What I Ate: Monday
I thought I’d do a little day-in-the-life style post to capture what I ate on Monday. Ready?
6:30- Alex’s alarm goes off. We hit snooze for a few more minutes.
6:45- My alarm goes off. We hit snooze again. (It’s cold and neither of us want to get up.)
6:55- I peel my eyes open and grab my phone. I watch the Tastemade Snapchat story & check Timehop.
7:00- I head downstairs and turn on the Keriug, popping in a coconut mocha k-cup. (FYI- those are the best.)
7:15- I read the daily She Reads Truth devotional and flip through a few of my favorite blogs while eating breakfast.
Today it’s 2% Fage Greek yogurt + wild blueberries + homemade peanut butter cup granola. I don’t know if I can really tell that much of a difference between the 0% Greek yogurt and the 2% but I think the 2% keeps me a little fuller in the morning.
7:45- I chop veggies & tempeh and get them marinating in the fridge to make dinner prep easier. I know I’ll be home late so it helps to have something that can just be popped in the oven!
8:00- I head to work, check emails, and spend more of the morning dodging pieces of falling ceiling. They started construction a little earlier than planned on our office space so the morning is a bit chaotic as they remove TVs from the wall next to me.
11:00- My coworkers and I pack up and work from the cafeteria in a different building, since the construction has gotten a little crazy. My stomach is rumbling by 11:30.
11:45- We all grab lunch from the cafeteria and eat during a meeting. I went with a pretty simple salad of veggies + chickpeas + black beans with a few pieces of flatbread crackers. This kept me surprisingly full.
2:00- I head over to a different building and walk on the treadmill desk while answering emails. Gotta get my steps in! Once I’m back at my desk, I snack on an apple and a cup of coffee. I try not to drink coffee too late in the day but this one was needed.
5:15- I leave work and head to the mall to return some pants to Gap. (Don’t you hate when they change the fit of your favorite pants?! Why do they do that??)
6:00- I meet up with a couple of friends at Gym Quest to work out. My back is sore from gymnastics the day before but it feels good to stretch it out! We spend most of the evening vaulting and working on the tumble track.
7:30- I call Alex and ask him to preheat the oven and I head home from the gym. We have roasted onion and brussles sprouts with tempeh. It was good but it needs some tweaking before I share it. It was a good way to use up the tempeh and get lots of protein in for dinner though!
8:00- I watch an episode of 30 Rock with Alex while I enjoy a scoop of the leftover ice cream from making this ice cream pie.
9:00- I check on some blog stuff, browse pinterest, and clean up the house. Alex has been organizing the basement so I sort through the boxes for a bit.
10:15- We head up to bed and it’s lights out!
Are you a morning person or a night owl?
I’m linking up with Peas & Crayons for What I Ate Wednesday!
I’m not really a morning person, but I have a toddler that kind of forces it out of me, sooo..
Your salad looks so tasty! What kind of cafeteria do you have, a salad bar?
Our cafeteria is HUGE So we actually have tons of options. I usually go with soup and/or a salad. The salad bar even has things like kale and quinoa! I feel pretty lucky!
Coconut mocha K-cup sounds amazing!! I am definitely go to look for those at the store. I also definitely have to try making your peanut butter cup granola – it looks heavenly. I am definitely a morning person. Once it gets dark out (which is like 4pm here) I am ready for my bed hah
I loooove the coconut mocha kcups. I drink my coffee black so I love having the flavor in the beans!
I hear ya! Sometimes a little fat helps keep the tummy happy! That granola and those K-cups sounds so good!
I used to be a night person but I’m SUCH a morning person nowadays. I try to get up from my desk and take a walk outside twice a day but unpredictable winter weather can make that hard this time of year. I’m trying to give myself a pep talk to brave the wind right now 🙂
I am not a morning person but I am also not a night person. I think I am starting to become a morning person…now if only it could be earlier enough that I could get on the treadmill that would be great!
It looks like your cafeteria actually has some good options! I’m jealous. 🙂
I also take time to prep dinner first thing in the morning. It makes it so much easier when you get home after a long workout to just pop it in the oven and eat.
I’m definitely not a morning person but these short nights are making it so hard for me to find the energy to work out. But it’s so cold in the morning, I don’t want to get out of bed! Basically, I suck this time of year, lol.
