What I Ate [in D.C.] Wednesday
Last week was Manhattan, this week, it’s D.C.! I’m up in Northern Virginia for a couple of days for work, so it’s nothing major, but it does throw my food routine off a little bit. I’ve learned to be flexible!
Morning
I started the day off with some protein packed Chobani with blueberries and a bit of the Love Grown Granola, that I got from the Blogger’s Brunch on Sunday. Sooooo delicious! I think I could eat this combo at any time, any day, for any meal. Yes, it’s that good (and I am that boring).
Lunch
By the time lunch rolled around, I was pretty hungry. Thankfully, there were some healthy options. I had some roasted vegetables, orzo pasta, and some greens with a raspberry vinegrette. (I also had half of an unpictured brownie…)
After lunch I also snagged an apple, which I munched on around 4pm.
Workout
We got out of the conference a bit early, so I had time to squeeze in a super quick workout. Maybe it was because I was pressed for time, and wanted to get a really efficient workout, but however it happened… I PRed a mile!
I know this isn’t fast compared to a lot of you, but as Meg said, it’s not about beating anyone but yourself! I’ve never really run for time, so it was fun to actually see a mile go by so fast!
Dinner
Ahh the awkward trying-to-take-a-picture-at-a-work-function situation. I actually totally forgot until after I had consumed some salad, broccoli, and spaghetti! We also had cheesecake for dessert, which was heavenly! I could only squeeze in a few bites, but it was excellent!
This definitely wasn’t a “normal” day of eating, but it was a fun Tuesday for sure! I’m learning to chill out about an “off” day. And besides, maybe it’s all that food that powered me through that mile so fast 😉
I hope you’re all having a fabulous week!
I’m pretty picky about sticking to my food routine when traveling. It usually involves packing food to take with (apples, nuts, home-made granola bars) and trying to stay in a hotel within walking distance of a Whole Foods! I’m in DC next week – love traveling there!
I love that you still eat well AND workout on the road! It can be hard to do – well done! Enjoy D.C.!
Haha! I know what you mean about that awkward trying-to-take-a-food-photo-with-professional-people-around. Ah, the joys of being a blogger, haha!
haha I know, right? Most of my friends are used to it, but it’s still awkward at work!
Way to go with that mile!! It’s definitely all about challenging yourself, not being the best. That’s why I love running!
I have to admit to being such a creature of habit, any change throws me! Having said that, if a dinner – and cheesecake – like that was involved, I’m sure I could cope 🙂
I could eat that breakfast combination at any time of day, any number of times a day, too, you can’t beat it!
Haha cheesecake is a good way to break a routine 😉
I’m not big on routine, so I definitely like it when things are a little off kilter!
yay for a PR! congrats liz!
So much travel! And heck, it’s nice to be thrown off schedule every once in a while, even if it seems uncomfortable at first. It’s too easy to get tied down to a routine!
I use to really freak out if my routine was off, but I am totally use to it by now. Seems that my routine it always off track!
Haha I know! It feels like my routine is off more than it’s on!
YES that is my perfect breakfast (or lunch, snack, dinner): Chobani, blueberries, LoveGrown. Done. 🙂
I have trouble when my schedule’s thrown off, especially when I’m traveling or commuting. It’s tough, but we’ve all got to do our best to adapt.
Congrats on your PR! Thats certainly fast to me!
Isn’t Love Grown amazing?!
