Happy Wednesday everyone!!
This week is once again a busy one, but it’s also a short work week for Marc and I. We have my best friends wedding this weekend and I am super excited for the festivities to begin.
I know my blog posts are sporadic these past 2 weeks but hang in there with me, after this weekend I feel like my time is freeing up a bit more!! I feel like every day I have something new and exciting to share with you, its really just finding the time to sit down for 30+ minutes to write out my thoughts, my experiences and my tips with you!
I’m linking up with the WIAW crew to share my food journal with you from Monday.
I chose Monday because I was busy and on-the-go but I still made health conscious decisions.
My morning started off early in preparation for my Group Power class. Monday mornings always feel a bit tougher to get out of bed, but for some reason I woke up before my alarm that morning and I went with it. I quickly got changed made some coffee and started whipping up my breakfast.
I had 2 eggs spinach toast homemade pumpkin spice coffee! It was delicious. This morning was a bit different for me. Ava was still sleeping when I left the house at 710am and I usually get to see her before I leave for work but I didn’t!! It definitely felt weird, but I was excited to see her after my class when she was playing at daycare
After my group power workout I always refuel with a simple vanilla protein shake mixed with water.
That class makes my appetite come back in full force. I also had a banana and oatmeal with peanut butter.
I usually have about an hour to eat a snack and get Ava a snack and changed in between my 2 classes, but it doesn’t seem like an hour the time flies and we are back at the YMCA for my second class (Fit For Life). I really worked them hard on Monday and I could tell by the end everyone was tired but was excited for some of the new exercises we practiced. It was great.
For lunch I ate 1/2 of my leftover chicken marsala with mixed veggies & potatoes.
SOOO GOOD.
I also ate this delicious apple.
While Ava napped I did coaching & computer work. My new 21 day challenge started on Monday so I had a lot of stuff to complete and I was thankful for a long nap so I could get everything done
My afternoon snack was this yummy Vanilla Shakeology with Raspberries & more peanut butter!
It was super filling and fueled me for our 30 minute walk with Cooper. By the time I got home I started cooking dinner. Ava didn’t want to help me so she played with her toys instead.
I made another HELLO FRESH meal. It was Coriander & Cumin crusted chicken with Israeli Couscous salad, roasted zucchini, goat cheese, shallots and caramelized lemon.
My taste buds loved this dish and I’m really loving the new recipes and ingredients I’m using through this company. I’ve learned a few new tricks in the kitchen and it really excites me for some future cooking.
After dinner Cooper & Ava played in the yard while Marc did some yard work. She loved the leaves and it was nice to be outside on a crisp fall night!! Once Ava was asleep a whole lot of NOTHING and snacked on an orange & some veggie chips!
It was a great day!!
What’s something yummy you ate yesterday or this week?
Have you ever tried roasting a lemon before?
