After my workout this morning (BodyPump class + 20 minutes on the elliptical), I took Sadie on 2.5 mile walk and couldn’t help but marvel at all the blossoming trees, bushes and buds.
Spring is Springin'
So pretty!
Almost as pretty as this lil’ girl…
Pretty Girl
She warms my heart.
As if the sprouting foliage wasn’t enough to make me smile, I was really feelin’ the songs that popped up on my iPod during our walk. I typically leave my iPod at home during my walks with Sadie and just enjoy the peacefulness of the morning, but today I opted for some music.
It was nice to listen to some of my more chill songs since I typically skip them when I’m working out in favor of one of my workout playlists or motivational music with an awesome beat.
Favorite songs of the morning included:
- Hootie and the Blowfish – Hold My Hand
- U2 – I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
- Eric Hutchinson – Rock & Roll (acoustic version)
Breakfast
After our walk, it was breakfast time!
Breakfast
Today’s yogurt bowl included:

Now that my belly is full, it’s time to power through another day at the office.
See ya fo’ lunch!

I envy those first signs of spring you have there :/ It’s freaking cold over here, and I’m craving warmer temperatures, sunshine and flowers.
I adore apple chips!
I can’t believe it’ll be in the 80s there! Illbe in Tampa and St Pete this weekend, so I’ll get to experience some of the great Florida weather! π
OMG I LOVE Hootie and the Blowfish!! My dad used to listen to them a lot when I was a kid and I bet I was the only 7 year old (out of my friends anyway!) who knew who they were. Great song!!
Have a wonderful day Julie!
i LOVE hootie too! have you heard the song “i hope that i don’t fall in love with you?” it’s my fav! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMXeqkk82to&feature=related
That is a GREAT song! I also love I Go Blind and Only Wanna Be with you.. .ahhhh I am SO having a Hootie & The Blowfish afternoon today! π
Haha Hootie and the Blowfish!! I just think of friends, with Monica’s hickey! π
ha! i tweeted about that this morning! love that episode.
Oh man, I am J to the ealous. It is still chilly in Toronto. I can’t wait for that first hint of spring!
I love a good Hootie song. Let Her Cry may be my all-time fave!
The 80s? Seriously girl, I need to move there. It is suppose to be 9 here! Something is wrong with this picture!
Completely random, but I love how wheatberries look! Is that weird?! Lol…It’s ok- because I know I’m weird π
They kind of remind me of how Honey Smacks look. Yum!
now i want some smacks…
Love Eric Hutchinson!
I tried some Caramel Apple crisps last weekend & they were delish! I meant to save some for a yogurt bowl, but I snacked them all away. Oops!
send virginia beach some warm sunshine, will ya? I think y’all have some to spare. π 40 degrees is getting old over here!
Good call with the apple crisps! Great snack and so tasty!
i am so jealous of your weather!
I am beyond jealous of the weather you’re having in FL!
I thought we were finally saying bye to Winter in the Mid-Atlantic. It was 70Β° on Friday but then it snowed 6″ on Tuesday, ugh.
I’ve never had those apple crisps before….were they any good?
yes! i like them a lot! they also have pear crisps which are fantastic as well.
we’ll take some of those pretty blossoms in new york city!!! π how’s the nutrition on those apple crisps? I’m never sure about packaged fruit!!
they’re awesome b/c the only ingredient is dehydrated apples. loooove ’em.
Ah! Super jealous of your weather! I just heard we’re expected to get more snow. Noooooo!
I tried wheat berries in my morning yogurt for the first time on Monday – fabulous texture. And when paired with crunchy chia seeds, well it was just perfect! Enjoy your day, Julie!
I love wheat berries! I was just wondering do you not eat anythign before body pump? I think I would pass out haha
I need some of those apple crisps asap!
80 degrees?! I am so jealous! It said 19 degrees in my car this morning! Freezing! Those apple crisps look so yummy! I need to try them!
Love Hootie! Mmmm apple crisps. Check our your local health food store, they might sell them in bulk. Can’t go wrong with those!
I am sitting here in 21 degree weather so I am extremely jealous of 80 degrees and blooming trees. I can’t wait for it to be Spring!!
I feel like all you FL bloggers are probably sick of hearing this from me, but I am SO JEALOUS of your gorgeous weather. It’s still in the 30s here, and I can’t wait for sundress weather!!
Hootie (well Darius…) lives about 5 minutes from me! I like to refer to him as my neighbor! π
I have to ask, you did a body pump class, 20 minutes on the elliptical, and a 2.5 mile walk all before work? Girl, when do you wake up in the morning!?
you may see my morning routine here: https://www.pbfingers.com/2010/04/30/streamlining-your-morning-routine/
π
aaaand, i’m totally jealous hootie is your neighbor! let’s stalk him and trick-or-treat at his house on halloween!
Have a great day Julie!
I am soooo jealous of your FL weather. There is snow on the ground up here. I think I need to start migrating south for the winter.
its so funny you have just started your day when Im eating my afternoon snack! YAY spring is a comin’!!! except not really in this city… its been raining ALL WEEK. SHOCKER
Yep…I’m eating breakfast Carrie… lol
but its 10 am so thats kind of my fault… haha
wow I wish the weather was like that up here. It’s going to be in the 30’s still all week π
I’m jealous of your 80 degree weather! Us Chicagoans are happy that it finally reached the 40s!
Love “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” it randomly pops into my head all the time. After this mention, it will probably be stuck in my head all day!
Those apple chips are tasty, but the amount of sugar in them makes me jittery.
I am so jealous of your weather! We’re expecting snow tonight π
Lucky lucky with the weather!! It’s 30 degrees this morning and I’m wearing my poofy coat. Fingers crossed for some sunshine soon!
I’ve been LOVING this weather!! Of course, we;ll be wanting the cool back whenever it reaches 100* π
FL needs to share the love. We (MN) just got 15 inches of snow in two days!
Quit rubbing it in — its still FREEZING here in Chicago!!! I wore tights and ballet flats to work today and regretted it about, oh…I don’t know, 4 milliseconds after walking out of my door π
I love Cherry Blossom trees in the spring. They are so pretty! My favourite song to work out to at the moment is this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgSqCr-rUfw&feature=fvsr
It’s called Hello by Martin Solevig and Dragonette
I am SOOO jealous of the weather where you are!!
it was -15 degC here this morning and there is still a TON of snow…so depressing! I’ve had enough!
I shall live vicariously through you until we finally get our ‘spring’
Girl, that’s not spring weather, that’s SUMMER weather!!! I’m going to Tallahassee this weekend…with my luck a cold front will swing on through..
Jules,
I love running to that U2 song, but try the β’U2 β I Still Havenβt Found What Iβm Looking For (Rattle & Hum) version. It’s the spiritual version, and it gets me going every time!
How many minutes does a 2.5 mile walk take you? I walked 20 min. on the treadmill today and it was only 1 mile!!!
around 45 – 50 minutes, i think. the walk may be a little less than 2.5 mi… possible 2.3? i’ve never mapped it, just guessing!
Ok that makes sense then – I thought you went for only 20 min. so I thought then that I was walking as slow as molasses! LOL! Thanks for answering! π
