Can you believe it’s already time for WIAW? This week is going mighty fast.
Breakfast
Who doesn’t love pancakes mid-week? I sure do. I whipped up Tina’s OMG Pancakes and they were awesome topped with fake syrup because I’m out of pure maple!
So good and so filling!
After digesting breakfast I headed out for a run. I mentioned a few days ago about my knee pain I had after a 5 mile run for half marathon training. Yeah, it’s still happening. And, I am really irritated. I completed 3.22 miles and things are still not okay over here. I may have to skip running tomorrow and just hope that things get better for a Saturday run!
Lunch
I headed to Panera to study for my AFAA certification. I am obsessed with Panera, I mean seriously. Their bread is the best, is it not? I die over the multigrain baguette. I order the U-pick 2: Thai chopped chicken salad and vegetable soup. Never fails me!
Snack
A few hours after I was home from Panera, I snacked on a Strawberry Banana Chobani.
Love that flavor!
Dinner
I forgot to take a picture of my dinner, guys. And I really should have because it was so good. We had Shepherd’s Pie and Caesar salad. I will show you a picture of cold leftovers so you get the gist though, okay? I know you won’t judge. 
It is much more appetizing when it is hot! Promise!
So there is my WIAW. I’m headed to the gym for a much needed strength straining session!
Question: What do you usually order when/if you go to Panera Bread?
Have a good one! <3

I LOVE Panera – I get that soup everytime, too!
Isn’t it so good!?!
You made me want to go to Panera for lunch. I get the UPick2 country turkey sandwich and lately the veggie pesto soup thing. (cannot remember the name) It is delicious.
Love their sandwiches!
Sorry ab your knee doesn’t it suck being injured? I love panera’s bread as well. My fiancé doesn’t understand why they give you a hunk of bread on the side. Ummm, because it’s delicious???? And I’m always a fan of pancakes !!!!
Yes, I have had 2 surgeries (1 on each knee) and I hate my knees forever now!
I’ve had Tina’s OMG Pancakes on my “recipes to try” list for ages, I should really get around to making them, they look great! And I was having knee problems this week too after a run on Sunday…I made sure to stretch and take the next day off from running, and I ran just a couple miles yesterday and felt great. I think I’ll be ready to run farther tomorrow. Although I’m not training for a race right now, I definitely think you should take a day or two off (or shorten runs) for your knee to feel better. It really helps!
Thanks! Definitely make the pancakes; they are sooo good!
I love their chopped chicken salad with avocado! And I have really been wanting to make shepherds pie, thanks for the reminder!
Love shepherd’s pie!
I get the thai chopped chicken salad too! I really like the tomato mozzarella panini to go with it. You should try it- it tastes like a pizza! Hope your knee gets better soon!
Oh girl, I have tried that! Love it. And, thank you!
Strawberry banana is one of my favorite flavors as well. I just tried the new banana flavor and it’s amazing!
Yes, I love the banana!
darn knee pain! Loving the shepherds pie, I need to try and make one
Dooooo it!
Mmmm those pancakes look wonderful. Panera veggie soup with multigrain bread is my go-to lunch, probably at least twice a week :p
It’s my favorite place to grab lunch and do some work!
I love Panera! I usually get the you pick two with a bowl of soup and salad. I change up what soup and salads I get depending on what sounds good at the moment.
Same here! Love the whole you pick two idea!
I love Panera’s mutligrain bread too! I also like their broccoli cheese soup. Ugh now I’m craving it!
Haha love their broccoli cheese!
I’m definitely a creature of habit when it comes to my Panera orders too, love their asian chicken salad! Also, shephards pie is such a comfort food for me, my mom made it a lot when we were little so now I make it when I’m feeling down or just want a little more warmth in my belly
It is so comforting! Love it.
yum looks so good ! panera is the best !! if im really feeling it i get the bread bowl because its sooooooooo good. But I either get there black bean soup or vegetable and I love there Mediterranean sandwich!
I never had the Mediterranean sandwich! Must check that one out!
Panera’s you-pick-two meal is the best! I always order the black bean soup if it’s offered and a salad–mmm!
I wanted the Black Bean soup but they didn’t have it yesterday! I love it!
I don’t like near a Panera! Waah. I’ve had on-going knee issues with running and had ACL surgery in the past. I’ve found that for me it helps to warm up really well with walking 5 minutes, then I will run 2 miles or so, stop and do some serious stretches, especially IT stretches have been helpful for me. It’s frustrating to say the least, but it’s been about 4 months for me and I can now run 8 miles without any issues.
Oh no! I’m sorry you don’t live near a Panera
. Thanks for the advice. I tore my right ACL and had the surgery and I had minor surgery on my left knee. My left knee is the one that’s really bothering me. I am definitely going to take your advice!
The Fuji apple chicken salad at Panera is to die for!
