Fridays are officially my favorite day of the week. Yes, I know part of the day is spent at work, but I love the excitement in the air and the anticipation of two days away from the office.
Plus, my gym offers my favorite boot camp class on Friday mornings!
Before the class, Ryan and I completed 20 minute of cardio split between incline walking on the treadmill and the elliptical.
As I was refilling my water bottle at the water fountain and chatting with Ryan before boot camp, a woman at the gym pointed out our matchy-matchy attire.
Apparently we were both feelin’ the black and red combo this morning! Believe it or not, Ryan and I have found ourselves dressing in coordinated outfits several times before. Twins!
Walk + Breakfast
Once boot camp was over, my friend Merri joined me, Ryan and Sadie for a 40-minute walk around the lake near our apartment. (She also snapped the above picture in case you were wondering.)
After our walk, it was time for breakfast!
Today I made myself a yogurt bowl that was full of goodies! (I also ate a small banana with a thick smear of peanut butter that went undocumented.)
In the mix:
- Greek yogurt
- Mango
- Apple
- Chestnuts
- Honey
The chestnuts were such a fun addition! They added a bit of a savory flavor and a cool texture to the yogurt bowl.
I ate this up while blogging away because that’s how I roll.
Last day of work before the weekend!!! 
P.S. The Fashion page was updated this morning.

I’ve never had chesnuts before – what are they comparable too?
Oh and your matchy matchy outfits are hysterical! All you need is to buy Sadie a few outfits too so she can join in on the fun 😉
Enjoy FRIDAY!

hahaah love the matching!!! soo soo cute!.. YAY for these chestnuts- im gna be on the lookout!
My sister and I used to always leave the house realizing we had matching outfits on, and because I’m the older one (LOL) I would always make her go change! (Yes, I’m cruel!) But to be fair, I was always the one up and dressed first. Have a great Friday Julie!
I love that you guys match — Jason and I do that at the gym a lot — we have a few of the same shirts (from races) and I feel like such a dork, but at least people know we are together!
Cute outfits! 😀 I almost wore black and red on my run today, but opted for a traffic cone orange shirt instead since it was a little nippy outside! Have a great day!
I love the title of this post! Haha. It’s so cute that you and Ryan matched at the gym! Happy Friday!!
That is the creepest/most awesome photo I have ever seen of Mr. and Mrs. Fagan. Christmas card material? Haha super cute.
Cute family picture 🙂 Sadie always looks so cute! (as do you & the hubs!) Your yogurt bowl looks great- I love having a mix of textures & tastes!
Happy Friday!!!
You are so cute!! Love the matching outfits 🙂 But, I still do nottt understand how you have SO much time in the morning before work! Cardio, class, walk, then shower, breakfast and getting ready? What is your general time line in the mornings?
you may see a post about my morning routine here: https://www.pbfingers.com/2010/04/30/streamlining-your-morning-routine/
Love the matching colors! You guys are such a beautiful couple; even after working out!
I was wondering the same thing about the comment above; how do you fit so much in before work?
I have never tried chestnuts, but after reading this I just might have to!
see answer to the comment above! 😀
Happy April!!!
I love mixing chestnuts (and almonds, and peanuts, and hazelnuts) into yogurt bowls. SO GOOD!
Awe you guys are precious!
I’ve never tried chestnuts . . . what’s their flavor like?
they’re slightly savory and chewy. i love ’em!
I absolutely LOVE chestnuts, but I always have trouble finding them. We don’t have TJ’s or Whole Food’s near me; can’t wait to move down to Phoenix to transfer schools and have awesome food options again!
How cute that you guys ended up wearing the same colors! 🙂 I do that with my sister a lot, I will meet her somewhere and we end up wearing very close to the same thing. So weird! Happy Friday!
What do chestnuts taste like???
The yogurt bowl looks deelish!
My fiance and I always end up matching. Then everyone assumes we are some brother/sister duo who still creepily dress the same. Awkward.
people also tend to think me & ryan look alike & are related. awkward…
I love the title of this post! And I love that you and Ryan were matching..what a cute little family! 🙂
Nate and I match all the time! Guess it’s all part of being married 😉
Hi Julie!
I just discovered your blog via J’s Everyday Fashion. I love reading your posts! Since I just discovered it, I’ve been catching up on older posts too – such a fun distraction at work (oops!)
Thanks so much for such a fun blog! I love the balance of fashion with the healthy eats/fitness. The Fashion page is my favorite!
Have a great Friday!
Jenn
PS You and Ryan are adorable! And the fun with Sadie makes me want to get a dog!
I decided to try a morning workout this morning because you allways seem to have a lot of time at night to enjoy instead of rushing around. I got there 10 minutes early (in the pouring rain and 30 degree weather) and my spin class was booked! I wish they also had a bootcamp because t hat would be a better way to kick off my weekend!
You and Ryan are adorable! You’re officially my favorite couple in the blogosphere 🙂 Yogurt bowl looks delic today.
I love Fridays too, but Sundays are my favorite!
The yogurt bowl sounds delicious!
That yogurt bowl sounds yummy! Hurry up lunch lol-that is what I packed as well! You two are one good looking matching couple! 🙂 That happens to my man and I a lot too. Totally random!
oh my goodness your outfits… hahaha. usually my boyfriend notices if we match before we leave and I’ll make him be the one to change. 😉
I’m loving the matchy-matchy!! Enjoy your Friday, Julie!
SO jealous of the sun streaming in your window… it’s snowing in Pittsburgh today. =(
Are you noticing any weight loss from your no sugar for Lent? I know that’s not the point of why your doing it but I was just curious.
no i haven’t.
Friday’s my favorite day too! Have a fun weekend!
Is it odd that my Ryan LOVES when we match? haha
I love love love that little yellow corner of your world!
Haaaa I’m so glad you made use of the last of your chestnuts!!!! Ryan and I sometimes match each other when we go to the gym (not on purpose, either!… we meet eachother after work and that’s just how it turns out) Pretty funny!
Hahaha I love the matching outfits. My boyfriend and I have done that by accident a few times too- the best was when I wore a white and pale pink sundress, and he wore white shorts and a pink button down. It looked like he was so whipped, when in reality he chose that outfit himself 🙂
I’m sure it’s a fairly common sentiment, but Friday’s are my fave too! I love anticipation, which is one reason I made our engagement two years long. I got to think about how great the wedding would be all that time 🙂
Matchy matchy! Love it! U guys are too cute!
I heart Friday’s so much too!!!! happy Weekend!!!
No only do your outfits match, but you also borrowed Ryan’s upper arm holding Sadie! Is this a photo montage? -)
I absolutely love your blog!!
Have an amazing weekend!
Hi Julie,
I read your blog every so often and really enjoy it! Sorry I’ve never commented before, but I am a full time graduate student trying to get my MA in just one year, so l basically never have enough time to leave a comment!
The reason why I’m commenting now is to bring up something important I noticed in today’s post. While I think that picture of you, Ryan and Sadie is adorable, the position in which Sadie is in is cause for concern. Not a lot of dog owners realize this, but you have to be VERY careful when larger dogs are put in this position. The reason for this is that the stomachs in large dogs can actually flip upside down. (Weird and scary, I know!) It’s not entirely known why this can happen, but vets recommend being very careful about allowing dogs to prop themselves upright (as Sadie is in this photo) and to never allow your dog to tilt their back beyond this point, as this inverted position can lead to the stomach flipping. If a dog’s stomach flips, it will need immediate, not to mention expensive, surgery. Stomach flipping is very painful for the dog and can be deadly.
I’m sorry to leave such a sober post, but I just wanted to warn you because I’m sure you love Sadie just as much as I love my large dogs and wouldn’t want any harm to come to her! I also chose to write this in a comment, rather than in a personal email, because I’m hoping any other readers with large dogs might read this as well. As I said before, not a lot of dog owners are aware of this issue, probably because this problem doesn’t apply to small dogs, which people often pick up and play with by turning them upside down. I only learned about stomach flipping because this happened to my aunt’s dog. I strongly recommend you do research to see if the issue of stomach flipping applies to Sadie’s dog breed and that you ask your vet about the best way to prevent this.
I’m a huge dog lover (especially a big dog lover!) and just want to ensure the best for these lovable creatures! On a less serious note, your blog really is a wonderful read, and a nice break from my studies. Oh, and chestnuts sound like a delicious addition!
i seriously had no idea that this was potentially dangerous and really appreciate your comment! definitely good to know! i want to keep sadie safe and healthy for as long as possible!
My husband and I always find it hilarious if we match. It only happens if we both wear blue shirts and khakis. Then we not only match, but we look like we work at Old Navy or something. lol
my husband and i totally match all the time unintentionally 🙂 at least we don’t look alike!
That is so funny that you guys end up matching clothes…you guys must be on the same wave length
hahaha I love the matching gym outfits!! And chestnuts are a good idea in a bowl 🙂
Hey Julie, where can I find the post about all the reasons to exercise? In other words, “excuses” why I should exercise? i.e. take 30-60min out of 1440 minutes in a day….
i think this is the post you’re looking for! https://www.pbfingers.com/2011/01/19/exercise-mantras/
i’ve never had chestnuts before! they look so good. 🙂
you always look so pretty!
I’m doing a no-dessert Lent too! You totally inspired me! I’m doing wonderfully with it…I haven’t TOUCHED ice cream since I started, which is rare of me (I normally eat it at least once a week). Thanks for the awesome blog, I follow you every day now! You’re so fun! 🙂
Wow. Your yogurt bowl is so small. That is amazing, I would be hungry an hour later.
