Yesterday was full of ups and downs. I had a bad run (more like, a bad attempt at a run), but I had a good full-body strength workout. More on that tomorrow. I had an awful breakfast, but I had an amazing dinner. I guess it all evens out in the end, right?
First Breakfast – pre-gym peanut butter
Second Breakfast – post-gym attempt at a blueberry protein pancake*
*I just purchased Sunwarrior vegan protein, but I can hardly stomach the stuff. I tried it in my beloved protein oats on Monday. Ick. I then tried it in the protein pancake. Major Ick. The irony is not lost on me – I realize I mixed 2 egg whites with my vegan protein powder to make the pancake. It was still a flop.
Snack – a handful of almonds
Lunch – leftover turkey with green beans with sliced almonds (Who knew turkey could be so good even without gravy???)
Snack – finished up the leftover Halloween candy and later finished half a pear (which was originally supposed to go in my Stonyfield plain Greek yogurt… whooops. chocolate > yogurt)
Dinner – veg chili, soooooooo good!
Snack – Nestle instant hot cocoa (totally unplanned, but when all the other girls at Bible study were sipping on theirs, I couldn’t help myself. This chocolaty WIAW was totally worth it!) Thanks to Jenn for hosting the WIAW party.
- Have you gotten into Christmas candy yet?
- Still got Halloween candy kicking around the house?

i need to start implementing this pre-workout peanut butter thing. a peanut butter spoon is the best.

I can’t believe you still have Halloween candy- impressive! Mine was gone within the week!

Wait… you somehow made halloween candy last that long? Do tell your secrets…

I actually just bought some Hershey chocolate mint candy canes yesterday. I’m thinking they will be perfect in hot chocolate, or topped on some frozen vanilla yogurt
Maybe even in some sort of smoothie???

Oh no! I can’t believe you’re not a fan of Sunwarrior. It’s my favorite protein powder ever. Is it plain? I have never had the plain. But I think the vanilla is fantastic. I’ve used it in baking, smoothies and oats. I’m bummed your experience hasn’t been good.

mmm chocolate
I need to get some hot coco now!

I personally can’t stand gravy. Lol. So that plain turkey is right up my alley!
Sorry for the pancake flop! I use my vegan protein powder to make microwave protein breads… pumpkin, banana, etc. SUPER EASY! And since you can have eggs I bet they’d be even BETTER!

Isn’t it discouraging when eats don’t live up to your expectations? I want everything I eat to be awesome! We still have a mountain of Halloween candy left…I need it to move onto another home please & thank you!

That mince looks so comforting!

My Halloween candy is actually all gone, but the Christmas candy is out in full force
Candy canes and kisses? Yesssss! And I can’t wait to break into my advent calendar. Whyyyy does it still have to be 2 days until December?

I think Thanksgiving leftovers get better everyday! Happy WIAW:)

I wasnt a big gravy fan until my sister’s husbands mom made it at our Thanksgiving… WOWSERS. It was soooooo good.

I don’t have any Christmas candy yet, but I’m on a mission to track down Hershey’s peppermint kisses. Those are the best!
