Starting the Day the Iced Coffee Way

May 28, 2012 by Julie 67 Comments

Good morning and Happy Memorial Day!

Ryan and I started our day with a workout at 7:30 a.m.

I chatted with another woman at the gym as I was doing various chest and tricep exercises and we both said that the lack of people at the gym today coupled with the fact that it is a holiday made it hard to feel super motivated. Still, I’m glad I went! It wasn’t a killer workout, but it felt good to start my day on an active note.

Iced Coffee

On our way home from the gym, Ryan got a serious craving for McDonald’s hot cakes and sausage. (He claims no one makes better pancakes than McDonald’s. I think he’s crazy. I’ve even tried to duplicate McDonald’s hotcakes before with no luck. Apparently Ronald McD knows what’s up.)

I wanted to wait to make myself breakfast at home since we were just going through the drive through, so I ordered a small vanilla iced coffee to sip on with my breakfast.

This was my first time trying their iced coffee and I am a fan. My expectations were rather low since I think their hot chocolate is disgusting, but I was pleasantly surprised!

Breakfast

Breakfast was a simple bowl of hot oatmeal with egg whites added in at the last minute for an extra punch of protein.

I topped the oats with cinnamon before eating every last bite.

The weather here is rather dreary today which put a kink in our original plans for the day. (No more horseback riding.)

Since it’s rainy outside, a trip to the movie theatre might be in order.

Have you guys seen any good movies lately? I think that The Five Year Engagement looks really cute and am pulling for that one at the moment.

I'd love to connect with you! I am always so grateful when you let me know you tried one of my recipes or workouts and tag me in your photos or updates. Thank you so much!!!

    McDonald’s uses Newman’s Own Green Mountain coffee, which is organic, at least up here in the Northeast. And it’s delicious! 🙂

    I love starting my day with iced coffee in the summer. This weekend I tried the new Dunkin Donuts flavor, black cocoa creme. I had mine with a little skim milk and omg, it was delicious! I highly recommend it!

    Iced coffee in summer is my number one priority too as it jogs my memory. You chose very delicious breakfast as well.

    Definitely consider that which you stated. Your favourite reason seemed to be at the web the
    easiest factor to keep in mind of. I say to you, I definitely get
    irked at the same time as people consider worries that they plainly do
    not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as neatly as defined out the entire thing with
    no need side effect , folks can take a signal.
    Will likely be again to get more. Thank you
