Today kicked off phase three of Tina’s Best Body Boot Camp.
At first glance the workout loosely reminded me of the LiveFit program that focused a lot on heavy weights and I worried that I would get bored waiting around in between sets of each exercise.
Have no fear!
Tina’s workout kept things moving quickly because she added drop sets and bursts of active recovery in between sets to keep boredom at bay. There was no standing around, that’s for sure!
Last night when I downloaded the workouts, I thought phase three wouldn’t be my favorite, but I ended up really enjoying today’s total body workout and the way it challenged my muscles. Another winner from Tina!
Breakfast
I often create meals around a craving and today parmesan cheese was calling to me from the fridge, so I figured out a way to incorporate it into my morning meal.
I made a bowl of scrambled eggs with three eggs, onion, steamed broccoli and lots of parmesan cheese.
Plus a hot mug of coffee and a banana on the side!
Celebrity Life Saver
Last night as I sat on the floor crafting in our living room, Ryan flipped through the channels and noticed that Armageddon was on television.
I could not stop laughing when he said, “You know, if an asteroid really were coming toward earth, I think I’d want Bruce Willis to be the one to try to save us.”
We then started discussing which celebrity we’d actually want to rely on in a dire situation. My mind kept going back to Denzel Washington, for no real reason other than the fact that he seems intelligent, athletic and mentally stable.
Now I ask you…
Question of the Morning
- If you had to rely on one celebrity to save your life in a dire situation, who would you choose?
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
Robert Downey Jr… hands down. 😀
Seconded. Save you in his Iron Man costume and crack you up with jokes, while hitting on you (because, he’d hit on anyone, really).
007, Daniel Craig, that is. Now off to make that egg breakfast!
Ooh those eggs look good!!
Hmm, if I had to rely on a celeb to save my life I think it would be Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Rawr.
Jeremy Renner!! Probably based on how cool, calm and collected he was diffusing bombs in The Hurt Locker!
Random question – what do you put in your coffee? Milk? Creamer?
Thanks! Love your blog 🙂
That’s a good pick!
i just add vanilla almond milk. 🙂 i’ve been wanting to try some of that liquid stevia stuff, but i have yet to buy it.
its great! and you dont have to use much 🙂
Matt Damon yummmm 🙂
Buttt my little cousin said without hesitation: Chuck Norris DUH!
LOL! chuck norris. c’mon! where was i on that one!?
HA! Of course!
Definitely Jack Bauer from “24”.
I agree!! The only problem is I don’t think Kiefer Sutherland is as tough as his character! Lol. I’d choose Angelina Jolie. I think she could kick butt in real life as well as the movies! :-b
I am loving phase 3 of bootcamp, definitely challenged me in new ways. Denzel Washington is a good pick, especially after seeing John Q. I think I would want Robert Downey Jr. as ironman to save me!
Jeremy Renner, definitely! I wish I was Rachel Weisz in the Bourne Legacy. 😉
Denzel Washington is a pretty good choice!! I mean in Man on Fire he did give his life for a little girl…….
My husband would totally pick Jason Statham from The Transporter.
Chuck Norris!
I’m going to have to go with Jack from LOST! 😉
My husband and I are watching Lost right now. I’ve seen all of it, but he’s just starting out. I would have to agree with this statement!!!
Call me a geek, but honestly, I’d say Doctor Who. Incarnations 9-11, but preferably 10, played by David Tennant. 🙂
Tom Hardy… as Bane or himself. *Swoon*
Yes! Tom Hardy!
Ohmygosh yes!!!
JACKIE CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
or Bruce Willis.
Will Smith…he’s already done it on more that one occasion!
Sandra Bullock a la Miss Congeniality! She seems pretty bad ass. 🙂
Liam Neeson!! Have you seen Taken? He seriously is such a bad A**!!
AH! that is a GREAT choice. he’s such a badass.
Definitely Chris Hemsworth (and if he doesn’t save us at least I get to watch him try…)
I watched Armageddon yesterday too! But did anyone else notice that they were all together on the oil rig, Bruce Willis gets taken to the president and then like 24 hours later they have to go and “round everyone up” from all over the U.S.?
What is that about?!
Hi Julie – I tried your greek yogurt pancakes this morning and loved them. I found your cute blog about a month or so ago. I have a sweet friend’s daughter that is 19 and I actually forwarded her your blog because I thought you reminded me of each other. Long story short, I noticed on your blog that you were at UCF for Alumi Rush day and would you believe SHE IS IN THE SAME ONE – at UCF and you two were at the same event – she is soph there – small world. Anyway, love your blog and all your healthy eating ideas. thanks for sharing. 🙂
oh my gosh! what a small world. i love it!! i hope she’s enjoying her time at ucf! 🙂
It’s a toss up between Independence Day Will Smith and Die Hard Bruce Willis. Tough call, but I think I’d go with Bruce Willis as well.
Love this! I pick Ryan Gosling. I don’t know if he would do a fabulous job of saving anyone … but if he didn’t … I’d have something pretty to look at in the end 😉 hahaha
Ha! He was my pick too! And, judging by the different reports in NYC, he’s pretty good at saving people!
Hm That’s a difficult question to answer ha!
I would have to say Gerard Butler – I mean he was pretty awesome in 300 and nice to look at 😉
You’re making me wanna try the Best Body fitness program, Julie!
I vote for Harrison Ford, since he’s saved people in real life! and he was probably my first crush.
Yummm I love parmesan cheese
I don’t know who I’d pick. Maybe Channing Tatum? For no other reason that I’d like him to be the last thing I see 😉
Matt Damon… those Bourne movies have made him seem very very capable. 🙂
Denzel Washington is so trustworthy! But I think if I had to choose it would be Ryan Gosling. I mean, he might totally fail. But at least I’d get a nice view in my last few moments on Earth.
definitely Bruce Willis!
Uma Thurman for sure….She was quite the crazy lady in Kill Bill and got herself out of being buried alive. That has to be one of my biggest fears too and seeing that on the big screen…freaked me out! All in all…. Pretty sure she can handle anything.
Either that the Kardashians for sure. They always have some kind of hook up while looking fabulous. I am sure Kris Jenner has some secret rocketship or planet they can still live on if an asteroid comes to earth. lol
Kiefer Sutherland (aka Jack Bauer)! He was the man in 24! He saved the world every season lol
Jackie Chan for sure!
My choice would definitely be Mark Wahlburg. I mean, come on, he’s awesome plus can make you laugh in a sucky situation!
Wentworth Miller after his many escapes in Prison Break.
I’m going with either Robert Irvine (from the Food Network’s Restaurant Impossible) or one of the Deadliest Catch captains. Those guys know how to get a job done!
Robert irvine is a great choice:). He is so buff (I swear his pecs randomly flex when he cooks ha) and definitely doesn’t put up with any crap! I think he has a military backround too.
Ryan Gosling or Tom Hardy.
Agree 1000%!!
I love broccoli but I’ve never added it to my eggs. I need to do that. I would choose Liam Neeson! He’s awesome in Taken!
Sam Wellingsworth. mhmmmmm
I’d have to go with Neil Patrick Harris. I think he’d keep the situation light while also capable of some Dougie Howser necessities.
Hmm I’d have to go with Nicolas Cage he seems like he’d be able to g lead me in the right path haha
I think I’m going to go with Arnold Schwazzengar (no idea how to spell his surname)…let’s be honest, that guy is a beast!
Jason Statham, of course! He’s so clever when it comes to getting out of sticky situations. His newest movie that is coming out in September, Safe, is one of the best I’ve seen of his dozens of action films.
Ooh that’s a tough question. I’m going to go with the ultra-nerd answer and say Benedict Cumberbatch from BBC’s Sherlock. Mmmmmmmhmmmmmm. 😉
Omg I would totally pick Denzel too. He is my favorite!!!!! That smile….
Bruce or Matt Damon!!
Wait.. no.. take it back. Liam Neeson. Hands down.
2000% agree!!!!!!!!!!
probably Matt Damon – if only to have something nice to look at before i die! hahahahaha 😉
Hey! This isn’t related to your post, but I’ve been reading your blog for a while without commenting and I just wanted to let you know how much I love it! You write in such a fun way and I look forward to all your updates. And since I just got around to getting my own wordpress blog your Blog Talk Tuesday’s have been of great help! (though I still have quite a few questions, hehe)
Keep up the great work! 🙂
Ryan Gosling…hasn’t he already saved a few lives this past year?? Plus he’s gorgeous!!
Mark-Paul Gosselaar. He has the ability to call a time-out at any moment. And he’s Stansbury material. ’nuff said.
Your choice is awesome!!! love it!
I’m going to go ahead and agree with your Denzel!!
Chuck Norris! He could round house kick that asteroid!
Hi Julie, I have a random question do you have any suggestions of lunches that I can take to class. I start college again this week and Im falling short on ideas. All I can think of are sandwiches and Im not really a fan. It would have to be able to sit in my backpack (w ice pack) or thermos during class.
