Well gooooood morning! We’ve made it to Thursday…already. Anyone else finding this week movin’ rather quickly? Hey, I’m not complaining.
Workout
Being Thursday and all, I headed out bright and early (in the oh, I don’t know, 5 degree weather) for some BodyPump. Today’s class seemed super challenging, which I’m attributing to it being 2+ weeks since I’ve last taken a class. I’m still not loving the music, but I do love the burn!
Oh yeah, and to fill you guys in…remember when I took that Focusmaster class last Thursday and was contemplating joining? Well, I decided against it. As great as the class was, I just couldn’t guarantee that I would commit and make it worth my while. And even though it was a good deal, I really didn’t feel like shelling out the extra moola. Maybe I’ll do another drop in class here or there…who knows?
Breakfast
Well would ya look at that? Look what’s making a return into the breakfast rotation…
The cereal combo! Today’s bowl included (mostly) Kashi Go Lean, a sprinkling of mallow oats, loads of blueberries, unsweetened almond milk, and chia seeds.
(Shhh, don’t tell Jim about the marshmallows…I’m pretty sure they’re not a part of the plan. But it’s okay, I only used a sprinkling).
One cool thing to note, however, is that Jim did give my chia seeds a thumbs up. He’s a big fan of incorporating chia seeds and recommends consuming one serving a day. Saweeet!
And I totally forgot to mention this sooner, but aren’t these placemats pretty? They’re totally spring time, but who says you can’t decorate for spring in the beginning of January, right?
My MIL actually got these placemats and matching napkins for us for our anniversary. It was her “spin” on the cotton anniversary, which I thought was very clever.
Pretty AND delicious. Holla!
*****
Okay, now on a totally different note before I go…has anyone seen the latest Geico commercial with Maxwell the pig on the zip line?
I’m pretty sure I get it from my dad, but anytime there’s any sort of humor with animals involved, I just can’t help but crack right up. Magazine ads (the ones with the cat and the litter box), commercials, and movies are all equally funny.
But I think between me and my dad, our favorite humorous animal would have to be the gopher from Caddyshack.
My dad even has a replica on his desk at work that plays music and dances. Absolutely hilarious!
Questions for the Morning:
What kind of humor do you enjoy most?
Are there any other animal ads/commercials/movies that are super funny?
Alyssa @ Life of bLyss says
I still love the target lady commercials. AND the e-trade baby commercials, especially the following:

“apparently riding the dog like a horse is FROWNED UPON in this ESTABLISHMENT.”
Kathryn says
That’s my mom’s favorite commercial! Anytime she’s in trouble, that’s what she posts on FB, lol. LOVE IT!
Mallory @ Have your cake says
i love kashi go lean! so much protein and it’s so crunchy. my ex used to call it the “twig” cereal because of the little fiber pieces… he thought they both looked like and tasted like sticks. LOL.
Courtney says
That sounds exactly like something my husband would say…actually, I’m pretty sure he has ;)
Lena @Fit on the Rocks says
haha the stupid animal commercials get me, too! How long has it been since the gecko has been on Geico commericals, and he STILL amuses me. Then again, it doesn’t take much to amuse me.
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
OMG I haven’t seen that commercial yet but I’m scared to watch it here and work and burst out laughing. Definitely checking it out once I get home. ;)
Sylvia @ Frolic Through Life says
I love commercials with funny kids – especially the Etrade babies. That milkaholic Lindsey wasn’t over right? I also love the Geico gecko, especially the New York one – Want to park all your vehicles? Fuhgeddaboudit!
Jana says
I love the Geico commercial with the pig who
“Wee wee wee’s” the whole ride home. Ha I totally forget the whole purpose gir the pig, but it makes me crack up every time!http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?v=8F_G2zp-opg
Lindsey says
I love that gopher, I had a stuffed animal when I was younger that looked just like him! And Caddyshack was a favorite movie of mine when I was younger too!
Lindsay @ In Sweetness and In Health says
Hahahahah that is too funny. You have to see these animal pins that I found on pinterest- they literally made me laugh out loud and my roommate was questioning my sanity ;)

Courtney says
LOL…I just went and repinned all three of those. They are GREAT!
JN says
LOL, I just saw this commercial for the first time this morning. I loved the first one, and this one is just as annoying with the “Weee, weee, weee!’ all the way down the zip line. :)
Andrea @ Andrea Out Loud! says
I LOVE animal humor. it is probably my favorite. Or hilarious dancing!
alyssa - fashion fitness foodie says
The target lady always cracks me up!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
I love animal humor too – I actually love those commercials with the rapping hamsters.
Ashley @ Freckles & Spice says
I love cereal combos, especially with like an entire pint of blueberries.
That pig commercial actually drives me nuts. I’m all for funny animals, but that noise just makes me cringe.
Elizabeth says
I can’t tell if you think 5 degrees is cold or not :P It’s -20 where I live right now! Which really, really sucks ….
Tina @ Best Body Fitness says
That commercial cracked me up too! Love that pig.
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
Those commercials crack me up, too!
Kathryn says
Hmm, my favorite animal commercials would be the Bush’s Baked Beans with Duke the dog, who’s always trying to see the secret family recipe. However, my favorite commercials right now involve the Allstate Mayhem guy, with this one being my favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thzUR_mq6OY
Angela @ Health Happiness & Harmony says
I haven’t had a bowl of cereal in such a long time! Time for me to bring it back into my rotation too! :)
Kristin @ FoodFash says
Ohhh I’m probably going to have to be on the hunt for Mallow Oats this weekend! My week is speeding along as well, and I’m totally not complaining :)
Hope says
I seriously love that Geico pig! I had no clue that they made another commercial with him. Thanks for posting :)
Khushboo says
After all the festivities I was dreading going back to full-on work this week…thank goodness it has flown by..although scarily fast!
Kim says
Oh my goodness, please tell me that you’ve seen those old Blockbuster commercials with “Carl and Ray” the guinea pig and rabbit???
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpiunE_x6Rc
They are hilarious! I thought they were so funny, my parents bought me talking Carl/Ray stuffed animals one year lol.
erica says
i love that commercial!!! weeeeeeeeee! weeeeeeee! cracks me up all the time. hahaha.
Shannon says
I think it’s weird that Maxwell can say “weeeeeeee” at a high pitch, but when it comes to normal speaking voice, it is extremely deep. When that change happens on those Geico commercials, I get freaked out each time. :(
I still like the Aflac Duck commercials and the woodchuck GEICO commercial. When the Aflac Duck became a Macy’s parade balloon, I was so estatic!
