75 Medium Week 7 Recap

This week has been the hardest so far. Mostly because my son got sick with a stomach bug that didn’t quite get me sick as well, but has left me feeling fatigued. You’ll see in the last two daily recaps that I took a couple days off of workouts because I really just needed to lay down and had absolutely no energy in me to exercise. I know I literally said in last weeks recap that I was stubborn and was still going to show up– but OOF not this week.

I also am finding myself in a bit of a rut with meals. It probably has to do a lot with the fact that I’m not feeling good, and cooking a healthy meal generally requires more effort, so I hope to find some yummy and healthy looking recipes on Pinterest and TikTok to hopefully inspire myself!

My husband and I were in NYC for a long weekend an My husband and I were in NYC for a long weekend and I knew I wasn’t going to be able to leave without trying the scallion pancake BEC at @winsonbakery 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️
📍Win Son Bakery (East Village)
We both got the BEC which had the CRISPIEST bacon, egg, and havarti cheese and it came with their ginger deluxe sauce. I NEED to figure out the recipe to recreate the sauce because it was amazing 🥲 
I also got their 5 spice latte which was so tasty and I loved that it wasn’t super sweet! #pregnancy #pregnancycraving #nyc
Guess who doesn’t have gestational diabetes? 🙂‍↕️ Guess who doesn’t have gestational diabetes? 🙂‍↕️
After having GD with my first pregnancy, I am SO relieved to not have to check blood sugars and be monitoring this time around— however, I’m still being mindful and conscious of my carbs, because I do think it’s better for me and baby (but I’m not being quite so restrictive now!!)

Breakfast: savory breakfast muffins (recipe on my page!)
Lunch: leftover sheet pan lasagna (recipe by @sara.haven) and raspberries
Snack: jalapeño chips, havarti, and dill pickles IYKYK
Dinner: fish, @brazi_bites, and roasted veggies
Bedtime snack: @fairlife chocolate milk always 🍫🥛

I recommend priming your sheets of plywood FIRST, then tracing your outline of the characters and then cutting them out! It makes it easier to see the image if you’re using a projector, and then it’s also easier to see your outline when you start painting!

DIY FELT BIRTHDAY CROWN 🎉🥳🥹 I made two of these th DIY FELT BIRTHDAY CROWN 🎉🥳🥹
I made two of these this year, one for my dad for his 80th (lol) and another for my toddler! I thought it was super a cute keepsake, and not very difficult, so I’m definitely going to keep making these for kid’s birthdays! 🥹 #birthdaycrown #keepsakegifts #birthdaytradition #slowliving #toddlermom
DIY “Terracotta” Pumpkins 🎃 I love the look of th DIY “Terracotta” Pumpkins 🎃 
I love the look of the terracotta pumpkins, but knew I could DIY it for less 😌
Just mix up some baking soda into paint until it forms a gritty paste and apply a couple of coats to a cheap plastic pumpkin. On your last coat while it’s still a LITTLE wet, sprinkle on some additional baking soda and dust it around with a paint brush. #falldecorations #diyhalloween #halloweendecorations

I’ve never been super intentional about decorating I’ve never been super intentional about decorating my bedroom but with baby number 2 on the way, I now recognize that I need a lovely space to rot in the newborn bubble 👶 today I’m tackling bed styling (we have a king sized bed for reference). I tried my best to keep it on a budget bc WHYYYY are pillows so expensive??? #bedroomstyle #pregnancy #roommakeover
I made these carb-balanced/blood sugar friendly/hi I made these carb-balanced/blood sugar friendly/high protein breakfast muffins often in my first pregnancy and honestly have enjoyed them well beyond pregnancy! They’re only 5 ingredients and give the bready texture I was missing when I had gestational diabetes. It’s kind of similar to a sausage ball! I normally eat 2-3 muffins for breakfast as each muffin has about 7 grams of carbs and 12 grams of protein!

5-INGREDIENT SAVORY BREAKFAST MUFFINS
* 1 pound of turkey sausage (or whatever type you like)
* 4 eggs
* 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
* 1 cup Kodiak cake baking mix
* 1/3 cup cottage cheese

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350℉ and spray a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray
2. In a pan over medium heat, add the sausage and crumble while cooking. Cook until no longer pink. Remove from heat and allow to cool briefly.
3. In a bowl, crack the eggs and lightly beat. Add shredded cheese, kodiak mix, cooked sausage, and cottage cheese and mix well (mixture will be thick)
4. Fill the 12 prepared muffin cups evenly with the mixture.
5. Bake for about 22-25 minutes or until golden brown on top

Recipe Notes
If meal prepping for the week, store leftovers in a container in the fridge. You can heat by microwaving for about 1 minute. I prefer to reheat them by microwaving a couple for 15-30 seconds and then pop them in the air fryer at 350 for 3-5 minutes.
