The Olympics have taken over our TV.
Is everyone else this obsessed?
I feel like this week has been background to the Olympics. I work while watching the Olympics, I plan workouts while watching the Olympics, Vegas and I eat dinner in front of the TV… we are obsessed.
I did get away for a run though. It was a gorgeous day, despite all the hills.
The hills and the leg days have paid off. My ass finally grew developed. I took the first pic after leg day yesterday. The one below it was 3 years ago (thank you, Timehop).
Proof you CAN build a butt:
Here are a few posts with my favorite glute routines:
AND I would be remiss in leaving out the amazing mail day I had. My Popsugar box arrived! I’m so addicted to these – it’s a fun way to try products you never knew you always needed.

Read on for my whole day of eats, and link up to Jenn’s WIAW baby right here today!
Breakfast:
The usual morning cocktail followed by my new gummies. We’re totally addicted to my special “Active” blend. Customized gummies… it’s one f those “why didn’t I think of that?” ideas.
For breakfast we had socca waffles with smashed avocado, Japanese sweet potato hash browns, and eggs.
I mixed up my go-to socca recipe, but cooked it in the waffle iron. Worked like a charm! Just make sure you grease the waffle iron really well.
It was a delicious, protein-packed, gluten-free breakfast!
Snacks:
I basically snacked all day long. I should have had better meals, but my schedule was so consumed with the Games weird I just didn’t do well. You win some, you lose some.
This was post run. I was too hot to eat much else than Chocolate Cake Batter protein powder mixed with cottage cheese – it was basically chocolate cheesecake batter. That was followed with a handful of Think Thin Bites.
Then I had to rinse off and get to the gym or leg day. I was really glad to have Lindsay’s balls in my freezer. (TWSS)
I think the tequila is too minimal to make a difference… even if I ate 5….

Dinner:
Vegas grilled again, but this was my prep. Blueberry BBQ Pork Skewers. It was so good that even my baby sister ate it (she barely eats any meat, especially not pork!). THAT recipe will be up soon.
Served with wine, cheese and salads.

Dessert:
Yogurt bowls are my favorite desserts. This was a protein-rich chocolate avocado pudding version. Eaten while watching the Olympics, of course.

Madi and I were cracking up over your comments on her “date.” Thanks. 🙂
What’s your favorite Olympic event? I’m torn between swimming and gymnastics.
What’s your favorite snack food?
That pork looks amazing – look forward to the recipe! It will be summer and grill time here in Aus before I know it! 😉
We too are addicted to the Olympics here. Mostly re-runs due to the timing difference but just as engaged. Loved the gymnastics and the weightlifting. I think you always view a sport differently when you also do it yourself, like you can feel inside the pain they are going through!
I finallllly posted it today – woot! 🙂
Did you see the male powerlifter dislocate his elbow? I almost puked.
I haven’t seen ANY of the Olympics!! So sad! It’s kind of less exciting when you live in China and no one here really cares about it. And those think thin protein bites look awesome!
I love swimming and any track and field event. I didn’t realize how easy it was for you to make that yogurt dessert! I might need to try it sometime.
They are super easy! I have one almost every night!
some days I find myself snacking all day long too! it’s not my nature to snack but hey, it happens.
Definitely gymnastics for me is my favorite in the Olympics. Never thought of putting avocado on a waffle. But what wouldn’t avocado be good on? They are delicious.
Socca is a savory flavor, so the avocado works really well! But yeah… I’d probably eat avocado on anything.
I really love what you have done with your butt! HA!!! And yes, totally obsessed with the Olympics. My boys actually cried last night because I wouldn’t let them stay up and watch gymnastics!!! It’s a good thing they didn’t know about swimming 🙂
Hey! Tried to add my link but it said I didn’t link back to peas and crayons but I did. Can you approve? 🙂 thanks!!!
I feel like it is always a good thing to have your friends balls in your hands. Just a general life goal, honestly.
Reason number 4568935474568973432 I heart you.
Great job! Actually pushed me to get my butt to the gym this morning! Thanks!
Oh, that’s so great to hear!!! And motivating to me too!
Nice work! Spinning is another way to lift the glutes without even trying!
I’ve been staying up to late to watch gymnastics. So worth it! Yay for glutes growth. I’ve had a flat butt all my life, but this year I have seen a little bit of growth! I’m going to check out your work out posts on it!
I use to be f the mindset that you couldn’t really change a flat butt, but I’m a believer now. It’s funny to go from never being able to get jeans that hugged my butt to buying curvier bum fits. LOL
gymnastics all the way! The USA women are unbeatable!
Heeeey nice butt haha. I’ve never had any trouble in that department! I love gymnastics and swimming, but the diving has also been really fun to watch!
I’ve enjoyed watching all of the Olympics but the gymnastics and volleyball are my favorites. And those Pork skewers look so good! I’m trying to use the girl as much as possible before it starts getting darker and colder out.
Thanks! I finally posted the recipe today… I was such a bum last week. 🙂
I will take one butt, and one socca waffle please. Oh and maybe some tequila. 🙂
baby got back! and balls??? LOL! i dunno, i just added that in there. I currently need both. Ugh, I can’t lift for 6 weeks. Boo.
send more tequila
Awwwww… how about just some vodka for now? Vodka balls?
Yogurt bowls are my FAVORITE dessert too, and I’ve been missing out on the Olympics. :o) I’m kind of waiting for the running. 😀 I LOVE watching athletes and their excitement for their sports!
Loved the most recent Pop Sugar box too and yes you can totally build a butt! Looking good girlie
I like gymnastics & swimming too & I also.love volleyball. The beach one is a fav lol. Must try the socca waffles 😍😍
I tried SO HARD to get into volleyball… I just can’t. LOL
I have been all about the olympics as well! The women’s gymnastics team kicked butt! I love watching them dominate. Your day of eats looks good too!
I am definitely Olympics obsessed. After watching both the men’s and women’s cycling races, I’m teaching an Olympics themed cycling class tomorrow, based on the profile of the race!
Woohoo – CONGRATS on building your bootay grrrrl!!! You posted a workout pdf a long while ago on here – that started with like a 100 squats, 90 lunges, etc and I’ve been doing that at least once a week and gawsh – it never fails to burn!
Those socca waffles sound amazing BTW – my daughter loves savory waffles and she would have a hard time sharing these!
For real?! I’m totally flattered – thank you for telling me. 🙂
I haven’t watched any of the Olympics… It’s sad, everyone else keeps talking about it and I’m dying to watch. I’ve just been consumed by other things this week. Also, we don’t have cable so I need to find other ways to watch live and haven’t had time. Protein powder and cottage cheese seems…interesting? I don’t wanna knock it until I try it, but I’m really interested now!
I feel you with the cable – I didn’t have it for 5 years, so the only time I saw anything on TV was at the gym!
Socca waffles?! I need to try that! And the Olympics are the best. Period.
We just got back into town after being in the wilderness. I have so much Olympic catching up to do!
That’s right! Vegas is upset we’re going to be out of the country for 2 weeks of football season. *sigh*
i dont eat pork either but those skewers look ahmazing!!
Thanks! I used the leftover sauce (posted the recipe today) with tempeh and it was really good!
#datass! I haven’t watched any of the Olympics, except for that French dude breaking his leg. Ouch!
Did you see the powerlifter dislocate his elbow??? Barf.
Do you think your waffle maker will fit in your carry on? It’s worth a shot. 🙂
Actually… it probably would. Could you imagine the look on the TSA’s face?!
socca waffles, love it!!
Nice booty.
I find when I go to OTF regularly and am doing work on it mine isn’t as pancake flat as usual so I am mad I am missing out on that now.
They JUST opened a OTF down the street from me. I can’t wait to try it out!
Ah yes I love the Olympics SO MUCH too! It’s funny because my family isn’t all that into the Olympics, and since I’m currently staying at my parents, I’m forcing everyone to watch with me 🙂 I’m all, “GUYSSSSS, WATCH HOW AMAZING SIMONE BILES IS!”
Ha! We were recording Simone for my sister if she couldn’t be home. We were addicted… but I did lose interest with the water polo.
Nice quads, girl! You’ve definitely been putting in the work. My glutes are the hardest part for me to train and always have been. I squat myself to death most days! 🙂 I’m totally into cold bowls these days too, have a great week! 🙂
It takes a while, but I promise it works! Getting some extra protein and carbs in right after a good glute workout helps a TON too!
So excited to check out those booty workin workouts. And I have a question about runkeeper! Do you prefer it to Nike run? That’s the one I use right now
I’ve never actually used Nike Run… but I do like Runkeeper. They’ve made updates in the past year that make it MUCH more user-friendly.
