Better Late Than Never
Unfortunately Ryan forgot to change the alarm time from 6:30 a.m., which is what if was set for on Friday, to 5:30 a.m. this morning. Around 6:15 a.m., I heard an “Uh oh…” from his side of the bed when he realized his mistake.
Though I was a little disappointed about missing my typical 5:45 a.m. BodyPump class, I still figured I could get in a decent workout on my own. We arrived at the gym 45 minutes later than usual, but hey – better late than never, right?
My morning workout looked like this:
Total-Body Weights Workout
(Once again, the weight noted is the total weight used. Ex: I used two 15 lb. dumbbells for chest press, totaling 30 lbs.)
I alternated the exercises in groups of two (super-sets), up until leg extensions. (Ex: I did one set of step ups, then one set of shoulder raises before repeating the sequence two times to complete the exercises).
Post-Work out Walk
After the gym, Ryan joined me and Sadie on our morning walk.
Typical Morning Walk
Special Guest
It was such a treat to have some extra time with him in the morning.
I think Sadie was more than thrilled to have the extra company as well.
Breakfast
Breakfast this morning was a good one!
I started with a yogurt bowl that included fresh blackberries and blueberries.
Yogurt Bowl
I topped the mix with Gerber Graduates strawberry apple puffs. Yes, it’s baby cereal, and yes, it’s delicious. 
Close Up
I also enjoyed a homemade chocolate chip muffin that I made last night.
When I went to my friend Laurel’s apartment to hang out yesterday, our friend Merri brought over a ton of food from her pantry since she and her boyfriend are in the process of moving, and I nabbed the muffin mix!
Chocolate Chip Muffin
When I made the muffins, I added a bunch of white chocolate chips to the mix for some additional chocolate flava.
Moist and Chocolatey
And I should probably add that a peanut butter finger was also enjoyed this morning. 
Typical
Pretty darn tasty!

I love body pump! That’s great you got in a good workout on your own though. Also, what kind of dog is Sadie? She sort of looks like my friend’s Viszla. She’s adorable!

This is going to sound SO odd, but I love baby food, not just the cereal, but the jarred stuff. I could eat it all day. Everyday. Haha
Love the addition of white chocolate chips – that makes it super chocolately, and even better.
I think you made the best out of your morning no matter how late you may have woken up
Enjoy your Monday!!

Worst feeling in the world when you realize you overslept your alarm! At least you could still get in a good workout.
Happy Monday!

lol The baby cereal is too funny. I do’t think I’ve ever tried that stuff. I have however tried baby Um-Um’s and they were terrible hahaha!

I totally thought that was baby cereal! I thought “Huh, looks like what I was feeding my nephew this afternoon!” With the peach version, as he is allergic to strawberries.
