Not-So-Quiet Brain = No Yoga

September 7, 2010 by Julie 37 Comments

I normally come back to work after long holiday weekends feeling tired and in need of another long weekend.

Today, however, that is not the case. I actually feel rested, relaxed and rejuvenated. What a pleasant surprise.

I think I felt a little too rested because I just couldn’t get into the yoga class I planned to take this morning. I lasted about 5 minutes in the class but my silly brain wouldn’t shut up, so I headed into the cardio room at my gym to sweat it out.

My workout ended up a lil’ somethin’ like this:

  • 15 min. elliptical
  • 10 min. stair master
  • 10 min. elliptical
  • 5 min. stair master
  • 10 min. elliptical

I was clearly in the mood to jump around a lot this morning. I also saw people drop off magazines I wanted to read, which made me hop on and off the machines a few times.

Breakfast

Breakfast was one of my favorites.

A simple peanut butter and fresh fruit sandwich, prepared on a toasted sweet wheat Alternative Bagel with juicy nectarine slices and a couple of dashes of nutmeg.

PB + Nutmeg

Nectarine + Nutmeg

You know I also enjoyed a peanut butter finger or two while making this bad boy.

PB & N Bagelwich

Dig In!

Not a bad start to the day, if I do say so myself.

Big Day!

Today is actually quite a big day in the world of Peanut Butter Fingers.

Here’s a clue…

What Could This Mean???

Any guesses? 😉

Stay tuned…

    What a tease! Haha, but I’m assuming its your blog-aversary, so if that’s right congrats!!

    I’m the same with vacations, I’m usually so exhausted that it takes me a day or two to get back to workouts. This holiday was so relaxing I can’t wait to get in some serious cardio tonight. Looks like you had a great workout!

    You’ve got to cherish those days where you are full of energy in the morning. Sometimes those are few and far between!

    Maybe a one year blogging anniversary? Regardless of what it is, I’m sure it is something positive and fun, so congrats! 🙂
