First, off I want to say a huge congrats to my little sister Brookie for getting 2nd place on vault at her gymnastics meet this weekend π 9.45 – her best score yet! I’m so proud of her π
Second, I’m glad you all enjoyed the le tour de France my house. Or at least pretended to like it. I’m kind of on the Vlog bandwagon now…or at least trying to make up for my lack of pictures and phone photo shots.
Last night I got a bit hungry while in bed, but was too lazy to head downstairs. Then I remembered I had the sample pack that One Lucky Duck sent me sitting on my desk!
Hmm…I’ve obvoiusly been enjoying these snacks unpictured on the blog
I’ve tried the Gingerbread cookies, and they were amazing. I loved the distinct taste of cashew in them. The Cheese-y Crackers crackers were also pretty tasty, although they had a strange aftertaste. But I loved the sharp taste! Last night I tried the Chocolate chips cookies and blech, was not a fan at all! Something was off and I couldn’t even eat one!
But the granola bar was quite tasty! I enjoyed the whole thing π I loved the sweet, sweet sticky texture from the honey. Yumm!
This morning I woke up to prepare some pumpkin pancakes!
Rather than using a recipe, I just used the boxed Quaker oatmeal pancake mix, and added pumpkin, cinnamon, & pumpkin pie spice. They were delicious, but not as good as my made from scratch WW oatmeal pancakes π
Topped with pumpkin cream cheese, sunbutter, & maple syrup.
Fueld my gym sesh quite nicely π
- 2 mile run 6 mph
- .25 mile walk
- 1.5 mile run 6-8 mph intervals
- 4 minute walk 10% incline
Total: 3.5 miles running, 4.5 miles total
I seriously hadn’t done intervals in years. When I was into running long distances, I would just run miles and miles at the same speed – no intervals involved. Back in the day (about 3 years ago) when I was just running on the treadmill for fitness, I ran intervals. And man did it feel good to go fast after going at a constant 6 mph TM pace these past few months!
Post-gym, I stopped by the froyo store to check if they had pumpkin flavor – and left a happy happy gal π
~ 1 serving pumpkin + cake batter froyo with some chocolate syrup (I saved the rest of the froyo in the freezer for future consumption)
Sandwich thin with PB & J
A delicious fuji.
And a pumpkin smoothie “don’t jude me, okay?” smoothie.
(recycled picture)
Boring afternoon of errands, studying, and party shopping procrastinating stuff.
And then dinner was thrown in the oven. Kashi black bean mexicali pizza topped with the last of my turkey pepps and some spinach.
I only had 1/4 of this because I filled up on about 5 servings of broccoli. Oh well, more for later!
I did get hungry later on (obviously, after only 2 puny thin crust pizza slices) so helped myself to a treat I picked up earlier.
Pumpkin chocolate chip cookie!
Warmed up in the microwave…..mmmmmm boy.
I also snagged this day old muffin (I think it was spelt bran pecan and berry?). Sorry the picture’s still in the wrapper – I don’t want to unwrap it until I actually plan to eat it.
I may or may not have another Vlog surprise tomorrow to make up for my last day of non-real camera pics. Stay tuned!!
Oh my that is a huge cookie and I love it! The pumpkin pancakes & pizza look supaa good to I might add!
You seriously love the pumpking don’t you π
congrats to your sis and way to work those intervals! totally deserving of that pumpkin fro-yo π
Hahaha there is nothing wrong with loving anything pumpkin-flavored. I do not blame you at all! So what if you had pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin shake, pumpkin froyo and a pumpkin cookie. I’d do the exact same thing if I could! Love it π
Yay tell your sister congrats!! A 9.45 is an awesome score! And I’m loving all your pumpkin.. keep it coming!

HUGE congrats to your sister on vault! When I was in gymnastics, that was always the only event I had trouble with. I think it just freaked me out to have to run straight at that vaulting horse! So I know how proud she should be for accomplishing that. π
That pumpkin froyo sounds SO good! Perfect way to celebrate the season.
xxoo
Heather
Where do you find fro yo at?? I’m so jealous!!
I clearly cannot judge you for your pumpkin-ness after the absurd amounts of apples I’ve been eating! We’re just ladies who know what we like π
I only do intervals on the treadmill. Only way I can keep myself entertained on that thing.
Wow you were kidding when you said you OD’d on pumpkin, too! Glad I’m not the only one;)
Congrats to your sister!
