Tone It Up Meals: Week 2
I fully intended to give you a recap of our trip to Philadelphia in the form of the delicious meals that I ate, but then I much failed to take a lot of pictures. I’d be a pretty terrible travel blogger because truthfully, sometimes I don’t want to take pictures when I’m traveling. So I did manage to capture some of the noteworthy meals on Snapchat and Instagram but I failed at documenting a full day of eating. Whoops! So I thought I’d just show you what I ate yesterdayĀ while attempting to get back on track after the trip with the Tone It Up challenge.
I skipped my normal smoothie bowl and had a yogurt bowl instead. I’m still all about the toppings. This one was frozen blueberries, frozen cherries, chia seeds, and coconut. YUM.
I packed an apple and cashews for a morning snack but I ended up only eating the cashews. I started sitting at a new desk at work and the area is so quiet. I didn’t want to be the person loudly eating an apple so… I skipped it.
For lunch, I headed to the cafeteria for a quick bite. I made this giant salad and pretty much ate it as fast as I could before my next meeting.Ā A bit later, the candy cart came by (yes, we have a cart that brings free candy straight to your desk) so I had a little cup of gummy bears. I hadn’t had any for a while so it was a nice little treat!
The afternoon was pretty busy with meetings so it went by quickly. After work, I met up with Alex and a friend at En Su Boca, a local Mexican restaurant.
I normally just get tacos but I decided to try something different. This was the burrito bowl with rice, black beans, cheese, veggies, salsa, and avocado. This was so good but definitely a lot of food. Alex and I ended up sharing it.
Once we got home, we went for a walk and I squeezed in a couple of the Tone It Up workouts. Every day is different and Tuesday was hard because I was still sore from Monday! After I finished, Alex and I watched a little TV and I snacked on a few frozen grapes and a little bit of popcorn. I’m not sure why I was feeling so snacky but I’ll blame it on the workouts.
What’s your favorite yogurt topping?
Iām linking up with Arman for What I Ate Wednesday!
I can’t believe you have a candy cart at work! That’s insane! incredibly dangerous!! š
That candy cart sounds so dangerous! and that burrito bowl is definitely something I would love! It looks so good.
xo,

Hemps seeds are def my favorite yogurt topping! Your salads look so yummy. I’m jealous!
OMG a candy cart! It would be so hard for me to pass on everyday. You should request they bring healthy snacks around so you don’t feel loud eating your apple š
How did I not know you came up to Philadelphia? Oh my, so close to me (literally 5 miles!). I hope you had a great time.
Oh man!! I didn’t know you were so close!! I’m bummed we didn’t get to meet up!
bahahaha I love that you skipped the apple so that you weren’t loud – you are so considerate. I totally would’ve munched away š
Ah! I love a good burrito bowl and that one looks delicious!
That burrito bowl looks amazing. I love being able to pile veggies and toppings into those things! I’m also always jealous of your cafeteria at work. Technically, I could eat at ours on campus, but it’s like $11 for lunch, which always seems so high.
Haha I wrote my comment and then realized it started the exact same as Melissa’s. You have a candy cart!?! That’s the cutest thing I’ve heard in a long while. Does the candy change up every week!?
I hate it when I have an apple but its really quiet around and I don’t want to be annoying with my chomp-chomping, aha! Delicious day of eats.
Haha yeah there are like a dozen types of candy on it! It comes by every Tuesday!! And yes, I need to find quieter fruit to eat!! Haha
You have a candy card at work? That is so amazing. And that burrito bowl looks delicious!
