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?
That granola looks fantastic!! Or at least that looks like granola!! I can’t wait to see the recipe!
Best thing I ate today? Whole wheat spaghetti and turkey meatballs! And butternut squash with kale, broccoli and mushrooms. AND a smoothie and a muffin π It was ALL good!
I think that your lame food is totally awesome. I don’t consider it lame at all because that is what I usually eat. So I guess I can be lame with you!
The best way to encourage others to eat healthier is eat healthy food and show everyone what they’re missing. My ex used to always end up trying to finish my dinners because they looked so much better than his.
Haha I like that strategy! Especially because healthy food is usually so colorful!
That picture is gorgeous! What a cool place to be able to run!
Ok, I’m lame too and eat the same thing every stinking day usually……
I’m in love with popchips, like seriously have a fetish. Help me!
Your dinner looks really good!!!
xxoo
The salt and pepper flavor is my FAVORITE!
I got my boyfriend to start eating more vegetables by always eating them around him and by cooking them in different ways. He always thought brussels were gross for instance but as soon as I started roasting them he got interested!!! Now he eats them all the time and even buys healthier oatmeal. lol. So, I say example is the best way mixed with a little encouragement.
I totally can’t wait for the granola recipe!!
The best thing I ate/drank yesterday was some new lemonade green tea I found at Trader Joe’s. It is amazing! I don’t normally like tea but I do now. I wish my husband would go for a run with me sometimes. He has a bad knee though so he always uses that as an excuse. I have to wonder how then can he play basketball three nights a week…hmmmm. π Thanks for stopping by my blog. Don’t be a stranger!
