Wednesday Eats & New Goals
Let me guess. You woke up this morning and were just dying to know what I’ve been eating lately.
No? Well… too bad. Because it’s What I Ate Wednesday over at Peas & Crayons and this is what I’ve been eating lately:
Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato Soup from Trader Joe’s. It’s creamy and delicious!
I’ve also been munching on this salad combo:
That’s your basic salad ingredients topped with:
- 2 tbsp hummus
- 1 tbsp Annie’s Honey Mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice (to thin)
- 1 tbsp chopped almonds
Yummm so simple and so delicious. I didn’t know I liked honey mustard until I had that sandwich on Sunday, and it was served with some honey mustard sauce.
I’ve also been eating a lot of spaghetti squash, topped with Light Ragu and nutritional yeast. YUM!
Sunday night I was feeling nostalgic and made some classic Toll House Cookies.
Which meant eating way too much cookie dough 😉 But hey, sometimes you can’t help it!
As for workouts, I’ve really been trying to push myself harder. Working with a trainer makes me realize how much more I could do. My newest goal? Pull ups. I literally can’t do one. However, my trainer showed me out to do them using a resistance band. You basically hook the band to the bar, and step into it, so it kind of helps you up as shown here:

I’ve been doing a lot of them and my shoulders are sore! Bonnie would be so proud.
Pull ups- awesome or impossible?
What have you been eating lately?

Love spaghetti squash…until I got a rotten one last time and there were “things” growing inside…eww
EW!!!! That’s so gross!!! I’d be scarred for awhile. Yuck!
Awwww, SNAP.
Pull-ups are the SHIT, yo.
I seriously don’t think there is a better full-body workout than pull-ups. It works your shoulders, arms, biceps, forearms, abs, chest, back — It’s amazing.
You’ll get it!
