Hey My Lovelies!
Thanks for all of your comments on my Sweet Potato Bars. My family really enjoyed them, but at the moment I’ve been thinking about those almond butter chocolate chip bars – I had only gotten one before they were all eaten, so I need to make some more almond butter so I can make me some more bars! I’m really glad that you guys liked that there was tofu in the sweet potato bars. I love sneaking in things like that into the things I bake (my family never knows it’s in there!).
My Birthday was pretty quiet. I had my Physics AP test that afternoon. (I wish I could have had more time to prepare, but I went and did my best.) Let me say, I was EXHAUSTED afterwards. Who knew a 3 hour test could really suck all the energy out of you??
And for my birthday dinner, I had:
CHIPOTLE!!!!

The Vegetarian bowls are my FAVORITE! You just can’t beat their guacamole! ![]()
And to my utmost surprise, my family bought me a birthday cake. ![]()

White mini cake with buttercream frosting. <3

It was SO cute! It meant so much to me that they went out of their way to get me a cake for my birthday. Usually I make it myself (as that’s the funnest part — making it!), but this year they bought it for me. We aren’t big cake fans, but we do like it once in a while. The flower on top was my favorite part o it!

Good Luck! I can’t wait to hear all of your fitness/diet challenge ideas!
xoxox,




















Trying something creative once a week– like hiding vegetables in pastries and smoothies or making guacamole out of asparagus!
I LOVE your idea for a challenge! Being a sneaky chef is always fun.
awesome challenge of some kind of outside activity everyday, especially since the weather nicer now!
I LOVE your challenge idea! The weather outside right now IS beautiful, so why not go out and enjoy it!
looks like you had a fun birthday (minus the whole physics test.. i hate physics!)!! chipotle sounds so good right now- i’ve only been there a few times but their guac is to die for!
Thanks, Julianna! I did have a fun birthday. I guess it helps that I like physics — that is probably what got me through having to take an AP test on my birthday. I got to celebrate afterwards — for both!
Well first off..HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Cute cake
a fun challenge would be (for me) to tackle a new hike every weekend!
Hey, Tayla!
Thanks so much!
I love hiking too — what a great challenge that would be.
Sounds like a great bday, especially with chipotle!!
And your cake looks so cute and tasty!
Thanks, Alexandra! I actually didn’t ever try the cake (I’m not much of a cake person — but I did have something else in place of the cake), but my family said it was really good!
I participated in a contest where all participants wore pedometers, and we all tried to earn the most steps per week for the entire summer. It was fun!
Hey, Ann!
I love your idea to wear a pedometer. I’m a girl who loves competition (especially against guys), so I know I would have a lot of fun with this!
Happy birthday! Awesome cake
Thanks! It was a really cute cake.
I love obstacle courses for fun fitness! Running, jumping, climbing, crawling, acting crazy, and being competitive.
P.S. Thanks for joining the sugar-free challenge!
Thank YOU for hosting the sugar-free challenge! It was a lot of fun!
Happy birthday,the cake looks yummy. I think a great challenge would be do drink ore than 8 cups of water every day of the week, ban soda and artificially flavored beverages:)
Hey, Daybelis!
Thanks so much!
I love your idea for a challenge — you are such a smartie!
happy birthday! i fitness challenge i have been trying to do lately is to stretch 15 minutes before i go to bed! helps me relax and helps my muscles feel better!
Hey, Karina! I love your idea to stretch before going to bed. What a great way to relax before hitting the sack!
A diet challenge would be going without any packaged/refined foods for a month – aka eating whole grains, beans, nuts, vegetables and fruit only!
What a great challenge idea, Rebecca!!!! I LOVE IT! <3 <3
Happy birthday!!
A diet challenge could be trying at least one new food per week! Expands our eating horizons a bit…
Thanks for the giveaway!
Thank YOU!
Happy birthday darling!! The challenge I’ve been giving myself is to drink MORE WATER!!!! It’s so easy and it can make you feel so much better, why do I not do this?!
Thanks, Liz!
Hmm.. a good challenge for me would be to not drink any calories.. so no drinking soda, coffee with sugar, vitamin water, etc.
That’s a great challenge!
For couch potatoes, a good challenge would be to learn a new exercise everyday of the week. A new sport, or a new workout.
Happy Belated Birthday, Kat! I think you made a wise choice for your birthday dinner. I am in love with Chipolte!
Oh and for my entry – I always like to challenge myself with making sure I get in my servings of fruits and veggies. I’m pretty good with veggies, but I struggle with meeting my fruit quota!
Thanks, Erika! I love Chipotle, too! It is one of my most favorite places EVER!
17 is such a good age! You have so many great thngs ahead of you
HAppy belated bday!! Mine in soon also ; )
Thanks, Jocelyn! Happy Birthday to you, too!
Drink only water for a day or go for a month without restaurant food/takeout.
Ooohhh, I like this one. Good thinking, Natalia!
Happy birthday my dear!! That looks like the perfect birthday dinner!
Thanks, Katie! You are so sweet.
hope you had a good bday!
i already have a crockpot, so don’t enter me, though. so fantastic!
Thanks, Emily! I did have a great bday!
Happy birthday! I love Chipotle burrito bowls too.
Thanks, Maria! That really means a lot to me!
