Happy Hump Day!
I debated which day this week to share my food journal from, but Monday my food was not picture worthy. SO I went with Tuesday and kept my fingers crossed I could plate something pretty for you.
I’m linking up with the WIAW crew to share my eats from yesterday!
I woke up at my usual 6am time and my coffee was all ready to go downstairs. I made Pumpkin Spice Coffee the night before, it’s such a treat. I also had 2 glasses of water to get myself hydrated.
On Sunday I had baked up some potatoes to use with lunches and breakfast so I was happy to have some potatoes with my 2 eggs & broccoli.
Around 10:15am, I was ready for a post workout snack. I went with a Chocolate Shakeology, a banana, and a serving of Sunflower seeds. I say a serving because I literally could have sat there and ate the entire bag but I made sure to seal it back up quickly. I love sunflower seeds. anyone else?
Marc and I had planned for larger dinners this week so we could use the leftovers as lunches the next day. One of our leftover meals was chicken cacciatore that I made in the crockpot. I actually think it was better the next day. I had my Chicken Cacciatore over zoodles with a sprinkle of olive oil and parmesan cheese on top. It was so healthy and delicious.
My lunch held me over for a while. In the afternoon I went over my parents to drop Ava off so that I could go train one of my in home clients. I ate an apple and a few of these energy bites in the car. Thank goodness for healthy portable snacks! My dad found this healthy snack at Costco and I’m obsessed. Of course I could make them myself, but its fun buying new products… it gives me ideas for future recipes
Dinner was a crockpot beef & turkey chili with veggies. I’m really digging the crockpot these days, can’t you tell? There’s something so amazing about coming home and having dinner already made!! I feel like I’m cheating. I also had corn tortilla chips (not pictured!)
After boot camp I was pretty hungry for some reason. I had a Chocolate Quest Protein bar
watermelon and a handful of cheerios I mean 2. YUM!!
It was a great day of food for me!
What was something yummy you ate this week?
Are you a fan of the crockpot?

Your crockpot chili sounds delicious! I’m now going to surf through your blog in hopes of finding the recipe because I want to recreate it. We’re experiencing a bit of chill here and I could use some warm soup.

Hi Julia!
The chili was great, and we had so much leftover which was awesome. It made for some great lunches this week and we were able to freeze a little too. If you search my blog I have 2 recipes, ones a Fail Turkey chili and the other is a paleo lean beef chili. I did a combo of these 2 this week

I had some zucchini noodles last night! And I’m with you on trying new products. I LOVE trying something I haven’t had before! It definitely gets recipe inspiration going!

Hi Liz! I love how easy zucchini noodles are to make and sometimes I don’t want veggies so its easy to sneak some in
I’m a sucker for new food products, I have to try everything!!! (as long as I approve of the ingredients!)
