Afternoon loves!
Glad everyone thinks Anthony is pretty scary too ! It was funny!
I was bummed Mike went back to work today , but then saw this and it made me happy!
It is the little things like this in life , that are beautiful!
I have not worked out in 12 days! Where have I been ? What have I been doing?
Oh you know, just getting married 
and on a honeymoon in Maui 
Point is, I was enjoying a precious time in my life, and not worrying about working out, and I do this in my daily life , if I can’t squeeze in my regular 5 days a week, or if I only work out 3 days, or none, its OK! Life is too short to stress over it, and Im not going to die 
We should all feel the same way!
I went back at it today, 30 minute sweat session on the elliptical! I did miss it, I have to admit, it feels good to sweat!
I did this awesome Fitsugar elliptical workout!

I was a sweaty mess when I was done! I had the incline on 13 as well!
I came home and whipped up something fast to eat! I needed protein, but I didn’t want a protein shake, so I made a Protein Fruit Pizza!
Best.Idea.Ever.
I took a whole wheat pita, grilled it up on the skillet to make it crispy, then made my protein frosting mixture which is -
Sunwarrior Protein Powder + Water AND I added almond butter in it too for healthy fat yum!
Topped with strawberry and kiwi slices too , I picked those up at the store the other day, cut up and fresh, love fruit!
I also had a cameo apple, my apple a day I usually ALWAYS have one apple a day, I love them!
Im off to the pool and to read my new book I downloaded on the Kindle last night, its called ” Room” by Emma Donoghue, it is AMAZING so far! It took everything in me to not read half of it last night!
Have you read any amazing books recently?
I loved “The Help” that was a fave!
See you later loves!
Katie xoxo

Love that wedding picture! So beautiful.
thank you! the professional ones should be in soon!
I love your attitude about not stressing and just enjoying the exciting time in your life! And I bet it felt awesome to get back to sweating after the temporary vacay — can be so good for the body to just rest for a while, and then you get back to the gym feeling rejuvenated!
Your protein pizza idea is fab! And I also loved The Help — such an amazing book!
That picture of y’all at the altar is GORGEOUS!!
yes, you have to have a positive mindset , and working out I LOVE, but I dont stress over if I am going to work out everyday or be on a strict schedule, I live life : )
Thanks! Love you!
and I cant wait to see the movie “The Help” , but of course, book is always better!
I loved the Help too, and I’m definitely gonna give that one a go after your rec!!
And I LOVE your attitude to working out!! I’m the same now! Especially when I’m going on tour next week, I just wanna have time with friends and I’m not going to worry about not working out much. LIFE is more important!
P.S. That protein fruit pizza looks SO good!! You are a GENIUS!!
Thanks girl!!! Im glad you have a good attitude as well, and def enjoy your trip!!!! Dont stress!!
Love u!
I love your attitude towards working out – you’re so right that there’s no reason to stress over it – just enjoy life and get your sweat on when you can!!
And I definitely need to make a protein fruit pizza!! What a quick and delicious idea!!
Hope you’re having a wonderful day!! xoxo
I’m with ya girl — life is too short to ‘sweat’ about a missed workout day. I think I’m one of the rare ones that doesn’t feel guilty having 2-3 rest days a week!
Yes : ) Im glad!
and Im so excited for you and the husband!!!! Congrats again!
I do this too, I love how great a ‘crust’ pita bread makes!
I read ‘Room’ a couple of months ago – read it in a day! Enjoy
Its so good!
Great book, Im trying not to read it in a day, so hard not to !

I actually just finished reading Room today, and it was absolutely amazing. I read The Help before that, and loved it too
Right now I’m reading The Kite Runner, and loving it so far.

< 3 xoxo
I love your relaxed and positive attitude towards working out. I SO hope I can get there someday, too.
Love your fruit pizza! One of my fave things to take to parties (when I actually went to parties – haha) was fruit pizza. The “cheese” was some kind of cheesecake type mixture and it was topped with an assortment of fruits. So good!!
You will girl! U just have to stay positive and don’t let it get to you, just keep that mind set that each day you should live to the fullest!
Muah!!! xoxo <3
I keep meaning to read The Help but I start reading other books and forget about it!
I love your attitude about exercise — and I would much rather spend my time getting married + honeymooning in Hawaii!
You must read it, so good!!
The movie is coming out too!
I wish we were still in Maui : ) we miss it!
Protein pizza sounds like a fun alternative to a shake! Will have to try that soon. Also, the note from your hubby is too cute! Looks like you got a great catch!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!!
Yes its really good!
Yes, he is awesome, Im pretty lucky ; )
Hunger Games all the way! Finished the first this weekend and started the second at the gym today!!!
That protein pizza looks great!
U go girl!! speed reader!!! ha!
Just did that elliptical sesh! I really loved it, but I felt like I was constantly looking down to make sure I was hitting the SPM target. Did you?
Hey !!!!! thanks for stopping by!
U know I actually do not pay attention to that, just customize the work out to fit you!! I just made sure to work hard, and if I dont hit the same targets its ok, as long as your working out hard!!!
i love that first picture! cant wait to see more from the wedding.
WHY have i not bought sun warrior protein yet!?
u need to buy some!! thank you!!!!
Ahh, I feel like I’ve been missing so much since I unplugged from the blog world over the weekend. Friend, I hear ya on not stressing out about workouts. You had every right to enjoy this beautiful time in your life. No need to feel guilty – that’s not a healthy way to live.
P.S. Foodbuzz is 4 months away!!!
That pizza! What a good idea.
I downloaded “the help” but haven’t read it yet. Are you going to watch the movie?

omg that fruit pizza looks amazing! such a good idea
and that sounds like a good & quick workout- my favorite kind
gahhhh so many things i just updated myself on you! haha first of all APPLE PIE GUM! i’m on the hunt for that asap!! and i bought that keratin conditioner a couple of weeks ago and LOVE it!!!! its really good and a good price i haven’t tried the shampoo yet though
Love crispy apples!! Mmm!!
ADORE a sweat sesh!!
I have an apple a day, too! I love apples!
I remember reading that on your blog before! Love apples!!
Your protein pizza looks great! For almost a year I had to have an apple a day. Then I sort of burned out on them, but I have them a few times a week. I’ve been reading a lot lately and just finished “A Young Mans Journey” by David Pelzer (author of a Child called It).
Yeah, I love apples! I never get sick of them, not yet ; )
I love reading, i have been slacking though, I need to read more again, especially at night, thats when I like to ; )
