Remember the other week when I presented to you the Pumpkin Dessert Omelet for dinner? Well, it happened again, only in a slightly different variety, and this was born from my stove:
The Elvis {Dessert} Omelet
2 eggs + 2 egg whites
1/2 banana, mushed
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. sea salt
2 tbsp. peanut butter
1/2 banana, sliced
chocolate chips, Greek yogurt for topping – optional
Whisk eggs, banana, cinnamon, vanilla, and sea salt in a bowl. Pour onto a pan over medium heat, sprayed with nonstick spray. Step away for a minute. Down the center, place the banana and peanut butter. Cook for another minute, and then form into an omelet. Top with chocolate chips and Greek yogurt.
I enjoyed this dinnerdessert with a side of toast with avocado, tomato, and sriracha. Odd? Yes. Delicious? Oh yes.
I was actually going to make white chicken chili in the crock pot but then I realized I’ve never made that before and I needed a few extra ingredients. Guesses for tonight’s dinner? 
You might have been able to tell, but I’ve been dealing with a little crapola lately. It’s fine. I don’t want anyone’s sympathy, and it’s something lots of people deal with. I don’t really want to talk about it right now, but I’m sure I eventually will.
Anyway, last night I was kind of letting it get me down, so after my day’s work, I did the things that I do when I’m feeling anxious/down:
1. Comfort food. See above.
2. Baking. Pumpkin baking, no less
Ahhhhh. I cannot wait to share this recipe with you guys!
3. Mug of CALM.
Love my calm drink. I wasn’t feeling tea, and CALM is nice and fruity and flavorful.
4. Then a mug glass of wine:
5. Snuggly PJ’s
6. A good book
7. My snuggle monsters
Ahhh 
Much better.
Another good thing? Today’s Friday and it got here QUICK! I’m pretty amped about it, too, because after my work day I’m headed out to get a deeeeep tissue massage! I even scheduled my workouts around it so that today would be leg day:
Dumbbell stationary lunges
Barbell squats
Step Ups w/ weights
Hip thrusters
Goblet squats
Hip adductor machine (gotta work on strengthening those glute meds!)
Calf raises on step
Happy Friday ya’ll!
What are the things you do when you’re feeling anxious/down?
Any big plans for the weekend?
My friend’s got a birthday party tomorrow, so we’ll be swinging by that. And of course training clients. Other than that, wide open!
PS – Now go check out my guest post on the lovely Lindsay’s blog on my ideal workout!
Love this recipe!!! Can’t wait to try it out! I like to just get comfortable when I’m feeling down! Sweatpants and just relaxing with my puppy is sometimes the best medicine!

That Elvis omelette has totally caught my attention! I have been seeing dessert omelettes popping up all over, but have yet to try them yet.. This needs to change!
Lately yoga or having a bath and reading is what does the trick for me, used to be running.
It is Thanksgiving in Canada this weekend! Lots of turkey is my plan!

That Apothic is my BFFs favorite. It’s inexpensive, but a really nice flavor. I love reading to unwind. Also, running…running is a huge anxiety reliever for me.
When I’m feeling anxious, I clean. I’m like Monica from Friends haha. I definitely bake more often when I’m feeling a little sad. Not to eat the food or anything, but it helps me feel accomplished and reminds me of home when my mom used to bake.

I hope you’re feeling better about things today! Anxiety is something I deal with at times, so it’s something I consistently have to work on. A talk with Cody or my mom does wonders, a back massage, some down time with a good book or TV show, or a good sweat sesh if I’m feeling energetic always helps too.

When I’m feeling anxious, I love to work out. Also, curling up with Glamour in a bath tub

I’m always down for baking when I’m feeling down and anxious! It makes me feel instantly better. And I suffer from a lot of anxiety since I have panic disorder, so I tend to do these things often ha ha.
Or a drink and some reading:) I need to do that more often to de-stress! Or I take a warm bath with some bubbles and candles…talk about relaxation!
Hope things are looking up today Paige!

I’m sorry you have been dealing with some stuff lately! I have been too, and it stinks. When I’m anxious and stressed, I have no appetite, so I scrubbed my house and cleaned out the fridge. I also sat on the couch and just chilled out. I also try not to exercise too much when I’m really stressed or anxious… don’t want to raise my cortisol levels any more than necessary!!
I hope you are feeling much better today though! I’m a bit jealous of that massage!

Love the dessert omelet! I will be trying that one for sure.
I need a hip adductor machine in my house…that part of my body is a nightmare of weakness.
When I’m anxious or down, I eat! Four years ago, when anxious or down, I didn’t eat. Ten years ago, I did eat. It’s a great cycle! Not!
Have fun at the party!
Oh love the elvis dessert omelet! Is it not the most amazing thing like, EVER??!!
Have a great weekend girl!! Can’t wait to hear all about it

Sorry you’re feeling anxious but these all sound like great ways to boost your mood! Another one to add to the list is watching mindless TV….right now, that would be Full House for me
!
Booo, sorry that you’re not feeling too great, Paige. Sending some positive thoughts your way!
Andd while I’m at it, I’m totally pinning this version of your dessert omelet. It looks like a folded Funny Face from IHOP, my childhood staple
