If you only do one thing today – make it watching this video. Halftime of the Miami game was minutes away, Miami had the ball…and I had the video camera on Ben – muwahahahaha!
TOUCHDOWN!! Oh my gosh…what a crazy man! He had no idea I was taping him and after I showed it to him he was slightly horrified with himself! AhhhHAHAHA! Look, he even covered up one of our hanging pictures with his Miami flag. Ohhh, I just want to hug him 
I won’t bore you with the details, but in case you were wondering, unranked Miami pulled off an unbelievable victory against #18 Florida State, that came down to an incomplete pass for a touchdown in the last 5 seconds of the game. Incredible! Ben said he almost threw up he was so nervous…yikes. Do you love anything that much?
When the game ended, I headed upstairs to pre-make today’s breakfast – a Breakfast Cookie! I combined:
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 mashed up banana
- 1 Tablespoon almond butter (:D)
- 1/8 cup skim milk
- sprinkle of sliced almonds
- dash of cinnamon
I formed the mixture into a cookie shape, covered with saran wrap and popped it in the fridge to congeal overnight.
I also cutup a fresh peach last night, so all I had to do this morning was put it on top and dig in!
Ooooo – I am loving the addition of the sliced almonds in here! I bet some toasted coconut would be divine as well…
I cannot tell you how fabulous it is to have breakfast completely done and waiting for you in the morning. Especially when it tastes this delicious. I love B-fast Cookies!
For lunch today, I packed a Veggie Lovers Salad. :*
In the mix:
- Spinach
- Mixed Greens
- Baby Carrots
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Corn Sheets (less scary sheets than last week, thanks goodness!)
I also packed some picture-perfect watermelon. Seriously – these are so gorgeous they don’t even look real!
I’m eating as much watermelon as I can before the season ends. 
So last night I was cruising around one of my favorite fitness websites – FitnessMagazine.com – and stumbled upon a whole page of themed workout playlists. I don’t usually listen to an iPod when I’m running, but some of these looked so awesome, I seriously might reconsider. Especially since the warmer weather will be coming to a close here in the next couple of months, which means I’ll be taking my running indoors…to the treadmill…and you know what that means…boredom! Anything to take my mind off of running on the treadmill, when I’m running on the treadmill, is really helpful!
I especially like this playlist – the “Summer” playlist. These songs are great – especially “Good Girls Go Bad” by Cobra Starship – Leighton Meester is the guest singer!!
"Sex on Fire" – Kings of Leon
"Right Round" – Flo Rida
"I Do Not Hook Up" – Kelly Clarkson
"Don’t Trust Me" – 3OH!3
"Fire Burning" – Sean Kingston
"Love Drunk" – Boys Like Girls
"Good Girls Go Bad" – Cobra Starship
"Poker Face" – Lady Gaga
"Summertime" – NKOTB
"Soak Up the Sun" – Sheryl Crow
Have a great day back, friends!

What song pumps you up when you’re working out?
I LOVE “The New Workout Plan” by Kanye…it is hysterical and it seriously amps me up! Oh, and anything by Britney, of course.
I’m positive you would have more embarrassing footage of me watching a UT game. Too funny!
My friend went to that game last night! Luckily the closest I got to football this weekend was only picking up and dropping my bf off at the UF game.
Song that pumps me up = “Shake” by the Yin Yang Twins.
I’m a dance/techno girl when it comes to exercise music… it really pumps me up and energizes me! Beautiful breakfast cookie pics! I agree w/ the awesome-ness of bfast being ready for you in the morning, it’s the little things that just make life easier
the new workout plan by kanye is MY TOTAL GO-TO. it pumps me up like nothing else. also, pump it by the black eyed peas gets me in a good running groove.
gorge breakfast cookie…have a good day!
oh lordie! that food all looks so fresh and yummy!
its official .. i have GOT to try one of these bfast cookies, i am seeing them EVERYWHERE
that video is so funny, but I’m JUST as bad!
I seriously get butterflies during our games and I CANNOT physically sit down during our games. I’m either on the edge of the seat, crouched on the floor right in front of the TV, or standing like he was. I just can’t take it!
Hi,
I just have to say, I absolutely love reading your blog. I keep up with it daily. Your recipes are great! I’m trying my best to live a healthier lifestyle and i’m always trying to think up new recipes! Though, with three toddlers.. 1,2 and 3 , it’s a little hard to make super healthy things. My oldest joey, refuses veggies..lol. On the other hand, my daughter absolutely LOVES raw veggies, so that’s a plus. She definately takes after me! Just wanted to drop in to say thanks for keeping this SAHM entertained! =-)
p.s. You have me addicted to PURE bars!
LOL That video is hilarious! Reminds me of me watching Red Sox or Patriots games. Not so funny when you are on the Treadmill at the gym watching and you do the fist pumps in the air at the touch down
I have to have music to run. I do a lot of running on the TM because my area is not the safest to run in and it’s not convenient to go to the safe running trails. And the weather stinks most of the year. I love making mixes but I usually end up hitting it on shuffle.
We watched the end of that game last night, your husband must have been pretty excited! Your breakfast cookie also looks really good, I think I need to try one soon. I’m off to the gym and plan on listening to Lady Gaga and The Killers to get pumped up today!
Love me some breakie cookies too!
The corn on your salad is calling my name. I saw a recipe in Cooking Light this weekend for roasted corn and potato soup that I must try! The watermelon is making my mouth water too!
Rhianna and Beyonce really get my legs movin’ at the gym
hahaha what an awesome video
thanks for your workout play list!!
currently * boom boom pow* is on the top of my list! haha
all your food pictures look AWESOME
Hahahaha that video is hilarious! I love it when people get so into watching sports (especially on tv.) Too funny
Your breakfast cookie is so pretty, too!
just found your blog- i lovee it! my dad’s family is from corning, ia (i wouldn’t be suprised if youve never heard of it, it’s the size of a postage stamp ha!) just started my own blog, so check it out
can’t wait to read more of yours!
ps- i LOVE kayne’s workout song! it always gets me going!
How funny! He looks like quite similar to my bf while watching football….ha! Your breakfast cookie looks quite delish, you have a lovely blog & I’m looking forward to reading more!
that playlist is cracking me up! i just downloaded a new one for myself and over half those songs are on it
plus LMFAO…Yes is just amazing, and you have to throw in i’m in miami b*tch (i like the LA version for myself LOL) and LaLaLa for good measure!!!
I love that video.. I didn’t know what to expect for the first 10 seconds.. heheh
I’m going to start checking out that fitness magazine web site! Looks like a great place for motivation- Why aren’t trader joes EVERYWHERE? i’ve never been and have no hope of getting to one anytime soon!
Yes, this was a good game. The boyfriend was watching and enjoying it quite a bit last night. I let him enjoy and did yoga for the last bit.
My hubby is exactly the same way about sports – Missouri Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals in our house, though! He yells at the TV like they can actually hear him LOL.
One of my favorite running songs is actually off a Disney movie soundtrack – “Real Gone” by Sheryl Crow from the movie Cars. Kanye, Black Eyed Peas, Katy Perry, and K.T. Tunstall really get me moving, too!
HAHAHAH LMAO!!!! I just showed this to my hubby to assure him that I am not the only one with the crazy man to deal with when watching sports. Oh my, I thought baseball was bad, but football is 1000x more intense!
Oh our boys and their passion for sports. Now if only they could invert this same passion into other areas of their lives….like cleaning up after themselves maybe?
Lately “My Life Would SUch eithout You” has really been pumping me up! Love your list.
[...] corrected me and said ”We’ll actually be missing two weekends of Hawkeye football, Miami football AND a Vikings [...]
