My sister and I wrapped up the day yesterday with more cooking and baking.
Sadie wrapped up the day with lots of sampling.
Okay, so we did a lot of sampling, too. 
If you know the secret to preparing delicious food without eating a million bites along the way, please share this information with me.
At around 7 p.m., our friend Ross and his adorable dog Kona arrived in town and we all headed out for dinner at a sushi restaurant in downtown Ocala.
Rainbow roll + Cobra roll… I definitely wiped off the dot of hot fire on top of the cobra roll. Too spicy!
Workout
This morning the four of us awoke for an early morning workout.
We headed to the gym and Ryan and Ross did their thing while Leslie and I completed 30 minutes on the elliptical before doing an awesome cardio circuit.
We did the “100 Workout,” a fast-paced circuit workout I copied down from Pinterest a while ago.
We skipped the 10 minute run at the end of the workout and replaced it with a round of one of my favorite intense cardio circuits.
Breakfast
After the gym, we swung by the grocery store to replace some of our depleted food supplies before my sister and I made a yummy breakfast back at the house while the guys entertained the dogs outside.
While Sadie acted like a feeble little princess when she saw Bob Barker bobbing around in the pool, Kona dove in like a champ! It’s a chilly day today but there’s no stopping Kona from pool time.
Breakfast included more egg sandwiches and cereal.
This time I made my egg sandwich on a cinnamon bagel which was a great decision. Savory + sweet is the best!
Gotta get back to the fun before returning to the kitchen to finish up the food prep for our Friendsgiving party tonight.
Ryan and Ross are on turkey duty!
I found that workout on Pinterest and tried it out a couple weeks ago too! The crunches were a little more challenging than I thought they’d be. I liked it though! It was nice to mix things up for a good cardio workout.

So, how was the 100 workout??? It sounds like a great circuit! Thanks for sharing!
Mercedes@Satisfy My Sweet Tooth
it was good! it wasn’t “i’m gonna die” hard, but it kept us sweating!

The weather in Ocala still looks so summery… I’m jealous!! Sounds like you’ve had a great weekend so far. Can’t wait to see photos from this Friendsgiving celebration!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat
That looks like a great workout! I love circuits but I don’t do them as often as I’d like. Have a good time tonight & happy Saturday!
Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile
Love this workout- have gotten so bored of my usual strength training workout so this will make a nice change. I need to google leg lifts though- not sure I am thinking of the right exercisde! Have a great day!
khushboo
What a fun weekend! It must be nice to have your sister around to switch things up a bit.
Heather
Sana
I love egg sandwiches on cinnamon raisin bagels too! So yummy.
Olivia @ PeanutButterNerd
Such a good workout idea! I might have to try that one day when I’m feeling a little out of whack with my usual routine.
Sweet bagel + savory toppings = BALLIN’
Meg
Can’t wait to see how the Friendsgiving comes together!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake
Sometimes if I really don’t want to sample while cooking I’ll chew mint gum or some other potent flavor. Then you know even if you DID sample, it would taste weird!
Laura
I did the 100 workout for the first time a few days ago, with the 10 minute run. I burned a little over 400 calories. Quick and efficient, just how like a morning workout! Its a nice little something to change things up.
Sabrina @ Coffee With Sabrina
I have the same workout pinned, but I haven’t tried it yet. You beat me to it!
And eggs + cinnamon raisin bagel is one of my favorite combos. My boyfriend turned me on to it a few years ago, and at first I thought he was crazy. One bite in and I was a convert : )
Hillary
Cool workout! I’m gonna try it
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes
I am so jealous of this Friendsgiving you’re having! Sounds like a blast, AND you get two thanksgivings! I also have been craving cinnamon raising bagels! I saw some GF ones by Udi’s at WF last week, I’ll have to get some soon!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats
Your pool is impressive!
The 100 workout looks pretty intense!
Jodi
i always try to chew gum while baking… to keep my fingers out of the bowl, but inevitably i end up spitting out my gum as soon as i get going.
that’s an intense workout!!
kathleen @ the daily crumb
That circuit sounds pretty hardcore! Might have to try it sometime, although maybe customising it to a 50 workout not sure my body would know what hit it with 100!! Nice for you to have your sister to do it with, working out is always easier with a buddy!
Charlie @ The Runner Beans
I have heard that chewing and intense flavor of gum (like cinnamon) will help to not pick while cooking! I have that problem too! Making brownies/cookies = having (at least) 2 servings worth before they are even made!! soooo good though!!!!
Lindsey
That looks like an awesome workout!
I think I will give that a go – love Pinterest for fun things like that – and I love that picture of the woof jumping into the poo…hilarious! 
Have a wonderful time with your sister! <3 xyx
Yolie @ Practising Wellness
Hahahaha! I mean jumping into the POOL!!!! OOoops!

Your friendsgiving reminds me of when I was in college and we woiuld hold “Cherry Street Thanksgiving” – we lived on Cherry St. and would invite our group of friensd over!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey
Where are the pictures of Ross?! Just kidding…
(not really)
Elaina
I have no idea how people can make food and not sample along the way. That takes way more will power than I have.
P.S.I think Ross and Leslie would make a cute couple!
Kelly
That is an intense workout! Love it- and your super cute napkin that you wrote it out on!
Joelle (On A Pink Typewriter)
Those countdown workouts are no joke! I love them. And the bagel sandwich combos!
Rebecca
It looks nice and sunny there! Enjoy your weekend!
Emily @ Perfection Isn’t Happy
cute pic of sadie licking he spoon!!
steph
Julie, I love your blog!! I read it everday. I’m sure you already know, but you were featured in an article in the UCF newspaper this week. So cool to see another UCF alumni make it “big”!
Julie W
Thanks for sharing the 100 workout. I’m excited to give it a try!
Michelle @ Blogitness
I just found a similar workout on Pinterest and I’m excited to give it a try! Sounds awesome.
And cinnamon bagels are amazing. The end.
Emily
The 100 workout sounds very interesting. I might give that a try!
Melissa
I saw that workout on pinterest too! Ones from pinterest that I have been giving a try are the lean arms and lean legs pyramid workouts. They are short but definitely effective.
Jenny
love it. so, with the 100, do you just do everything in order, no rest in between? i like your notepad and writing. pink/green together is a fave.
that is an awesome pic of kona ready to hit the water!
heatherb
That pool picture if priceless! What good timing.
Lena @ Fit on the Rocks
did this really take that short of a time? did you rest in between each 100-90-80 or did you rest a different way?
Brooke
I remember you mentioning your sister was going to write a post about her running experience, I would be interesting in hearing and hope this is still in the works!
Carrie
Love the pool picture!!!!!!! Made me smile! Enjoy your friendsgiving.
Alexis
I’m a huge savory & sweet fan, especially when it comes to breakfast. I love making french toast into a sandwich with ham and cheese or to do an egg sandwich with apple and cheese. It’s the perfect compromise when you can’t decide if you are craving savory and sweet. I also recently made a strata (on the blog soon) with gruyere and apple. So, so good.
Kelly
Haha I love that pic of Sadie jumping in the pool!
Gen
Will definitely try this workout, sounds hard but rewarding
jealous of that beautiful sushi
Ann-Mari
That photo of the dog jumping into the pool is so glorious. I wish I could be doing that right now – ha ha.
Alyssa (Down To Earth)
Love that picture of kona diving into the pool! And that workout sounds intense! Awesome job!
Erin @ Girl Gone Veggie
I love Leslie’s hair in that picture with Sadie. How does she do that??
jane
For the workout, are the leg lifts 70 each leg, or 70 total? Sounds like a good fit-it-in workout!
colleenzo
I’ll have to try that workout tonight! Looks amazing!
Stephanie @ Mr and Meatless
how long did it take you to do the 100 workout ? i’m wondering if i can fit it in on my lunch hour …
Julia
Random question about the leg lifts in the workout – do they mean side leg lifts? Or like the leg lifts that work your abs? Thanks
. I did it today, and did side leg lifts but I wasn’t sure if that’s what the intention was!
Meredith
hmmm… i did them like the side leg lifts, but now you have me wondering!
peanutbutterfingers
My 12 yr old. dvaughter and I did the 100 workout together today- it was fun watching her determination to get through it!
Brenda
aw, i love this! so glad you had fun together!
