I did feel a little bit of blog-related stress yesterday as my blog made the move from WordPress to Bluehost. I’ve done nearly everything related to my blog myself (except for the wonderful redesign which I owe to The Blog Fairy).
I am not tech-savvy at all, but with the help of some online tutorials and many, many Google searches I’ve been able to get by… That is until I started looking into changing the host of my blog.
Time to Move!
Holy information overload! Since I didn’t want to lose any of my blog in the transfer process, I knew I wanted to have a professional’s help, if not for their skill than for my peace of mind.
I want to give a huge shout out to Seth for being my go-to web guy! He was so, so easy to work with and answered all of my questions in a language I could understand (not web-speak). Thank you mucho, Seth! 😀
So, as you may have noticed my blog was flip-flipping back and forth bewteen my peanutbutterfingers.wordpress.com domain and it’s real home, right here at pbfingers.com.

Now let’s get away from the movin’ and head onto the groovin’…
Workout
My workout this morning was a sweaty one! I initially planned to take Sadie for a run, but it was pouring outside!
Plan B: Take a spinning class!
One of the benefits to keeping track of my workouts through the Exercise Log on this blog is that I can see when I last took certain classes. The last time I took a spin class was in March. Clearly I was long overdue!
I forgot two things about spinning classes:
- They make me unbelievably sweaty
- They’re really hard!
I think my time away from the bike made today’s class feel extra challenging.
The instructor said something that resonated with me though and made me push through.
“If you’re not working, you’re not living.”
I know you can take this statement in many different ways, but I took it to mean that when we truly work our bodies and minds to our full potential, that’s when we’re really living!
I always feel so much more alive after a great workout and I kept reminding myself of that whenever I wanted to kick back and relax on the bike.
Breakfast
Breakfast today was a new combo!
Cake Batter + Peach + Coconut
I made myself a yogurt bowl that contained:
- 1 c. Fage plain Greek yogurt
- 1 sliced peach
- 1/2 c. old fashioned oats
- 1/2 scoop All the Whey cake batter protein powder
- Three pinches unsweetened coconut
- Dash of nutmeg
I cooked the oats and protein powder together with a bit of water in the microwave and let the mixture chill in the fridge for a bit before adding the remaining ingredients.
After topping the cake batter oats with the yogurt, fruit, coconut and nutmeg, my breakfast was ready!
Scoop it Up!
Tuesday Breakfast
Great combo. 😀
And now, with blogging pains, a spinning workout and breakfast complete, it’s time fo’ work.
See ya on the flip side!

Glad everything worked smoothly with your blog! Happy new host 😀
I love spinning, I miss it SO much – I used to do it 2 – 3 mornings a week in California and it really got my day off to a great start. I totally agree – it DOES make you feel more alive, especially during the beginning of the week, when it’s needed most haha 😉
Breakfast looks awesome! Enjoy your day!
Meg
i’m going to ditto meg…so glad it was a smooth transition!
What a yummy looking breakfast!
Sounds like you got a great workout. I’ve never tried spinning classes! Perhaps it’s due time.
Cheers to a great Tuesday!
Glad you contacted Seth! 🙂
thanks so much for referring me to him! he was great. 🙂
So glad the move went okay!
I love spinclasses. I haven’t taken one in a while, but I am always guaranteed a kick in my butt. Plus- easy on my hip, which is always a plus 🙂
Congrats on the move 😉
I may be an Aerospace Engineer, but I’m dumb as rocks when it comes to computers/software, etc!
You kick butt girl!
Glad the transition went smoothly! I hate spin classes, haha.
I haven’t taken a spin class in a few months, but with the cold weather coming–I think I need to start going again! Yum to the cake batter breakfast, great idea! 🙂
I’ve never tried spinning but I’ve heard its intense. I do want to try it sometime, however. Good to hear that everything is a-ok with the blog 🙂
Can I ask what made you decide to get a new host? What’s the purpose?
Also, I never really liked spin class. I get antsy being in the same spot!
lisa – i decided to move b/c keeping my blog at wordpress.com limited a lot of things. certain plug-ins are not available & neither is google analytics through wordpress.com alone.
Your title for this post got the song “Play That Funky Music White Boy” stuck in my head! “…and movin’ to the groovin’, and just when, it hit me, somebody turned around and shouted, play that funky music white boy”!
…errr, sorry. I’ll stop now. Not a bad way to start my Tuesday… Thanks!
Wow, I really needed to hear that today. “If you’re not working, you’re not living.” Love that!
I love spinning classes…did you wear a heart rate monitor during the class? I’ve always wondered how many calories I was burning and don’t have a heart rate monitor. Thanks!
Stress no more! The blog is up and running and is it’s usual great self!
On a food related note, I have to try that cake batter! Every time you use it in one of your posts my mouth starts to water!
Looks so yummy! Especially with the coconut! =)
Yum. Cake batter whey sounds really good!
i am excited to redesign my blog and move hosts. I would love to self host because blogger just isnt doing it for me! lovely breakfast!
xoxo
lo
Glad you were able to get some help. The web stuff confuses me, too. It takes a ton of googling for me to do any of the technical stuff.
glad everything went smoothly!
spin classes are SO fun esp after not doing them for a while!
I can’t believe it was March you last took a spin class. I remember you going to classes a bit more often back then and it doesn’t seem like it was 6 months ago. Wow.
Glad things are sorted out now with the move. 🙂
yay! spin!! I <3 to spin 🙂
I’m glad everything is sorted out and blogging can return to being stress-free!
Where do you find cake batter protein powder?
I’ve been looking everywhere with no luck! I’m OBSESSED with cake even more than I’m obsessed with peanut butter. It’d be a great addition to my pantry!
I hear ya! I’m having blogging woes right now too. 🙁 I think we all have been there. Hang tight, it will all get resolved soon love. 🙂
Mmmm, coconut goes with everything but ESPECIALLY with vanilla! 🙂
Glad I could help. For those of you mentioning “blog woes”, give me a shout…
