Didn’t I Just Do This?

Posted on by

How fast does time fly?! Seriously, I swear I just wrote last week’s What I Ate Wednesday post. Before you know it, it’ll be Christmas! Yikes. Scary thought.

Thank you to Jenn for hosting the weekly WIAW party, and coming up with a theme this month that includes daily exercise!

Here’s what happened in my world on Monday. Breakfast:

I had a bowl of egg white oats (2 egg whites, 1/2 cup of oats). I stirred in one full scoop of chocolate protein powder and topped it with mango pieces and berries. This is a repeat offender, although a new picture. It never disappoints … and is so full of protein I’m satisfied for longer!

Lunch:


I wasn’t able to get groceries until after work, so when I stopped by home during my lunch break, I needed to get creative. I baked microwaved a sweet potato and ate it alongside a lean turkey sausage from M & M’s and a generous heap of edamame. I stirred it all together, and was quite impressed with the result. And so colorful!

Supper:

By the time I hauled all of my groceries up to my apartment Monday night, I was sweating my face off. I didn’t want anything too difficult … and I didn’t want anything too hot. Raw veggies was obviously the answer, and so was a mahi mahi burger (a new purchase!). I paired it with plain Greek yogurt, raspberries, and Love Crunch Dark Chocolate & Red Berry granola. That was another new purchase (can anyone tell I started my Costco membership this week?) and I’M IN LOVE. Holy crow. Portioning that stuff out is going to be totally necessary, so I don’t eat the whole bag in one sitting.

Since July’s WIAW theme includes workouts, I suppose it’s time to share mine! Other than hauling all of my groceries up eight flights of stairs to my apartment (I have an elevator but chose the stairs), I also hit the gym after supper. I ran a mile and a half (on a level 1 incline, just for an extra challenge) and then did an incredibly hilly 4 mile bike ride on a stationary bike. My legs were sore yesterday. Love that feeling!

Have an excellent day, ladies and gents! Thanks again Jenn for hosting this wonderful partayyyyy!

Sometimes A Girl Just Wants A Sandwich

Posted on by

Hi there! It’s time for another edition of What I Ate Wednesday, hosted by the wonderful Jenn at Peas and Crayons. This month is all about sensible snacking … and while I’m not a huge snacker, one of my meals on Monday (the day I’m featuring in today’s post) felt like one giant snack fest.

Monday’s breakfast:

I tried something new! I guess I could count this as achieving one of my goals for June, but it’s not much of a recipe, so I’m not sure if I will or not. I made egg white oats, after my sister raved about it to me on the weekend. I cooked 1/2 cup of oats (with just over 1 cup of water) in the microwave, and then stirred in 2 egg whites before microwaving for another 45 seconds. Then I stirred in a spoonful of chocolate protein powder, and kah blam, a protein packed breakfast. And so voluminous with the egg whites in there! This will be making regular appearances. I had it on Tuesday, too :)

Monday’s lunch:

This is the snacky meal I mentioned earlier. I wanted so many different things, so I just piled ‘em all onto one plate. I microwaved a sweet potato, and since I couldn’t decided toppings, I covered one half with plain Greek yogurt and the other half with crunchy peanut butter (I’m so glad I finally decided to try that combo one day). With that, I had a handful of carrots with this fabulous new Greek yogurt dip I found, and some cherries. I always know summer has officially arrived when I can start buying cherries again!

Monday’s supper:

I had half of a spaghetti squash sitting in my fridge, and that was the plan for dinner. But … sometimes a girl just wants a sandwich. And that’s what this girl was craving for dinner when she walked in the door after work. It had been a hot day, so I wanted something cold and quick. In that tomato tortilla is two eggs (with a little bit of cheese), sliced turkey breast, and a bit cream cheese as the glue to hold it all together. I had some steamed veggies on the side with mustard on top. It looks a little gross … you make think it’s a little gross … but I do it all the time!

There! Done like dinner :) Enjoy your Wednesday – don’t forget to check out some other WIAW’s!
