Subtle Hints

By Courtney 59 Comments

It’s official…

BodyCombat has seriously combated me.

I am literally amazed at the amount of soreness that this class can afflict on my body. I mean, you guys know that exercise is no stranger to me, but there’s just something about that class that manages to effect my entire body.

That being said…I love every second of it (except, of course, for when I have to try sitting down. Oooof).

When trying to figure out this morning’s workout, I was feeling rather limited. Running, yoga, and Pilates were all out of the question due to my beyond-fatigued muscles, so I opted for an old standby: the 45 Minute Treadmill Walk. I managed to kick it up a few notches so even though it was walking, I still made sure to push it to the max.

After getting my walk on, I headed back upstairs, only to find my little man waiting for me.

I think he’s trying to tell me something…

IMG_5950

I know bud, mommy’s gotta do the laundry. Thanks for the subtle hints…did dad put you up to this??

IMG_5951

I’ll bet he did. Winking smile

*****

Breakfast was a quick and easy one, since I need to scoot my sore boo-tay out the door in a few minutes. A cereal combo will always come through in a pinch!

IMG_5954

Today’s combo: Fiber One 80 Calorie Honey Squares, Kashi Honey Sunshine (<—first time trying this one, but I really like it), skim milk, sliced banana, and chia seeds. Yes, I finally remembered the chia seeds.

IMG_5956

I’m also bringing my iced coffee on the road with me this morning. I have to go and get some new tires for my car, so this will (hopefully) help beat the boredom along with my latest Emily Giffin book…

IMG_5958IMG_5960

I finally finished my last Emily Giffin book on the way home from Wildwood last week, all while fighting off the car sickness from reading in the car. But it was definitely worth it because I LOVED the ending to that book! Hopefully this one is just as good. Smile

Questions for the Morning (based from my “Would You Rather” game!)

WOULD YOU RATHER…

  • Eat 20 cheeseburgers OR eat nothing for 3 days
  • Grow old and be happy OR stay young and be depressed
  • Poop your pants in public OR be pooped on (<—this one is hilarious!!!!)

    2. Old and happy! I am waiting for the day where I can retire :-)

    3. Poop my pants for sure! I would die if the other option happened!

    Whenever someone says they are reading the Heart of the Matter, I always get confused because I always think they are reading the Graham Greene novel, and they are instead reading the Emily Griffin one. Since I’ve already read the first, maybe I should check out this one. :)

    1. I’d say eat nothing for 3 days – but I’d be the biggest bitch on Earth. So I’ll have to go with the 20 burgers :)
    2. Grow old and be happy!! Sometimes I think I’m a grandma living in a 23-year-old’s body anyway.
    3. Oh my gosh, be pooped on – but not by a human! Maybe a bird? That’s not so bad..But come on, wouldn’t you just die if you pooped your pants in public?! AHHH!!

    I would rather not eat anything for 3 days, I don’t think I could benefit from eating 20 in any ways shape or form.
    Grow old happy, it’s the way it is supposed to be.
    Poop my pants, and hopefully not have to stay in public long… LOVE that game!

    1. Eat nothing for 3 days. I am not sure that I could stomach 20 burgers. Ugh.

    2. Old and happy with my hubby :)

    3. Umm, if I HAD to choose. I guess I would say be pooped on since that is sure to happen one day when I have a baby.

    Eat 20 cheeseburgers OR eat nothing for 3 days eat 20 cheeseburgers! I would just be walking on the treadmill while eating. :)

    Grow old and be happy OR stay young and be depressed Grow old and be happy! Happiness brings out true beauty, no matter what age.

    Poop your pants in public OR be pooped on (<—this one is hilarious!!!!) Be pooped on. I can wipe it off and still have some of my dignity left!

    1. Eat nothing– I’d be a bitch and a half, because I get really grouchy when I’m hungry, but ewww- 20 burgers a day for 3 days?! (Or 20 burgers IN three days?) Regardless, my answer is nothing haha

    2. Old and be happy- what’s the point of being young if you’re not even happy?

    3. Pooped on. I can tolerate poop. Vomit – not so much. Lol.

    2. old and happy. if i was depressed and young i wouldn’t be living it up like you should be when you’re young!

    Your readers are pretty wise. Does it state whom would be pooping on you? Cause a bird wouldn’t be so bad, or even baby poop (as long as it was your baby).

    Omg haha…those questions are funny.
    1. I would rather eat 20 cheeseburgers. I start getting super hungry after several hours, so 3 days of no eating would be an ugly site.
    2. I would definitely rather get old and be happy.
    3. Um…I’m really not sure- these both sound awful. I guess I’d rather get pooped on because then at lease I don’t have to be embarrassed for something I did.

    I’d rather:
    – eat nothing for 3 days. Then again, if I ate 20 cheeseburgers, I’d probably not eat for 3 days anyways.
    – Grow old & happy. The young & miserable thing sucks. I’d rather enjoy life, no matter what age!
    – I’d rather get pooped on. It’s already happened to me in NYC (from a pigeon) when I was eating ice cream. It was disgusting, but I showered & survived. The humiliation from pooping your pants might cause me to lock myself away.

    2. Grow old and be happy OR stay young and be depressed – obviously grow old and happy!!!! Happiness is better than anything :)
    3. Poop your pants in public OR be pooped on – um, I am not so sure about this one… I guess I would have to go with poop in my pants (even though I am not a fan of either)

    3 whole days without food? 3 WHOLE DAYS? No.thank.you. And I don’t even really like cheeseburgers. Maybe if it was 20 sliders it’d be easier? I’d still do that over skipping food.

    I would rather grow old and happy – being sad/depressed is no fun. I love happiness and laughter, and I love life, so why not live it for a long time and be happy about it?!

    Poop or be pooped on? Really? Who came up with these questions?! LOL! I’m going to have to go with pooping. I mean, I don’t even like using the pooper scooper to clean up after my dog, nevermind having poop actually ON ME. GACK!
