				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Well hello Wednesday, you snuck up rather fast this week and I&#8217;m loving it!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I have officially 1 week until my due date. To say my level of excitement and anxiousness is low would be an understatement. I&#8217;m currently impatient and trying to do whatever I can to keep my mind side-tracked and my body busy so that I don&#8217;t think about it. The waiting game is one of the hardest parts of pregnancy and I didn&#8217;t have much of it when I was pregnant with Ava because she arrived early.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS.png"><img class=" size-medium wp-image-5583 aligncenter" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS-300x151.png" alt="WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS" width="300" height="151" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">SOO rather then ramble on about that stuff lets talk about some food. I decided to share my food journal from Tuesday (yesterday).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I woke up at 6am from my internal alarm clock. I came downstairs drank some water and poured myself a little iced coffee. While I started to make my eggs, I snacked on a couple bites of this chocolate chip muffin. I find that a little sugar in the morning helps settle my stomach . (or at least lets pretend that&#8217;s why I ate it)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>BREAKFAST</strong>: I had 2 eggs, sauteed spinach and potatoes. Plus a piece of toast which is not pictured.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0170.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9981" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0170-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0170" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">After breakfast I did some computer/blog work while Marc was still home and then got myself ready for the <strong>YMCA</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I ate a <strong>banana</strong> on the way to the Y.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7810" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_6567-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_6567" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We weren&#8217;t there too long but I did a quick 30 minute cardio workout on the elliptical and some stretching.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>SNACK</strong>: After we left the YMCA I ate a <strong>Cookie Dough</strong> <strong>Larabar.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC01039.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3738" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC01039-300x225.jpg" alt="DSC01039" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Ava and I then took a trip to the library. I promised her we could return some books and get new ones. We usually go there every 2 weeks and she loves it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>LUNCH</strong> I decided to eat some leftovers from my mom&#8217;s cooking on the 4th. I had a <strong>BBQ pulled chicken sandwich with coleslaw and some potato salad</strong>. UMM yum. This meal totally hit the spot and I loved that I didn&#8217;t need to think about what to eat. It was right in front of me when I opened the fridge.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IMG_0549.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10240" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IMG_0549-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0549" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A <strong>peach</strong> somehow made it into my lunch too. My little baby boy LOVES peaches. Can you blame him??</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_64561.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7740" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_64561-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_6456" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Ava was quite tired from all the weekend fun but she wouldn&#8217;t nap. It seemed like something was the matter because she had no appetite. Rather then force her to try to sleep I let her lay on the floor and watch some TV.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>SNACK:</strong> around 2pm I was hungry. I had a doctors appointment as well so I quickly snacked on a <strong>string cheese</strong> while I was in the waiting room.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_7226.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8958" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_7226-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_7226" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">When I got home I had a <strong>bowl of cheerios with milk.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_8373.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8735" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_8373-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_8373" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It hit the spot.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Pretty soon it was time to make dinner. I wasn&#8217;t feeling anything as usual but we needed something so I opened up the freezer to see what we had.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>DINNER</strong>: I made a simple meal of <strong>fish filets, french fries and cucumber slices</strong>. This meal was simple but exactly what my body needed.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IMG_0571.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10262" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IMG_0571-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0571" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I left for Boot Camp around 6pm. I left feeling great but a sweaty mess. I just love my class and the energy everyone brings. I participated in some of the workout, I figured it would only help speed up this labor process right?!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>POST WORKOUT SNACK:</strong> I refueled with a <strong>Quest bar</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/IMG_2584.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5493" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/IMG_2584-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_2584" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I haven&#8217;t had one of these in a very long time but I figured an extra protein boost was what I needed. After my shower I snacked on some <strong>Cherries</strong> with Ava. I was also craving salt<strong> and Cheeze its </strong>looked amazing<strong>!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/IMG_5786.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7323" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/IMG_5786-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_5786" width="300" height="225" /></a><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IMG_0572.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10263" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IMG_0572-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0572" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that was pretty much my night besides chatting with Marc for a little bit before bed. It wasn&#8217;t a bad day of food but not my favorite for sure!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;m super excited it&#8217;s Wednesday and even more excited that I am officially 37 weeks &amp; full term. It feels amazing to say that and I have been waiting a while for this moment. I feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders because this past week of not teaching classes was mentally challenging for me. I felt lost, I didn&#8217;t know how to pass time and I just wanted it to be today so that if I for some reason had the baby everything would be okay.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So here we are and I&#8217;m pumped <img src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS.png"><img class=" size-medium wp-image-5583 aligncenter" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS-300x151.png" alt="WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS" width="300" height="151" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I figured I would share my food journal with you from Monday which is usually an active day for me but this week it was rather slow since I wasn&#8217;t allowed to teach classes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My food choices were still similar but my quantity was a little lower due to my activity level being so low.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I started my morning off a little later then usual and got up at 630am. I immediately headed downstairs to make breakfast. This mama needs to eat ASAP so that nausea didn&#8217;t take over.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I had <strong>2 eggs scrambled with zucchini and potatoes.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0447-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10145" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0447-2-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0447-2" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I loved it but the picture looks terrible.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Ava and I headed to the YMCA so I could do some training. It was weird to head there on a Monday and not be teaching Group Power <img src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="wp-smiley" /> I popped in the class to let them know I was still around but just taking the week off since my doctor didn&#8217;t want me to go into early labor because my body was already progressing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">After training my clients we headed home for a snack.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I had a banana and an avocado toast with egg.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG_9635.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9575" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG_9635-300x241.jpg" alt="IMG_9635" width="300" height="241" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">For lunch I had a leftover <strong>Bailiwick Salad</strong> from Firehouse deli. It was just as good the next day and their grilled chicken is out of this world. I always love salads that I don&#8217;t have to make too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0450-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10143" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0450-2-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0450-2" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I also had a piece of <strong>italian bread</strong> with my salad plus some of these <strong>tortilla chips &amp; a peach.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><del><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0451-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10146" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0451-2-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0451-2" width="300" height="225" /></a><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_64561.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7740" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_64561-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_6456" width="300" height="225" /></a></del></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">For an afternoon snack I felt like a yogurt parfait, are you surprised?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0135.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9963" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0135-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0135" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Dinners have been hard for me to eat lately, I don&#8217;t know why but I guess pregnancy has it&#8217;s weird food issues and this is one of mine. I was so happy when I felt in the mood for steak so I quickly pan fried some <strong>sirloin steak tips with a baked sweet potato.</strong> It was so good except I couldn&#8217;t eat more than 1/2 of my sweet potato, I&#8217;m pretty sure I only wanted the steak!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_0981.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9399" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_0981-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0981" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">An early snack of <strong>peanut butter and toast</strong> made it&#8217;s way into the menu and I think that was due to the fact that I really didn&#8217;t finish a lot of my dinner (I only had one of these 2 pieces of toast)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9917.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9781" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9917-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9917" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I also capped the night with this bowl of <strong>1/2 mint chocolate chip 1/2 cookies n cream ice cream</strong> because I just felt like it <img src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0454-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10144" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0454-2-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0454-2" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> I&#8217;m happy to say that the bowl of ice cream was a great way to end the night, and Cooper even got to lick my bowl after because he lovessss ice cream.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">I officially have 4 weeks left until my due date, 28 days is not a lot of time and I&#8217;m overly excited!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I apologize for being MIA on here lately. To be honest I&#8217;ve been quite tired and any free moment I get, I&#8217;m totally kicking my feet up or closing my eyes. Ava&#8217;s sleep has been all over the place these past 2 weeks and it is catching up with both of us!  I have been sleeping on average about 6 hrs per night which is not enough. My body needs all the rest it can get now before this baby arrives so if she naps, I almost always try to close my eyes myself.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Anyways, I did keep track of my food from Monday. It started off as a pretty solid day of food but then when 5pm struck my love for food turned into hate. I literally opened the fridge 100 times between 5-10pm and nothing jumped out at me. I didn&#8217;t want to eat anything&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS.png"><img class=" size-medium wp-image-5583 aligncenter" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS-300x151.png" alt="WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS" width="300" height="151" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So here&#8217;s my day of eats:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Monday morning started off early with a 6am alarm clock. I was still tired but my day starts early so I needed to get ready.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I opted for a simple<strong> scrambled eggs with spinach and potatoes</strong>.  A little while later I made Marc and Ava breakfast and ate 1/2 a piece of toast because I was still a little hungry.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/IMG_9215.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9215" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/IMG_9215-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9215" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">After teaching Group Power I refueled with a<strong> banana</strong> right after class.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0298.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10069" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0298-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0298" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Once I got home I ate some<strong> Cheerios and cashews</strong>. (I also ate Ava&#8217;s leftover egg not pictured)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_6459.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7663" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_6459-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_6459" width="225" height="300" /></a><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/FullSizeRender1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10094" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/FullSizeRender1-225x300.jpg" alt="FullSizeRender" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Oh and an apple that Ava and I split. The YMCA was giving members Apples so how could we not have one?!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0329-e1465986616315.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10097" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0329-e1465986616315-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_0329" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I headed back to the YMCA to teach my second class around 10:15am. It&#8217;s funny to me that I always leave both classes starving!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Lunch was leftover Thai Food. I had <strong>Chicken with broccoli, carrots, eggplant, zucchini and baby corn with brown rice in a brown sauce</strong>. Simple but delicious!!! I actually wish there was more leftover.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0331.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10098" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0331-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0331" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Peaches</strong> are a daily occurrence these days and I had one with my lunch.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_64561.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7740" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_64561-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_6456" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Around 245 I dove into my afternoon snack. <strong>Yogurt with Berries &amp; Granola</strong>. I love this stuff and it never gets old.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/FullSizeRender-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10066" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/FullSizeRender-2-300x225.jpg" alt="FullSizeRender-2" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We headed to my parents around 3 to play outside, walk Cooper and hang out for a bit. Ava loves going to Grandma &amp; Grandpa&#8217;s house and I do too! She gets to play with different toys and their neighborhood is great for being outside.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We left around 5pm and headed home for dinner. Ava and I were starving. When we got home I fixed her a play of food while I contemplated what to eat myself.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I ate a<strong> side salad</strong> with <strong>romaine, cucumbers, tomatoes &amp; peppers.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG_9636.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9577" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG_9636-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9636" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I had anticipated to eat some leftover chicken cutlet but took one bite and almost threw up. I thought my taste buds were off. I made marc try it and he was skeptical. I wasn&#8217;t sure if it was the dipping sauce or what but I was immediately grossed out. From that point on my dinner became a disaster. I tried BBQ grilled chicken, same issue.. tasted funny.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So I ended up eating <strong>2</strong> <strong>meatballs and tortilla chips</strong>. Somehow I managed to fill my belly a little.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0375.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10100" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0375-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0375" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">(UGLY picture but I ate them cold and with no sauce so I&#8217;m weird)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Around 8pm my belly was hungry and I wasn&#8217;t surprised. The only thing that sound or looked appealing was a grilled cheese so I quickly made a grilled cheese on wheat bread. YUM!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/IMG_9246.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9230" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/IMG_9246-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_9246" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it was simple and perfect in every way.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I love when Marc cuts <strong>watermelon</strong> because it&#8217;s a snack that&#8217;s hydrating, tasty, healthy and I didn&#8217;t have to cut it <img src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="wp-smiley" /> Ava and I stood in the kitchen as Marc was cutting the watermelon and pretty much ate as much as we could!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Around 10 pm I had a <strong>KIND bar</strong> and that wrapped up my night of random eats.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_2346.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5352" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_2346-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_2346" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I am hoping that this love &amp; hate towards food doesn&#8217;t last long. I would much rather love all foods but lately my body dislikes more food then it likes. I almost feel like I&#8217;m back in the first trimester, help!!!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Happy Hump Day!</strong> I officially have 5 weeks left until my due date. 35 days seems like nothing and it will be here before I know it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I am so excited for the ultrasound I have this morning at 10am, but first I need to teach a class and train a client so I will try to be patient for that appointment. I believe this is the last ultrasound I will get until we get to meet our little guy&#8230;. <strong>WOW</strong>!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I figured today I would share my food journal from Monday since it was a little more structured then my meals from yesterday.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">here ya go:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>BREAKFAST: 2 eggs scrambled with zucchini &amp; potatoes</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0297.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10068" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0297-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0297" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>SNACK: banana, square bar, 1/2 chocolate chip muffin and a few bites of Ava&#8217;s leftover Eggs with cheese.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0298.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10069" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0298-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0298" width="300" height="225" /></a> <a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0077.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9906" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0077-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0077" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">sorry I didn&#8217;t take a picture of the muffin, but that&#8217;s because Ava had pretty much destroyed it with her hands!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>LUNCH: Salad with mixed greens, roasted peppers, chickpeas, grilled chicken, sundried tomatoes, &amp; balsamic dressing. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0284.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10053" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0284-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0284" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">I realized this salad doesn&#8217;t show the toppings or give this meal any justice. It was delicious and I&#8217;m a fan of all the ingredients!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Plus some Plantain chips </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/FullSizeRender.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10067" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/FullSizeRender-300x225.jpg" alt="FullSizeRender" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">This is the first time this pregnancy I ate plantain chips and I ate several handfuls!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>SNACK: Yogurt with Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries &amp; granola </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/FullSizeRender-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10066" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/FullSizeRender-2-300x225.jpg" alt="FullSizeRender-2" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">This is my go to pregnancy snack and I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s going anywhere, I love it!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>DINNER: Pasta with Meatballs and Zoodles</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0306.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10070" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_0306-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0306" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Dinner was delicious, these were not my mama&#8217;s meatballs but I still loved it!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>SNACK: Tortilla chips with avocado </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/IMG_9248.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9231" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/IMG_9248-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_9248" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>plus a KIND Bar at 10pm when my stomach was still rumbling!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_2346.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5352" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_2346-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_2346" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This day of food was pretty satisfying and I went to bed tired but my belly was happy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I am exhausted today, I got up to pee 3x last night which is unusual and Ava woke us up twice because she doesn&#8217;t feel good. I feel like I barely slept but now I have to go teach Group Power. Wish me luck!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What&#8217;s something delicious you ate this week?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Do you like deciding what meals you eat or do you wish someone did it for you?</strong></span> Personally I would love for someone to make all my food decisions and cook for me!!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Monday was a busy, hectic, exciting, exhausting, all in all CRAZY day for this pregnant lady. I&#8217;m officially 33 weeks and pregnancy exhaustion is setting in&#8230;. or is it? I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s 3rd trimester symptoms or exercise, or chasing my monkey toddler around all day but something got me on Monday and my 3pm my body was like whatttt is going on?!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I figured I would share <strong>my food journal with you from Monday</strong> because it was on the fly eating and I honestly had a hard time keeping up with my calorie burn. It&#8217;s usually so easy to over eat but on this day I couldn&#8217;t keep up.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My day started out early. I woke up at 6am and I knew I had to be organized and ready to teach so I quickly got my bag packed and my breakfast made.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>2 eggs, sautéed spinach &amp; pan fried potatoes.</strong> (thank goodness for leftover potatoes) I also had a few sips of iced coffee.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0170.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9981" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0170-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0170" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I was out the door at 7:05 am to teach Group Power. I had to end class a few minutes early to head to an ultrasound so I tried to cram as much of the workout as I could in 52 minutes. We did great and boy was I sweaty and tired!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I rushed to my Doctors appointment and scarfed down a <strong>banana and this SQUARE BAR</strong> in the car.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0077.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9906" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0077-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0077" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I pretty much didn&#8217;t taste either one but I know they were good!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I was so happy to hear that the baby was GREAT <img src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" /> It was even better to see my little guy who was sucking his thumb and covering his face. I was sad we couldn&#8217;t get a decent picture but that&#8217;s not what we were there for. We wanted to know that he was making proper gains and continuing to grow strong which he was. (I&#8217;ll give you a better update tomorrow!)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">After my appointment I came home to pick Ava up and head back to the YMCA for class #2.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I was tired after this class and all Ava wanted to do was run around and roll around the floor because I wanted to leave and she didn&#8217;t. I had to bribe her to get her close to the garage by saying we can go look at the pool through the window. Thank goodness for little tricks.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We got home and I shoveled down this salad from <a href="http://www.firehsedeli.com"><strong>Firehouse deli!</strong></a>! UMMM amazing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9866.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9747" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9866-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9866" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I had the <strong>Bailiwick Salad</strong> had <strong>mixed greens, chicken, roasted red peppers, artichokes and balsamic dressing.</strong> My taste buds were happy and so was my belly. I also had a piece of avocado toast for some extra calories &amp; healthy fats.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0174.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9980" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0174-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0174" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">After lunch Ava turned into a monster. I mean this girl was climbing things she shouldn&#8217;t have been, throwing toys, spilling water, slamming doors, CLIMBING OUT OF HER CRIB basically not following any rules. I stayed calm and tried to distract her but she would pull away from me, moan, kick, yell, and tell me no. I was too tired to argue so I put her in the stroller and took Cooper for a walk.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The last thing i wanted to do was move my legs, all i wanted to do was sit on the couch but I knew she would be strapped in and fine. She drank some milk and ate a couple oatmeal cookies and she seemed happy as could be. We strolled and I let Cooper smell every piece of grass out there, because I really didn&#8217;t feel like walking. Ava smiled and waved at the mailman and all was good.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We got home and the chaos returned. I snacked on an <strong>orange</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_7585.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9329" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_7585-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_7585" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It was juicy and amazing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Finally I decided to turn the TV on and we had some quiet time which turned into a nap. WOOHOO. I carried Ava upstairs and I finally got to pick my feet up for a second.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I snacked on this <strong>RAWXSIE Bar.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0182.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9983" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0182-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0182" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">UMM delicious and satisfying. I love that it&#8217;s a <strong>CLEAN TREAT</strong> and I get vitamins and healthy fats.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_9543.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9473" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_9543-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_9543" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I also snacked on a bunch of these smoky chili &amp; lime <strong>chickpeas</strong>. I&#8217;m loving the Good Bean snacks this week!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I probably should&#8217;ve napped at this point but I wasn&#8217;t relaxed so I did some computer work.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Once Ava woke up we ran to the store to grab some groceries for dinner. When we got home I decided to eat leftovers..</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0188.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9982" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0188-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0188" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>BBQ Chicken, Sweet Potatoes &amp; Roasted Brussel Sprouts.</strong> Marc had ordered a meatball parm sandwich and I probably should&#8217;ve got myself one but to be honest I really wasn&#8217;t feeling food so I didn&#8217;t want to waste money.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0190.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9984" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0190-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0190" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My appetite was pretty strong around 8:15pm and made myself a <strong>Yogurt bowl with raspberries and granola</strong>. It hit the spot.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Again I was hungry at 9:30&#8230; this is getting old guys, at this point I&#8217;m like just fill this belly up. I had 1/2 a piece of <strong>cheese</strong> <strong>pizza</strong>. Sorry I didn&#8217;t snap a pic but it was eaten cold right out of the fridge. My body needed more carbs!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This was a physically and mentally exhausting day but I&#8217;m not gonna lie the food was good <img src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="wp-smiley" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS.png"><img class=" size-medium wp-image-5583 aligncenter" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS-300x151.png" alt="WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS" width="300" height="151" /></a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Hey there!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It&#8217;s Wednesday and I always look forward to this day. It&#8217;s the middle of the week, the weekend is closer and I get to share some food with you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS.png"><img class=" size-medium wp-image-5583 aligncenter" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS-300x151.png" alt="WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS" width="300" height="151" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Here is my food journal from Monday!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I am happy to say that Monday I woke up ready to tackle the day.  I was feeling more energized then I had been the past few Mondays! I had a large glass of water and some decaf Iced coffee to start my day.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8898" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_8637-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_8637" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Breakfast was whipped up quickly with a leftover <strong>baked potato</strong> that I sliced and pan fried, then <strong>scrambled some eggs &amp; Spinach</strong>. (this picture is recycled.. I eat this meal a lot)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> After Group Power I was a sweaty mess, hungry, &amp; fatigued. Maybe I pushed a little too hard???</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I quickly ate an under ripe banana, it wasn&#8217;t the best but I needed some food asap. I picked Ava up from the childcare and we went home for a quick snack.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0129.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9962" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0129-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0129" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I made a piece of <strong>toast</strong> and topped it with <strong>egg whites &amp; some bacon</strong>. This was AMAZING and simple. Have I told you that I love bacon??????? I believe since I became pregnant we have had bacon just about every other week. I probably should just buy more then one package at a time because I feel like I&#8217;m always buying it! I also ate about 4 handfuls of Ava&#8217;s plain <strong>cheerios</strong>. I was feeling the carbs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We headed back to the YMCA for my second class. It was another sweaty one and I was surprised at how tired my body was after!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Again, I went home starving&#8230;. I quickly ate a piece of this <strong>chicken</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_9486-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9967" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_9486-1-300x159.jpg" alt="IMG_9486 (1)" width="300" height="159" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Had this <strong>string cheese</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0130.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9961" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0130-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_0130" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">which the last 3 bites got stolen from Ava..</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I also had a bowl of <strong>carrots, cucumbers and peppers</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_9276.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9264" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_9276-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9276" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Plus some smoky chili &amp; lime chickpeas</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_9543.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9473" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_9543-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_9543" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This was the most random broken up lunch I have had in a long time. Food really isn&#8217;t appealing to me so I think that&#8217;s why I chose random items from the fridge/pantry and my hunger which forced me to eat easily accessible items!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My body was pretty wiped like I said earlier and when Ava napped so did I. So much for waking up energized right?? I think 3rd trimester pregnancy fatigue has taken over.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I woke up starving and thirsty. I quickly made a <strong>yogurt bowl with berries &amp; granola</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0135.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9963" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0135-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0135" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It was delicious and I ate it in practically 3 bites.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We played outside for a bit while the sun was shining and then I decided to make some dinner.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">aI think a craving for red meat struck because I was feeling a Beef Chili and it totally hit the spot. This <strong>bowl had rice, beef, pinto beans, tomatoes, cheese &amp; avocado</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0133-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9959" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0133-1-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0133 (1)" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I scooped it into some romaine lettuce wraps and also enjoyed a few too many <strong>tortilla chips. </strong>This dinner left me feeling full and satisfied.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Marc and I took Cooper to the Dog Park while Ava went to run errands with my mom. It was nice to give Cooper some one on one attention!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The rest of the evening was spent cleaning up the house and organizing for the next day. I didn&#8217;t really have an appetite for a snack but I ate some <strong>strawberries</strong> out of the fridge</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG_8826.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9709" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG_8826-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_8826" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">plus <strong>2 small scoops of peanut butter.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/IMG_4794.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7957" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/IMG_4794-300x300.jpg" alt="IMG_4794" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I didn&#8217;t want to go to bed without eating something because I knew I would wake up in the middle of the night hungry!!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am officially 29 weeks pregnant and starting to be less interested in food. How is that possible???? I literally open the fridge a million times a day and nothing jumps out at me. My cravings are minimal and I can&#8217;t decide what to eat this past week.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS.png"><img class=" size-medium wp-image-5583 aligncenter" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS-300x151.png" alt="WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS" width="300" height="151" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I think you will understand what I&#8217;m talking about through my food choices from Monday. They are RANDOM and weird to me but I thought I would share anyways.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;m linking up with the <strong>What I ate Wednesday</strong> <strong><a href="http://www.peasandcrayons.com">Crew</a> over on <a href="http://thebigmansworld.com">Arman&#8217;s</a> Blog today</strong> to share my food journal with you from Monday.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">When my alarm went off I wanted to sleep longer. Usually I pop right up but Monday I was struggling. Probably because my crazy dog woke up at 240am to go out and pee but then refused to come inside and instead howled at a ball that was in the brooke behind our house. Needless to say I chased him around the yard for 5 minutes and basically did sprints until I managed to grab him and pull him in the house!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I wasn&#8217;t happy that I was up for an hour in the middle of the night.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9999.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9855" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9999-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_9999" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Sorry for the rambles but it threw my sleep off. At least she smiled at breakfast!! But then again who doesn&#8217;t smile for pancakes and bacon&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Iced coffee was necessary first thing along with a LARGE glass of water.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG_9633.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9578" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG_9633-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9633" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I ate my usual<strong> eggs, sautéed spinach with potatoes</strong>. It works for me on Mondays.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">After group power I was STARVINGGGG. Probably because I dripped sweat for the entire hour of class. I refueled with a <strong>banana</strong> and an <strong>Oatmega</strong> bar and a few strawberries.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/IMG_7725.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8332" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/IMG_7725-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_7725" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Lunch was all about combining leftovers. I had <strong>1/2 of this sandwich.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_0003.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9852" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_0003-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_0003" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Some salad and a piece of chicken marsala.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9581.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9856" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9581-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9581" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Plus a piece of <strong>toast with peanut butter.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9917.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9781" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9917-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9917" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Talk about random.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">After doing computer work, blog stuff and paying bills I needed a snack around 3pm. To be honest I wasn&#8217;t in the mood for anything. Nothing looked appealing in the fridge so I chose a<strong> yogurt parfait</strong>. It&#8217;s always satisfying and filling.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG_9741.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9646" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG_9741-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9741" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Ava and I took Cooper for a long 25 minute walk, it was beautiful out and he needs the exercise daily. When I got home I didn&#8217;t really want to make dinner but Marc asked for meatballs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So I made some <strong>turkey meatballs with pasta and sauce</strong>. Plus some <strong>brussel sprouts</strong> on the side. It was actually really good!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_0017.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9853" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_0017-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0017" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">At around 7:00pm my body had enough and I sat down on the couch. I literally didn&#8217;t want to get up but I did so that I could put Ava to bed and clean up the messy house.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I was craving chocolate but didn&#8217;t want to give in to any unhealthy treats so I whipped up some <strong>oatmeal</strong> and threw a 1/2 scoop of shakeology and some peanut butter in it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_0021.jpg"><img class=" size-medium wp-image-9854 alignnone" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_0021-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0021" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I was expecting it to be amazing but I think I put too much shakeology and not enough oats and peanut butter. I will definitely be making it again and tweaking my recipe.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Whats something yummy you ate this week?</strong></span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">I am officially in my 3rd and final trimester. How did that happen?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;m super excited that I am closer to meet this little baby boy but part of me feels like I have so much I want to accomplish before he arrives. My To-Do list has gotten smaller but time is speeding up&#8230; ahhh.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS.png"><img class=" size-medium wp-image-5583 aligncenter" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS-300x151.png" alt="WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS" width="300" height="151" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Anyways, It&#8217;s Wednesday which is awesome and I&#8217;m linking up with the <strong>What I ate Wednesday</strong> <strong><a href="http://www.peasandcrayons.com">Crew</a> over on <a href="http://www.sprint2thetable.com">Laura&#8217;s</a> Blog today</strong> to share my food journal with you from Monday.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Mondays are always busy for me. I rarely have time to sit down until Ava naps around 1:30 and by then, this mama can&#8217;t wait to put her feet up for a bit.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My morning started off with my usual <strong>2 eggs, spinach with olive oil &amp; potatoes.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_8637.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8898" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_8637-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_8637" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I taught Group Power at 730am and for some reason my body was spent at the end. I didn&#8217;t go heavier in weights but I was sweaty and my muscles were wiped.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I refueled with a <strong>banana &amp; avocado toast with scrambled eggs &amp; a bite of a leftover quest bar</strong> (sad there wasn&#8217;t more)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/IMG_6568.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8169" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/IMG_6568-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_6568" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_8642.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8899" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_8642-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_8642" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Ava and I headed back to the YMCA around 10:15 for me second class. This girl was full of energy and basically ran in the building. She&#8217;s getting harder to keep up with these days.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">After my class we headed home and decided to eat some lunch on our front porch.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9976.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9827" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9976-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_9976" width="225" height="300" /></a> <a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9974.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9825" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9974-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_9974" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It was beautiful out. I had 2 lovely lunch guests and we thoroughly enjoyed eating outside and getting some fresh air.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I ate a <strong>BBQ Chicken salad</strong> with <em>romaine, cucumbers, tomatoes, broccoli slaw &amp; honey mustard dressing</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9972.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9826" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9972-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9972" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This salad is amazing and I&#8217;m slightly obsessed with this honey mustard dressing by bolthouse farms. I have had this salad 3 times in the last week!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Salads are working so well for me right now and if I&#8217;m craving any healthy food I&#8217;m going with it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/IMG_7585.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8282" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/IMG_7585-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_7585" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I also had an <strong>orange</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I have a little story about that orange&#8230;.. I pulled an orange out of the fridge and I swear I put it on the table. I&#8217;m pretty sure Ava hid it on me and I couldn&#8217;t find it anywhere. Luckily we had more in the fridge and I ended up finding it 6 hours later behind our radiator in the kitchen!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My afternoon snack came on the earlier side. Probably because salads are temporarily filling if you ask me and there weren&#8217;t any carbs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I decided to have a bowl of <strong>oatmeal</strong> which I haven&#8217;t had in a while. I had it with a scoop of <strong>peanut butter and strawberries</strong> on top.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/IMG_8135.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8562" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/IMG_8135-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_8135" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Once Ava was up from her nap we headed outside to play and to walk Cooper. The weather was AMAZING and couldn&#8217;t have been more perfect.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Dinner was a simple fast meal. <strong>Pesto baked salmon, baked sweet potatoes, &amp; asparagus. </strong>I ate a ton of asparagus before I took this picture!! oops.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9978.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9823" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9978-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9978" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Even though this picture isn&#8217;t pretty it was delicious and we all agreed the salmon was perfect.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Around 7pm I crashed. My body said no more playing, walking, exercising, and I sat myself on the couch. I&#8217;m thankful that Marc can take over when I&#8217;m really tired. My body can only go so far these days and I&#8217;m OK with that.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I watched a little bit of random TV and snacked on a <strong>greek yogurt with berries and granola plus some cheerios</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9979.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9828" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9979-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9979" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;ve been trying to stay away from granola when it comes to my yogurts but it&#8217;s so good I can&#8217;t stop!!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Your turn: What&#8217;s something yummy you ate this week?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Are you into salads right now?</strong></span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank goodness this week is going fast. Last week was a long one and I&#8217;m happy this one is on the speedy side.</p>
<p>I want to throw a couple fist pumps in the air for warmer weather. Do you feel me or what???</p>
<p>I know I&#8217;m random but that&#8217;s me&#8230; now since it&#8217;s Wednesday lets get into the food talk.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS.png"><img class=" size-medium wp-image-5583 aligncenter" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS-300x151.png" alt="WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS" width="300" height="151" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;m linking up with the <strong>What I ate Wednesday</strong> <strong><a href="http://www.peasandcrayons.com">Crew</a> over on <a href="http://thebigmansworld.com">Arman&#8217;s</a> Blog today</strong> to share my food journal with you from Monday.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">People make the comment a lot about eating for 2 when you are pregnant and that&#8217;s not really the case. You only need about an extra 300 calories a day but let me tell you some days I do feel like I am eating for 2 and my appetite has been increasing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">On Monday I woke up at 5:45am for 2 reasons. 1. My body knew I had to get going and ready to teach our new Group Power workout and 2. I had to pee.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I woke up a little tired but chugged some water and sipped on a little bit of coffee as I whipped together breakfast.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9912.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9775" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9912-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9912" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>2 eggs, sautéed spinach with olive oil &amp; potatoes</strong>. This is my regular simple healthy &amp; filling breakfast.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I headed to the YMCA around 7am to teach GROUP POWER. It was an awesome workout and I&#8217;m sure every inch of my body will feel it tomorrow.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9913.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9778" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9913-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_9913" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I refueled with a <strong>banana and a chocolate shakeology </strong>which is hard to see in this picture.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/IMG_6296.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7609" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/IMG_6296-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_6296" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and some random <strong>the</strong> <strong>Good Bean Sea Salt chickpeas</strong>. Ava was eating them and she made them sound good!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We headed back to the Y for my second class. I got a good sweat and I left the class STARVING. I said it to Ava on the car ride home and she said Mommy are you starving and I said yesssssss. She&#8217;s too funny.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I quickly came home to heat up some leftovers.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9915.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9774" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9915-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9915" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Chicken Marsala, roasted potatoes, carrots &amp; broccoli.</strong> I wish I could have had seconds but there was none left.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I also ate this delicious <strong>orange.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_7585.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9329" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_7585-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_7585" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;m on an orange kick and I feel like my day is not complete without one. Costco sells them in a giant box so it will last me a couple weeks!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My metabolism must&#8217;ve been kicked in high gear because my hunger came a lot quicker then it normally does. Around 2:15 I needed a snack.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I opted for a<strong> peanut butter sandwich</strong>. I needed something that would fill me up for a while.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9918.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9782" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9918-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9918" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In the late afternoon we went for a long walk with Cooper. As much as my body didn&#8217;t want to move, I knew he needed the exercise so we made it happen. I literally was spent after the walk but it was time to cook dinner.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I decided to make a simple lean beef taco salad. We topped our <strong>salad with tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, salsa, ground beef &amp; guacamole</strong>. It was so delicious. I also had tortilla chips with this and a second serving <img src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9921.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9780" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9921-300x239.jpg" alt="IMG_9921" width="300" height="239" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Because this day needed another meal I snacked on a <strong>yogurt with mixed berries &amp; granola</strong> while Marc and I watched the episode of Scandal from last Thursday.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9922.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9779" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9922-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9922" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">WOW it was a good one. If you haven&#8217;t seen the show I definitely recommend you watch it on Netflix. This season has been awesome.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Your turn: What&#8217;s something delicious you have eaten this week? </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What is your favorite night time snack?</strong></span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who doesn&#8217;t love to talk about food? I mean we think about food quite a bit so that means we should talk about it right?</p>
<p>I had no food game plan going into Monday but it turned out to be a good day of eats in my book.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS.png"><img class=" size-medium wp-image-5583 aligncenter" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS-300x151.png" alt="WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS" width="300" height="151" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;m linking up with the <strong>What I ate Wednesday</strong> <strong><a href="http://www.peasandcrayons.com">Crew</a> over on <a href="http://www.sprint2thetable.com">Laura&#8217;s</a> Blog today</strong> to share my food journal with you from Monday.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Breakfast</strong>: 2 Eggs with Peppers &amp; Potatoes</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_8536.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8839" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_8536-300x224.jpg" alt="IMG_8536" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This is a typical breakfast for me. I usually eat some sort of veggie with eggs and potatoes daily. It works, it&#8217;s easy, and I am always satisfied.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">   <a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_8642.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8899" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_8642-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_8642" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Snack</strong>: Toast with avocado &amp; Egg and a bowl of plain cheerios and milk</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This was like 2 snacks but after a tough Group Power workout my body needed some good fuel. My body craved milk so I went with it and I was really loving the cheerios. Thanks Ava for sharing!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Lunch</strong>: Salad with mixed greens, roasted red peppers, artichokes, grilled chicken &amp; balsamic dressing</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_8841.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9335" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_8841-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_8841" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My dad had watched Ava for me while I taught my second fitness class. She has a cold and it was best to keep her home. He went to Firehouse Deli and bought me my favorite salad. YUMMM.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Ava and I also split an orange. It was a juicy one and I&#8217;m really digging the citrus these days.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_7585.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9329" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_7585-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_7585" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Snack</strong>: Yogurt parfait.. greek yogurt, strawberries &amp; granola</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG_9741.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9646" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG_9741-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9741" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Ava took a nap and I did computer &amp; blog work in the afternoon. This snack is pretty much routine for me now and I just mix up the fruit depending on what we have.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Dinner</strong>: Turkey Chili with Brown Rice</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_9327.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9343" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_9327-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_9327" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I wasn&#8217;t sure if I was feeling chili or not but it was a good choice. All of us gobbled up our bowls and of course left room for some dessert.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Dessert</strong>: Carvel Ice Cream Cake</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9876.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9749" src="http://thefitskool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_9876-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_9876" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Monday was my younger brother&#8217;s birthday so my family came to our house for dessert since Ava wasn&#8217;t feeling well. I&#8217;m so thankful for Ice cream cake and crunchies. I didn&#8217;t snap a picture because I was too excited to eat it. It was such a TREAT!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What&#8217;s something yummy you ate this week?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Do you like carvel cakes?</strong></span></p>
