Good morning and happy, happy Friday!
I’m ready for the weekend!
I didn’t get a chance to pop in and blog again yesterday because it was a go, go, go kind of day.
It was also a two shower kind of day! Thanks to the hot Florida weather, I ended up looking like quite the sweaty mess after I taught water fitness outside.
And yes, I intentionally wear white or black when I teach outside because it doesn’t make the sweat quite as obvious.
I usually have a window of downtime at work to check in and blog, but my breaks yesterday were filled with research. I met up with my LiveSTRONG group for the second time last night and wanted to put together a reference document for them to keep with recommended stretches and exercises for large lower body muscle groups. We also discussed muscle soreness, deep breathing and rate of perceived exertion.
I was more than ready to crash in bed when I got home a little after 9 p.m.
Today my work day doesn’t start until 10 a.m., so I am planning to head to the gym for a workout after this blog post is published and shower there before things get rolling.
Breakfast
Breakfast this morning may look familiar.
Another egg white and oatmeal protein pancake!
Plus a small bowl of vanilla Chex cereal with almond milk.
Whenever I eat cereal, I always find myself reading the sides and back of the box and this morning I noticed a recipe for vanilla muddy buddies (aka puppy chow) on the side of the vanilla Chex box.
Yum!
I also think the vanilla Chex cereal would taste pretty amazing in my pumpkin spice puppy chow.
And now I’m craving puppy chow before 8 a.m.!
Question of the Morning
- What is one random craving you’ve experienced this week?

Mmm pumpkin spice puppy chow…and it’s only 5 AM here. That can’t be good.
Enjoy your workout this morning, it must be nice to have a little bit of extra sleep in time.
I’m pretty sure I’m craving puppy chow 24 hours a day! That stuff is by FAR my favorite snack/dessert/treat ever. Like EVER. Love it. Can you tell?
One random craving this week? ONE? I’ve had SEVERAL! From Lemon Meringue Pie, to Pizza, to pasta, chocolate and all things “bad” really! After being good for sooooo long and eating too clean/healthy, I’ve had a few days of a “break” which I’ll try and end by tomorrow 😉 See, I’m not even waiting for Monday, hehehe
Have an awesome fun weekend with YOUR craving! 😉
Puppy chow is delicious! I discovered that Starbucks has hot chocolate mix you can buy at Target and I have been craving some with marshmallows all week!
I love the idea of using vanilla Chex cereal to make puppy chow…that would pretty much be amazing!
Cute tank!! I’ve been craving roasted asparagus lately, so good and you don’t even have to add anything to it.
Ahh nothing better than craving sweets before 8:00 am! Love that tank top you are wearing – its’ hard to find long loose tank tops anymore!
love your pink sneakers! 🙂
one random craving…. salted caramel..mm! and pumpkin bread + pumpkin cream cheese…its a dangerous condition!
MANGO! I can’t get enough. They were on sale for $1 this week and I grabbed three. They lasted exactly 3 days. I would finish dinner, be full, then 20 minutes later realize I couldn’t stop thinking about the mango!
Reeses! My husband and I went out and bought a bag this week at 10pm. They were awesome.
Chocolate and coconut. Together.
Yesterday I FINALLY picked up a dark chocolate and coconut bar. Much to my surprise, I didn’t eat the whole thing. I must have been sick or something. I’ll polish it off today. 🙂
Pumpkin spice chex sounds delicious.
Chocolate milk! Only cause I never drink milk really.
Great – now I am hungry for puppy chow too!! 😉 My random craving was during my long run last weekend – I really wanted a Red Robin vanilla milkshake!! I am totally getting one after our half marathon on Sunday!
I fell inlove with Chocolate Muddie Buddies in 9th grade, I seriously want to try a Vanilla one now!!! But Pumpkin sounds just as good! I’ve been dying to make pumpkin ice cream, so I’ve been craving that like crazy, I will make it next weekend when I have more time for sure!! Have a good Friday 🙂
Ohhh puppy chow… I just love that stuff! I can’t keep my hands away from it whenever it’s around.
One craving I had earlier this week was grilled cheese with soup! Aaaand I got it, so we’re doing good. 😉
I freaking LOVE puppy chow but pumpkin puppy chow? Is that pumpkin AND peanut butter?! 🙂
I was craving poptarts the other day. So random. But now puppy chow sounds good! Haha,.
moose tracks ice cream at 6am earlier in the week. and it was a craving I couldn’t get rid of. I craved it until I finally got it. but I’m pregnant so I’ll use that as my excuse 😉
My husband is not a breakfast for dinner kind of guy, but I love it! Since he had to work until late last night, I decided to fulfill my eggs and truly bacon craving with toast! It definitely hit the spot! 🙂
Oh geez. The moment I read this title, a major Puppy Chow (or Muddy Buddy, as I call them) craving emerged. Shoot.
That pancake looks great! And puppy chow….gahhhhhh love love love. I just found a pin on Pinterest last week that has about 8 different kinds….caramel chocolate, mint chocolate, etc. Need to make ASAP!
I LOVEEE vanilla chex. That is definitely my favorite flavor! If you make some puppy chow, send me some 😉
I hate when I’m watching the Food Network or browsing blogs when an IMMEDIATE craving hits. Most times, mine are for pancakes! The warm, comfort pancakes with syrup just get me EVERY time.
Oh yes, it’s only a matter of time before the pumpkin spice puppy chow makes an another appearance in my life. And I am in dire need of a sushi fix. Is it wrong that I want them both in the same meal?
puppy chow now that you mentioned it! and I am craving bodypump class! Just found out my gym offers it for free for members, so I am going to try it out, pretty excited 🙂
melba toast! (dipped in pb)
YUM!! There’s nothing like pancakes and cereal for breakfast! Breakfast of champions…
I had chocolate Chex for breakfast this morning! …seriously so good. Have a great weekend and TGIF!
Mmmm Vanilla Puppy Chow sounds amazing right now… 🙂
Have a great weekend!
I must try that Puppy Chow soon. It’s on my Pinterest board…just need to remember to get to it!
I don’t know about weird cravings but I tried Franken Berry cereal for the first time today (It’s my BF’s favorite cereal so I made Krispie Treats with it to surprise him). That cereal is a revelation! I can’t believe I’ve never tried it before. AND, it turns your milk pink and strawberry. I’ve been missin’ out!
Now I am craving puppy chow. There are few things more addicting than good ole’ puppy chow!
My one craving a week is a latte. I try and limit my calorie consumption through beverages, so when I have my latte, it is like a little bit of heaven. Every sip is that much more special.
Puppy Chow is the BEST! I think I crave it all the time, haha
I posted a great puppy chow recipe on my blog today! New Post! Top Five Friday Favorites #lotsofgoodfallrecipes http://alidamron.com/2013/10/top-five-friday-favorites-2/
yum, i haven’t had puppy chow in years!
i’ve been craving soup and chili, which isn’t really a “random” craving…but it’s still really warm here (southern california).
You’d think by now they’d just call it puppy chow!
Ive had a really strong craving for margaritas this week, good thing its friday!
No Biscoff in Canada … what can I use instead?
I’ve been craving some sangria but it’s not even 10am in California…whoops. Puppy chow is SO addicting!
Velveeta and Rotel! So bad, but sooo good!
I have had a craving for dried apple rings all week! Someone brought some into our office on Monday and ever since then, I can’t stop thinking about them. I am planning on heading to the farmers’ market to get some apples and spend the day tomorrow making some!
I want to try the pumpkin/spice puppy show I’ve seen on pinterest everywhere! hah.
A random craving was my craving yesterday–had to have Wendy’s fries & a frosty. And boy did it taste good! pregnancy cravings are totally cray, I tell you!
I’ve been having such a strong craving for pizza! Luckily, it’s on the menu for tonight! 😉
That’s so funny when I was growing up, on mornings that I ate cereal, I ALWAYS read the box…for whatever reason. I think it was an excuse to keep it close to me, so it was there and ready when I grabbed my second bowl 🙂
Love the tank!
And, SO funny…I do the same thing…I’m always reading the cereal box! lol

I’m craving pumpkin-y desserts … I haven’t had my quota yet this fall! 😉
At least you were teaching a water fitness class…. haha.
I’ve been craving oreo cheesecake. Like bad. It’s not good.
I have been craving chocolate covered almonds… Perhaps puppy chow now too!
Do you schedule “reward” meals each week?
Have a great weekend!
Ha! I totally do that too! I remember when I was younger I’d read the side of everything while I ate breakfast…orange juice, milk, you name it. Fun time breakfast activity! I had a random craving for eggs…I’m vegan that’s why it was so random!
I was craving a snickers yesterday. I totally caved and I got one out of the vending machine at my work. It had been so long and I couldn’t resist! But now you have me craving puppy chow! Oy vey!
