Hi! I woke up thinking today was Thursday. So, there’s that.
But, I’m glad it’s not Thursday since I have a few deadlines I’m racing! This morning started with a nice little cardio session here…
God bless it.
What I ate…
I have been packing a protein bar to eat on the way home from the morning class and had half of it on the drive.
Breakfast of champions: Puffins. These Puffins are not as good as PB Puffins, but that’s what I get for trying to be all healthy and ish.
Lunch was a mixing bowl salad since my one decent salad bowl died earlier this week.
Taking a look at this picture I realize I really do need to replace that bowl and stop embarrassing myself on the internet. Or, I guess work on embarrassing myself less since that kinda comes with the RER territory…
Snacks for the day included yogurt, more Puffins (obviously) and a massive baking fail.
A long time ago a reader commented that they picture me like the chef from The Muppets in the kitchen. That is seriously the most accurate comparison I’ve ever heard.

I just fumble around singing to myself, making a mess and hope everything will turn out okay when I bake. 50% of the time it does and I can share the recipe. 52% of the time it doesn’t and I have an epic fail.
For some reason (read: because they were on sale) I bought Prunes. I don’t know. Anyway. I’ve had them for a while figuring I’d bake with them or make some kinda raw granola bar.
Long story short I tried to make brownies and failed.
Luckily, when I fail I go BIG. and this was the result.
Luckily, I can’t mess up dinner – it’s my go to 4 ingredient pasta.
What I did…
Outside of that the day was pretty productive! We are thisclose to updating RER! I had some conference calls and an interview with the legendary Hal Hidgon!
What I wore…
I’m sportin’ some gear Solow Style sent me. They also sent a cute ‘from gym to street’ dress that I love. I tried it on this weekend and it’s super comfy too – no picture yet though.
Question: On a scale from 1 to 10 – 1 being you stayed in bed and did nothing, 10 being you finished today’s work and tomorrows…
How productive was your day?
haha! your brownie pic cracked me up! I just love how real you are 🙂
Ha! Thanks 🙂
I realize this is not your most recent post, so you may never see this comment….however…in the event that you do…I read you regularly, but rarely comment. This post cracked me up…I so appreciate your self-deprecating sense of humor and just keeping it realzzz. I think if we were neighbors, we’d hang out and make fun of ourselves.
Probably a 5. Oh wells.
So the prune brownies don’t look good, but how did they taste? I’ve definitely had some recipe fails when I try to make them healthy, but they still taste okay in the end.
Vurt da Furk! Bahahahaha, You always make me churttle churttle. So, the prune dish didn’t look appealing… meh. Did it at lease taste ok? Oh, and this blog’s timing is uncanny. I called in “sick” yesterday and went for a run to work on my 180 min/mile cadence! And went to look for new shoes! I’m sure with your celebrity status, someone I work with will see this =).
Definitely in the 8-ish range. The best thing I did for myself was run 4 miles when I abso-furk-ing-lutely didn’t want to even start. It was hot (still at 6:45pm), I was soooooo tired. I hadn’t even started dinner for my fam; I just felt like a mess! But I had it in my mind that it had to get done; I had hoped for 5 miles, but it was getting dark and the fact that dinner hadn’t been even conceived in my mind, I stuck with 4. I hated every step, but when I got back, I was SO SO SO glad I didn’t blow it off. So that took my “meh” productive day to somewhere north of 8! 🙂
I love The Muppets so I am loving the GIF and the photo too!
I don’t know what the heck I was thinking not reading your blog sooner! I’m a new comer within the last month even though I’ve obviously see you around the webs for a long time. You crack my ish up!
I totally laughed at your Muppets pictures 🙂
& am now speaking Swedish in my brain.
I love the pullover and I can’t help myself…every time I see a pullover I think this… No, it’s a cardigan, but thanks for noticing! ~Dumb and Dumber
Yesterday was an 8 for me. Work, run, tan, porch time, and volleyball…followed by drinks with friends. Full day!
My day was a 4… semi-productive… could have been better, could have been worse….
Check out Drunk Kitchen on youtube. THAT is how I picture you!
Those look AWFUL. So much so that I laughed out loud! My Wednesday was an 8 on the productive scale. Got a ton done at work (but still had more to do on Thursday), went for a bike ride (but didn’t work as hard as I have on other rides), ate well (and a lot), and slept through my morning swim time (oops!). Hitting up the pool tomorrow to make up for it…
Ugh I love PB puffins so much! Cinnamon is pretty good too, in case you haven’t tried 😉
That puts the “ow” in “brownies”…
OMG that chef meme I died lol
Super productive, I had an interview, looked at apartments and worked a 12 hour shift!
My day was an 8! Your video inserts always crack me up!
I am laughing so hard at those brownies…that looks so disgusting. Lol
like an 8, a pretty productive day. lol, the muppet chef comparison cracks me up. I like to think I’m a pretty good baker but I’ve had some tremendous baking fails myself, as a reference I once made avocado, sweet potato, almond brownies…………….
Totally sounds like something I’d try to make 🙂 Hopefully you mastered the recipe!
haha, not quite. Instead I’ve learned the importance of only using one or two healthy ingredients swaps at a time while baking.
8. Haha those gifs for the baking fail are too perfect.
So far so good…I’d say around 8. Fail was bailing out on a run this morning coz my hip flexor was sore. 🙁
I was mega-productive at work today, and I had a great run this morning! However I also manged to talk myself out of going to target and picking up some much needed furniture and kitchen supplies like a grown-up, so I ate dinner out of a pot with chopsticks while sitting on the floor in my new house…for the seventh consecutive night.
I guess if I take the average of 10 for work, 10 for training, and 1 for life choices I get a 7? That’s a passing grade, I’ll take it.
1 for life choices… sounds like me most weeks 🙂 Busted!
Magnificent beat ! I would like to apprentice at the same time as
you amend your web site, how can i subscribe for a
weblog website? The account helped me a applicable deal. I were
tiny bit acquainted of this your broadcast provided vibrant clear
idea
I was hoping for a 9 of a productive today…I’ll give it a 6. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day right?!
A 9.5!
Nice rockstar!!
I’d say it was pretty productive. Woke up at 5:45am did some blogging, went to work until 6pm, and now I’m on my way to the pool. So a success! I love prunes and snack on them all the time.
That is productive! Awesome!
My day was a solid 8. I got a lot done.
I am a 7 – I need to be at a 10 over the next few days though….
I give my day a 7. I did yard work for an hour and got a sun burn. Time to start putting on the sunblock!
My day was probably a 3. I did manage to go for 2 walks and hit up hot yoga, but I accomplished nothing at work and am now 2 days behind schedule… oh well, there’s always tomorrow, right?
Have an awesome day tomorrow Patti!!
It was a 5 today. I managed to get out of bed AND change out of my pajamas. That almost never happens before Thursday so I’m way ahead!
2…and I feel kinda sh*tty about it 🙁
I just laughed out loud so hard at the Vurt da Furk Chef stuff! OMG! So funny…. So PUFFIN FUNNY!!!!
Very productive day! Like an 8.
Cute hoodie!
My day was a 7 😀
