February Flashback

February 28, 2011 by Julie 56 Comments

And just like that, it’s March! I always seem to forget that there are only 28 days in February and March sneaks up on me every year.

I’m ready for March because I feel like March marks the beginning of spring and warmer weather. Woo! That’s not to say February isn’t a good month in its own right.

Some fun things that happened last month on PBF:

  • Ryan and I celebrated our 7-year dating anniversary
  • Super fun and super sweaty Blogger Boot Camp
  • Hot date for Valentine’s Day

Valentine's Day Date

  • Family vacation in Sanibel
  • Sadie experienced ass grass

February recipe highlights included:

  • Baked pancake
  • Cucumber salad
  • Oatmeal pancakes

And some fun February workout posts:

  • 30-minute treadmill interval workout
  • Treadmill interval workout for all fitness levels
  • 30-minute hilly treadmill workout
  • Elliptical interval workout
  • Total-body weights

But enough with February fun, let’s move onto March!

March arrived in Central Florida with a wet start.

Drip, Drip

The rain held off as I walked to the gym for a workout but really picked up as I was leaving.

Workout

While at the gym, I completed 50 minutes of cardio on the elliptical. My friend Merri joined me for the last 20 minutes or so which made the time fly by! I wasn’t ready to be done talking with Merri when my workout was over, but I had to head home to walk the dog. Fortunately Merri and I have dinner plans with our friend Laurel and our respective guys on Friday, so I’ll get to see her again soon!

After walking home in the rain, I knew my typical walk with Sadie was out of the question. I suited her up in her rain jacket and took her on a quick walk around the block.

"We're Gonna Walk in THIS? You're Off Your Rocker, Lady."

Unfortunately the rain really picked up about a mile into our walk and we got caught in a down pour. We waited under a tree for a bit, but the rain didn’t let up too much, so we sprinted home. My shoes were soaked and poor Sadie was dripping.

I made sure to take ample time to towel her off, which made her quite the happy camper.

Breakfast

I tossed around several breakfast ideas before eventually recognizing my craving for a good ol’ breakfast bagelwich.

Breakfast Bagelwich

Today’s bagelwich included the last of my smoked salmon, vegetable cream cheese and a banana.

Open-Faced Bagelwich

Smokey

So, so delicious!

Take a Bite!

I think someone was jealous…

"Gimme Da Feesh!"

Off to work! Happy first day of March!

    Is it odd that when you write Sadie captions I read them in my head in a different voice? Sadie has her own blog voice in my mind 🙂

    Hey Julie! I was just wondering what kind of cream cheese your always using? It sounds so good! & is it reduced fat or just plain old cream cheese? I realize I always shy away from using regular cream cheese because of its high fat/calorie content…but its not all that bad right? haha thanks!

    So this may be my own visual perceptual issue, but in the picture and you and Ryan it looks like you photoshopped the two of you in. Something about how your feet don’t look grounded…

    Anyways….

    Woo March!! I love the feeling of spring coming and I guess those April showers came early? ha It sucks to be stuck in a downpour when you’re unprepared, but on days when I’m in the mood, I love jumping in puddles or just taking a calm walk in warm rain!
