I’m seriously a lightweight when it comes to waking up crazy early now. I guess I’m not really expected to have a ton of energy waking up at 4am when I couldn’t fall asleep till midnight, but I passed the heck out after work yesterday! It took everything I had to make myself lunch when I got home and keep my eyes open long enough for a conference call but once I hung up, it was lights out. Or really, zonked out on the couch. At least the 5am shifts are only once a month.
I’ve got some blog reading to catch up on from yesterday, but in case you missed some great posts from last week, I’m here to help!

What’s one of your favorite posts from the past week?
I’ve actually never had a Fig Newton before. I know they were popular snacks growing up, but for some reason just avoided them. Which is kind of surprising since my twin brother was a big fan! I’ll have to pass this recipe along to him 🙂
You have to try them!!
Thanks for sharing the workout, Brittany! I just used it again yesterday. Definitely great for vacation. And I am so not a morning person either!
Of course! Looking forward to trying it out soon 🙂
Aw yeah! Thanks for the link love Brittany, I am simply loving this feature! xoxo
I’m loving it too! xo
WELL THEN. That Manhattan is CERTAINLY everything. As are the baby cabbages! Can’t wait to read the dumbbell article, since I use them a lot when I weight train 🙂
Yes and yes! 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing my workout Brittany! 🙂
Anytime 🙂
Love Suzanne’s art of food tracking series! She’s taken something that’s recently under fire and explained how useful it is to achieving your goals
Agreed, it’s such great info and I’m loving reading the series.
