The day after a holiday weekend is a fun one, right?
Ehhh…
Though I absolutely adore weekends, sometimes it really does feel good to get back into the swing of things and back into a routine… especially when you start your work day by jamming to the Wicked station on Pandora.
Songs from Disney’s Hercules keep popping up today and I can’t help but think Hercules may be one of the most underappreciated animated Disney movies.
I never even saw it until Ryan and I bought it in college (don’t judge) because it’s his all-time favorite Disney movie and I had to check it out.
The songs from Hercules are awesome!
In case you were a fan of my Disney workout playlist, here are some Hercules songs I recommend adding to your rotation:
- Zero to Hero <—My favorite
- The Gospel Truth <— Seems like a song that should be in Sister Act II
- I Can Go the Distance <— Slow but great for a long run
Workout
Before my workday began, Ryan and I hit the gym at 5:30 a.m. for a quality workout.
I completed a five-mile run. Ryan ran two miles beside me on the treadmill before he hit the weights for a leg workout.
My five miles weren’t nearly as painful as my weekday runs last week. When I take a lot of time away from running regularly the first handful of runs I set out to complete are always pretty darn miserable (just being honest), but my running groove slowly returns and they’re not quite as daunting.
I hope they continue to feel less and less taxing!
Breakfast
Today’s breakfast was a fall favorite.
A couple of spoonfuls of almond butter were also consumed while the oats were cooking.
Off to tackle today’s to-do list.
Stay tuned for a Blog Talk Tuesdays revival! I took the week off from the series last week because I was not in the right frame of mind last Tuesday, but it’s returning in full force today.
P.S. The Fashion page was updated!

I’ve never even heard of the Disney Hercules movie! I thought I’d seen them all. Fail.
I just bought my first can of pumpkin yesterday and can’t wait to make my first bowl of oatmeal with it. Love the fall!
ah i tried to find pumpkin this weekend at the store and could not.
pretty mad!! probably need to explore around! pumpkin sounds so yummy right now!
Totally agree that movie is forgotten about all the time. Now I have the music stuck in my head!
I LOVE HERCULES. Totally underrated.
loveeee hercules! my friend and i watched that the first night in my apartment : ) its definitely forgotten about, along with the hunchback of notre dame!
Yumm I love adding pumpkin to my oats!
I’m loving the Wicked station on Pandora! Ever since you suggested it a few months ago I’ve been jammin’ out to it at work!! Hercules is absolutely underrated, great music!
Can’t wait for Blog Talk Tuesday, I just started my own blog! A great topic to cover would be privacy/legal issues of posting pictures! Do I have to give photo credit?? Do I ask friends if its ok to put their picture on my blog? thanks!!
I’ve never seen Hercules. My favorite Disney movies were The Little Mermaid and Aladdin!
Honestly I’ve only seen half of the movie Hercules. I was watching it with my friends one morning after a sleepover but then I had to leave and never saw the rest..and that was years ago! 😛
Mhmm! I love adding pumkin to my oats..soo good! 😀
I have never seen Hercules! Might be the only Disney movie I haven’t.
I’ve never seen Hercules either! How fun that you were listening to the Wicked pandora station! I’m going to have to put that on a little later myself! And those pumpkin oats look so delicious! Hello Fall!!!
YES to the Hercules soundtrack! confession: i used to listen to “I Can Go the Distance” before cross country races in high school. dorky but true : )
Oh gosh, the Wicked station is such a winner. I’ve always loved Hercules. I mean, Michael Bolton on the soundtrack? Can’t go wrong 🙂
I love Hercules! We used to call the half-up/half-down hairstyle “Megera” hair. Pretty sure I wore my hair like that 90% of the time haha. [The other 10% may or may not have been me rocking the Baby Spice hair do]
I keep waiting for Hercules to come out in a special edition (I refuse to buy it until it does because I just know the second I do they will FINALLY do it). It’s totally underappreciated. Hercules is one my FAVORITES!!
gahhh I am so glad someone else loves this movie! Favorite Disney movie everr!!
It is getting cold up in chicago, and the first thing I broke out was the pumpkin..and my sweatshirts lol!
I had the exact same thing for breakfast today!
I threw some pumpkin into my breakfast this morning, too. I cannot express how happy it makes me that pumpkin is back!
I had never seen Hercules until I taught a mythology unit to my students & showed it to them.
There’s this one part where instead of saying “Call 911” they say “Call IX I I” hahahahaha
That movie is a favorite in our house! Hercules is the name of our shitzu…ironic I know…he is a big man in a little dog body ;D.
Totally agree on the Hercules!! One of my favorite Disney movies. James Woods as Hades? Classic! And the music is awesome.
I love Mulan too. Probably one of my top favorite Disney movies.
Woo Hoo! I just bought pumpkin for tomorrow’s pumpkin oats!
Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and Aladdin are my faves but growing up I watched Cinderella non stop!
Aaaah Hercules is definitely one of my fave disney films!!
I seriously love how obsessed you are with Disney songs – I am too! I was on a bachelorette trip last weekend and my iPod was hooked up while we were all getting ready for a night out…I forgot Disney songs were on my playlist and a song from Beauty and the Best popped on. My friends were LESS than enthused!! 🙂
🙂 I myself am a fan of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Another VERY unappreciated Disney movie. 🙂
Hercules is my favorite disney movie. EVER. I went as Megara to my sorority’s disney date function
