Happy New Year!
I hope you guys had a fabulous time celebrating last night and aren’t feeling like this right now…
For those of you who were already fast asleep when midnight rolled around, I hope you’re feeling extra chipper this morning just like little Miss Sadie.
May your 2014 be filled with lots of playtime! I know that’s Sadie’s number one goal.
Workout
Ryan and I both have the day off work today, so after sleeping in, we woke up feeling nice and rested and ready to head to the gym. As I’m sure you can imagine, we weren’t the only ones who thought to kick off 2014 with a workout.
When we arrived, lots of people were already there working up a sweat which was great to see. Fortunately I didn’t have to wait for any equipment or machines and Ryan and I were in and out in a little less than an hour as usual.
I did a 20 minute elliptical workout before hitting the weight room to concentrate on strength training. I focused on my biceps and triceps and definitely felt the burn. I challenged myself with heavier weights and it felt great!
Breakfast
Once we were done with our workouts, Ryan and I drove to a local coffee shop to grab some hot drinks (cappuccino for me!) before making our way home for breakfast.
I assembled a yogurt bowl by combining 2 percent Greek yogurt, honey and dark chocolate Cheerios.
Step one:
Step two:
Step three:
Step four:
Tasty, simple and filling!
And now I need to shower! I’m not sure what our plans for today entail, but I know laundry is on my to-do list. It’s about to get craaazy over here!
Happy New Year, my friends!

dark chocolate cheerios?! that sounds criminally good.
Wow, you’re only an hour ahead of me time wise, but I’m still in my pj’s, drinking my coffee and reading blogs…so you’re way ahead of me goal wise! I’m not surprised! 🙂 Happy New Year!
Yum, looks good.
Aren’t cappuccinos the best?
Happy New Year!
Yessssss. I <3 foam! 🙂
Happy New Year to you!
I’m off today…and surrounded by laundry too. lol.
chocolate cheerios sound super delicious!
happy new year! =)
Happy New Year, Julie! All the best for a wonderful 2014!
HAPPY NEW YEARS! I hope you had a great one :).
Can’t wait for more musings, pictures of Sadie, and recipes in 2014! Cheers!
Happy New Year Julie! I agree, it is always awesome to see people at the gym kicking off the New Year right! I always think it is important to encourage and not discourage people from wanting a fresh start! 🙂
Happy New Year! Looking forward to another year of your wonderful blog! Enjoy your day off “)
Thank you, Carly! Happy New Year to YOU! 😀
Ah I LOVE cheerios – that looks perfect! Happy New Year, Julie!
happy new year! enjoy your day off – i know we will! 🙂
Happy New Year, looking forward to a year of being inspired by your workouts and healthy recipes. Hope you have a great 2014.
Yogurt bowls are the best! I just had one with sliced banana, chia seeds, hemp seeds, vanilla almond cereal, and almond butter. Loaded!
Happy new year, Julie!
Hi! Just found your blog and I simply love it! Been hooked reading it through for awhile now and not ready to stop, great posts! 😀
Surely I’ll be visiting you from now on, keep up the good work and happy new year 2014!

That cheerios combo looks interesting! I hate yogurt and try to disguise it well when I eat it, so that may just work! I don’t feel like Sadie in first pic thank goodness! I went on a very wet, dreary, and cold run this morning with a friend! And now watching Gilmore Girls and staring at the laundry that should get done (you will be more successful than me:) Happy new year PBF!
Love a good New Year’s workout. My gym wasn’t actually overly crowded which was great. I hope you have a wonderful holiday!

There truly is nothing better than cheerios & yogurt! It’s a staple in my household!
Happy New Year!! Lots of crazy plans over here today too – grocery shopping and cleaning 😉 What a wild start to 2014!
YUM! I stayed up until midnight last night (surprisingly, ha!) and then woke up around 5 to the sounds of plows outside my window from all the snow we got over night. I then made my way to an 8am hot yoga class which was just the perfect way to start not only my day, but my year. Happy New Year!
mhmmm that breakfast looks delicious!
I love seeing how many people decide to start off their year right, but I hate how clogged the gym gets! Haha 😉 Happy New Year!
Good girl! Starting the year off on the right foot with a workout! I’m going to take my daughter to the park (does that count as a workout?) lol. She’s one so I’m sure I’ll chase her around plenty!
Happy New Year!!
I just got back from the gym since our gym closes at 2:00 today I got there early. Now we are resting and heading out to do a little grocery shopping before cooking dinner for the night! Taking it easy the rest of the day here.
happy new year! hey julie, you mentioned a website a few weeks back that unsubscribes you for all your junk mail at once..what was it please?
thanks!
We had family bowling and laser tag today! Great fun! Back to normal tomorrow! I did Insanity this morning as gyms close in Ireland on New Years Day! Madness!
I’m afraid to go to the gym today and the next week due to the high volume of people that will be there!! YIKES!
I love yogurt honey and cereal, best combo! happy new year!!! <3
Way to get in and out & ring in the new year in such a healthy way!
I don’t have plans for today except resting and a workout! 🙂
I’m kind of surprised yet not so much by the fact that the gym was already full so early in the day! I hope you guys have a great start to 2014 and lots of blessings ahead~ 😀
Happy New Years! A yogurt bowl sounds so good right now. We did laundry and cleaned today… fun times.
The last healthy thing I ate today was a midday snack, similar to your yogurt bowl but with chopped apple, celery & a few whole raw almonds stirred in. Yum. have a Happy New YeaYear& thanks for the inspiration u share for healthy living. Give miss Sadie a scratch for us:)
The last healthy thing I ate was actually at a new restaurant we found near our home! They have all organic products and 100% grass fed meat! So delicious!
Right now I am really into sweet potatoes. The last healthy thing I ate today was a baked sweet potato topped with white cheddar cheese! Tasty and delicious!
That’s a brilliant combo my friend! Thanks for sharing!

Happy New Year! I had an egg white omelet!

Happy New Year! I love all the pup pictures! :]
I had peanut butter toast with raisins for breakfast this morning. It was delicious!

Happy New Year! May this year bring new adventures, challenges, and beautiful memories for us all! I have officially transitioned out of sweetened yogurt, and have been using 0% fage with fresh blueberries or granola. I need to try out the 2% for taste and texture.
I love having yogurt with cereal or fruit on top lately- it’s the best!
Looking forward to reading more of your blog this year! I have always wanted to start my own blog and finally decided to this week… thanks for the inspiration, I have always loved reading your blog!
oh Sadie 😉
Happy New Years!
I had a late lunch today and wasn’t really hungry for dinner. I wanted to get some veggies in – so I sliced up some cucumber and green pepper to snack on and put some in Tupperware in the fridge for a quick snack to grab for the rest of the week 🙂
