Psssh It Happens

This song had me dancing in my car on the way home from the gym!!

My “psssh it” this morning was that when I got to the gym cycle class was full!!! There I was in my spandex and slip on shoes and no bike to spin 🙁 I decided I could still elliptical in my slip ons (they are slip on NIKE’s so they were fine but not the most supportive), so I did 35 minutes on the ET, 10 on the squirrelliptical and then ended with some hard pull-ups and dips that left my whole upper body exhausted. And some abs! ‘Twas a great workout despite the change in plans.

I was craving more Optimum Slim for breakfast. Love this cereal! And since Fridays are my rush day, cereal it was.

1 cup Optimum Slim + 1/2 cup H2H complete with a cup of strawberries, a cup of vanilla soy milk and walnuts + flax for healthy fat satiety.

IMG_3818 (1024x768)

Plus a cup of coffee today to get me through lab…

See ya for lunch!

    hey i thought no lab today! oh well. (actually it makes me feel a little better. i was jealous about everyones’ weekends starting ridiculously early. i still have 6 hours left of work)

    beautiful cereal. + good job at not letting small setbacks at the gym get in your way of a workout.

    I love the texture of flax on cereal. Too bad about the cycle class…but that says a lot about how great it is – people can’t stay away!

    Love the song, and hate when that happens at the gym!!! Mentally , I am not as excited about working out after that happens…good for you for still working out anyways!

    BTW, I love the placemat! I worked at Williams-Sonoma a couple of years ago for the holiday season just for fun and they had that line with the tablecloth, napkins, everything, and I really liked it! Looks good with your breakfast!

    I hate it when I have this great gym workout planned in my head, and I’m all hyped up for it, and then I get there and all of the machines are taken. I try to sign up ahead of time or plan to go during off hours, but sometimes it doesn’t work out.

    I’ve been loving the strawberries as well lately. They are great for bulking up a half cup of slow churned ice cream – my new dessert of choice.

    yeah I also hate when I can’t do what I want at the gym…usually it’s because people are on my machines. I go to a small, family-owned gym and while it’s not fancy, I love it because it doesn’t get as crowded as the premium gyms. I almost never have to wait for anything, so I get so mad when I go! I know I usually just do something different though, like you did today.

    Happy Friday 🙂

    Thanks!

    julie ,
    Geez, my brain must be full because I don’t even know what you’re talking about! I think Matt was making a SP bread? He wasn’t happy with it, and he hasn’t redone the recipe yet. I’ll poke him when he gets home.

    polly ,
    SO COOL!

    Don’t you just hate that when that happens at the gym!? Such a mood-crusher! Glad to hear you were still able to get in some great exercise despite the set-back.

    I know! Isn’t that cereal great!? It’s such a unique blend of ingredients! I tried it a few months ago and have permanently added it to my cereal stash.
