daily 4 am insomniac breakfast (#3)

back for another 4 am breakfast cause i’m enjoying doing this every morning! today was horrid - went to bed at 10 pm, then woke up at 12:30 am and that’s it. i hate it 😩 ANYWAYSSS, here’s what im having this morning (love that everything is fucking beige and brown LMAOOO, on a napkin because i’m classy):

iced coffee with a splash of slate protein shake and a lil cold foam

two forkfuls of goodles parmesan mac & cheese

white choc chips & a few mini marshmallows

a few slim golden oreos

two spoons of coffee & donuts ice cream

and a hi-chew (didn’t end up eating the crackers cause i didn’t want them anymore lol)

okkkk see you in 24 hours for another one unless my body lets me get a little more rest, but doubtful. happy hump day 😛

what age did you feel comfortable traveling or road tripping with your pup?

I’m hoping to take my golden (currently 15ish weeks, but i’ve had him for about 2 weeks) with me on a small trip to VT (so only a 5 1/2 hour drive) for a few days possibly in october or november!!

i already know to wait for all his shots to go into effect (which will be about mid september), then also plan to wait until he has a little more obedience training (he’ll complete the first puppy program at the end of september), BUT is there a certain age you felt comfortable traveling with your pup? or did you mostly go based off vibes and how they were doing at the time? if you did travel before you felt they were ready, did you bring them to a puppy hotel/boarding and what did you make sure to look for with the boarding service?

thank you all in advance 🤍

frozen yogurt mango coconut clusters for when you want a sweet treat!!

takes only a few minutes and is the perfect high protein sweet treat (bonus points for being a cold dessert for when i come in from the heat) ✨

frozen mango
greek yogurt (or whatever you prefer, can sub vegan)
maple syrup to sweeten
vanilla bean paste (if using a plain yogurt)
white chocolate chips
a little coconut oil
shredded coconut to top

just chop your frozen mango into smaller chunks, then add greek yogurt (just enough for it to hold its shape). spoon onto a sheet of parchment paper and freeze for maybe an hour or so, then melt down your white chocolate chips in the microwave with a touch of coconut oil. dip your clusters, sprinkle a little shredded coconut, and enjoy 🥭🤍

fear of liquid weight…

per title: any tips to get over this??

backstory (i’ll try to keep it short): i recently went through a period of water retention from consuming an insane amount of SF crap and then also increasing my movement bc i got a dog. during that time, i was SO SO stressed about my weight cause it would not budge no matter what so my brain immediately said >!limit your liquids of course!!<but it’s been a little bit and ive finally shed it since quitting the SF candies and also just sticking with my usual steps without overdoing it. so even though im “back on track” or whatever that means, i’m stuck in the limiting mindset and find that i get stressed about drinking anything past a certain time.

i am also not necessarily in recovery, but sometimes i get thirsty in the evening and would like to have a little sip without being overly stressed. I KNOWWW logically that i will just pee it out, but obviously my brain isn’t fully there so that’s still not enough for me.

thank you in advance 🤍

first world problems…

i can’t fit the last of my protein bars in my drawer 😭😭 this should be a sign to STOP BUYING THEM!! but can’t stop, won’t stop 😌

funfetti tiramisu recipe!!

made it for my birthday because non-traditional birthday cakes HIT HARD!! here’s the recipe:

birthday cake cream: 360 ml heavy whipping cream COLD, 225 grams a little below room temp mascarpone, 65 grams granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp cake batter extract, 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste

birthday cake coffee soaked ladyfingers: 1 cup of strongly brewed coffee or espresso, 1 cup of “funfetti” milk (milk with 1/4 tsp cake batter extract & 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste) + 1 package of ladyfingers

very finely crushed dried strawberries (into a powder) and lots of sprinkles for decorating and assembly (unmeasured, just go with the flow)

to make, add the whipping cream to a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed with your mixer until soft peaks, then slowly add sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until stiff peaks. add mascarpone cheese and fold in until combined. Set aside.

lightly “soak” your ladyfingers quickly in the birthday cake espresso, then lay them in a single layer on the bottom of an 8×8'' or similar size pan. 

smooth half of the mascarpone mixture over the top, add some sprinkles, then another layer of dipped lady fingers, then smooth remaining mascarpone cream over the top before you refrigerate for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight! the next day, dust (with a fine mesh strainer) with the dried strawberries and more sprinkles!! ENJOY 🥳
