WIAW: Heart Health Month

by Tiff

Did you know that February is heart health month? I guess everyone and everything gets a month, eh? I’ll take any excuse to celebrate, so I’ll be celebrating the month with workouts, dark chocolate, red wine, healthy fats, and lots of snuggles. Snuggles are good for your heart too ya know, so my kitties better watch out!


Moving on with the food… Here’s my first WIAW of Heart-Health Month.

First Breakfast: rice cake and a wee bit of peanut butter

Second Breakfast: Kashi Heart to Heart Warm Cinnamon Oat cereal***, extra-DHA milk, and a naval orange

brekkie

*** The cereal has soluble fiber, some protein, heart-healthy cinnamon, and not too much sugar. Win!

Snack: Sunwarrior Vanilla protein in water

Lunch: veggie bowl (broccoli slaw, cauliflower, edamame, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil) & Trader Joe’s wheat pita

veg

Snack: carrots & more pb (I’ve been a little obsessed the past couple days.)

carrots

Dinner: ratatouille polenta bake (subbed artichokes canned in water for zucchini and used less cheese, this recipe is always a win whether I strictly follow it or just wing it)

ratatouille veg

Dessert: pumpkin protein mug cake! (I’ve been a hungry beast lately… not sure what’s up with that.)

  • Had any good veggie bowls lately? I need new combo ideas!

WIAW: Snackalicious

by Tiff

Well that was a very snackalicious Tuesday.  I have been good about only eating when I’m hungry, but dang have I been huuuungry!  I’m not sure if it’s the running, the stress, the drop in protein, or a combination thereof, but my belly wants food, food, and quite a bit more food.  Here were the eats from yesterday…

First Breakfast = rice cake, Second Breakfast = gala apple on wheat English muffin with 1 TBS pb

yum

First Snack = 10 almonds (not pictured)

Lunch = salad (romaine, sunflower seeds, broccoli, onion, bell pepper, lite Asian dressing) and butternut squash soup

Second Snack = Eat.Think.Smile bar and a banana an hour or two later

Dinner = quinoa, steamed cauliflower + broccoli, baked tofu, 2 TBS soy sauce

Third + Fourth Snack = pumpernickle pretzels while cooking and some ginger thins with my decaf spice tea (amazing combo)
