It’s not even 8 a.m. and I feel like I’m on a roll. I’ve already spent an hour on a work-related project, completed a sweaty workout and sent out some important emails that were burning a hole in my inbox. I hope my day keeps truckin’ along at this speed!
30 Minute Treadmill Interval Workout
Today’s workout had me running, walking and sprinting on the treadmill.
I completed the following 30-minute treadmill interval workout:
Holy crap, I felt like my legs might fly out from underneath me during the three 30-second intervals at 10.0. I felt like Phoebe Buffay running through Central Park with my legs and arms flailing.
10.0 is no joke!
I rounded out my workout with 15 minutes of abdominal exercises on the floor. One guy at the gym joked that he liked my moves when he saw me just lying there staring up at the ceiling. I feel like whenever I set out to do ab work on the floor, I spend half the time zoning out on my mat. I’m very hardcore.
Breakfast
Breakfast this morning included two toasted whole wheat waffles, topped with a combination of ricotta cheese and cottage cheese, a sliced pear and pumpkin pie spice.
Gosh, I love this breakfast so much!
Trademarked
Big news for PBF!
Yesterday I received the news that Peanut Butter Fingers is officially a registered trademark!
That lil’ “R” didn’t come cheap, but it’s definitely worth it since someone else could’ve previously come in, trademarked “Peanut Butter Fingers” and basically screwed me over.
I started the trademarking process last summer and after several months of waiting, I finally received the good news yesterday. The law firm I was working with notified me that they received the Trademark Registration Certificate from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for “Peanut Butter Fingers” yesterday morning and I should have it in my possession within the week!
I remember when we started the trademarking process, I was informed that the two issues with the name “Peanut Butter Fingers” that popped up were with Butterfinger candy bars and a pie previously made by TGIFriday’s that was called something along the lines of Peanut Butter Nutter Butterfinger Pie.
So now I am just waiting for the day that Butterfinger decides to make a Peanut Butterfinger candy bar so they can offer me millions to let them have free reign of my blog name.
Unfortunately I don’t see this happening anytime soon since Butterfingers are already peanut buttery, but let’s just say I’d be happy to make a deal, Nestle.

I agree, 10.0 is no joke! Actually 9.0 is no joke for me and I can guarantee you Phoebe looks better running than I do! 🙂 glad to hear PBF is now trademarked! Congrats Julie!
Wow!! Sounds your day is off to a great start!! I love that episode of Friends….sooo funny!!!
Whenever I put the treadmill at 9.0 or higher I feel like a superhero. My short little legs have to churn so fast it’s comical.
Hahaha, I hope they do make a peanut butter finger candy! 😉
you and me both! 😀
You have had a very productive day so far – very impressive! Congratulations on the trademark! That’s really exciting, and I’m glad that the long process was worth it.
congrats on the trademark that is really exciting!
Holy Smokin’ legs of Fury! I will be pinning that workout and creating my own bucket of sweat!
Congrats on the trademark!!! Awesome!!:-)
Woah! 10.0 is intense! Good for you 🙂
haha this is awesome! you’re such a business savvy woman now 🙂 it’s incredible how long you’ve waited for this and now it’s here! AH!
CONGRATS! That’s awesome…and I’m so glad someone else knows what Phoebe’s run looks like! When I’m in long dance rehearsals and my ADD kicks in, I may or may not pull out the Phoebe run every once and a while… 😉
Congrats! That must be so exciting!! :). I love how productive you’ve been already this morning… Haha Wish I could say the same!
Congratulations, Julie!!
And I’m totally with you with all my strength moves incorporating LOTS of zoning out time. I think it’s fairly typical, though? I feel like when I look around the weight room, lots of people are milling around/between sets/doing nothing. Maybe my gym is just a lazy one! 🙂
It’s challenging in the blog world to feel like you own anything – at least you’ve got the name for sure!
Haha you’d probably get quite a lot of money from them for that name! And I did a 30 sec sprint at 10 a couple weeks ago and was seriously afraid I would fly off the treadmill!
Congrats on the trademark! That is awesome and such a good idea! 🙂
You’re right – 10 mph is no joke! Good luck with those millions 😉
Congratulations on being trademarked. It’s so cool how you are expanding your blog into something so big. You and the work you do are very inspirational 🙂
Congrats on your trademark. Is it so cool to be trademarked?
I do the same thing with ab work on the floor – it’s funner just to lay there.
I LOVE the feeling of accomplishment after a fab workout…like I can conquer the world!! Congrats on the trademark!!
Congrats on the trademarking! Reese’s might in their before Nestle with millions, make sure to keep you’re eyes peeled for any PB references 🙂
way to persevere Julie! CONGRATULATIONS!
Congrats Julie! That is awesome news 🙂
Congrats on your big R Julie, and awesome work on your productive day so far! Here’s to a great morning and afternoon too! 🙂
Congrats!! That is so exciting :). And um apparently I’m a dummy because I never even thought about butterfingers when thinking of your blog haha. I totally agree with you that 10.0 is intense! I always feel so accomplished when I run at that speed!
Haha I love it! I could totally see someone wanting to name some candy bar Peanut Butter Fingers…I’ll keep my fingers crossed for ya!
Congrats! That’s such exciting news!
Haha, that would be the deal of a lifetime! 😉
Congrats on getting trademarked, that’s awesome news!
Congrats on the trademark, lady!
I was actually planning on putting together speeds that are EXACTLY the same as yours today. Great minds think alike! Now I just wish mine was already finished too, lol 😉
Congratulations Julie that is so exciting!
Congrats on the trademark! Such an exciting day!
Woo hoo! Congrats on the trade mark 🙂
Running at 10mph is just baller- 9 is my absolute max!
So exciting! Congrats!
And hilarious… maybe someday Nestle will come knocking at your door 🙂
haha that’s the plan 😉
Congrats on the trademark – very exciting! I feel the same way when I’ doing abs.. I feel like people only look at me when I’m just sitting on the mat staring at the floor!
Thank you for this breakdown of your interval cardio – I am going to need to ramp up my cardio again soon (time to start leaning out! :)) and this is a perfect roadmap, if you will, of something try work towards!
I’m also so excited to have stumbled across your blog! Congrats on your registered trademark success, and I will certainly be checking back in!
Wheat waffles recipe? And congrats on the trademark!!!
Well that’s a big business step! Congrats, Julie!
Congrats on the Trademark! That is very exciting 🙂
Congrats on the trademark! That is HUGE news!!!
Congrats on the trademark! So exciting!!
Congrats on the TM! That’s a huge accomplisment! 🙂
Those are exciting news!!! Congrats!
So how many days a week to you exercise on average? It seems like everyday but my days run together. You are so dedicated to your workout. I admire that. Keep up the good work. You are doing your body right!
Nevermind. I just looked at your workout log above and I see that you exercise a consistent 6 days a week. IMPRESSIVE!!!
I recently started taking CrossFit classes. Have you heard of those? I love it.
i’ve heard of them but never taken one! ryan really wants to try it out and i said i’d like to try it myself sometime. hopefully we will soon!
congrats on the trademark, that is awesome! I’m pretty sure i’d fall off the treadmill going at 10.0..not coordinated enough for that kind of speed at all! hahaha
Hey congrats! That’s awesome. In all seriousness, there’s a good chance something like that could happen … some big company could want your name and offer you good money for it. That would be su-weet! 😉
CONGRATS!! SO exciting!
you’re right, 10 mph is on the treadmill is no joke! i love sprints though. they always make me feel so great when i’m finished!
congrats on your trademark! woot!
Congratulations, your blog is amazing so it’s defenitely worth the money since you live off of your writing!
