Pumpkin was the star of the morning in my big bowl of pumpkin oats.
Are you still enjoying pumpkin, or did you retire it after Thanksgiving?
Along with the pumpkin, I added 3/4 scoop of All the Whey cinnamon protein powder to my oats for added sweetness and protein.
I also sipped on a hot mug of sugar cookie tea. This breakfast warmed me right up after a chilly morning walk with Sadie.
Workout
I didn’t feel like putting myself through a decent workout today so I figured I’d let someone else do it for me! After a 10 minute warm up on the elliptical, I took the 6 a.m. spinning class at my gym.
The music was jammin’ today! The Blinded by the Light techno remix always gets me pumped up so I was thrilled when that song came blarin’ through the speakers. Music does so much for me in terms of motivating me to step it up a notch.
Free Einstein Bros. Bagel + Schmear
Because I don’t believe in low carb living, here’s a coupon for a free Einstein Bros. bagel with schmear (aka cream cheese), valid through Sunday. YUM.
Enjoy!
I maxed out on pumpkin this fall, when I had it for EVERY breakfast and snack!
I’m still using pumpkin, too. 🙂
I just made a pumpkins sage pasta with spinach fettucini noodles on Sunday! Never used pumpkin until I started reading your site! Thanks!
I love Einstein bagels…thanks!
I am off the pumpkin kick…haha! I am so bad about just going overboard with it during the holidays that I always need a break for a few months after! Hum…maybe I need to learn that “everything in moderation” rule! haha!
spinning is the best way for me to workout when I’m unmotivated. It’s IMPOSSIBLE to stop once you’re in there with the music.
I’m totally using this coupon tomorrow morning between classes 😉
agreed! i feel too bad leaving a class, so if i can drag my butt in, i’m much more likely to stay!
mmmm Thanks for the coupon.. I wish there was an Einstein close to me!!
I am still rocking the pumpkin
I’m a “pumpkin all year round” kinda girl! In fact this morning, I had toast with peanut butter and pumpkin butter on it. SO good.
Just had pumpkin pancakes this morning! Never goes out of style in my house!
yummmm pumpkin pancakes are my faaaaav.
I also often wonder why pumpkin gets kicked to the curb after Thanksgiving….I could eat it all year!
Pumpkin is def. a year-round staple in my life 🙂
Clueless is my favorite movie!! Love it! :p
P.S. I have the same green mug you used this morning!
yay for target mugs!
I got a bit tired of pumpkin right after thanksgiving haha. Its a one time of a year treat for me!!
PS–I love the word schmear. So fun to say.
I love how you find all these little deals and freebies and share them. I put in a free Kashi bar this week and now maybe a free Bagel? Cool!!!
I’m just like you. Sometime i’m a bit lagging in the motivation so an awesome class (especially spinning) and rockin’ tunes always gets me going.
Have a great day!!!
still using and loving pumpkin!!! Thanks for the einsteins freebie! i wish there was one closer to me 🙁
Yeah. There is no such thing as retiring pumpkin in this house! I put pumpkin pie spices in my oatmeal with vanilla whey year round!! 🙂
Pumpkin is definitely still in use in my life (at least at home …)
I love Einstein’s!! Thanks for the coupon link!
