Happy Hump Day!
Yesterday was an easy day of eating for me. It was easy because I had a fridge full of food thanks to all my food prep on Sunday. I didn’t have much to put together for the day or even think about which made my food choices a no brainer.
I’m joining Jenn for another What I Ate Wednesday (WIAW) post.
I woke up around 6 am, had a quick cup of coffee and got myself dressed. As I was getting ready I threw my breakfast together 1 egg 1 cup egg whites, spinach & mushrooms in olive oil, & potato hash browns.
I think I have told you a million times before but I LOVE breakfast and this is not hard to make. I left the house around 7am to head to the YMCA.
My morning snack came a little earlier yesterday. I originally had a yogurt bowl planned but I wanted something warm. I opted for some oatmeal with almond milk, cinnamon, & sliced strawberries. Plus a tsp of peanut butter.
I then took Ava to her 10:15am Dr appointment… miss Ava wasn’t feeling well but luckily she just had a juicy cold and not an ear infection.
I wasn’t feeling so hot myself. My throat was a little scratchy. I opted for some plain leftover food. Grilled chicken with herbs & olive oil, Broccoli and a sweet potato. (all leftovers thank you meal prep) I also had several handfuls of Ava’s Cheerios.. she had no appetite but managed to eat cheerios with me so I shoved a few handfuls in my mouth!!
Around 3 pm I headed over to my parents house. My dad and I whipped up my Green Monster Smoothie recipe and we split a big batch of it. He LOVED it and I was happy he did. It is definitely an easy way to sneak in some spinach. I also figured if I wasn’t feeling great I should probably put some extra healthy goodness into my stomach.
Plus smoothies feel great on a sore throat.
My dinner was already made from Sunday and I loved not having to cook. We ate Chicken, Kale, Tomatoes, with Garlic & Oil. Also not pictured was some potatoes. As I ate my dinner I was emailing back and forth with my boot campers because the snow was starting to get bad. I had no idea it was supposed to stick let alone accumulate fast.
While I finished up my food I had to make a call on class and I decided to cancel. The roads looked horrible and they sure were. As I drove home there were 3 accidents and the roads were slippery. I guess I made the right call.
I decided to do a quick 20 minute bodyweight workout at home once Ava fell asleep. I even managed to do a few sets of close grip pull-ups and I was SUPER pleased with them. To finish my night I had my Shakeology with PB2.
That wraps up my day of eating!
What’s your favorite meal of the day?
I need to mix up my snacks, does anyone have a suggestion for me?

Stopping by from Jenn’s WIAW. Hello! I love grilled chicken with a little olive oil and herbs. Such an easy dish. Your breakfast looks delicious, too. I have to restock my fridge with some baby spinach and mushrooms, stat!

Hi Marnie!! Sometimes the simple foods taste the best. Mushrooms & Spinach are definitely some of my staple breakfast veggies. You should definitely get some

I LOVE having meals prepped for me! Right now I have leftover chili and cornbread which is perfect for quick lunches. That breakfast sounds delish, but it would be more of a lunch for me – I always have a sweet breakfast!
