Happy Fridayyyyyyy!
I’m feeling so much better today than I was yesterday…and thank goodness for that, since I really don’t need to be balling my eyes out while handing out swag bags later this afternoon. Ya feel me?
I was planning on getting up a bit earlier this morning to squeeze in a walk before hitting the road, buuuuut that totally did not happen. Instead, I snoozed for another 40 minutes or so before finally getting up and getting ready.
Once I was showered and semi-packed, I whipped up breakfast and made a glass of iced coffee…which was extra awesome today, thanks to a little extra time in the freezer.
Nice, cold, and semi-slushy.
I was actually really craving these today, but was too lazy to make them, so I settled for the next best thing. Waffles, baby.
Two of ‘em – one with almond butter, one with peanut butter – both with banana slices, chia seeds, and cinnamon.
I think I’ve also decided after today that I’m no longer going to take pictures of my waffles…because by the time I sit down to eat them, they’re semi cold. And that blows. So from now on, it’s recycled photos of waffles around here.
Now, it’s about time to finish getting all of my crap together and get ready to hit the road!
I must say, as much as I’m not looking forward to driving by myself, I am so thankful for the fact that I do not have to deal with airlines, trains, or any other public transportation this weekend. I swear, sometimes the anxiety I get from traveling is just obnoxious.
So in a few hours, I’ll be in good ‘ol Boston again and ready to hang out with some pretty sweet peeps! If you’re interested, feel free to check out some my recaps from last year’s Healthy Living Summit…

I think waffles + PB + bananas = party in my mouth.
I actually love traveling by plane because it makes me feel more like I’m taking a “destination vacation” or something like that. But, I hear ya about public transportation anxiety.
Have a blast at the healthy living summit! Looking forward to everyone’s updates. There’s lots I can learn!
Alex @ Brain, Body, Because says
I feel the same way about airplane travel. It’s almost as if the headaches of it make the destination that much more special.
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance says
I was at the Chicago HLS a few years ago–it was so much fun! Hope you have a great time this weekend. :)
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says

Alana says
Hey, don’t feel bad about having an off day. I can’t speak for everyone but I actually like knowing you’re REAL (you seem so darn perfect sometimes, being all pretty and perky lol). Keep being real with us, because we love it and we love you :)
Erica { EricaDHouse.com } says
I hope you have another successful and safe trip to HLS!

Semi-cold food..one of the reasons I can’t photograph all meals! Safe travels :)
Amanda B. says
Welcome back to Boston!
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries says
I can’t stand cold waffles either! Or any food that is supposed to be warm for that matter. I’m so so so glad to hear you’re feeling better today! :) Have FUN this weekend!
Alex @ Healthy Life Happy Wife says
Have fun! Looking forward to hearing all about it!!

Have fun at HLS! Wish I could be there this year, but I’ve got a bun in the oven. :)
Michelle (Better with Berries) says
Safe travels today!
And I don’t blame you for eating your waffles sans picture. No one needs cold waffles :-)
Alyssa says
Ha I was just saying yesterday that anything with Peanut Butter and bananas is heaven! lol Have fun at HLS! Maybe I will hit it up next year, too! Can’t wait for recaps :)

Can’t wait for HLS today!!! It’s my first time attending one!

mmm…waffles. Cannot go wrong.
Have an awesome time in Boston!
Katherine @ The Fit Lady Sings says
Have a wonderful time! I wish I could be there!
Jillian @ Sprinkle Massacre says
I’m soo sad that I’ll be missing HLS this year. I’m leaving for Mexico on Sunday, so it would be too much travel. Have so much fun and good luck with your speech! You’ll be awesome girl! Miss ya!
Tina @ Best Body Fitness says
I so wish I was there with you all this weekend!
Bek @ Crave says
You know what they say! Sometimes it is definitely better to sleep in then workout. I guess it was just one of those days for you :) Haha, I think recycling your waffle photos is a good idea- I hate it when my hot foods end up semi-cold :) We can all live with that sacrifice ;) Have fun! Can’t wait to hear (read haha) about it all.
Lauren @The Homeostatic Mindset says
Man! I NEED some of those waffles in my life! Whenever you post them, I’m always so jealous ;)
Kat Wesley says
Good luck and enjoy. Have fun always. I love eating waffles.
