Tuesday’s Eats
There’s something kind of odd about cataloging your eats for the day. If you’ve ever kept a food journal, you know that just being aware of what you eat, often causes you to make better choices. It’s strange, but it tends to work. It’s probably also a little strange that I find it fascinating to see what others are eating. It gives me inspiration and recipe ideas, and often, it motivates me to try something new.
I’ve been doing these posts for awhile now and hopefully today’s post, strange though it may be for some of you, will encourage and inspire you to eat more fruits and veggies! Here’s a little “What I Ate Tuesday“.
Breakfast
I rolled out of bed at 5:30am to go to spin class (read all about that here) and although I wasn’t hungry, I managed to eat half an apple to give me a little fuel during the class. Once I got home, I had the other half of the apple, plus a couple of slices of toast and a mug of coffee. If you haven’t tried Food For Life Bread before, check it out. It’s delicious and super good for you. Peanut butter just wasn’t sounding great (who am I?) so I just spread a little butter on top.
Lunch
I was able to get lunch with my brother, which was so fun. I love that we work at the same company, so we can squeeze in lunch dates every now and then. I had a sandwich from Which-Wich, which was a lettuce wrap filled with hummus, feta, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red peppers. It was awesome. I love their lettuce wraps! Veggies inside a veggie? Win-win.
In the afternoon, I had half of a Thin Thin bar, and when I got home, I had another slice of toast. We weren’t eating until later and I was so hungry when I walked in the door, I knew I needed something to tide me over! Of course, I saved room for dinner…
Dinner
My roommates and I decided to have a little dinner date at Mellow Mushroom. We shared some spinach dip, and then Rachel and I split this Kosmic Karma pizza. We got a small and still took half home, because it was so filling! One piece was all I could handle, (probably due to that spinach dip…) but it was SO good! Feta + Pesto = delicious.
Despite eating both lunch and dinner at restaurants, I felt pretty good about the day. I definitely worked up an appetite and spin class, but I also didn’t totally stuff myself with pizza. Balance, that’s what we’re after here, right?
I seriously need to get to a Mellow Mushroom sometime soon….that pizza looks absolutely awesome!
Liz! Are you ok? Are you sick? Peanut butter-less toast!?!? I’m worried!!!! Hehe π Everything looks great as always!
I KNOW! I haven’t even been eating it straight from the jar! What’s happening to me?! π
Ohhhh that pizza. Pesto is a magic word for me, especially on pizza. I haven’t had pizza for about a month! Crazy. I think I’m going to get some with my dad at a local place when he visits next weekend. This post just helped me decide for sure π
Girl, you need some pesto in your life! π
Note to Self: Don’t read WIAW posts at 11:30 AM. So hungry for lunch now! I adore Which Wich AND Mellow Mushroom and the Kosmic Karma is the best. I know what you mean though, so filling!
Haha Wednesdays in the blog world always make me hungry!
Love that tea towel from Target. I have a few from there that are similar!
YES! It’s not like I needed one… but it was so cute!
Isn’t it funny how we can love our peanut butter yet not feel like it at certain times? It happens to me too, not often, but it happens. You have totally put spin back in my mind btw, I need to get to a class.
you eat extremely well little lady. getting hungry just reading this (is it lunch yet??)
Hahaha as of right now, I’ve had pizza every day for the past 3 days… π no complaints here!
That pizza looks delicious! I’ve been craving pizza like crayyyyy π
I’m a huge AB lover myself, but sometimes nothing beats plain old butter on toast — there’s definitely beauty in simplicity. And I’m thinking that some kind of soup and sandwich combo is going to be on the menu for todayβ¦ It’s all sorts of gloomy here right now, so that sounds super comforting.
For some reason I’ve totally been craving the butter + toast combo! I’ve had it a few days in a row now!
that pizza looks SO GOOD. I want some now!
