guys. you are too sweet. actually you’re almost as sweet as my workout this morning. but we’ll get back to that.
thank you so much for all of your bloggie birthday wishes. julie golean would fo sho not be able to exist without you wondies. (if you haven’t caught on already i like to create my own words)
julie’s dictionary. “wondies” = wonderful bloggies.
enough sap.
after heading back and forth to my new internship/job place yesterday i came home to reorganize my closet and realize that the last time i got my professional dress on was about a year ago when i was 2 sizes bigger. no complaints there but i needed new dress pants!
so i gathered my thoughts, filled my tummy and did the next thing anyone would do..
i immediately called my stylist aka deej & jen to accompany me to where else? target for wallet friendly dress pants and work attire. i’m pretty sure nike shorts and a sports bra wouldn’t even qualify for casual fridays.
only to be reminded of why in the world its so hard for me to find pants. tall pants people. tall pants. so target ended up being a bust other then restocking my gum stash and picking up a new container of hidden valley ranch seasoning.
priorities people.
next on my list of priorities? food duh
so as soon as we got home, deej and i got to work. she ransackled the house in search of our missing chopper, while i got my special salad making skillz on.
what we came up with was gloriously delicious and oh-so easy. besides the search of the missing chopper. $5 to anyone who finds it..
a wonkin sized salad with sauteed tilapia fillet, laughing cow, tjs mustard, 1tbsp garlic hummus, a little apple cider vinegar for spreadage & a side of butternut squash soup
a night without greens is no night at all.
i concluded the night early and no clue who went home on the biggest loser because this season is just honestly bothering me.
when i woke up this morning i knew that i had to get something in my system before spin. the two slices of bread and better n peanut butter didn’t work out so hot last time so i dabbled with something different this morning.
how i felt eating something at 5:20am..don’t you dare judge. ;)
and then i spun into the sunset.
surprise! the gym got new spin bikes! woop woop. they were fabo. and this pre workout snack fab-O.
chest&tris
- stability ball pushups 4 sets 12 (bodyweight) superseded with bodybar skullcrusher 4 sets 12 (15lb bodybar
- decline chest flys 4 sets 12 (10lb free weights) superseded with decline chest press 4 sets 12 (15lb free weights)
- tricep pushbacks 4 sets 12 (30lb barbell)
- high chest press machine 4 sets 12 (20lbs, 30lbs, 30lbs, 20lbs) while holding my knees up to challenge my core
i felt like a beast when i was done. came home shaw shawered fast and hit the food processor hard for breakfast.
1cup pumpkin+1/2c cottage cheese, cinnamon, stevia, splashie of almond milk & vanilla extract all processed up. sliced 1/2 naner & 2tbsp of pb2 drizzleage.
successfully consumed my weight in canned pumpkin. what shortage…?
then i proceeded to dish out $87 bucks for a finger printing appointment. the only thing i have a criminal record for is not carrying a license for these guns
how i felt when i realized that getting my roots done is going to have to wait another month?
enough pictures of myself. too vain for words.
alright well i’ve got plenty on the agenda for today. finger printing, work, finishing organizing my room. i’m nervous to start my new job next week! it’s gonna require a large schedule change but i think it will be worth it in the end.
bring on the gym shower no?
any of you ever dress & shower at the gym for work? i’ve got a 45+minute commute 3 days a week to work coming up so any good tips you could share would be muchos appreciated!
keep those q&a questions coming! i’ll give you the long awaited answers in no time flat!
p.s. get some gloves!

You are too cute!
yay for new clothes! my problem is they never have SHORT pants. Im vertically challeneged. tee hee
yummy eats
Ok, so heres the deal. Pants don't fit me because they're too long. I say, we cut off the extra from my pants and affix it to yours...hahaha. I need new work pants too. From teaching and running a lot over the last year, I've lost a chunk of weight too. Or we could say forget it, and you and I can make extra large/butt crack showing work pants a new trend? I would buy a little portable shower container for your gym showers and don't forget the flip flops!
I have the worst problems with pants too!Sometimes even the longs are too short, which really gets my blood boilin' (just kidding, I don't get shopping rage....okay maybe sometimes). Luckily the Gap has come through for me on a few occasions
I cannot eat that early in the morning!
hahah awesome. new clothes are so fun!! Target is definently my go to place as well. Where else can you go to get work clothes, gum, cereal some bath towels and some peanut butter. Yes I love Target. =) Yey for new spin bikes. I gotta say that would make my day too. haha. I dress and shower at the gym in the morning. It takes me about 15 minutes total. Im fast. I dont have to do my hair or dress up for work so I can shower, put on some jeans and let my hair air dry. So its super fast. Anyways I hope you are having a great day girl!
That seems pricey for the fingerprinting. I had to do that too to work as a waitress in las Vegas. Pain, it is like you just want to work and already you are losing money before you can start to make it. Love the am pic of eating breakfast so early!
That pre-spin picture is AWESOME. That is exactly how I look at 5:15 before a workout.
Girl they are robbing you charging $87 for fingerprints!!! It costs $10 here at my local police department.
Oh and being tall and shopping for pants=pain in my ass. Literally. Try being 6' tall, then talk to me about it!
You're so funny. That picture of you eating that yogurt is CLASSIC. Good for you for forcing yourself to eat SOMETHING at 5:20 am.
I agree with Melinda above that that does sound pricey for fingerprinting, I think we got our for FREE in my internship. Of course, I got paid jack crap for the internship...
Thanks for your kind comment on my blog Julie. You are a true WONDIE!
Your salad creations always look crazy delicious!! Wanna make me one?
I *hate* buying pants! My ass is big compared to my waist so they always gape!
And no judging over here at your 5:20am photo! I'm still drooling at that time...LOL!
I find work pants at the most random times, never when I *want* to find them. BR, GAP, Ann Taylor loft. Anywhere, any sales rack, just keep trying.
So for the commute.... I suggest downloading some podcasts (assuming you have an ipod). Adam Carolla has one and he is seriously hilarious.
Haha love the yogurt pic. That's what I looked like at 6 this morning. I forced down espresso which is probably much easier than yogurt! I shower at the gym sometimes but kind of hate it since the towels only fit half my body. Make sure you don't forget those flip flops!
I was at target yesterday stocking up on on-sale $15 sports bras that actually fit me. Priorities :)
Pants. The Express has a pant called the Editor pant. It's $59 when it's on sale. It comes in every size and length known to man and you can wear those bad boys foreverrrrrrr. When I was working real jobs, they were my go-to's b/c they look far better & classier than you'd expect. and in tall!
I felt the need to express how much this season of the biggest loser bothers me! I just can't get into it.
I love the blog. Happy 1 year blogiversary!
hahahahaha nice yog face shot. so funny. ummm do you have a good vet? i sure hope so.. because those puppies are siiiiick!
Haha i love the yogurt shot!!
Oh, and happy 1 year! Sorry I'm a little late.. and unfortunelty I just recently discovered your blog.. but SO glad I did!!
I can't eat that much in the morning either if I'm going for a workout bright and early.. but I do love your early morning yogurt shot!
girl at 415 when i get up for work, I dont even want to see what I look like, the fact taht i make it to work safe with no accidents is a blessing in itself! I would give yourself a pat on the back for downing that yog at 5:20! I certainly dont get my appetite till at least 615. however, if I was spinning at 6 then I would abso-freakin lutely down a yog or banana or sometrhing!
I think I can count the number of times on my hand I have gotten a pair of pants that DOESNT need alterations. BEing 5'2' i am a shorty and no pants ever fit me right! i always get them hemm'ed...darn pants ppl!!
I heart you!!!
YOU'RE A WONDIE! :) :) :)
dude TBL sooooqz this season - it's so damn competitive and manipulative. No me gusta! I think bob just needs his own reality dating show so I can go on it.
luff you muffin pie!
New spin bikes?! I'm super jeal. They must've rocked.
I have the same probalem with pants but the opposite. Us shorties get no love! No love! Even the "short" styles are too long.
Happy Birthday Julie Go Lean!!
Those guns do need a license to be on the street.
