I made a simple breakfast sandwich using two Eggo Nutrigrain waffles as my “bread.” I smeared a Laughing Cow light Swiss cheese wedge on one waffle before topping it with a slice of Canadian bacon. I added two egg whites to the other waffle half and voilà!
The waffles added a little extra spunk and were a neat change from the typical English muffin or bagel-based breakfast sandwich.
Workout
I got a late jump on today’s workout, but it was intentional. It’s amazing how waking up at 6:30 a.m. feels like a treat! I guess when you’re used to hoping out of bed at 5:30 a.m. every morning, that extra hour makes a difference.
What time do you wake up in the morning?
Though I’m tempted to go to BodyPump three days a week as my only form of strength training, I am trying to go two times and do my own total-body weights routine one day to keep the ol’ bod guessing. Today my workout looked like this:
- 25 min. cardio (10 min. run, 5 min. incline walking, 10 min. stair master)
- Hamstring curls
- Leg press
- Leg extensions
- Deadlifts
- Bicep curls
- Tricep extensions
- Shoulder raises
- Ab work on exercise ball
Unfortunately my extra sleep time cut into Sadie’s walk time a little bit, but Ryan and I have plans to take her to the dog park tonight to expend some of her never-ending energy.
Happy Friday! 😀

Your workout routine sounds great! I am awful at strength training and have just started Body Pump to rev it up a bit…but I hardly do any on my own! Do you have a good go-to routine?
Anna says
I love body pump! Such a great workout!

I’ve been eating eggs lately like it’s my job. I’ve never tried them on a waffle though. Sounds yummy.

I am up at 5:30 on the days that I go to the gym. On the days I am not at the gym its around 6:30.
I am at my desk by about 8, so my morning routine is pretty quick.

I usually wake up around 6 and agree sleeping in an extra half hour or waking up a half hour earlier can feel like a world of a difference! That egg waffle thing is looking good!
Kyla says
Loving these waffle ideas:)
anything fun planned for the weekend?
Kelly says
Yum!! I wake up every morning at 4:30! I have to be at the gym at 5:15 to open! It sounds early but once you have done it for long enough you don’t even think about it anymore. It is just a normal thing to me now!

Can you believe I’ve never had a waffle sandwich?? I need to change that ASAP.

Dianne says
I know exactly what I’m having for breakfast tomorrow morning now! I usually do the same thing in a wrap but the waffle idea sounds delish! Thanks!

I get up around 5:15 every day so I can run and head off to teach 🙂 A lot of people think I’m crazy that I’m up that early daily but the days that I am able to run BEFORE I go teach are SO much better than days I don’t so it’s worth it to me.
No excuses! 🙂
