Since today’s breakfast was one you’ve seen a billion times on the blog (banana bread protein pancakes), I figured I’d recap yesterday’s morning meal instead since it was wonderful!
For the past three years, whenever I’ve mentioned that I’m taking a trip to Sanibel, a bunch of you comment telling me I must visit The Lighthouse Café for breakfast. Last year my family and I tried to go, but the wait was crazy-long, so we gave it another go this year since we were awake much earlier and figured we’d beat the crowds.
At 7:30 a.m., we had no trouble getting a table right away and immediately commented on the adorable lighthouse décor and cozy, comfortable atmosphere.
Ordering was rather easy since two of you said the whole wheat blueberry pancakes were phenomenal. I paired a giant pancake with two poached eggs, ham and buttered whole wheat toast.
It was such a delicious breakfast and the pancake recommendation was a great one. It tasted slightly nutty and the little baby blueberries added the perfect punch of sweetness.
We spent the rest of the morning walking on the beach before saying our goodbyes and heading home. Time in Sanibel always passes too quickly!
Workout
It was a chilly ride to the gym this morning!
Twenty nine degrees in Ocala! While I know that’s child’s play for many of you out there, for the Florida folks, 29 degrees is intense!
Luckily it didn’t take too long to get warm once my workout began thanks to Tina’s Best Body Boot Camp. Today kicked off the first week of Phase Four, the final phase of the boot camp program. It was an awesome workout that paired strength moves with 20 seconds of high knees or pulse squats with a 180-degree jump.
By far the hardest move of the workout for me was the crocodile walk. It didn’t look too intense in the video (probably because Lindsay is a champ), but oh my gosh, it was challenging.
Not a bad way to kick off the week!

Are there are other male bloggers at these conferences? Way back when the Internet was in its infancy I used to go to all sorts of gatherings for people who used the local electronic bulletin board system which was accessed via a dial-in modem (this occurred during the years of 1995-1999) and I had loads of fun at those, so I’m thinking these conferences would be fun too. Maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places, but I just don’t see many male healthy living bloggers or running bloggers. The number of women also significantly dwarfs the number of men in the #FitBlog Twitter too.
What a cozy looking cafe, and the food looks delicious too! Great way to start the day.
