Fist Pump Friday

TGIF!

I am so happy it’s Friday I can’t even tell you. Add to that it’s a rest day on the training plan! :)

Last night we watched the Jersey Shore premiere and let me just say I cannot WAIT for this season to play out.

 

 

  • Situation and Snooki? Really? Did he have to tell Ronnie in the most creepy way possible?
  • Was anyone else gagging at the end when Pauly and Deena did that weird things with their mouths together? (I’m sorry, but that just can’t be defined as kissing. It looked painful and weird. Pauly looked miserable.)
  • Did JWoww get really skinny or have something done to her face? Something seems off.
  • Can anyone else not wait for the Ron/Situation throw down? This just screams quality television to me.

We obviously enjoyed a homemade Italian feast while watching our favorite cast in their “motherland” (a term I use loosely because I’m pretty sure JWOWW isn’t even Italian.)

Easily one of our best yet.

  • BBQ Sauce
  • Chopped Chicken
  • Red onion
  • Spinach
  • Fresh Rosemary
  • Mozzarella and Romano cheese
  • Pesto brushed on the crust
  • TJ’s Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

Since no one told SF it’s actually August, it still looks like January outside, so for breakfast (and to go with the merino WOOL sweater I had to wear to combat hypothermia) I went with some piping hot oats.

Nothing screams summertime like hot oats and wool sweaters.

  • 1/2 c oats
  • Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • spoonful almond butter
  • cinnamon
  • fresh blueberries

Delicious breakfast! I’d still rank it behind smoothies but these oats definitely showed up as a contender today.

Off to get some work done…. enjoy your Friday!

 

Do you watch Jersey Shore? What are your thoughts?

If not, what’s your favorite reality TV show?

 

 

Almond Butter Makes The World Go Round

TGIF! Who else is beyond ready for the weekend?

(Shameless plug – I have a guest post up over at Sweet Tooth Sweet Life if you’re looking for any workout apparel ideas on a budget!)

I awoke bright and early this morning (think pre-6am) to be at the office for a 7:30 call.

Working East Coast accounts is a blast when you work in San Francisco. ;-)

Rather than wake boyfriend up at the ungodly hour my alarm went off, I opted against making breakfast and just grabbed some essentials and hit the road.

I miraculously was able to make a cup of coffee without running into or dropping anything. Quite the feat.

I decided it was imperative I get a latte and oatmeal this morning so I popped into Starbucks.

I rationalized that since it was 6:51am, freezing, foggy and Friday… that it was totally worth it.

Breakfast included:

  • Tall (1 Pump) Skinny Vanilla Latte

 

I really need to figure out how to use the DSLR and stop with the iPhone pictures!

I love oatmeal, but on its own, it’s not exactly that filling for me.

Aside from the fact that I am obsessed with it, the Justin’s Nut Buttah adds a bunch of much-needed protein, and quite frankly, just tastes amazing and I would have added 4 more packets if I had them.

The blueberries sweetened the entire breakfast up and added a full serving of fruit… to which I will never complain! (Gotta get ‘em when I can!)



SO tasty, and SO filling!

I’m off to get some work done before I lace velcro up the ‘ol Spinning Shoes for a lunchtime workout with my lovely friend Lexi!

Have a great Friday!

What are your workout plans today? Do you usually take Friday as a rest day or power through it with a workout? Are you as obsessed with Justin’s Maple Almond Butter as I am?
