my body clock!
Alison @ Daily Moves and Grooves says

Hope you guys had a great trip!
karla @ finding my fit says
That’s how I was on Friday night. Despite having to get up at 6:30 to get ready for a funeral I still managed to get around 10 hours of sleep on a Friday night.
My internal alarm clock didn’t let me sleep in today even though I wanted to. It’s alright I have been productive!

nothing better than a good night’s sleep
Sanaz @runforcake says
Sleep is such a wonderful thing! I didn’t know how much I loved sleep until I had a baby. 🙂 I love that you feel like sleeping until 8:30 is sleeping in. You will have no problem with motherhood 🙂

Runner Girl Eats says
I loovveee Savannah but even more than that I love 10 hours of sleep. I am running on empty after a weekend of traveling for bridal shower activites so can’t wait until I can doze off for a solid night of zzz’s.
Laura @ RunningJunkie says
I am tired just looking at that workout!! I’ve never done a bosu ball burpee, but I feel like picking it up 50 times is intense, and that’s just the first move!
Annie @ Annie Get Your Run says
Is the coffee shop a chain? I’d love to try it next time I’m in FL, but we always go to St. Pete!
Kayla Hoffman says
Almond milk caps are the bestest! My place only does soy milk and I avoid certain types of soy like the plague. I usually end up with nonfat milk. Now… I wonder if we could get a pb banana cap whipped up. Kinda like your smoothie and a cap all inone!
Lissa says
Just wondering, do you usually eat before you go workout? I was thinking about trying early morning workouts this year but I don’t know if I should eat before or work out on an empty stomach, thanks!
Kelsey @ Ramblings of Change says
After all my flying today (the 22), I could use that much sleep! Maybe I’ll get lucky when I get home…and those cafe drinks sound amazing.
