It feels SO good to get my sweat on after the holidays. Why wait till January 1st? Start today!
Yesterday’s workout was simply 30 minutes on the elliptical and a circuit strength workout.
Other random things from yesterday include..
Bentley got a bath, he’s very kissable now.
Big spender by Essie. In love.
Dinner was chicken, broccoli, and a potato.
This morning I woke up with the sun to get my run in. I completed 4 miles and hovered around a 9 min/mile pace the entire time.
I came back and did my new favorite yoga video. I’ve been doing this yoga video on the days where I have a short run, and I already feel myself improving.
My flexibility, balance, coordination, everything. I absolutely love it and I really want to stick with it!
Post-workout breakfast was something you’ve all seen many times.
Plain yogurt with blackberries and a plum. Whole wheat English muffin, with almond butter, banana, and a pinch of chia seeds.
I would love to start branching out my breakfasts, but when I’m starving I make the fastest thing I can.

Try yoga
That’s awesome that you always try new things!
I just started yoga and I think I’m seeing pretty quick results too! I loooove TaraStilesYoga on YouTube; she’s super calming and her routines are great. Glad to hear you got in a good workout, post-Christmas.

Agreed! It felt awesome getting my sweat on yesterday. Although I felt like I was sweating sugar. Haha!
And I always go to the same ole same ole for breakfasts and lunches. I know it satisfies me so why change it?!

Ahhh so cute!!!
I’m like you – my breakfasts are usually always the same. I’m okay with that though because I love my bowl of Kellogg’s FiberPlus – yum! Dinner is probably when I get the most creative and try new things. I like having my family home to help me out in the kitchen. Its such a great experience for my little ones.
Me too! That sounds great.
Yup – I’ve seen that breakfast a few times, but it always looks good! haha
I’m rocking dark purple nail polish right now. It is a wee bit darker than I’d like since it kinda’ looks black, but I still like it.

Haha, never gets old. I loveeee dark dark nail polish. I’m sure it’s gorg!
I love that nail polish color! Mine is a pale purple…I’ve been raiding my sister’s closet at home and she loves plum colored shirts. It matches beautifully
PS: I love working out between Christmas and NYE. I always try to savor the empty gym before resolutions kick in!

Love that Essie color! So pretty
Thanks!
Yay
I can’t wait for my chobani! i love working out after the holidays…its a great way to de-stress and get back to a normal schedule. i always seem to try new things for dinner because during school its usually the only meal i have time to change up!
Can’t wait for you to get it! I totally agree
I love Essie. Building my stash of colors. I’m always posting the stuff on Instagram (oatmealbowl).
As for the yoga video…it now shows a spring water video. However, I am doing Danielle Diamond’s Xen Strength Yoga with weights and Loving it. Definitely a good workout but you feel great after cuz it stretches you out. Love yoga in general.

The water one is just an advertisement I think! lol. I will definitely check that you, thank you!
Love that nail polish color! And that English muffin looks so simple, but SO good!
Considering that I’m a yoga teacher, I definitely love it!
I practice pretty much every day and it’s become just a part of my daily routine.
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope recently posted..Christmas Comes Early
I need to practice every day! I’m trying! That’s awesome that you teach
LOVE that essie color! so chic and perfect for the winter
doesn’t it always just feel so fab to get a good workout in after a treatskie weekend!
Thanks! Yesss it felt amazing:D
Julie + yoga = Julie failing. I am no good with yoga, I need more patience and practice at it. Neither thing is a forte…… I love that nail color! SOooo beautiful!

I used to be really awful at concentrating too, but I’ve gotten SO much better. Thank you!
I get in breakfast ruts too. I always go for the same thing! I’d actually like to try yours though, it sounds delicious. My most versatile meal is lunch. Since I pack it in advanced I tend to bring more fun, different things. When I’m making something at home I get impatient and just want something quick!

I definitely get impatient too!
