There Was Nothing To Blog About

By 61 Comments

Would you believe that I actually had nothing to blog about last night? Nothing.

I know, talk about a shocker!

But as I sat down yesterday evening after eating dinner I realized, “Wow, I really have nothing to talk about at all tonight.” I thought about reaching to come up with something but then I decided that in this situation, no post would be better than a crappy post.

How do all of you guys feel about posts…quality vs. quantity?

*****

Anyways, part of the reason I had nothing to chat with ya’ll about last night was because dinner was just some not-so-exciting leftovers. Delicious, yes. Exciting, not really.

I had a piece of Sunday night’s leftover pizza along with a big ‘ol mixed veggie salad. Despite yesterday’s delicious breakfast and lunch, I was still craving some veggies.

Workout

This morning, I woke up pretty sore from yesterday’s BodyCombat class and not all that excited to workout. Usually once I get going I’m fine, but today required a little extra effort to get motivated.

Sometimes when I’m lacking the motivation, incorporating an old workout will do the trick, so I rummaged through some of my old routines and came up with 30 Minute Calorie Blast. I don’t even remember when the last time was that I did this, but it was a good one!

I followed up the run with some deadlifts (15 reps x 3 sets using two 15lb dumbbells) and a little extra stretching before deciding to call it a day. That was enough for me.

Breakfast

I am currently obsessed with blueberries.

I mean, why can’t blueberries always be in season? Really. They’re just so darn awesome. Especially when they’re mixed into a lemon flavored Chobani…

And incorporated into my “Wouldn’t Know They’re Healthy” Blueberry Muffins.

Don’t be surprised to see more blueberries make an appearance at lunch today. Winking smile

Oh, and don’t worry. I’m still obsessed with iced coffee too.

Since we got pummeled with rain yesterday afternoon, I never got a chance to make it out to Plato’s Closet to try to sell some of our old clothes, so that’s where I’m headed this morning….riiiiight after I shower.

Wish me luck! I’ll let ya’ll know how I make out this afternoon.

WOULD YOU RATHER…

  • Drink only water and alcohol for the rest of your life -OR- drink anything other than alcohol for the rest of your life?
  • Drink black coffee -OR- only eat dry cereal?
  • Have a freakishly huge smile -OR- a freakishly small nose?

  2. I'd rather... -Drink only water and alcohol for the rest of my life -Drink black coffee (need that milk in my cereal!) -Have a freakishly huge smile... duh! ;) And I totally believe in quality over quantity. I feel like I'm wasting my own time as well as my readers' time when I throw something lackluster out there.

  6. Do I spy pickles in your salad?? I love pickles, but I've never put them in my salad... is this something that I should be trying?! :) 1. Drink anything other than alcohol... I like a glass of wine or beer on occasion, but I don't drink all that much. 2. Black coffee.. I only put a splash of milk in now, so it wouldn't be a big deal. 3. A huge smile, of course! Then everyone will know how happy I am! ;)

  10. The first thing I noticed was the pickles in your salad - being a giant pickle lover, I am surprised to have to say that I have never tried that! But I will! I love the lemon chobani with blueberries too - I put Kashi Heart to Heart in it sometimes too (I think I got that idea from you? I get a lot of my ideas from you!). Quality over quantity any day - that's why I don't write every day, and I almost never write more than once a day (of course, I can't really find the time given this silly little thing called work!). I would stick with water and alcohol for the rest of my life (I hope beer and wine count in that department!) Black coffee - I have to have milk in my cereal! Huge smile - mine's already pretty big, and I'm fine with that!

  11. I don't think you should ever feel like you have to force a post, but I never get tired of reading your posts, so basically, I guess I'm saying it's up to you! If you have something to say, I bet most of us would like to read it. :)

  12. I love you Would You Rather questions!! Time for me to jump into this action. I would rather.... -Drink only water and alcohol for the rest of my life -Eat only dry cereal -Have a freakishly huge smile!! :) And I'm so happy about TGFA!!

  13. I love alcohol on the weekends, and I'm not ashamed to admit that. Dry ceral is a-okay with me! I've been told I have a Cindy Loo Who nose - like from the grinch. It's cute on a baby - not on an grown ass woman. So maybe I already have a freakishly small nose? But I'd rather have a big smile :D

  16. LOVE that you put pickles in your salad, people think I'm weird when I do that! I'd drink water and alcohol forever, only eat dry cereal and have a small nose!

  17. I would drink anything other than alcohol forever - initially I was going to say only water & alcohol but then I remembered COFFEE!! Which I cannot live without. Dry cereal, absolutely, that's not even bad at all! I already have a huge smile so I'll stick with what I'm workin' with! :)

  18. I agree, blueberries are my absolute favorite! I think quality over quantity for sure :) Drink anything but alcohol for sure! I know I could do without it. Dry cereal, I don't mind it at all! Freakishly huge smile! A small nose would be noticed all the time, a smile only most of the time ;)

  19. Drink anything other than alcohol...I don't need to drink, it just makes me sick! Only dry cereal, that's mostly what I eat anyways. I hardly use milk on my cereal! Huge smile, smiles are contagious ;)

  21. Your dinner from last night looks great! That salad is soooo colorful! We've been out of salad fixings this past week, so I think I'm gonig to have a salad beast for dinner tonight after seeing your dinner!

  25. Hi Courtney, I think that you made a great blog out of nothing to blog about. Everyone has leftovers once in a while and yours look healthy and good! 1. Water and Alcohol 2. I could go for either. I love coffee black, with milk or with cream. Dry cereal is just fine by me too. 3. Huge smile

  26. 1.Drink only water and alcohol. I gave up all other drinks about a year ago so it wouldn’t be much of a change. 2.Drink black coffee 3.Have a huge smile-my sister is my dentist so I need to keep her in business! :)

  27. Drink water and alcohol for sure... I loooove mixed drinks, and making them for friends! Black coffee over dry cereal, without a doubt. And a big smile over a small nose... even though I'd like a small nose, I have a big smile (for my face) and I always get complimented on it. It's even helped me get jobs in the past! So yes, big smile ftw!

  33. QUANTITY OVER QUALITY! I am a busy lady and I can barely keep up with reading my favourite blogs as it is, it would be really disappointing to read something that was just thrown together. -Anything but alcohol! I like to have some social drinks but I need coffee WAY more than alcohol ;) ! -I like black coffee but I LOVE dry cereal! I refused to eat cereal with milk until I was 16 or 17. I still choose dry cereal over cereal with milk! -Freakishly large smile! That way people know how happy I am!

  36. Definitely quality over quantity. I never mind waiting for a great post. And I personally get frustrated with posts that I write and don't enjoy. water and alcohol--I don't really drink coffee or tea often and thick smoothies don't count as a beverage if you eat them with a spoon ;) black coffee-I need my cereal Freakishly Big Smile--all smiles are beautiful even for the freakishly big!

  40. I hate when there's nothing to blog about! 1. Water and alcohol, but much more water than alcohol :P 2. I kind of like dry cereal anyways. Coffee, not so much. 3. Freakishly big smile. But only if I can get away with it like Julia Roberts!

  41. Quality over quantity for sure! I'd drink anything other than alcohol. While I enjoy a cocktail or two every now and then, I could easily go without it. I already eat dry cereal (can't stand soggy stuff, it's weird but it's what I like) guess i'd have to go with huge smile

  42. I would rather... 1. Drink only water and alcohol for the rest of my life...you know this girl here loves her champy ;) 2. Only eat dry cereal...I despise black coffee without any sweetener and I actually only eat cereal dry...rarely do I put milk in it...I know I'm weird 3. Have a freakishly huge smile...if it's like Giada's from Food Network then I'd be a happy camper :)

  43. Drink only water and alcohol for the rest of your life -OR- drink anything other than alcohol for the rest of your life? Those are pretty much the only two things I drink already, so I would do water and alchy for life! Drink black coffee -OR- only eat dry cereal? I eat like a toddler so dry cereal is my snack of choice. Have a freakishly huge smile -OR- a freakishly small nose? huge smile!

  44. 1. I can NOT give up my tea and coffee, and I'd be fine giving up alcohol. 2. Dry cereal! I stay away from copious amounts of milk (I have an intolerance to straight up cows milk, but not anything else dairy), and I don't like any of the milk alternatives on my cereal, so it's usually just a dry snack anyway. :) 3. Big smile!!

  46. I struggle with this a lot - blog about nothing, or don't blog at all. As a relatively new blogger (just over a month) I feel like I HAVE to post a couple of times a day to keep my whopping 4 loyal readers (hehe) coming back. But then I go back and read some of my posts and I'm like, "only I would find that remotely interesting." I need to embrace your quality vs. quantity mentality. I'm still learning. I also need to learn how to take more pictures (I always forget!), I have not mastered that just yet. So much to learn! Do you have any good tips for new bloggers out there? Would love to hear some insight from one of my fave bloggers! :) Oh, and to answer today's questions (I LOVE these BTW): 1) I would rather drink anything but alcohol. I only drink alcohol on occasion, so I could definitely go without. 2) Dry cereal, fo sho! YUM! 3) And I already do have a freakishly huge smile, so I will go with that. :)

  47. I vote quantity for sure :-) Haha I love those questions!! 1 - anything but water, because then I can coffee (and I hate alcohol) 2 - dry cereal, cos...I love dry cereal :-) 3 - a freakishly big smile, cos then I'd look like Julia Roberts! :D

  48. That's so AWESOME about TGFA! 1- I almost drink only water and wine, but I do love my coffee! Can that count as "water" since it's MADE with water?! 2- Black coffee- I'm not a cereal fan! 3- I have quite a big smile, so I'll go with that one ;-P Have a super day!

  49. I would drink anything other than alcohol because I can't give up iced coffee or fresh squeezed lemonade! :) I would eat my cereal dry. Big smile all the way! A smile is usually the first or second thing I notice about a person!

  50. Oh boy these are hard!! I think i would rather: - drink only water & alcohol. I mean, i love me some champagne. And wine! and margs! LOL... and vodka! Yea, this option -black coffee- im not a huge coffee drinker, but a HUGE cereal lover! loop hole! -I'll go with the smile. i think that may look better than the nose.

  51. 1. Drink only water and alcohol for the rest of your life -OR- drink anything other than alcohol for the rest of your life? This one is HARD!! I'm going with no alcohol since I can't give up coffee. 2. Drink black coffee -OR- only eat dry cereal? Black coffee!!! This is how I drink it already. 3. Have a freakishly huge smile -OR- a freakishly small nose? HUGE smile! :)

  53. I came across your blog by clicking through other blogs I am following. You look so familiar! I see you are from upstate. This is random but did you go to St. Rose? I went to St. Rose and graduated in 2008.
    Reply

    • Haha, YES! I did go to St. Rose. I graduated from my undergrad in 2005 and my Masters program in August 2007.

  54. That is so funny! I normally don't stumble upon anyone who is even from NY! I must have seen you on campus, at a party or the Abbott Tavern?! What a small world!! I love your blog! How can I follow it on blogger?
