A Morning of Favorites

January 9, 2009

Good morning, blog world! Happy FRIDAY!!! I can almost taste the weekend! I hope your Friday is off to a fantastic start! :mrgreen:

Workout

My morning run was one of my favorite treadmill workouts (for both walking and running): 45-Minute Treadmill Workout. This workout keeps you interested with its ever-changing speeds and inclines, and challenges you with intervals and uphill running. The walking is an excellent workout, too– great for your buns! ;-)

Run stats:

  • Distance: 5.11
  • Time: 45:05
  • Pace: 8:49 min/mile
  • Calories: 499

Breakfast

Breakfast was also full of favorites today: oats, granola, banana, Barney Butter, and Dunkin’ Donuts coffee.  

Yum!!! This was an awesome Friday morning breakfast! (I am especially loving the Zoe’s granola mixed into my oats. So good!!) 

Question of the Day

Have you ever had a nickname(s)?

I have a bunch! My sister calls me Peter, Mal calls me Llama (as in “Tina eat your dinner!”), my mom calls me Christine (even though my name is Christina), my father-in-law and my friend Anna call me Tiner, Erin sometimes calls me Teen Teen, and the people at Starbucks occassionally call me Trina. :mrgreen:

Nicknames… hmmm. My friend’s family (affectionately) calls me KT, standing for Kristie Trouble. My roommate calls me Xty (less effort to say than Kristie I guess?). High school calculus teacher called me Mootemeister… high school spanish classmates called me Mootinator, friend from youth group called me Mooter, my friend Danielle made a song about me (we got really bored in classes) where she named me K-Moote (“come on everybody do the K-Moote moo!”). So I have a lot of nicknames I guess. And I’ll answer to them all :)

Barney Butter and DD coffee + a good workout – sounds like an excellent morning! My parents have always called me Pumpki, and my husband always calls me “Heather Pie”…except when I’ve gone shopping and spent too much…then it’s just “HEATHER!!!” :)

Reply

Tina January 9, 2009 at 9:18 am

@jenna: Yes, I tried the peanut butter one, too. I agree, it was just okay— a little too dry for me. The granola, on the other hand, is AWESOME! Definitely give it a try! :)

Lovely breakfast…

My nicknames vary depending on who you are. My friends call me Mel, my mom calls me Sis, my grandma calls me Missy (and is the only one who can do it!) and my dad calls me Melvira on occasion ( I still haven’t figured that one out yet!)

Rose January 9, 2009 at 10:18 am

Good job on the morning workout!

Since Rose is my middle name, I guess I go by a nickname all the time? Bill also calls me Smooch or Booch, depending on his mood :)

Reply

Danielle January 9, 2009 at 10:32 am

I think Mal’s nickname for you is so cute!
My nicknames are super boring, just Dani, or Dan.
When I was little everyone called me Dani then around 11 I thought that sounded so babyish so I asked to be called Danielle, then in high school a lot of friends started calling me dani and that’s the name I go by most often (besides at work.)

Justy2003 January 9, 2009 at 10:33 am

My name’s Justine but some of my family calls me Justy (hence the screenname I use) or Jus. I have one great uncle who calls me JT. My sister and I call each other skister. That’s about it though. Most people just call me Justine!

candice January 9, 2009 at 10:41 am

Llama is very funny. My Mom calls me Naner short for Nena or Nenaner which is what my brother called me when he was little). My husband calls me babe. The longest nickname was from College when some friends called me “candice queen of the ethopians” or just Queen (this from Acts in the bible). But I absolutely REFUSE to be called Candy, and I always correct people who try and call me that:)

Mmm…I want your oats.

I also did an interval treadmill workout today and thought of your post from yesterday while I did it. Boy did it go by fast that way!

My nickname in college was Money. I played basketball and was er…um, kind of good, well, kind of Money. The point of the story is that so many people called me Money that when we got a transfer student on the team, she actually thought for half the season that my actual name was Money. She finally asked me, “Why did your parents name you ‘Money’?”

I actually kind of miss being Money.

Happy Friday Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini! (had that one before???)

What a fun random question–my answer is kind of silly. My parents have always called me BooBoo. I don’t know why! Over the years it’s sometimes become just “Boo” which often takes people by surprise!
Your nicknames are cute :)

I have a couple of nicknames. In highschool, it was Rocker (cuz ya know, I had the ripped jeans and all, although, so did most of my friends). Then at skating probably, 8 or so years ago now, I got the nickname of Fâché…it’s a long story though. But that one sticks to this day.

let’s see…Claire-Bear, Clarence, Clara Belle, Clarice, Lizzie (my middle name is Elizabeth), and my little baby cousin calls me Clara (she’s the ONLY one that I’m okay with calling me Clara…there is NO “a” on the end of my name. When I graduated high school and the vice principal announce valedictorian she called me Clara Elizabet Nettis…none of my names were pronounced correctly!
