It’s time for me to link up with Jenn and share my food journal and WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday). 

I wasn’t really feeling eggs yesterday morning, but Ava was sleeping so I couldn’t use the blender to make a shake. I took some leftover broccoli and mushrooms and placed 2 over easy eggs on top, with a whole grain english muffin on the side. I’m glad I didn’t have that shake, it was tasty!

Mid morning after my clients, I had a big piece of Egg Frittata with kale mushrooms & tomato. I also enjoyed banana with some peanut butter.

Lunch was a BIG salad. My salad had rommaine, cucumbers, tomatoes, red peppers, avocado, chicken & lemon juice with some red wine vinegar. It was delicious.

I also had a small piece of gluten free cheese pizza.. it wasn’t that great though. It was a little too dry for me, maybe I should’ve warmed it up.

I was craving chocolate milk in the afternoon. I guess if I have a craving and its somewhat healthy that’s a good thing. I decided to buy some Silk Chocolate milk. I didn’t read the label and this milk definitely has more sugar then I expected but it was chocolatey and delicious so who cares! I also had a bowl of Fennel & Apple salad that Marc made. I am so mad there wasn’t more of it.

Dinner was a Zucchini topped with a Chicken Bolognese. I try and keep my pre workout meals simple. Veggies deserved to be smothered in meat sauce.

I had some Kabocha squash on the side.. I know it is pretty random but I was in the mood 

Post Boot Camp I opted for a Protein Shake with almond milk. Marc also cooked up some plantains that he lightly fried in coconut oil! This has become a tradition on Tuesday nights and I don’t mind it at all…. especially when I don’t have to cook them

That wraps up my day of eating!! Your turn, what yummy food did you eat?

Do you like Fennel? 

Have you ever tried Kabocha Squash?

Anyways, lets talk about some of the things I am loving this week:

The Dolphin Hop exercise (in case you missed yesterdays post)… we practiced it again last night in Boot camp class. I know you all loved it!

I typically only drink water and a little coffee in the morning, however these POLAND SPRING SPARKLERS are pretty good. Sometimes you need a little flavor in your life.

Plus bubbles taste different.

I had a couple chocolate cravings this week, and this Dark Chocolate Nut & Sea Salt KIND Bar did the trick. The sprinkle of sea salt on the top adds a whole other element!

 I constantly have my clients ask me for Snack ideas. Yes, these are CHICKPEAS but they are coated with cinnamon and a tiny bit of sugar, so you get a delicious combo of sweet, salty & crunchy all in one…. you should try them! They also come in other flavors.

VITAMIN WATER.. I don’t drink these all the time but I do like them before and after workouts on occasion. Sometimes they are a little sweet so I will mix 1/2 of it with water to dilute it. This one is high in B-vitamins and I really like the fruit punch flavor.

I think these should make the post every week, but I love that Stop & Shop sells PLANTAIN CHIPS now.

Read the label closely…. at the top it says “Healthy Addiction.” That makes me laugh.

These should really come in a large bucket though, because honestly this container doesn’t last long!

annnddd last but not least this post wouldn’t be complete without this picture of Ava.

My girl climbs everything, literally everything! We are in trouble….

Happy Friday!!

I am so happy the weekend is finally here. It has been a fast but long week.. I don’t think that makes sense but the week somehow flew by, even though we have had some long nights with Ava! She has been sick with a cough that has been keeping us awake at night. We have been running low in the sleep department and I am looking forward to a weekend of rest!

Here are a few things I have been loving this week!

Apple with peanut butter.. it is refreshing and filling at the same time. I have eaten this almost every day this week as a snack. I have even used almond butter to change it up.

Protein/meal replacement shake yesterday pre & post workout I tried this bode shake. It was thick and filling, I had the vanilla flavor.. and I’m thinking the chocolate flavor will be better because I prefer chocolate any day over vanilla!

Veggie Chips.. When I am looking for a crunchy salty snack these hit the spot.

Coconut water… did you know coconut water is high in potassium? This container has 510 mg of potassium! It is great post workout and also for extra electrolytes throughout the day.

Cranberry trail mix.. I love the yellow raisins!

Last but not least.. this morning I had some green tea with lemon in my favorite mug from Ava!!

 Have a great Friday!
