Vacation Nation

July 2, 2012 by Julie 69 Comments

If the amount of people at the gym this morning is any indication of how many people are off on vacation this week, I’m pretty sure a grand total of five of you will be reading PBF this week.

love you best

To those of you who aren’t anywhere cool at the moment, I’m glad you’re here!

Sadie said she’ll try to look extra cute for you this week.

not a good start

It’s Monday. She’s needs a little practice. Weekends make her rusty.

Workout

This morning’s workout was decent. Nothing fantastic, but nothing horrific either, so I’ll take it!

I began my time at the gym with 20 minutes on the elliptical while reading Ocala Magazine before meandering into the weight room to do a leg workout that included the following exercises:

  • Step Ups
  • Squats
  • Deadlifts
  • Lunges
  • Hamstring Ball Curls
  • Bridges

Breakfast

Breakfast was calling to me as I quickly showered after the gym. Thankfully it came together quickly since I prepped it last night.

overnight oats with nuts

I topped a batch of overnight oats with a handful of almonds and cashews.

Brain fuel!

    I love cashews! But I just recently found out they are actually a legume and not a nut. First tomatoes are a fruit and now cashews are a bean…my world is falling apart! ha!

    I was on vacation for all of last week, and I still kept up with the pbfingers blog! The boyfriend quickly learned not to interrupt my reading during breakfast 😉

    I like the idea of it being “Sadie week” for those of us still stuck at work! I think it’s a guaranteed way to get your readers who are out this week to go back and look at this week’s posts!! Think about it, then go get some cute Sadie pics for us, please 🙂

    Today is our day off since Canada Day fell on Sunday, and my gym was pretty quiet today too when I first got there. A lot of my gym buddies are teachers, and now that’s school’s out for the summer, I think they’re all really enjoying their sleep in the mornings!

    That oatmeal looks delish! Our gym was pretty crowded today (I think I was the youngest person there though with the exception of one other person lol). I wake up earlier than most 22 year olds I guess;). Sadie is looking adorable as usual!

    Looks like people may be on vacation but certainly not taking one from your awesome blog!!!

    I wish I were on vacation but no……that will have to wait until the end of the month. Even then, it is a quick weekend vacay. I won’t complain though…better than nothing!!
