My favorite type of morning is getting my workout in first thing, followed by a hearty breakfast. For some reason, this combination always puts me in a good mood and sets the tone for my day. (I’m in such a great mood now! :mrgreen:)
Before heading to the gym for Body Pump, I snacked on a SOYJOY bar. I hate exercising on an empty stomach.
After Body Pump, Mal and I headed to the Wheelhouse Diner for breakfast. As you probably know, I love this diner. It’s my fav! I’ve written MANY reviews about it over the years:

Actually, I’m pretty much obsessed with diners, in general. I love everything about them.
Mal and I popped into Dunkin Donuts for iced coffees before heading to the Wheelhouse. D&D after a tough workout is heaven on earth! š
For breakfast, I got “the usual” with rye bread. So delicious! I ate it ALL!
Today is going to be another a busy day. I’m headed to a friend’s birthday party right now and then to a family BBQ later this evening.
Enjoy your Saturday! š

Hooray, sounds like you’ve got a lovely day planned! Oh, to be post-uni and not have revision….I haven’t left the house since 10am this morning (it’s 4pm here) cos I’ve been revising all day š I hear spring is here apparently!?
Have a great day!
I definitely agree it’s best to get the workout in first thing. It makes the rest of the morning feel freer!
Diner hash is my absolute favorite
what a yummy breakfast…here’s to hoping i have a good one too š hope the rest of your saturday is as fabulous as it sounds like it will be š
I could not agree more with waking up early and working out! It makes me feel so refreshed when I am done and I have already accomplished a great thing before anything can get in the way! Your breakfast looks tasty! Have a great Saturday!
I love working out first thing too! That breakfast looks soooo yummy.
I really envy morning exercisers. I can see why it’s so great. Now if only I could get my butt out of bed! Enjoy the party and barbecue!
Working out first thing in the morning sets me up for a good day! That rye toast looks delicious.
Yes! I teach Saturday mornings and I just love it. Breakfast or brunch out is seriously my favorite…we go every Sunday. Enjoy your weekend š give that adorable pug of yours a hug from me
I love getting my workouts in first thing too!!! And I also love diners….especially for a yummy breakfast like yours. Nothing beats eggs on the weekends. Enjoy your day!
I’ve heard not-so-great things about the soyjoy bars…u r one of the few that seem to like them!
That rye bread looks yum with eggs.
Yum…I love rye bread!
could you describe what your body pump class consists of? sounds like a good workout, i want to find something similar!
Yes– a workout first thing is the best!!
I’m not a big fan of the soy joy bars…I tried really hard to like them, but they just don’t do it for me. Oh well! š
I love diners too. I love how you can get breakfast 24/7 and there’s something for everyone!
Have you ever tried Nugo bars? Just wondering what you think of them. Have a great day!
I HAVE to work out in the morning. I have for over 10 years. I get up at 445 to do it, but it is SO worth it!
@Jessica @ How Sweet It Is:
I absolutely MUST workout in the morning too – workouts at night actually seem so much harder for some reason, I’m not too sure why. I also get up at 4:45 on a fairly regular basis and all my friends think I’m crazy but I feel SOOOO good after!!
I am so not a morning workout person, I hate getting up! But I have to admit I do feel great when Im up and sweating early! And Dunkins is wonderful always!
I love morning workouts, specially long bike rides on the country side. But, I’ll have to wait summer for that.
Have a nice day!
I would workout in the morning if I had time before my super-early bus to school… But there’s no gym nearby, nor would my mom allow me to exercise outside in the dark. š
I can totally see what you mean by feeling great after exercise, though. Endorphins FTW!
Have a great Saturday!
Wei-Wei
Love morning work outs, hope you have a great day!
I live in the area and agree…Wheelhouse is awesome!
Workout + yummy breakfast = perfect morning.
Couldn’t agree more! š
i don’t drink coffee anymore but i do miss dunkin donuts! they don’t have them on the west coast, it’s a crime.
What’s your favourite diner in Boston, Tina?
My favorite type of morning involves getting a workout in first thing too! Love it. I also love diners and just breakfast/brunch places in general because they serve my favorite foods! Have a most excellent Saturday Tina!
Me too, I love to get my workout in early and follow it up with a hearty breakfast!
I would absolutely love soyjoy bars, but they are just so dang small they can’t ever satisfy me!
Your “usual” always looks so delicious! I’m a huge fan of diners for breakfast too. And I agree, getting the Saturday workout finished first thing is always the BEST feeling! š
@Lynn (The Actors Diet): They don’t have Dunkin Donuts on the west coast?!? I had NO idea! That IS a crime!
I love morning weekend workouts too!! It puts me in a productive mode for the day!!
Have a great weekend š
Did your gym already launch BodyPump 73? Ours launched it today, but I couldn’t even get a spot in class; it was PACKED!
Love the diner pics….cute! š Way to go with an early morning workout!

When possible, working out in the morning is sooo much better for me. Also there is much less of a chance that I will flake out on my workout then. That bread looks delicious!!
I just started adding more morning workouts into my routine…what took so long?! I love them. They definitely put me in a great mood, too. It’s a beautiful Saturday – enjoy!
I also love working out in the morning, it just raises those endorphins and makes you feel so great and ready for the day.
Morning workouts are the best, and depending on if I ate enough (or too much) for dinner the night before, sometimes no snack is needed before. I cramp easily, especially with a high intensity cardio workout. Hope the weather is nice for a BBQ today!

I feel exactly the same way! I love banging out the workout in the morning, it helps me feel awesome the rest of the day. I workout stronger too! In the afternoon, I feel so sluggish, and post workout, I feel really drained!
I also totally heart post-exercise iced coffee! It’s awesome!
Diners are one of my favorite places to eat. We try to find one to eat at wherever we go.
I love little diners, too. So fun and personal compared to chain restaurants.
BTW, that SoyJoy flavor is good!
We have something in common. I love going to diners and I also hate working out with an empty stomach. I try to drink fruit shakes or fruits before going to the gym. =)

My favorite Saturday morning is leisurely breakfast with paper and crosswords, digesting, epic workout, long shower and beautification for a fun Saturday activity, and then an awesome lunch.
I wish we had diners in Australia. They’re so homey and welcoming!
