Good morning friends! After 3 days away from the gym, it felt great to get back in there. I got to the gym around 5:00 and did a 35 minute run followed by some leg work in the weights area.
I haven’t give you an update on my gym in a while, but after the water pipe burst in early January, it took forever to renovate the entire circuit weight area. A week before it was supposed to be finished, it happened again! Luckily, it happened in a much smaller area, so hopefully the new carpet should be down and ready by the end of the week. I can’t wait to have my floor space again. I feel like my strength workouts have been a little slack lately, but without my usual space to do my favorite circuits, I’ve been sticking to simpler plans.
While I head off to what promises to be another loooong day staring at my computer screen, I thought I’d perk things up by indulging in a little daydreaming, so allow me to introduce you to:
My Fantasy Pinterest Life
I’ve been daydreaming a lot lately. When things get stressful at work (which is basically this entire month for me), I tend to think of things I’d rather be doing. Pinterest is the best place to daydream, because you can create a fictional and perfect life for yourself via internet bulletin boards. It’s the greatest.
If you don’t follow me on Pinterest yet, I encourage you to join in on the fun. Here’s what my Pinterest fantasy life looks like (clicking on the pictures will take you to that pin):
In my Pinterest fantasy life, I get dressed in this closet:
In my Pinterest fantasy life, I’d select a fine wine from my private wine cellar to unwind at the end of the day.
Then I’d drink said wine on my Pinterest fantasy balcony, because of course I live on the ocean.
In my Pinterest fantasy life, Riley and I would vacation in Bora Bora.
I’d wear this on our date night.
For dessert, I’d eat this Chocolate lasagna. All of it. Because this is fantasy Pinterest land and calories don’t exist.
And while we’re in the land of no calories, let’s throw in this garlic bread for funsies. P.S. I’ve made this before and it’s freaking amazing.
In my Pinterest fantasy life, I’d look like this when I did yoga (and I’d actually DO yoga).
I’d make sexy poses at the gym in my bra.
Wait, scratch that. No one looks like that at the gym. And who works out with their hair down?!! Thanks, Pinterest, for giving me unrealistic expectations…It seems my fantasy bubble has been burst by the Victoria’s Secret model working out in full makeup and scratching her hip seductively. Guess I should wrap it up with that one, but first….
To round out this lovely list, I’d have an exceptionally stylish daughter, courtesy of the Greatest Pinterest Board Ever.
Doesn’t my Pinterest life look amazing? Don’t get me wrong, I love my real life, but let’s not lie- it’d be pretty sweet to have that wine cellar. Thanks for indulging in the daydreaming with me and I hope you have a great day!
What does your Pinterest fantasy life look like?
What’s a good circuit workout I can do crammed into a 2-foot corner space?
Hahaha this cracked me up. Pinterest does make an amazing fantasy life 😉
I LOVE the Nike Trainer app for circuit workouts! I’m not sure how much space the all take up but I can usually fit them in somewhere in an empty spot at my gym! Good luck!
Best fantasy life ever! I love NTC too, I’ve tried a ton of their workouts!
You just made my day! Hilariousss!!! I think we all secretly have a Pinterest life where everything is perfect 😉
So true! I’m just so glad it wasn’t around when I was planning my wedding or else I would’ve gone broke.
Haha this is great– my Pinterest life looks very similar to yours 😉
Love it! Our Pinterest lives are so great
Haha I love this! I don’t do pinterest but I would do allllll the things in your pinterest fantasy life. LOVE that outfit!!!
I need that outfit in my closet right now!
hahaha this is awesome! I have a “dream” board for everything! If only I could just live in a pinterest world! Did you see that video where the guy planned his wife’s wedding entirely from her pinterest account and surprised her?! It was amazing!
That’s incredible! I didn’t use Pinterest when planning my wedding, but fantasy Pinterest weddings are the best!
Wow that beach patio looks amazing! If only, if only!
I know, right? I can’t till I win the lottery and buy my ocean-front mansion!
HAHHA oh my gosh I am dying. This was hilarious and I loved reading about your fantasy life! I want everything you said. This actually just made my awful day of work so much better, haha
Yay, glad it brought some laughs to your day!
I love this post!! And I too love to daydream on Pinterest. I love that pink dress – co cute!!
I know, I want that dress so badly!
I looks almost just like my fantasy Pinterest life, and that little girl is adorable!
That girl is super cute and stylish!
Kelly! Great minds thing alike! Mirrors my fantasy life. And I have those shoes if you want to borrow them haha. Thanks for following my blog. Mine is not as pretty as your’s so I’m going to see Uncle Chuck’s admin person tomorrow so mine will look as pretty as yours. 🙂
Can’t wait to see what you do with your blog! Congrats on getting it up and running!
Hahahahahaha the wine cellar. Admit it- You’d LIVE in there. And that garlic knot bread thing….oh my gee. Its 7.06am now and I wouldn’t mind some garlic breath for that.
I’d totally live in my wine cellar! with my garlic bread, of course. That stuff is the bomb, I highly recommend it.
Being able to look like that when doing yoga would be amazing… it makes me actually want to start practicing regularly. I wonder how long you’d have to be at it to be able to do that… #wishfulthinking
Hahahahaha. That was an awesome blog! I love ur fantasy Pinterest life, pour me a glass, I’m coming over!!
this made.my.day!!! I would love for real lie to be like pinterest life! I am trying not to let pinterest become my obsession while planning my wedding because like you said Pinterest is not real life… pinterest wedding does not make a real life wedding, just will make me cray cray !
It would be soooo hard to have Pinterest while wedding planning!
Favorite post of the day awad goes to YOU! Seriously, this is awesome. If you ever happen to go to Bora Bora, let me know.. I wanna come!! I’ll hide out in your suitcase.. or we can make it one big blogger trip!
haha thank you! Blogger trip to Bora Bora? I vote yes, please!!
Haha I love this! My fantasy pinterest house has a library with a hammock in it. I think I had to actually delete that pin because I realized I would never ever have that 🙂 Your pinterest life looks pretty amazing though! I’ll definitely take some of that chocolate lasagna and garlic bread!
Library and hammock- definitely good choices!
Love love this post! Love that dress you would wear it is so pretty!
In my dream life on Pinterest I am master of crafts, baking, have an insane wardrobe, body and travel the world!!
I had to double check but I do definitely follow you on Pinterest already 😉
Wow, your Pinterest life sounds pretty amazing. I think being a master baker or chef should be an addition to mine as well.
I want to find that dress soon, or at least something similar!
