A “Me Day”

Good Morning Bloggies

Saturday Morning “ahhhhh” stretch, yawn, and stay put in that bed for a little while! Isn’t that the best? When you know you don’t have to jump right out of bed? Usually for me though, I have to. Phoebe jumps on my chest which is my clue meaning “mama I have to go potty”.

I started my day off yesterday with coffee and a new overnight oats recipe! Check out these Cake Batter Overnight Oats

These oats have around 260 calories and 22 grams of protein! Wow

Super yum and super filling! The top is a “frosting” made out of greek yogurt. And of course no cake is complete without sprinkles!

After breakfast I headed to a new hair salon to get my hair cut. The hair stylist who did it, Tiffany, goes to my gym and follows my blog. This was the first time I officially met her in person and she is adorable! She’s like a tattooed Barbie! Beautiful woman. And she did a beautiful job on my hair I love being able to connect with people through my blog. I’ve met so many amazing people this way.

I think Phoebe likes it too!

After pulling myself away from my computer…

Phoebe and I headed to see G-Mama. Bella also came over and she brought Phoebe a new toy and me these pretty seashells from the beach!

After a nap on the couch (MUCH NEEDED), I went to the gym for shoulder day. This was really starting to turn into a “me day”. Felt good!

I started with 20 minutes on the spin bike and then off to lift I went:

• upright rows, 20 lb kettles each hand, 12 reps x 4 sets
• Front plate raise, 25 lbs, 12 reps x 4 sets
• Lateral straight arm raise, 8 lb kettles, 20 reps x 2 sets, then 10 lb kettles, 10 reps x 2 sets
• Shoulder shrugs, 40 lb dumbbells, 10-12 reps x 4 sets
• Car drivers, 10 lb plate 12 reps x 3 sets, then 25 lb plate 10 reps x 2 sets
• Shoulder circles, 8 lb kettles, 10 reps x 3 sets each direction
• Reverse shoulder press (almost like a lat pulldown), 50-60 lbs, 10 reps x 4 sets
• Diagonal shoulder raise (see pic below), 20 lbs 12 reps x 4 sets each side

I finished with 20 minutes on the elliptical/stair stepper combo machine. Wasn’t feeling the stair master for once! It’s good to switch things up anyway.

I picked up my girl and we drove back home. The weather has been really yucky these past few days. It rained all day

When I came home I was starving, so I made a quick chicken pizza wrap. Basically I just threw together pieces of chicken, pizza sauce, goat cheese, and a small babybel cheese in a wrap and devoured it.

Mommy spent the remainder of the night sucked into the big brother abyss, working on meal plans, and cleaning the kitchen up. I mentioned on here that Miss Buffay has been acting up since I’ve been so busy. I guess she isn’t getting the attention she wants, and she really showed me last night.

Really Phoebs?

GUILTY

Wasn’t me

I don’t yell at her, that doesn’t do any good. I just picked it up, said no, and we went on with our lives. I did give her some play time later and snuggles

Phoebe has never done that with the toilet paper before. Not around me anyway. My mom later told me she did it twice at her house while I was gone…. Oh Phoebs.

Today I have more errands to do and some cleaning around the apartment. I think I will stay put for most of the day besides a gym session. I just love being home. I can’t help it! Call me a hermit, I don’t mind. I’d rather stay in and enjoy doing something that I like, than be forced to go out and feel socially awkward. Maybe it’s the introvert in me?

Have an awesome Saturday! And make those yummy oats

XOXO With a Cherry On Top,
