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:
- 1 c. plain 2 % Chobani
- 1/4 c. cooked wheat berries
- 1 package Brothers-All-Natural apple crisps
Apple Crisps
Wheat Berries
Now that my belly is full, it’s time to power through another day at the office.
See ya fo’ lunch!

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

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:

It’s called Hello by Martin Solevig and Dragonette

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!!!
Shayla(Quote)
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
