Hey guys! Hope everything is good and well with you.
Breakfast has been pretty repetitive these last few weeks, my morning meal tends to gravitate towards either greek yogurt with cottage cheese, fruit, and granola or whole wheat english muffins with delicious toppings :). Boring, but hey, it gets the job done!
After digesting for a little and cleaning up a bit around the house, I mosey-d on over to TJ Maxx before hitting up the gym. They have such a fabulous selection of workout clothes that I can’t help but be drawn to the store… at least that’s what I tell myself. I found this super cute dry-fit tank top to add to my collection of 47382947892374 other different tops. BUT YOU GUYS. IT WAS ONLY $16. It would have been a crime not to get it.
I promise this was after my workout. I actually do more than just take selfies in cute activewear ;). I had the hardest time getting this picture because I didn’t want to look like some self-absorbed freak in the locker room and had to do it on the sly. The things I do for you guys! (just kiddin’) Thumbs up for neon colors!
My workout for the day consisted of 30 minutes on the elliptical following this workout. I tacked on another 10 minutes at level 10 to round it out to 30 minutes.
Does anyone else have a problem with their feet getting numb from being on the elliptical? It’s been happening to me for the last half year or so and I’m not exactly sure what I’m doing differently.
After my elliptical-ing, I hit up the weights to train my lower body. I did a mess of deadlifts, squats, lunges, etc. I actually really do enjoy training my booty and legs. It’s a challenge, but I always leave with the worked-out feeling that has me feeling pretty darn accomplished.
I finished my time at the gym with 15 minutes of incline walking and headed home for lunch! Today featured a simple tuna sammich and some crackers and fresh fruit.
The rest of the day passed by in somewhat of a blur and my night was spent finishing up Pearl Harbor with Kyle and eating frosted flakes and cookie dough ice cream. Can I get an amen for the beautiful sight that greeted my eyes when I opened the contained? Is this real life?
What’s your go-to breakfast?
Anyone else have an obsession with workout clothes?
xoxo Christine

What a bargain! I will not judge you for buying another workout top when it’s that cute and that cheap!
Also, my feet totally get numb on the elliptical! I can only take it for 20 minutes or so before I have to move on…way too creepy feeling!
Christine says
Haha thanks girl! I’m glad to have you on my side ;). It’s so weird, right?
Kaitlin says
So cute! I swear I could buy every pair of Nike shorts I have the rainbow in my closet. That sounds like a good day to me! Oh and I do get numb feet – maybe if you are jamming your feet in too much? Not sure
Christine says
Me too! It kills me, especially when I got into a lululemon store.
pickyrunner says
I hate shopping unless its for workout clothes. I went to TJ’s yesterday too even though I can’t close my drawers. I’m so with you! Also- cookie dough ice cream? YUM.
Christine says
TJ’s for the win!
Charlotte @ Commitness to Fitness says
Is there anything more beautiful than opening the lid and seeing all those cookie dough chunks?? i propose that there is not. that picture just won the internet also i was lol’ing at those leg day pictures!
Charlotte @ Commitness to Fitness says
and ah i also meant to say– i LOVE that top!!
Christine says
I don’t think so! Sunsets/newborn babies/priceless artwork- WHO CARES WHEN COOKIE DOUGH ICE CREAM EXISTS!
sugarcoatedsheridan says
Mine go numb too…I was thinking maybe it was just my shoes!
Christine says
It’s so strange! A lot of people seem to have the same problem as well… Hmm
eatgreatbegreat says
LOVE workout clothes! If I could buy and wear them all the time I would! 😉 Love the new top! Mmmm…cookie dough ice cream!!!
Christine says
I basically do ;). I’m always a hot and sweaty mess- poor Kyle! Thanks girl!
jessiebearwhat says

jessiebearwhat says

Cookie dough ice cream is my favorite…. I’ve literally scrolled back up to that picture twice now 😉 When Edy’s (I think it was?) made their loaded cookie dough ice cream I was in heaven. And discovering the cookie dough blizzard at DQ… Heaven TIMES 2.
Christine says
WHAT. Cookie dough blizzard?! You have GOT to be kidding me. You’re the devil and a saint for telling me about them!
Eating 4 Balance says
You’ve never heard of a cookie dough blizzard??!! Maybe they don’t sell them anymore… I haven’t had one in a few years because of my food allergies but I thought they still did. If they do still sell them you need to try one soon. They are so amazing!
Beth @ Mangoes and Miles says
Currently obsessing over your top. I love bright colored anything, especially when it comes to work out clothes! And my feet get numb on the elliptical too…I have no idea what causes it, but it’s existed as far back as I can remember. I just do it anyways…if you find out what’s wrong, I’d love to know! (Especially if it’s, you know, something bad. :P)
Christine says
Same! The brighter the better. I jockingly (not really) say that obnoxious is my favorite color.
Hopefully our feet don’t fall off! I’ll let you know if I look into it
Christine says
Just realized I spelled jokingly wrong. PLEASE DON’T JUDGE ME
mvwinter27 says
Super cute top- you look adorable!
I tend to eat the same breakfasts too. My go-to is a giant yogurt bowl with fresh fruit and granola- delish!
Christine says
Thanks so much! I really love the bright neon colors.
I love that combination! It’s light, yet fuels me for my workout
Kara says
I need that top!!!! In love super adorbs and obsessed with neon as well
Christine says
Isn’t it SO cute? Try checking out your local TJ Maxx, they have a great selection right now :). Thanks for the comment! I always get so excited when a non-blogger tells me their thoughts
Kelly Runs for Food says
TJ Maxx is my favorite for workout clothes! Also drooling over your ice cream. I have a really bad habit of picking out the good stuff from ice cream (and salads, too, actually). My husband hates it when he discovers all that’s left is plain ice cream
