“Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands, they just don’t.”
Elle Woods knows what she’s talkin’ about!
I woke up this morning feeling sleepy and blah. On my way to the gym I thought “I really don’t feel like working out today” a couple of times.
I repeated my motivating exercise mantra “I’ve never regretted a work out,” and headed off to BodyPump. Before I knew it, I was in the groove and feeling happier. Gotta love those endorphins!
After BodyPump, I did 25 minutes of light cardio while reading the latest issue of Oxygen magazine.
Breakfast
Today’s breakfast gets two thumbs up!
After last night’s eggplant lasagna, we have a big ol’ tub of ricotta cheese that we need to plow through before it goes bad.
When I popped open the lid on the ricotta cheese container, Sadie went into instant begging mode.
Cheese, Please
After giving her a couple spoonfuls, I scooped out about a quarter of a cup of ricotta cheese before adding a bit of Splenda and cinnamon to make it s a lil’ sweeter.
I spread the mixture on top of two toasted waffles before topping them with syrup.
Cinnamon Ricotta Waffles
Loved this breakfast!!
Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday. 😀

I always remind myself how great I am going to feel AFTER the workout when I am finding it hard to get motivated…and I am always right!! 🙂 Glad you got a good one in and I loved the Legally Blonde clip…love that movie!! 🙂
LOVE Legally Blonde, LOVE Body Pump, LOVE Oxygen Magazine!
That’s a great workout mantra…I need to keep it in mind!
nice mantra! i love legally blonde.. reese is adorable in it.
ricotta cheese is so tasty! nice idea to pair it with syrup and cinnamon, perfection (as chandler would say haha)!
Elle´s SO right!
😉
And I simply LOVE ricotta cheese… I´m sure it was DELICIOUS on the top of your waffles… YUM!
😀
I love all your post I really do! Do you know why I secretly come here and no it’s not to lick the PB spoon to the right…Sadie makes me smile everytime!!
thanks so much, april! 🙂 sadie loves you right back.
Loving the waffle posts…never realised how much you could do with a waffle!
Love the workout mantra…always use this on myself as well as my clients.
have a great Wednesday to Julie:)
i dont think its healthy to give your dog human food. We also have a vizsla but we make sure she sticks with her own food and dog treats and the odd tbsp of PB smeared in her toys.
I always think of that Legally Blonde quote whenever people talk about exercise endorphins!
O man Daisy has never met a cheese she didn’t like…I’m sure ricotta would be no different!
I love that quote from Legally Blonde…it is soo true! Sometimes it’s hard for me to motivate myself to work out, but once I do, I feel 100 times happier! Gotta love those endorphins! 🙂
Your waffle breakfast is so creative and nutritious! Does it keep you as satisfied as oatmeal?
surprisingly it was pretty filling! i think the ricotta cheese may have helped a bit. i still think my combo of oats w/ a scoop of protein powder is the most filling breakfast for me.
Wow those waffles look SO GOOD! I gotta get me some Eggos SOON! 😀
