I’m welcoming Wednesday with open arms! (And a early morning run!)
Wanted to say THANK YOU for so much support on the #15minutesforyou Challenge! I’m excited to see what you guys come up with and how you plan to spend that time each day. I already have a goal in mind for myself (and it involves Travis – lucky him)! Remember – we start NEXT MONDAY (June 30th).

Breakfast – (recycled pic)
FlapJacked Protein Pancakes with extra egg whites and blueberries (must remember to spray the pan!), coffee + So Delicious French Vanilla creamer
AM Snack
Golden delicious + Peanut Butter & Co squeeze pack <-love these for car snacks!
Lunch
Grilled chicken + side salad + cantaloupe (Ken’s Caesar dressing added after pic)
Afternoon Snack
Onnit’s Hemp Force protein bar
Afternoon Snack #2
Stovetop cookies
(made these for Everett & Kathryn – had to lick the pan to see if they were poisonous. They weren’t. Phew.
What they WERE was too soft so I had to spoon them into an old Christmas-cookie container and make them into a “bar.” This happens more often than I’d like to admit. To top it all, I slapped a big “A” on the top ….for artistic points.)
Dinner
Pizza Hut pizza + salad
(Travis’ brother Everett just welcomed a new baby so we took them supper. Oh my word, he’s a cutie!!! This is how I “cook” when a friend has a baby – takeout pizza and bagged salad and stovetop cookies that don’t set up. Luckily everyone’s so busy eating the pizza and the cookies that they don’t notice that I’m lazy. #hoodwinked)
Bedtime Snack
1/2 Quest Cookies & Cream bar (broiled for 1 minute – split with Travis)
(Quest sent everyone at Blend Retreat even MORE swag! Two boxes of Cookies & Cream bars showed up on our doorstep yesterday, so we just had to try one out!! Soooo good! Thanks, Quest!)

QUESTION: Best thing you ate all day yesterday! GO!

mm my overnight oats with fresh strawberries and flaxseed yum the recipe is on my blog :) x
Whenever we I bake my mom always has to come around and make sure they’re good. Luckily my creations always pass :)
I have been crazy about my gluten free sourdough starter lately, so the best thing I ate yesterday was a huge, hot, crispy edged sourdough pancake slathered in melting butter! Yummmm. I’m addicted! :)
oooooo YUM!!!
FRESH STRAWBERRIES omg! just so good and juicy and delicious!
Mmmm I’ve had a thing for no-bake cookies lately (what you call stove top cookies)!! We’ve been making them quite a bit around here the last month or so.
Love those Quest Cookies ‘n Cream bars!
Best thing I ate yesterday was an avocado topped veggie burger! Yum!
The new baby is so cute! Ah I love squishy babies!

mmmm..gelato!! love it! what brand?
I keep seeing Quest bars everywhere; guess I need to try one. The best thing I ate yesterday has to be leftover asian sloppy joes made Monday night.
Totally not related to this post- my apologies- but how soon after the arrival of cute little Porter did you get back into a regular workout routine? I’m 38 weeks today with my first, but anxious to get back running after he arrives! Much like you mentioned in an earlier post, running once I hit 28-30 weeks just felt horrible!
Hey Katie!!
First congrats on the baby!! He’ll be here in no time!! It’s so excited at the end!
I always tell clients to listen to their body, prenatal and postpartum. It depends on so many factors (bleeding, a C-section, energy, etc), but FOR ME, I always felt like I could start easing back into exercise around 4-6 weeks postpartum. Even at 10 days postpartum, I take walks – slow and short, but still I feel my best when I MOVE. Talk to your doctor & listen to your body. And good luck – babies are the best!! :)
we were so spoiled by that swag! and i still want more. haha. LOOOVE it all!
I have been housing those Quest bars. You guys rock so much for getting them to sponsor allllll that schwag! Best thing I ate was my yogurt dessert bowl. ‘Cause I topped it with bacon sprinkles. ;)
