Fun {Fall} Workout

Good Morning!

I’ve completed 17/21 days for my 21 day challenge! I’m so close to finishing this up and I’m feeling better than ever! I can’t wait to arrive at my cousin’s tomorrow and plant myself by the pool. I still have 4 more workouts though and if I can finish that, then I’ll get a prize from Nick! *happy dance*

Last night, my WORKOUT started with 10 minutes on the eliptical, but the one that slides… do you know what I’m talking about?

Big Brother was on at the time and it was a challenge to not look at the screen. I’ll go home and watch that after work today! Once I finished on the eliptical, I opted for a workout by It’s Progression. I realized in all these circuit workouts that I haven’t done much with my arms. Honestly, I hate working my arms because I feel so dang weak! I love working my legs though. It was finally time to bite the bullet.

I didn’t complete the 3 circuits, but I did 2. I really enjoyed the jumping jacks & planks in between each exercise. And honestly, the fall theme attracted me because yesterday & today actually feel like Fall in Mississippi! Crazy, right?!

When I got home from the gym, Cappie was looking WAY.TOO.CUTE! We had a little mini photo session

I realized that my frontal camera is ridiculously grainy compared to the reguarl camera on my phone. I’m looking forward to a new phone in October! My iphone has been a pain in my rear lately!

Back to that dog though, I love him so stinkin’ much! He’s so full of personality and he’s pretty obsessed with me right now, which I love! When we first got Cappie, he wanted to be like our cats. Of course, cats have no problem jumping on things so they would always sit on the back of our couch. It took Cappie a few stumbles to finally figure out how to make that work, but he nailed it! We’ll get home from dinner a lot of times and he’s sitting up there wagging his little tail at the perfect height for petting.

Are you starting to feel Fall weather creep in?! How crazy is that??
What little personality quirk does your pet have?

I think our weather is cooling off like this because I see 4-5 days of thunderstorms in our near future.

Deer in the front yard

We finally made our way to Gainesville around 3am (FL time) this morning. We weren’t able to leave Starkville until about 5pm, so we grabbed our Starbucks before heading out.

Woke up this morning and grabbed some BREAKFAST – it turned out perfect! An open-faced egg & cheese sandwich. It fueled me for our run this morning!

We had the most exciting encounter on our run this morning!

DEER!!!!!

They were standing right in the front yard of a house for sale and they didn’t run off or anything! We saw 2 adults and kept walking then saw 3 little babies! I couldn’t believe how calm they were and how close they were! It was the coolest thing!

Once we passed by the first time, I wanted to get a picture with them on our way back, but they had started moving. You can barely see them and at this point they were eyeing me down because they were back with their babies. If you look closely between those 2 trees below, you’ll see them standing there.

I was overwhelmed with excitement. They were so beautiful!

My dad’s been sending me the cutest pictures of cappie too, so here’s something to brighten up your hopefully amazing 4th of July!

He made himself right at home at my Nanny’s house this weekend!

Have you ever seen deer on a run that close to you?
What are you doing today for the 4th?

We’re about to go to a 4th of July party and we’ll be seeing some fireworks tonight, of course!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Blanket Hoarder

Good Morning!! Who is ready for this 3 day weekend!?

Today isn’t even “hump” day because technically we’re already past our half-way point, yay!

Last night, I went back to my HIIT class and it was another great sweaty workout. Maybe one day I’ll get over my gym shyness and snap a picture of my sweaty glory – have no fear though, I’m quite courageous in my car! I have no doubt that this class will be a weekly staple for me now. There is always an Ab class afterwards, so I stayed for that.

After my workout, I went home and cooked up DINNER, which felt extremely southern…. Meatless Morning Star BBQ ribs & mustard potato salad. I’m honestly loving these BBQ ribs more than the real thing! There is no fat pieces that you run in to and get grossed out by (no bones either!), the BBQ sauce tastes just like it should, and it shreds apart to create the right texture.

Then finished it off with a toffee crunch icecream!

I might have ended up with 2 desserts last night, but when your mom offers you a Berry Shortcake later in the evening….. YOU DO NOT SAY NO! Because it’s delicious, and has fruit, so it’s justified. I made this on my blog last 4th of July!

BLANKET HOARDER

Do you have a blanket hog? Maybe your spouse hogs the blankets at night… or you have a sister that when you sleep with her, she tosses and turns so much that she ends up with all the blankets (honestly, I’m not sure if that’s me or my sisters… I think we go back and forth!)…. well do you have a DOG who hogs the blankets? I believe we have a hoarder in our midst.

Cappie has a pillow pad in my room where he likes to sleep. He typically has his one blanket to ruffle up and get comfy with. Well when I got back from Middle School Camp this past weekend, I had put 2 other blankets on my floor to wash later. Lo and Behold…. he has moved them to his pillow pad and is hoarding them.

First, he brought one of the blankets over…

Clearly, he needed another though….

He’s such a goober! Constantly cracking me up with his pom personality!

This morning for BREAKFAST, I finished off my vegetarian bacon with 2 bacon biscuits! I had a side of cranberry juice to wash it down. It satisfied my hunger and now I’m off to work!

Does your dog hoard blankets?
What’s your favorite Fourth of July treat?
What plans do you have this weekend!?
