So This Is What Early Monday Mornings Feel Like?

By Courtney Leave a Comment

Ahhh, Monday morning…I did not miss you these past 2-1/2 months! ;)

Good Morning!! Is everyone feeling nice and well rested from their weekend? Probably not…but we can pretend, right??

Workout

Believe it or not, I was actually able to get myself up and moving bright and early this morning for a workout. I blame it on the guilt from overindulging on football party food. ;) But hey, whatever the motivation, at least I got it done! I completed two workouts from Exercise on Demand – one old, one new. I started off with a new one: 10lb. Slimdown Body Blast and finished off with an oldie but a goodie: 10lb. Slimdown CORE. I find myself going back to this series quite a bit. I really like the trainer, Chris Freyteg; she’s quite motivating without being too cheesy like some other videos. :) Overall, it was a great way to start my morning!

Breakfast

I’m running a little behind schedule this morning (surprise) so my original bowl of oatmeal will have to wait until tomorrow. So for now, I’m toasting up one of these, topping it with some of that…

…and enjoying a bananer along with it.

And of course, you can’t forget about my mug of Almond Amaretto coffee. Yummm.

Hey, check out the fun gifts that were waiting for us when we got home last night…Yankee Candles! And better yet, FALL SCENTED Yankee Candles. Jay’s mom said that she was out shopping in Old Sturbridge Village over the weekend, dropped by the Yankee Candle store, and saw that everything was buy one, get one free. I can’t wait to try these out. Thanks so much for thinking of us Rosemary! :-D

I have some “Ask Me Anything” answers comin’ up for ya this afternoon, so make sure you check back later.

AND, in case you missed it, the long-awaited Pumpkin Spice Cupcake recipe was posted over the weekend; but not on this blog…it was over on Carrots ‘N’ Cake! Make sure you give that one a peek too. ;)

Question for the Morning:

Which would you choose: Apple picking or pumpkin carving? :)

    Everyone has been raving about that White Chocolate Wonderful stuff. I think it's time I pick some up. I'd pick apple picking. Pumpkin carving gets tough after a while;)

    We love to get a bunch of folks together annually to carve pumpkins. Then you get to see 20-30 of them lit up at night. So cool.

    Hmm, a tough decision, but I would have to say apple picking! I worked out early today as well and it makes me feel so much better that I wasn't doing it alone! :)

    Pumpkin carving. I used to do both as a girl, but I have many more memories of the pumpkin patch. I love PB & Co. I finally stopped by there store and it was awesome! I still haven't had the white chocolate wonderful because I'm afraid once I start I won't be able to stop ;)

    Apple picking. I love pumpkin baked goodies but to me, the smell of the insides of the actual pumpkin are disgusting.

    I'm very curious about what the Autumn Leaves candle smells like. I bet the Almond Cookie scent is amazing!

    I'd go for the pumpkin carving- not a big apple fan. And I'm bound and determined to drag someone to go do it with me this year!
