Tone It Up Meals Week 3
If we’re being totally honest (isn’t that the point of this?) I haven’t really been keeping it lean, clean, & green lately. I’ve been doing alright, consider how insanely busy life has been, but Sunday is a better picture than how I’ve been eating every single day. As much as I’d like to pretend that every day is this great. But hey, you win some you lose some. Here’s what I ate on Sunday!
I started off with a bowl of 0% Fage yogurt topped with blueberries and some of this cinnamon applesauce granola. If I could tell you to make one fall recipe, that granola recipe would be it.
I got some stuff done around the house and then went to gymnastics. I hadn’t been in awhile so it was a nice workout. After the gym, I got a pedicure with a few girlfriends. It was so relaxing! By the time I got home it was after 2 and I was SO ready for lunch. I wanted something fast so I heated up these madras lentils.
I used to eat these all the time when I was single and didn’t cook as often. They’re really good and they’re fairly nutritious.
I also snacked on some hummus with carrots, and crackers. Clearly I was hungry!
Alex and I finished some lesson planning and then went to church. After the service, we hung out with some of the elementary schoolers for a lesson. We also snacked on some chips, salsa, and chili! It was a delicious spread but I didn’t get a chance to snap a picture. I was too busy trying keep sour cream from ending up on the carpet.
I ate quite a bit with the kiddos but I was meeting Lindsay at Ellwoods so I couldn’t pass up on some of the hot bar options!
If you’re a long time blog reader, you’ll probably remember that Lindsay and I were roommates back in the day, so she’s used to me taking pictures of my food. ? It was so nice getting to catch up! She’s been in Asheville getting her nursing degree but she will be back in Richmond soon and I can’t wait! Lindsay and I met thanks to the internet and we became fast friends thanks to her willingness for adventure!
Once I got home, I had a little Halo Top for something sweet before bed. Have you tried any of the new flavors yet?!
So far, peanut butter cup has been my favorite but I haven’t tried them all yet! If you’re curious about Halo Top, you can read my Halo Top Ice Cream review here! This definitely hit the spot.
What is your current favorite treat?
I’m linking up with Laura for What I Ate Wednesday!
Ahh just reading this now! Woo woo! I’ll need to try this whole Halo Top you keep talking about soon…
I really want to try Halo Top. It’s popping up everywhere!
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with not eating all healthy healthy healthy all the time. I’m sure you haven’t been eating (veggie) burgers and fries with nary a green for every meal, huh ;)? I feel that especially as healthy living bloggers/healthy eaters we hold ourselves to way too high standards at times. What feels ‘unhealthy’ to us is perfectly fine with the normal intuitive eater. Just my two cents here.
Everything you ate looks so good!
Random question and you must have mentioned it before but what kind of lessons were Alex and you planning?
Fall flavored granola is my favorite and I have yet to make some yet this year. I need to get on that this weekend. And I heard Halo Top came out with new flavors, that oatmeal cookie flavor is calling my name!
I just tried the oatmeal cookie one! It’s good!
I think we have all been there before and I wouldn’t worry too much. You have a lot on your plate. Your food this week does look good!
Peanut Butter Cup sounds like a really good flavor for Halo Top! That’s neat that you get to interact with elementary schoolers after church.
The peanut butter cup one is sooooo good! And yes! The kids are SO fun!
I have STILL yet to try Halo Top. My normal grocery store doesn’t carry it, but I jsut found out that another location a bit further does! I go there occasionally (there’s a drive through Starbucks on the way, soooo..) and next time I go I am DEFINITELY picking it uP!
Girl, you gotta try it!!! The mocha chip and peanut butter flavors are probably my favorite so far!
Things have to alter when you are busy. That’s life. But it looks like to me you are continuing on with real good, nutritious eats even with less time. I want to try Halo Top. I think peanut butter would definitely be my favorite.
I saw that Halo Top came out with new flavors, but I haven’t tried any yet. I need to put that on my list for sure!!
Yes! You gotta try ’em!
Yum! I neeeeed to try that granola! Is there any dairy in those lentils? They look really good!
There is a little bit of cream in the lentils I think, unfortunately! But I do have a couple of easy lentil recipes that are vegan! 🙂
