true story: when you said your boss wanted to have a “pow-wow” I immediately thought of those bars you were eating the other day. I have such a one-track foodie mind.
my dog does the same thing when i fold laundry!
I am so doing this workout next week!! I love your upper body workouts, Janetha! The last one of yours that I tried has become my “go to upper body workout”! Thanks!
oh stop you’re making me blush ;)
we’re such workout stealers on eachother haha because you’re my go-to lower body girl
A few things: 1) I’ve somehow managed not to try maple syrup on oats.. this will be remedies asap, 2) interval/superset workout! 3) I totally also have to take my vitamins out of a day-by-day container :) Have a wonderful weekend!
Funny post!!
Why is it that…when I try to make stovetop oats they def don’t turn out as scrumptious looking as the ones I see on other blogs. :-(
I hate when people bug me when I’m trying to eat…grrr…
Janetha wonders this too, “Why is that every single photo I post of myself – no matter the time of day – I look like a freakin’ supermodel with amazing celebrity worthy hair?”
Why oh why?! I do not. Which is why there are so few photos of myself on my blog…
I TOTALLY loveeeeed this post! Loved the way you brought it full-circle- that is RAD RAD RAD- some great writin’!!
PB & Apple tastes like a carmel apple. I wrote a whole post on naughty pets hairing all over laundry. It’s an epidemic.
Why do oats not fill me up worth a damn? Why do I feel like it’s only 4pm but it’s 7pm? Why am I addicted to this laptop- twitter, email, facebook, blogs, blogging? Love you!!!!!1
