What I [Really] Ate Wednesday
Confession: Sometimes I’m super lame, and I eat the same thing over and over, and so I don’t actually show you want I ate in a day.
But Jen, our lovely host queen of WIAW made a request via twitter (if you’re not following me, you should be. I’m super awesome):
Ok Jen! This one is for you π
Breakfast:
- 1 medium banana
- 1 cup soymilk
- Tons of ice
- pinch of xanthan gum (it makes it thick!)
- crumbled ginger cat cookies (I’m still obsessed with ginger)
Lunch
- Black bean soup (recycled picture. You think I could actually get that kind of photo at my desk?) Click here for the recipe
- Salad from the cafeteria: lettuce + carrots + lentils + couscous + balsamic vinegar
- Popchips! (I’ve still got lots of these left!)
Afternoon snack
- Apple (unpictured because I’m pretty sure you know what an apple looks like)
Dinner
I warned you, I’ve been super lame lately.
- Fage 0% plain greek yogurt
- Blueberries
- Almond extract + stevia
- Slices almonds
Night time snack
Oh. My. Gosh. This stuff was amazing.
But you’ll have to come back Friday for the recipe π
Exercise
I don’t even normally call this out, but I have to mention that G-love willingly got his butt out of bed at 6:45, just to go on a run with me. I don’t think you understand how incredible that was. We only ran a couple of miles, but the weather was beautiful!
As if that wasn’t enough… he said he thought he might want to start eating yogurt in the morning. (Granted, this was being said as he was eating leftover pizza from the night before… but still.) Is it possible that the boy who hates vegetables is turning over a new leaf?









I’ve found that the best way is to lead by example…people are natually curious and I’ve found that sometimes eating healthy is intriguing enough to encourage it in others! (;
love the last pic, too! gorgeous.
xo
That granola look good. Can’t wait to see the recipe friday. π
You’re magic, girl. How you got the King of Reese Puffs to even think about something healthy is beyond me. Though I have rubbed off on my manly friend a bit in that he now eats oatmeal with pb and apples every morning. But exercise is still lightyears away.
Hahah that’s still progress!!! Honestly, I couldn’t believe he ran without me begging!!
Hmm, is that Kashi Berry Crunch in the last picture? If not, it looks like it and it is oh so very good!
Best thing I ate yesterday? Probably my TJ’s maple cookie π
Haha nope! It’s homemade granola π And it is SO good!!!!! π
Definitely not boring by any means girl… your eats are fabulous!!
I tend to scare people into eating healthy I think… like artificial food dyes cause cancer… so I’m not the best one to give advice lol =)
seeeeeee told you so liz!! =) hi lisa!
mmm cookies in a smoothie sounds like a plan to me π I’ve still never tried popchips, maybe one day! Then again its probably best I dont lol
Best thing I ate was the lentil meatloaf I made!
Lentil meatloaf sounds like amazing comfort food!
you’re changing him for the good!! gooo liz!!!
I like following awesome people, especially super awesome people π So I clicked “follow” hehe. I’m @racheledwards6 xx
I think your eats look fab! Happy WIAW π
I’ve still never tried PopChips. I need to get it together π Looks like a yummy day of eats, and I often eat the same things over and over too!
