What I { Will Eat } Wednesday

by Tiff

Yesterday’s eats were fairly random.  For example, I skipped breakfast and had leftover bbq lunch, so I’m focusing on what I plan to eat today instead.  I figured this would be better for meal planning inspiration since most all of it was packed and taken to the office.

 Thanks again to Jenn for hosting another WIAW party!

Pre-Gym: rice cake (gym = 3-mile run and a core workout)

Post Run: Kashi cereal with skim milk and small grapefruit (packed and eaten at the office after my workout)

Lunch: cabbage soup (a bowl from the big pot I made Sunday) and perhaps a small cappuccino

soup

Snack: Quest Protein Bar (If I weren’t in the office, I would have had cottage cheese & berries, but this fit in my lunchbox.)

Dinner: leftover { lucky } black eye pea  spicy masala with collard greens over brown rice (so healthy, so delicious)

Let’s hope there aren’t any leftover holiday treats on the office to tempt me from my plan.  Of course, I do still have a couple frozen chocolate chip pumpkin muffins in my freezer… muaahahaha

  • Got any holiday treats still hanging around?

WIAT: Starting to get my act together…

by Tiff

I shared yesterday’s holiday eats for my weekly “What I Ate Wednesday” post, but here’s a little of what I ate later that day.  WIAT?

It’s fairly healthy but perfect.  Sure, I squeezed in my fruits and veggies, but there are were still some leftover treats that neeeeeded eating.  I think if I cut out sugar completely I’d start going through withdrawals or something.  Better not chance it…

Breakfast: pre-gym whole wheat bread and post-gym grapefruit and microwaved egg

bread    breakfast

Lunch: I’ll dig into salad later this week, but yesterday’s cold rain had me craving soup. (minestrone)

soup    minestrone

Snack + Dinner: Quest Nutrition Protein Bar (love these) and spicy bean masala (again, great for the gloomy day)

quest    masala

Dessert: the last Nutella cheesecake square.  It would have been a shame to let it go to waste.  (no photo; trust it was tasty)

It felt good getting some veggies in my belly and hitting the gym again yesterday.  I still ran and did a little boot camp while my family was in town, but I think the weights missed me.  I’ve got another run scheduled for this morning, so let’s hope it’s a good one!

  • How long do you leave up Christmas decor? *I took mine down Christmas day, so no more festive place mats.
  • Do you still have lingering holiday treats?
