Happy Earth Day! Did anyone even know that holiday was today?
I’ve been stuck inside all weekend doing tons of stuff for school. Summer is SUCH a tease right now. Next Monday I will be completely finished and moving out of Orlando back home for the summer, ah!
Not only have I had to study for four tests, I decided to pick up an extra story for the school newspaper on Avoiding the Freshman 15.
It was just a column so I finished it fairly quickly. Needless to say, I have seriously been swamped.
On a seriously random note,
I had an almost empty peanut butter jar last night. I thought about making some overnight oats, or OIAJ, but then I thought I would do something different.
I put my usual bedtime snack, whipped cottage cheese, in the jar! Best idea ever. I got some peanut butter with every bite.
Anyway, today is a rest day that I am seriously welcoming with open arms. I am SO sore from yesterday’s back workout. I love it.
I just finished week seven of the Live Fit Trainer, and I’m excited for week eight! It will practically be the same, but I am loving all the exercises.
PWO meal from yesterday: tuna with a ton of veggies, nooch, and a bit of chickpeas. Half an apple on the side for some sugar + carbs. You always need protein AND carbs after a workout.
Pumpkin protein bars prepped for the week. These are my life savors when I need a snack, especially on the run. I’m sure I’ll be prepping some more food for the week today as well.
And since this blog post is already random, I’ll leave you off with some fitness inspiration ; )
Have a great Sunday!
Have you put anything other than oats in an empty PB jar?
What is your favorite fitness quote?

Do what makes you happy !!
I feel really sad when I see people working out and hating it … There are so many workouts, I’m sure they can find one they really enjoy, even if it’s not weight lifting or running… we just need to move, it can be walking, running, cross fit, bikram yoga, cycling, horse riding, skiing, taking a lap dance class, zumba, tennis, soccer… whatever ! just enjoy it =)

Best of luck!

Yummm!!
I have never had oats in a jar, or anything in a jar for the matter. For some reason, I feel like I wouldn’t like it haha, just because the jars are so narrow it seems like it would be hard to get everything out. I seriously loooove blended cottage cheese, its my new obsession. I don’t know how, but its so much better than regular. This weekend was fun for me, went out to the bar on saturday and tried out an awesome vodka drink I made. Too bad you were stuck studying, but your almost done!! Good luck with your final week, your almost there.

You really do have some great looking eats all of the time Brittany! I love the idea of the cottage cheese in the peanut butter jar, I will need to try that, I only do oats! Time to branch out

Love your eats! Do you make Jamie’s pumpkin protein bars? What recipe do you use?

Love those quotes.
My favorite is “You’ve never regretted a workout.” Works every time!
Heather @ For the Love of Kale recently posted..Kashi Products Contain GMOs
Oh my gosh, you’ve just taken nighttime whipped cottage cheese to a whole new level! I am definitely doing this next time I have an empty peanut butter jar. I’ve actually never tried OIAJ, but I’m pretty sure I’ll enjoy CCIAJ much more.
Girl, I totally commiserate with you about being swamped right now. I’m done on May 3rd, so I have to power through another week and a half. The pumpkin protein bars are my lifesavers too; I usually pack a few whenever I walk out the door, because I never know how long I’ll be stuck in a cafe or library researching! (They totally beat Starbucks’ pumpkin bread btw).
Hang in there this week! I’m cheering for you! xoxo <3

Thank you for the fitness quotes, I really needed that little inspiration boost! I’m sorry you’re feeling swamped, I can completely understand, things are exactly the same for me at the moment. Jealous that you finish so soon though! Your eats look delicious

Heya,
Just stumbled across your blog! Love it..great mix of stuff. I just started LiveFit as well..the protein pumpkin bars are SO easy to make and so good. Mine turned out really dense though last time..do yours come out that way too?
Thank you, Val! So glad you found me
They did kind of, but I think they may just be like that. Not sure! Lol
I just had egg whites in my almond butter jar
