This morning, I was greeted with this awesome message on my Facebook page…
I literally laughed out loud. A friend who I’ve known way back since kindergarten (holla to Mr. Brennan’s class, Jessica!) posted this to my Facebook wall yesterday and I just think it’s great. I showed it to Jay this morning and he proceeded to look at it, laugh, say, “You know she’s probably making fun of you right?,” and then smirk back at me.
Hey, ya know what? Even if it was to make fun, I can totally, 100% accept that because it’s funny and it’s true…except most of the time, my pics upload to here, not always on Facebook.

Not much happening last night on the food front. Jay and I had our last regular season softball game last night, which we won, giving us only one loss for the whole season. Playoffs should be starting sooooon!
Since the game was later, we did have some time to eat, so I ended up cooking a pork tenderloin that we had in the freezer (similar to this one) and served it along with some veggies. Quick and easy.

This morning, I started the day off with some yoga. It’s probably been almost a week since I last got a session in and I was starting to get antsy. Today’s video of choice was 40 minutes of Yoga Bootcamp Core Strength and let me tell you…it was TOUGH.
My hamstrings were super tight, my hips were sore from catching last night, and my upper back/shoulders – well, they’ve been a mess for weeks. (That being said, I’m willing to pay a masseuse in the form of unlimited, homemade cupcakes if you’ll fix me). I felt a bit better by the end but wow, was that a humbling experience.
Post-workout, it was breakfast time.
But of course, before eating, I did make sure to to attempt to take my pic at a nice, artsy angle.
The usual waffle combo today, topped with Justin’s Almond Butter, banana slices, chia seeds, cinnamon, and a teeny drizzle of maple syrup. And I’m pretty sure I’m currently on a waffle kick right now.
I’ve got another busy day ahead of me today, which also includes finishing up a couple batches of birthday cupcakes for a little birthday celebration that we’ll be going to later this evening. While tomorrow is Jay’s birthday, today is my friend Mal’s birthday, so we’ll be celebrating the two together just like we did last year. Happy Birthday, Mal!!
Question for the Morning:
What food kicks are YOU on lately?
Chelsea says
I am completely obsessed with kodiak cakes at the moment. I’ll mix protein powder into the mixture and eat them with bananas on top, perfection.
Erica { EricaDHouse.com } says
Does Lemon Water count as a food kick? I’ve been starting off every day with a tall glass and loving it!
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
I’ve been on a waffle topped with yogurt kick lately. I’m also loving Justin’s Maple Almond Butter with apples – so good!
Khushboo Thadani says
Haha that picture is priceless- can totally identify! I’m on a yogurt bowl kick..I can’t get enough: plain yogurt (or Greek) mixed with almonds, vanilla Sunwarrior and pomegranate seeds….YUM!
Presley @ Run Pretty says
Love it! Haha
Michelle Hunt says
Well done on all the game wins!! I need to get myself in to some yoga!
Melissa @ runscootsrun.blogspot.com says
Congrats on your win! :) I love the kashi blueberry waffles. Trail mix is my current food kick right now, lol. Have a great day!
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
That is awesome- funny + true!
……Strawberries and cream oatmeal (cream = greek yogurt) it has been rocking my world!!! :)
Alex @ Brain, Body, Because says
Greek yogurt mixed with PB and honey! Tons of protein and healthy fats :)
Lauren @ Call Me Mrs. Rapp says
I am obsessed with those “your ecards” that pop up on pinterest and Facebook! Almost every time I laugh and think “that’s so true!”
Danica @ It's Progression says
I’ve been eating strawberries and blueberries like it’s my job…all summer so far…they’re so good and since I live in MN our non-summer fresh fruit is pretty much limited to apples, bananas, and oranges, I have to enjoy them now!
Elaine says
Haha love the ecard! I have so many food obsessions at the moment, it’s a bit ridiculous. I recently made S’more Cookies that are out.of.this.world good. But not so great for you…. I’m also obsessed with chia seeds. I’ve been adding them to everything-smoothies, oatmeal, salads. They are great and so good for you!
Anne @ LoveMintChocolateChip says
hahahahaha i love it! that describes me perfectly. i am sending it to my boyfriend now he, like jay, will get a kick out of it. i had waffles for breakfast too!! i am on a major some type of healthy carb (waffle/bagel/cereal/toast) kick with AB or PB + bananas + blueberries + chia. I can not get enough!
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance says
I am on a huge summer fruit kick! Can’t eat enough strawberries, cherries and blackberries.
Karleen says
I am eating sandwich toast with banana slices on top for the third day in a row as I catch up on your blog:) love the sweet and savory combo especially when the bananas ate super ripe. Yummy!
Katherine @ The Fit Lady Sings says
I was reintroduced to muesli recently, and I’ve been loving it! I mix it with a little greek yogurt and fresh fruit!
Lindsey says
Greek yogurt with almond butter!
Talia @ Bite Size Wellness says
I’m on a lentil kick! More and more often I feel like I could be a vegetarian…might have to challenge myself to that at some point!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
That is too funny!!!! When I first got Instagram on my phone, I was totally like that. And I am awful with technology, so I would spend way too long fiddling around with all the special effects.
Danielle@cleanfoodcreativefitness says
That picture is the best! Totally on a summer fruit and salad kick! Nothing better in the summer!
Yellow Haired Girl says
Geez, I just love those Ecards. Always good for a giggle!
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries says
I pinned that ecard several weeks ago… I laughed out loud when I saw it too. Too funny! :)
I’m curious what that yoga bootcamp DVD is like! Where’d you find it?
Courtney says
I got it from Exercise TV when they were still around…sadly, I’m not sure if it’s still available :(
Rachel says
hahhaha that picture is my life! LOL! Currently I’ve been having smoothies for breakfast– I’m addicted lol
Jenn says
Loving a similar breakfast to yours lately, a peanut butter and banana sandwich (easy for my on the go eating). Love the message on your plate with the artsy touch ; )
Alysha @Shesontherun says
I’ve been looking for some yoga deals in my area (at an actual studio). I think I’m going to have to break down and get some videos until that happens. What are your favorites?
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
lol the mesage is so true. My poor Husband sits there waiting to eat while I take pictures and then it’s cold!
Alycia says
Tomorrow is my birthday also! I’m looking forward to making this one of my best years yet!
Lauren @ Chocolate, Cheese and Wine says
I have been on a green smoothie / breakfast wrap kick lately. It’s something about the salsa in those wraps!
kaylie says
That pic is SO funny! My boyfriend was just making fun of me about that last night at dinner. He always has to ask “Wait- can I start eating or do you need to talk a pic of my food first?” ;)
I’ve been obssessed with my breakfast of a half a bagel and Laughing Cow strawberry cream cheese spread- soooo delicious!
mina says
oh my gosh i LOVE your running shoes!!…are they nike free runs??
Courtney says
Nope! Reebok RealFlex Transitions…and I LOVE them!
Shannon says
I’ve been having Eggo Homestyle Waffles lately for breakfast, just plain. They taste pretty good. :)
Even if that picture was supposed to make fun, it’s still funny + true, like you said in the post.
Congratulations on your win from yesterday!
Laurie @ Love, Laugh, Laurie says
I need to add some waffles to my life! Especially now that I finally have some Justin’s PB!
Angela @ Health, Happiness, & Harmony says
I’m on an oatmeal kick in the morning and a Greek yogurt kick in the afternoon!
At least they’re healthy things!
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles says
Haha, so true. Dinners usually start with “waittttt…” while I run my plate outside to get the best light and take a few pictures. THEN, it’s dinnertime. :-)
Trisha says
Awesome. We watched “American Reunion” a few weeks ago. There’s a scene where Kevin & Vicky are catching up, making fun of each other & he says something about “at least I don’t take pictures of my food”. My husband has said that to me just about every day since then. He makes fun of me to no end. Years before I ever started a blog, I was obsessed with taking pictures of food & he’s never understood it. Actually, I don’t even understand it but it doesn’t stop me!
I’m on an egg kick right now. I definitely go through phases (yogurt bowls were around for a LONG time) but right now it’s eggs.
Allison @ Running Through Red Lights says
I’ve eaten so much watermelon and so many cucumbers in the past few weeks–it’s not even funny! I’ll be so sad when watermelon is no longer in season. :(
Lydia @HappyHealthyConfident says
LOL I totally had to pass that Ecard onto a few of my friends!! So True!!!
Kim@hungryhealthygirl says
I get on food kicks with my breakfast too. Lately it’s been cinnamon raisin bread with honey and egg whites. I’ve also been enjoying watermelon in my salads for lunch. Have a fun b-day dinner!
Jessica Kane says
Haha tell Jay I was NOT making fun of you! I just knew you’d totally get a kick out of it, as soon as I saw it I thought of you! :)
Bek @ Crave says
I did an awesome body balance class today and just know that tomorrow I’ll be feeling it hardcore ;)
