It’s Friday once again! Woo hoo.
I hope y’all have some fun things planned for this evening. We still haven’t quite decided what we’re doing yet, but I’m sure it will be fun. 😉
I went to Costco the other day and loaded up on a bunch of their awesome produce.
Love, love, love!
I was SOOOO thrilled to see this incredible bag of POWER greens!
An organic triple washed bag of kale, chard and spinach!?? How cool is that?!
As soon as I saw this bag, I knew I HAD to have it! It was only 5 bucks for this giant bag too! I love Earthbound Farm; good quality, great tasting food that stays fresh forever. LOVE!
I’ve been enjoying lots of yummy salads this week too! I love making salads when I have a whole slew of wonderful things to put in them!
The Power Greens tasted great in there and I’ve also been loving tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, hard boiled eggs, avocado and chicken or turkey. Everything’s tasted great to me!
I also made a double batch of Chocolate Protein Pancakes yesterday so I could top them with the yummy berries I bought.
Heavenly! I topped mine with a little bit of natural peanut butter, strawberries, blueberries and sugar-free syrup.
Fruit has tasted SO GOOD to me this pregnancy. I seriously crave it. I made some Fall Apart Chicken in the Crock-Pot the other night and it was great. I served it with a bunch of fruit on the side.
I threw the Fall Apart Chicken in the Crock-Pot in the morning and then put some quinoa in the rice cooker on a timer later on. I ran to the gym for a bit while everything finished cooking.
I got a great upper body workout in and was so happy to have dinner all ready when I got home. I was going to roast some veggies too, but decided to keep it simple and just do the fruit.
I also went on a beautiful run on Wednesday evening.
We’ve had the most PERFECT running weather lately and I’ve loved being outside in the fresh air. I only ran 3 miles, but it felt so good.
I’m trying to run 2-3 times a week right now, but I’ve just been taking it nice and easy. I’m strictly running for enjoyment and exercise right now; not for speed or distance.
I’m hoping to continue to run throughout this pregnancy, but we’ll see how it goes. I ran sporadically during the beginning of my last pregnancy, but then I quit. Soooo, it will be interesting to see how running goes with a big belly. I will do my best. 😉 I might have to look into getting one of those belly support bands. So cute.
I also took these cuties to lunch at Carls Jr the other day.
Despite the looks on their faces, they had a lot of fun and loved playing on the playground! I got myself a Grilled Chicken Salad and it was decent.
I was happy to see it only had 280 calories. I topped it with their Balsamic Dressing and it only had 35 calories in the whole package! I didn’t even use the entire thing either. Score. I did snag a few fries from the kiddos though. Yum.
Well, that’s the latest. I’m hoping to go on a quick walk with the kiddos and dog in just a sec. I’ve gotta hurry though because it’s getting dark quickly. Oh, and I’M SO HAPPY that Daylight Savings is this weekend!! Yay! It will make it really feel like spring. I LOVE IT!

Happy Friday everyone!! Enjoy your weekend.
Are you in Utah or Colarado? It looks so warm there. Lucky you. I can’t wait to start running outside again. Spring ahead is not matching the weather here. We still have so much snow.
Hooray for running and feeling better. I’m glad that things are tasting good to you again!!!
I’m excited about the time change, too – almost spring finally!
Love it when this happens… when I get to the end of a post and see that I’m a winner! Yes!
The Fall Apart Chicken looks delicious!
FYI – you look amazing and I would never even know you are pregnant! You look GORGEOUS!! 🙂
Everything looked amazing in this post!! You are such a motivation and inspiration!

I am actually making my Costco list right now. Hope I get a great haul like you.
Your salads look great, so happy you’re feeling good enough to eat veggies again! I always buy the plain (huge) bag of spinach at Costco, but I should check this bag out!
Your salads look so delicious! I have seen that power greens before and think it is awesome! I hate buying a bunch of fresh bunches and then having them go to waste because I can’t use 7lbs of fresh greens! That bag is perfect!
Just stumbled onto your site, first of all your family is so cute! Your recipes look delicious and I will have to keep updated how you do with your runs while prego! Didn’t work out so well for me haha
Thanks so much! I’m so happy you found me!
I swear I’ve never seen a pregnant woman not look pregnant this far along! Amazing! That salad looks delicious…I love that brand too and love to eat HUGE salads everyday with lots of vegan Caesar dressing….it’s amazing, but it truly if one of my favorite foods and makes me feel so great.
You’re so sweet. Although I don’t really look pregnant, I’m definitely feeling huge. 😉 I love huge salads too and I have to try your yummy dressing!
