Hi Ladies!

Just a reminder that boot camp will be this Saturday, November 1st at 10am.  Can you believe it will be November?!  Time is flying by. 

Address Details: click here

My friend and client Jessica will be there with some special treats from her Advocare business.  Never heard of Advocare?  Learn more about Jessica's business and her personal story here. 

For those of you who have been to Mommy's on the Move in the past, you may have met Jessica before.  She is the lovely gal who brought the samples of spark.  Side note: if you have never tried spark, you are missing out.  What's spark you might ask?  It's is a vitamin and amino acid energy supplement that you will never want to live without. Spark is the perfect way to start your day or the extra pick-me-up you might need before a workout. 

We would love for you to join us this Saturday for a great workout followed by some healthy, protein packed treats!  Also, please join me in wishing Jessica the best of luck in her first full Marathon that she will be running this Sunday.  Good luck Jess, you will do great!!

Panera's Fuji Apple Chicken Salad

I have a serious obsession with Panera's Fuji Apple Chicken Salad.  I worked at Panera for 3 years in college and ate this salad multiple times a week, and I am still hooked on it!  I don't know why, but this week it finally occurred to me that I should stop spending $12 on a salad and make it myself at home!  This was seriously the easiest & yummiest week night dinner.  It took about 5 minutes to throw together and it tasted exactly the exact same.  Also, Panera sells all of their salad dressings at the grocery store, yay!  I substituted tomatoes for avocado because my hubby hates everything about tomatoes. 

Ingredients: 

Mixed field greens

Red onions

Pecans

Gorgonzola cheese

Apple chips

Chicken

Avocado

Panera's white balsamic apple vinaigrette

Stretch marks: Nope

Sleep: Good!  I wake up often to use the restroom but I am pretty comfortable at night.    

 

Best moment of this week:  We found out the gender....we are having a baby GIRL!! I seriously can't believe it.  I was 100% positive we were going to have a baby boy.  I could not be more excited.  The last 24 hours have been consumed with online shopping for the nursery, let the decorating begin!  My hubby also felt baby girl kick for the first time while we were on vacation in the Bahamas!  This week was full of highlights. 

Miss anything: Not really.
