Good Stuff I Ate Last Week

Since I've been out of commission with a cold this week I didn't get around to doing a "What I ate Wednesday" post.  I figured I'd still post some of the yummy stuff I've eaten last week even if it isn't a days worth.

Here ya go:

Branched out and had a different breakfast than usual.  Trader Joe's frozen oatmeal quinoa with strawberries and blueberries 

Egg Scramble with salmon, and veggies

 

 Super Healthy Kid's No Bake Bars

Trader Joe's Super Spinach Salad 

Not as good as "real" Butter Pecan Ice Cream.  But I'll take it.

Wednesday and Thursday Wrap-up

Is it just me, or did this week just fly by?

Wednesday we had an awesome time walking on a new trail.  It was beautiful

 My mom is a trooper.  She pushed the boys in the stroller pretty much the whole way.  It's a big double stroller with tiny wheels - definitely not designed for pushing for a couple miles on a (paved) trail.

We ended up at a bakery which had some great food.  I got this scramble with eggs, salmon, tomatoes, and bacon.  This was my second breakfast.

I also learned from my mom's friend there is a local Zumba class which is very inexpensive and right near my house!  Can't wait to start there!  

My big boy and I made these yummy No Bake Bars from Super Healthy Kids.  They took a loonng time to make since I only have a mini food processor - but they were a hit. :D

Thursday:

Thursdays workout as an "at home circuit" workout created by Julie from pbfingers.com.  I don't know if I'm a big wimp or if this was extra hard but I only completed this circuit once.  

Visit her blog for all the details

Dinner was one of those nights where nothing sounded good.  I must have walked around the store a million times looking for something to eat.  I decided on this Super Spinach Salad.  Question:  What are your go to to "meals" when NOTHING sounds good?  Mine usually end up being a smoothie or eggs and toast.  Something super easy.

It was yummy and filling.  

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

What I Ate Wednesday

Goooood Morning!  My first official What I Ate Wednesday post.  Please let the record state that I am not a registered dietitian, an expert, or anywhere near perfect.  I should also mention this post was not sponsored by Trader Joes.

Today included a great leg workout from Blogilates.  Seriously. I felt my legs for two days after this workout.

Breakfast:  An oatmeal "pancake" with natural peanut butter and maple syrup and an iced coffee with Almond Milk.  I should probably scale back on the amount of maple syrup......you think?

Snack 1: Apples and peanut butter

Lunch:  Udi's gluten free bread with Trader Joe's chicken salad.  I ate the rest of my apple and some broccoli.  Sometimes I'll only eat one slice of gluten free bread because they tend to be dry...Anyone else have that problem?  I ate this about an hour before my leg workout.

Snack 2 (post workout snack):  Strawberries and Almonds

Snack 3: Small amount of smoothie.  It was made with coconut water (Trader Joe's brand), spinach, frozen mixed berries, and half a banana.  It tastes better than it looks.  Way to get a good picture....

Dinner:  Trader Joe's gluten free chicken nuggets, homemade sweet potato fries (they were way too salty), and some frozen veggies.

Huh.  After looking at what I ate today I feel like I eat a lot more veggies than I thought I did.  Insightful.

I also had a small handful of M&Ms (what was left in the bag..)

This post does not reflect the water I drank with every meal and while working out.  I didn't take pictures.  Nothing fancy.  Glass, ice, and water.  boom.
