Good Morning!! This was a view from my walk yesterday! I just love seeing rainbows!
I’m getting prepared for a weekend with a bunch of middle schoolers! I’m chaperoning camp this weekend and I’m slightly nervous. I haven’t worked with middle-school students in YEARS! Last night we had our leaders meeting and although I’m unsure what to expect, I have a feeling it’s going to be FUN! I won’t be blogging over the weekend because I’ll be off with some kiddo’s.
My WORKOUT this morning was awesome. I used a circuit workout from Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers and it did the trick. I was running behind getting to the gym, so I didn’t complete the whole circuit, but I did a set of 10 and a set of 9. I also did a 5 min. warmup and cooldown plus some stretching. I was still a little sore from my HIIT workout on Tuesday. Overall, I felt like I got a great workout in with this and look forward to doing it again with more time!

If y’all don’t follow Julie, you should!! She’s by far my favorite blogger. I check her blog 2-3 times a day for new posts and she’s definitely been a blogger role-model to me lately.
For BREAKFAST I enjoyed another egg, veggie bacon, & english muffin sandwich. It was so good yesterday that I wanted another on. I thought I’d share the actual “recipe” (which, it’s probably improper to call it that because it’s so easy peasy!)
Egg & Bacon English Muffin
- 1 whole wheat english muffin (toasted)
- 1 boiled egg (sliced)
- 2 slices of Mornging Star Vegetarian Bacon (Microwaved for 1:30)
Just layer the sandwich up. I’m going to start boiling eggs for the week because it’s been an easy fix for me. I had this egg in the fridge, ready to go, which is perfect when I’m running behind like I was this morning. I had enough time to prepare this (literally a minute and 30 seconds) and then eat it before heading out the door today! You could also add some sauteed veggies, cheese, or jelly to bring it up a notch!
