Morning! Thursday is here and it’s almost the weekend! Sweeeeeeeeet!
Yesterday involved another day of being stuck home half the day waiting on a handy man, so I decided to do a new workout that my beautiful friend Jess from Blonde Ponytail shared on her blog yesterday!
She is also pregnant ( a little ahead of me ) and she posted a prenatal dumbbell fitness workout for us pregnant ladies, non pregnant ladies can do it too!
The workout is awesome! Seriously felt that burn and booty burn especially! I ended up doing it 4 times through and used my tabata app for time. Such a short, sweet, and effective workout! Try it if you are looking for a new one, I will be doing again for sure!

Pre-workout I did have half of a luna lemon zest bar, fab flavor I love.

30 minutes after my workout I made some lunch. Easy wrap with chicken, cheese, hummus, and spinach with apple slices.

Rest of the afternoon was spent doing computer work, talking on the phone with a company about an awesome giveaway! You guys will LOVE it and it is coming soon!
Pre-dinner snack of chobani pear with dry cereal and a crushed cinnamon cookie, yum!

The wonderful people at chobani got me stocked up on pear and banana, amazing! Thanks chobani!

Dinner was a big salad of wonderful, easy and delish!
Grilled chicken, spinach, veggies, and the new spicy hummus I picked up!

This is SO good! I am so happy I decided to try it!

Off to bed early I was and I pretty much was pinning my life away with baby shower ideas and nursery stuff too. I really want to get my baby shower invites out by March 16th since my shower is April 21st, we are almost already in March! My best friend and I are meeting Monday to discuss more baby shower things, so that will be great.

This morning I had a bagel, but not just ANY bagel, a banana bread bagel my friends!
I can’t even tell you the last time I had a bagel, but I saw these at the store and knew I would love them and damn I wish they were not a special edition! I wish the pumpkin ones they bring out in the fall were around all year too.
Thomas you are brilliant

I was wishing I had some bee’s knee’s pb from pb&co or some coco bananas peanut butter from pb crave to top on this baby!
Instead I topped the bagels with sunbutter ( which rocks! ) and strawberries!

Oh banana bread bagel heaven, soooooo good!

I am thinking it is going to be a bagel breakfast every day this week, perhaps a different topping tomorrow?

What a delicious way to start the day
Happy Thursday friends! I am hoping to get a deal on some wallflowers at bath and body works since we are completely out, going to start a Target baby registry, and have a rest day with exercise.
Mike and I are going to register at Babies R Us and Target we decided. I figured I would just do the target one quick in the day while he is at work and the Babies R Us one, which will be the big one, we will do together. Target has some good stuff, but Babies R Us is going to be the big list!
Excited to start zapping stuff with my target gun today, haha!
See ya later!

What is your favorite kind of bagel? I love blueberry, but when I worked my office job I would go to Panera so many mornings on the way to work for their cinnamon crunch bagel. So so good!
Moms or expecting moms, where was your favorite place to register at?

That bagel looks yummy Katie, actually all of your food does! You make it look so pretty
I love cinnamon and raisin bagels, a classic but soo tasty. And raisins are great when hot out the toaster. Have a great Thursday Katie!
Can’t wait to hear baby shower details!!! Have a great Thursday!
I like whole grain or nine grain bagels or something like that. The granier, the better! I love when there are nuts mixed in, too!!
Oh yay!!!! Registering will be so much fun!!! I haven’t heard of banana bread bagels! Sounds deeeelish!! Have a fantastic Thursday! Xxoo
Those bagels sound so good! I don’t really eat bagels very often but one of my favorites are either blueberry or cinnamon raisin. YUMMY!
banana bread bagel? i’m so looking for them this weekend when I go to the grocery store! great find!
Cookie and cereal in yogurt? Sign me up for that! I recently saw that banana Greek yogurt at the stores and have been wondering about it. I think I am definitely going to give it a try.
And those bagels? Um, hello! You can bet that I will be looking for those the next time that I go grocery shopping. I have a slight obsession with all things banana
.
Banana bread bagel?! That sounds pretty fantastic.
Blueberry bagels have always been my favourite, especially if there’s some strawberry cream cheese around!
I loved registering for my wedding! I kind of forgot I’ll get to do it again when I’m pregnant–yay!!
Love reading about your pregnancy workouts–I’m hoping this happens for me in the next year or so, and I’ll definitely be digging through your blog archives.
I’m going to check out that workout! Agree…..babies r us is the best place to register, especially those big ticket items!
Chobani pear – I have seen it but never tried it. How is it?!!
Oh my gosh, banana bread bagels?! Yum!!
YES! You must try!
I love bagels with lots of different textures. Nuts, seed, different grains. So good to me.
Okay, but banana bread bagel sounds like it would be mighty delicious! It looks super tasty!
Eee, can’t wait to hear about registering, that’s always the best part!
I need to start bookmarking all these great pregnancy workouts when that day (well if that day) ever comes
in high school loved cinnamon sugar bagels!
Oh wow, I definitely need to hunt down those banana bread bagels! They sound delish! It’s difficult to pick my favorite kind of bagel… If I’m going for more savory, I love everything bagels, but if I want sweet, I like cinnamon sugar or blueberry.
We registered at Target and Babies ‘R Us, both of which we’ve been pretty happy with!
Great to hear! I did target today and Mike and I going to head to Babies R Us next week! <3
I bet that bagel is SO good!! Bagels are awesome but I don’t usually get them because I have a wheat sensitivity. I love the cinnamon crunch bagel from Panera. My sister introduced me to them when she worked there.
You are the luckiest girl in the world with all that Chobani!!
Is it crazy that I’m actually not a big fan of bagels? The banana bread flavor sounds pretty tempting, but I prefer breads, wraps, and english muffins over bagels – texture thing maybe?
Have fun with the zapper gun today. I’d be incredibly dangerous with one of those in my hands…
I love Jess’s workouts, I did her kettlebell workout the other day, love it!
My favorite bagel back in the day was onion-nice and toasted well.
Now if I DO eat a bagel (doesnt happen much) I love seven grains or wheat with everything (garlic, onion, poppys, sesameseeds!)
Have fun registering!
I remember I went with my sister to register for her baby shower thinking it wouldnt take us long. We started where the baby bottles are, and we just stood there blank-stares for like 20 mins, so lost! I had no idea there were SO.MANY. OPTIONS!!!
We had to have someone at Babies R Us walk around with us for info on all products!
Thanks girl! I felt a little lost today too, I mean Anthony is going to be 13 so it has been a while!
Glad to hear the Babies R US people were helpful! Mike and I are going next week!
Banana bread bagel? Yes please! I do love the cinnamon crunch ones from Panera..that would have to be my favorite
Banana Bread Bagel!! That sounds so delicious!! I love Blueberry or my home ade wholegrain bagels. We can buy bagels only at one place here in Switzerland so ther’s no big choice
Babyshower, so exciting!!
those lemon zest luna bars are my favorite!! So are the banana chobani!
Cinnamon Crunch from Panera is definitely my all time fave. SOO yummy
Mine tooooooo
Oh wow, I’ll be on the lookout for those bagels! Love that Thomas’s is surprising us with new flavors all of the time!
I know, love it! SO good!
i LOVE a good booty burn after a work out. i hate squats but love how effective they are. especially weighted ones. banana bread bagels sound interesting. i never buy bagels either but those could be worth a try!
Banana bread bagels! Sounds like heaven – especially if you pop one in the toaster.
Yup! Toasted mine!
That bagel sounds amazing! I haven’t had one in forever but topped with peanut butter it would be so good!
Ahh! I did that EXACT SAME workout yesterday. I am a little bit behind BOTH of you two, but still in the second tri. Its amazing how rough 18 minutes (give or take!) can be!
Congrats Emily!!
Yes it was a great workout!
We just got done registering actually! We live in Chicago suburbs and just registered at a store called Buy Buy Baby. Its the sister company to Bed Bath Beyond and basically is a baby SUPERSTORE! I was lost as this is my first baby and just felt so incredibly overwhelmed, especially in the clothes/bottle section. Thank goodness the store manager knew exactly how to help us, she def knew her stuff. Err on the safe side and register for more than you think – lots of people will be wanting to buy you things!! Have fun!
Congrats and SO fun!! I have heard buy buy baby is AMAZING!!! I bet you got some awesome stuff on that list!! So exciting!!!
Thanks for sharing my workout Katie!!
I just asked a friend for a list of “must-haves” as I am LOST with registry!! My “mommy” friends are a HUGE help!
No prob beauty! Oh mommy friends are wonderful! I am doing a breast feeding post later and need mommy friend help!
I am excited to hear more about the baby shower details and of course the baby shower. Good Luck with the registries:) I walked into a Babies R’ Us for a baby shower gift and was blown away with all the stuff in there. I had to ask for assistance, since I do not have children and had no idea what a baby needs. I usually go with a car blankie as a gift – never can have to many of those. Happy Thursday!
Thank you! Excited to plan it all out!!! <3
My birthday is April 21st!!!
Those bagels sound amazing!! Uber jealous!
I have got to find those bagels!
SO yummy!
I love a good booty burn. It makes me feel like Beyonce
Love that flavour of Luna bar. The Lemon Coconut Simply Bar is similar, except it is less sweet and a little higher in protein. One of my faves
They make banana bread bagels??? Omgggg i need some…normally i’m a fan of whole wheat, honey oat, or blueberry (all topped with a nut and fruit butter of some kind), but those sound phenomenal! I love the pumpkins in the fall, too
I love the banana bread bagels! Especially with peanut butter and some chocolate chips! Yumm. My mom and I split one last spring every morning while I was home <3
I saw you were contemplating on zapping the Cadbury Creme Eggs at Target… I TOTALLY would have done it! If you have cravings, you have cravings and in my opinion that's a perfect baby shower gift! Haha!
You split, you are such sharing people! I eat one all to myself, haha! They are good!
YES, love those cadbury eggs, well Baby G does, it was ALL him
I love any type of bagel, they’re all so gooood.
Was that a turquoise Camelbak I spied in that picture? I think I must have one! We registered at Target and Babies R Us when I was pregnant with my oldest….both stores have some of the best stuff! My go to bagel is cinnamon swirl, but that banana bread one looks delish.
Its a contigo water bottle, got at target, love!!!
Even thought I am years away from getting married or having kids, I will definitely want to register at Target. I love that place! And I must find those bagels. They sounds delicious!
omg those bagels sound delish!!! I sooo wish I wasn’t allergic to bananas haha pear Chobani is my favorite as of lately
at first I wasn’t a fan, but now I’m totally loving it
haha omgshhh girrlllll can you and I have any more coincidences?! I think my shower will be on the 20th of april since my friends and sister have been working on it without me even knowing it!!!
hehe
Those breast pumps are the best! You will def want a double pump it goes faster and helps ur supply also:) I pumped for my two daughters and used that same brand. They are pricey but well worth the money:)
Great to hear! Thank you!
