Yesterday was a BUSY day for this gal! Did you miss me?
Quick Catch Up:
After work, I headed to the gym for some cardio. I ended up doing an old favorite: 45 minute treadmill walk, followed by 10 mins on the elliptical. I’ve been doing the elliptical for so long because of my foot, that I kind of forgot what a great workout power walking is. WOW! I loved every minute of it.
AND, on top of that, I was able to do complete almost a 1/4 mile running with little discomfort. Looks like we’re getting there, slowly but surely!
After the gym, I had to go and get my car fixed. The muffler was basically about to fall off (
) and that would not have been good.
After getting the ‘ol car spruced up, I headed over to The Fresh Market to pick up some more coffee since we were running low, and by the time I got home, I was beat. I pretty much vegged out on the couch for the evening, not doing a whole lot of anything…
It was awesome.
So now I’m ready to conquer my day…rain and all. Ohhh the leaves……
Does this scene not scream, “Stay at home in your sweats today!”?!?
Well, since that’s not possible, I’ll just have to embrace it. But that’s ok because it’s COFFEE FRIDAY!
And even better, another awesome breakfast is waiting for me.
I debated on having something different from yesterday, but I just couldn’t do it guys. Hey, when you have a loaf of Honey Raisin Banana Pumpkin Bread sitting in your kitchen, you don’t let it go untouched.
Along with my bread, I have a honey flavored Chobani yogurt and another ‘naner. Looks like I better get going on these bananas quick, otherwise somebody’s gonna have to do some more baking…
So mayyyybe I’ll just have to let them sit around a teency bit longer?
After work today, I’m heading back to the gym for my first BodyPump class in weeks. After consulting my Workout Log, I realized I haven’t been to one since August 19th! I’m already afraid of what my body will feel like tomorrow.
I’ve got a fun Fashion Friday post coming up this afternoon, so be sure to check it out!
Question for the Morning:
Bananas: Do you like ‘em green, bright yellow, or nice and brown & spotty?
I can’t stand a green banana, and really don’t like a bright yellow one as much either. I always try to wait until they at least start accumulating a few brown spots. That’s when they’re nice and ripe and sweet.

I like my bananas just like you, a few brown spots, nice and sweet! Your pumpkin loaf looks great, I need to make one this weekend! Yum
I like them yellow or with a few brown spots. I don’t like when they get mushy at all though.
That does sound like a yummy breakfast. Too bad you couldn’t just enjoy it and stay inside the rest of the day.
I actually like them just when they turn from green to yellow – I know I’m in the minority here. I don’t know many people who prefer them that way, but I actually really dislike when they start to get brown… and they turn brown so fast!:(
I hate rainy days..they SO do not help in the motivation department! Well, at least you had that delish bread to keep you company!
I like my bananas ripe too. Have fun @ BP – I’m jealous!
Ripe with brown spots. I also love frozen bananas that turn SUPER ripe because they are sweet AND not too mushy.
just perfectly yellow, with maybe a little brown. i can’t eat green bananas – there’s something in bananas before they ripen that your body can’t digest and it will give you a HORRIBLE stomach ache. i don’t know who can actually eat green bananas without experiencing this. it’s awful! love your bread woman!
I love a freckled banana! And that bread does look good. The weather looks similar here in Philly. I just want to curl up with a good book all day when it rains like this!
I like mine bright yellow or with just a feeeew freckles:)
My bananas need to be green! I actually like my bananas to have a little crunch!
spotty bananas please!!!
I live in New York as well (Hudson Valley area) and we got so much rain!! We had some flooding here. I hope you didn’t get flooded!
Spotty bananas all the way!
Bananas that aren’t all green but are just barely turning yellow. No spots for me – ew.
