Weekend Eats
I woke up yesterday with a sore throat and a bit of a head cold. My meals always get a little thrown off when I’m feeling under the weather, so I thought it would be more fun to show you what my meals looked like on Sunday.
Because I was awake before my roommates, I decided not to wake up the entire house with my jet-engine-esque blender, and opted for yogurt, blueberries, and half a grapefruit. Sunday mornings also include a cup or two of coffee!
After breakfast, I got my workout in at Gym Quest, in their adult tumbling class. It’s so much fun flipping around, and I’m always sore the next day. You’re never too old for gymnastics, right?
When I got home, I was ready for lunch, so I whipped up a Greek Salad that hit the spot.
I’m clearly still obsessed with feta. This salad was delicious, but since it’s so low in calories, I was still kind of hungry. For “dessert” I had a tablespoon of peanut butter. Hey, when you know what you want, you might as well eat it.
I snacked around during the afternoon. A handful of cereal, the other half of the grapefruit from breakfast. You know how it goes.
Dinner was the White Pizza Scramble I posted on Monday.
I also had one two glasses of wine, and a bowl of Special K Cinnamon Pecan cereal before going to bed.
Overall, I tried to mix up my meals a little for a little more fat and protein, and a little less carbs. There might have been some confusion on Monday’s post… I’m not cutting back on calories what-so-ever. I’m just mixing things up a bit since I’ve been in a bit of a rut! I still had plenty of fruit and cereal, but I definitely noticed I felt more full and satisfied when my meals contained a good mix of protein and fat.
Kinda looks like a greek sorta day! Had an onion and spinach scrambled egg concoction for breakfast, a salad for lunch… and date night, prolly steak for dinner tonight!
adult tumbling class? How awesome are you!!
I hope you’re feeling a little better… my eats are always super random (often bad) when I’m under the weather because I get the “f it” feeling. Meh.
I’m making eggplant parmeasean soup tonight. I don’t always have the best luck cooking with eggplant so fingers crossed that this turns out as delicious as it sounds in my head!
Adult tumbling class! How cool. Good for you.
Looks like a very healthy day, indeed.
Mmm grapefruit is the best, especially with yogurt! Happy WIAW Liz!
Ohh I cant even remember the last time I had grapefruit but could totally use some right now…especially sprinkled with cinnamon!
Oh yum! I’ve never tried it with cinnamon!
yes! i’ve definitely found that having more fat/protein leaves me more satisfied with the same calorie count. (as i said on your post yesterday, but it’s worth saying twice 😉 )
i hate planning my breakfasts around roommates. i’m looking forward to a smoothie tomorrow, but it won’t happen if my roommate stays here. good thing breakfast is so easy to have back-ups plans for!
and i could eat that salad right now. at 8am. LOVE feta and red onion.
adult tumbling class? now if that doesn’t sound like fun i don’t know what does!
Right? It’s so much fun! And it’s such a different workout!
I’m looking forward to some incredible leftovers for lunch (roasted cauliflower tahini salad) and some delicious popcorn with a movie tonight after class 🙂
