Whew, was I tired yesterday. I’m hoping it’s a fluke and that my remaining 8 weeks of pregnancy won’t have me this drained. Usually when I’m sleepy I eat a whole lot, but yesterday after lunch, I never really got hungry again…
Breakfast
Breakfast was the delicious Greek omelet I featured yesterday with a cup of (decaf) coffee with cream. Love this mug- it reminds me of how fun Christmas was last year!
*Fun fact: For coffee to hit ‘decaf’ standards, it must reduce it’s caffeine content by 97.5%, meaning that each cup of decaf coffee only has 2-4 mg of caffeine in it.
I also snacked on 1/2 a wheat deli thin with natural peanut butter and chia seeds. Please disregard the odd focus- I’m learning how to use a new lens!

Lunch
Mid-morning, I hit the gym. I’m getting more and more stares nowadays… I wonder why…
Since I missed out on a morning snack, I was ready to chow down when I got home, so I started with a simple salad of spinach, romaine, tomato, onion and kalamata olives. Topped with Newman’s Own Light Balsamic. I’m obsessed with that dressing.
We had leftover pizza dough in the fridge from the weekend, so I tore off a chunk and made myself a personal pan pizza! Whole wheat dough, pizza sauce, diced peppers, onions and mushroom, fresh mozzarella and half of a veggie sausage, which I got to try out for free, thanks to some free coupons I got from Liz!

Yesterday afternoon I created a masterpiece in the kitchen! For the first time I made up my own cookie recipe from scratch and they were AMAZING! I can’t wait to share this recipe for these huge, delicious cookies!

Dinner
I never really got too hungry again, what a magical cookie ;), so I snacked through the evening on a tomato and basil salad with balsamic vinegar…
A few Pretzel Crisp crumbs with homemade hummus…
And a whole fruit bar for dessert. OK, these have to have added sugar because it was so sweet!

Anything else I should include in tomorrow’s prego update?
Kristin @ eat healthy. be happy. live well says
Congrats on making your first cookie recipe from scratch!!! I love making up new cookie recipes 🙂 I will be sharing one very soon because they were little puffy pillows of heaven honestly!!!
I’d love to hear about the workout you did at the gym!
Donna @ Life of a Happy Blonde says
I’m excited to see the nursery!!!
That greek omelette looks like perfection and i could totally go for a fruit bar right now
Love the gym picture, you are so cute and all belly 🙂
Jen says
Ooooh I can’t wait to hear your cookie recipe! I’ve only ever created my own muffin recipes and I’m always a little off!
That pizza looks so yummy! Those fruit bars were all I wanted a few weeks ago but now I find them too sweet, too.
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
I’m glad your cookie recipe turned out!
You are such a cute pregnant lady 🙂
Chelsey @ Chew with Your Mouth Open says
Fruit bars are my FAVORITE!!
Samantha @ Health, Happiness & Skinny Jeans says
I love that you still go to the gym! You’re baby is very lucky to have such a healthy mom!!
Brittany says
Aw, thank you! I’m trying, and some days that kind of encouragement really helps me make it through 🙂
Rachel says
Ooh, can’t wait til you share your cookie recipe! You are an awesome mama-to-be to still be logging time at the gym.
One thing that would interest me for your blog tomorrow is your thoughts on natural childbirth vs epidural. I know it’s a personal thing so I understand if you’d rather not discuss it. I just know that it will be something I struggle with when I’m pregnant, and I would love to hear your perspective on it as a healthy living blogger.
Brittany says
Oh, great topic suggestion! I will definitely have to do a blog post with my thoughts on the subject and what I plan to do.
Sarah says
Hmm..being a lover of lists and planning, I’d love to read what’s on your to-do list before Baby comes.
Brittany says
Great idea! I’ve been meaning to make a master to-do list, so what better motivation than to make one for a post!
Kelli H (Made in Sonoma) says
I like Sarah’s idea above me!
I can’t wait to see the nursery and also that cookie recipe. 🙂
Allison @ PickyEatingRD says
Look at how cute you are in your gym attire! I really hope I look as cute as you when I am pregnant. Can’t wait to see pics of the nursery!
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says
Your bump is so cute! [And so are those cookies…]
Caree @ Fit-Mama says
you look amazing!!!
Susan @ Real Life Travels says
Can I taste test those cookies … Bring me one if we go to lunch tomorrow 🙂
Christina says
Do you have a favorite place to buy maternity work-out clothes? I’m going to need some in the next month or so!
Brittany says
I wish I had a great suggestion. I bought a few items at Destination Maternity because they were in the sale section. I have a pair of cotton shorts that I like, and strongly encourage moms-to-be to get a pair of maternity yoga pants because I LOVE mine. Also, I didn’t think I’d need many tops, and wish I would have bought a couple more because they really come in handy.
Congrats to you on needing some maternity work out wear 😉
Liz @ IHeartVegetables says
Yay! I’m glad you got to try some of the lightlife products! I hope you liked the sausage 🙂
Sophie says
Wow I’m always so impressed when people come up with their own baking recipes, I can’t wait to try yours out!
You look fantastic by the way 🙂
I’m a new(ish) reader and I’m really enjoying checking out your blog!
Brittany says
Hi Sophie! Thanks for being a reader! I can’t wait to post these cookies… they were so yummy 🙂
kristi (sweet cheeks) says
That cookie looks amazing! I can’t wait for the recipe!
Maria says
Baking such a crazy science that drives me batty, so I bow down for you for attempting it without a recipe.
Oh and for hitting the gym at this stage of pregnancy! You look fabulous!
Brooke @ Veggie Table says
Cookies look delicious!! Can’t wait for the nursery pics and update!
Michele says
hello from one charlotte blogger to another! 🙂 Just found your blog through another and thought i’d say hi. congrats on your pregnancy !
Jenn L @ Peas and Crayons says
HAPPY WIAW MOMMY TO BE!!!!!!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Cant wait for the cookie recipe 🙂
blackhuff says
I can only imagine the giggle you get from everyone who stares at you 🙂
I see your wedding ring still fits on your finger – I assume you’re not carrying around too much water – I too wore my wedding ring right through both pregnancies 🙂
Presley (Run Pretty) says
I have to admit, I stare at the pregnant gym goers… but in a totally “I want to be like you some day” way! Does that make it less creepy and awkward?
Tiff @ Love, Sweat, and Beers says
Totally want that pizza… now
