Not Very Stapley

Posted on by

Hi!

A very happy What I Ate Wednesday to you … always a joyous occasion (thanks Jenn!).

The food I’m featuring in today’s post is from Tuesday (and truthfully … not very summer stapley. Yes I know that’s not a word). And it’s not the prettiest food I’ve ever shown. Maybe check out past posts for the good stuff? ;)

Breakfast:

Another morning, another breakfast wrap. Spilled on my keyboard while reading blogs. I’m nothing if not consistent. In this whole grain wrap is two eggs (cooked with some chia seeds to make them look all Dalmatiany), two slices of turkey bacon, a generous helping of black beans, and nutritional yeast. Gettin’ the day off to a great start, I’d say!

Lunch:

Work was crazyyyyy yesterday. Lunch happened while on the way back from an “on location” shoot …. at 2PM. You could have called me Starvin’ Marvin (actually, I kept referring to myself as that and I’m sure it was terribly annoying). Subway to the rescue! This was a 6″ veggie sub – everything but banana peppers – on honey oat.

Dessert:

My coworker and I were in a small town for said shoot … and every small town always has a terrific bakery (right?!). We had to stop. These are carrot cake “muffins”. If they’re called muffins, they’re healthier than cupcakes. Right? ;)

Dessert (again?):

Unpictured … my wonderful friend had some delicious cake while on vacation 15 (or so) hours away. She needed to share. So she packaged it up and got it home ON THE PLANE so I could eat it. That’s friendship. And an extreme love of dessert. It was well travelled … and delicious.

Supper:

A rather ugly bowlful. This was actually Monday’s supper (sorry!), since I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off before my best friend’s bridal shower last night. Remember my dress from yesterday’s post? It was a hit. So many compliments :) Anyway, this ugly bowlful contains green beans, edamame, broccoli, ground turkey, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and a couple of whole grain Tostitos for some added crunch. Looks aren’t everything, okay?

Ta daahhhhhh! Donezo. Happy WIAW, everyone :)

Realizations

Posted on by

Things I’ve realized:

1) After spending hours in my car this weekend to drive to and from a bridal shower, I can say I’m incredibly excited for my best friend’s wedding next month. Us bridesmaids know how to have fun :) (and so does the bride!).

2) I think I need to sleep for 3 days straight to try and catch up. Lately, I seem to have two late nights in a row and then a free night. I crash so hard on my free night that I don’t end up moving in my sleep and have a sore back to deal with when the alarm clock goes off.

3) 17 Again was on TV last night. I still love that show. Yes, I’m 22.

4) I’m looking forward to getting back to the gym this morning. I went quite hard last Monday … and had serious DOMS in my legs and didn’t go back all week. I could have trained other parts of my body. I didn’t. So I had a 7 day break, and this week will be different. I’m starting things off with a run and some upper body work today!

5) I’m just all about the lists on Yellow Haired Girl lately.

6) I want it to be Friday already. Whoops. I have a crazy busy week (with a lot of work related driving each day!), but have Friday off again. I need it to be that day. I have exciting things planned!

7) I can’t stop eating sliced turkey breast, usually in my breakfast egg wraps. Delicious. Now I want to eat one. Immediately.

8) My latest TV show? Mad Men. Thank you baby Jesus Netflix. I’m really, really fresh into it … but I already love it!

Okay, enough with this morning’s list. What’s up guys?! How was your weekend? Tell me something :)
