Weekend Eats
I woke up yesterday with a sore throat and a bit of a head cold. My meals always get a little thrown off when I’m feeling under the weather, so I thought it would be more fun to show you what my meals looked like on Sunday.
Because I was awake before my roommates, I decided not to wake up the entire house with my jet-engine-esque blender, and opted for yogurt, blueberries, and half a grapefruit. Sunday mornings also include a cup or two of coffee!
After breakfast, I got my workout in at Gym Quest, in their adult tumbling class. It’s so much fun flipping around, and I’m always sore the next day. You’re never too old for gymnastics, right?
When I got home, I was ready for lunch, so I whipped up a Greek Salad that hit the spot.
I’m clearly still obsessed with feta. This salad was delicious, but since it’s so low in calories, I was still kind of hungry. For “dessert” I had a tablespoon of peanut butter. Hey, when you know what you want, you might as well eat it.
I snacked around during the afternoon. A handful of cereal, the other half of the grapefruit from breakfast. You know how it goes.
Dinner was the White Pizza Scramble I posted on Monday.
I also had one two glasses of wine, and a bowl of Special K Cinnamon Pecan cereal before going to bed.
Overall, I tried to mix up my meals a little for a little more fat and protein, and a little less carbs. There might have been some confusion on Monday’s post… I’m not cutting back on calories what-so-ever. I’m just mixing things up a bit since I’ve been in a bit of a rut! I still had plenty of fruit and cereal, but I definitely noticed I felt more full and satisfied when my meals contained a good mix of protein and fat.
National PB month? How in the world did I not know this??!!! Thank you my dear for informing all of us… and of course sharing those awesome recipes 🙂
Oh man, I love that Special K Cinnamon Pecan cereal… so yummy!
This looks like a WIAW I could have posted. Everything looks so good and that greek salad is the key to my heart right there!
Hahaha we should do a WIAW swap sometime 😉
I love grapefruit and need to eat the two in my fridge. I’ll have some as a snack tonight thanks to your post. I need to look into that adult tumbling class…sounds fun!

According to a commenter, grapefruit with cinnamon is good!! I’m definitely going to try it!
Aww, I hope you feel better soon! Colds are no fun at all. Your Greek salad looks delish 😀
That greek salad looks so good and simple! I love feta too – actually I love most cheese (: But feta in salads is so delicious!
Tumbling sounds fun. I took tumbling as a little one and still remember how to do the elephant walk 🙂
Hope you’re feeling better.
My eats will be all over the place today – busy day. But last night I made turkey & mushroom sloppy joes so I’ll have those for dinner.
Ah, I’m so jealous of your tumbling class @ your game. It sounds like such a fun and awesome workout! What sorts of gymnastics do you do?
oh & of course all of your meals look delicious 🙂
We do all kinds of tumbling on the floor and the tumble track! Lots of backhandsprings, back tucks, a little front tumbling 🙂 Every class is an adventure!
Love me a spinach salad with balsamic! Funny, I never buy spinach or dress my greens (I always blend the poor leaves) but whenever I get spinach salads I enjoy them so much!
I’m eating a frozen banana blended with cocoa powder, prunes, almond milk and walnuts. Topped with amaranth cereal, sprouted buckwheat, hemp and sunflower seeds. Woohoo!
Hahaha spinach doesn’t last in my fridge either! I always end up tossing it in the blender!
I’m the same way as you, I feel so much more satisfied when my meals contain protein & fat. I’m not as snacky and can enjoy my day without constantly wondering when I’ll get to eat again.
Your salad looks delish!
