WIAW: Chocolate granola is dangerous

| 11 Comments

Today is March 9th which means I turn 31 years old today!

I love birthdays and I’m so pumped that it’s supposed to be 70 degreees today. I don’t think there has ever been a birthday that was over 50 degrees so this could be really fun. I’m working a little bit and then my goal is to make it to the beach with my little Ava and Cooper to let them run around!!

WHAT-I-ATE-WEDNESDAY-NEW-BUTTON-PEAS-AND-CRAYONS

Since it’s Wednesday I figured I should link up with the What I ate Wednesday Crew over on Laura’s Blog today to share my food journal with you from Monday’s active day.

I woke up Monday morning with energy even though I didn’t sleep that great. Ava woke up in the middle of the night and then Cooper woke up to go out shortly after. My pregnant self cannot jump up in the middle of dead sleep so I’m thankful Marc did. I still didn’t sleep well but SOMEHOW had a highly energized feeling in the morning.

I got up at 6am and immediately chugged some water and had 1/2 cup of coffee while I whipped together this breakfast:

2 Eggs, sauteed spinach in olive oil, and sliced white potatoes.

This always gives me the energy to teach Group Power. I was out the door around 7am for class and during this workout I literally kept thinking to myself, this bar is light today. Even though I mentally knew I could lift more I have to remind myself that I’m 22 weeks pregnant and that I don’t need to push it.

Anyways, I still had a great workout. I ate a banana on the way to pick Ava up and then we headed home to eat a snack and refuel.

I chose a piece of toast with avocado, egg whites & sea salt. SOOOO GOOD. I also had a cup of cheerios with Ava.

After teaching my second class of the day I noticed I started to get a little tired. My energy from the morning definitely faded.

I had some leftover tilapia with 1/2 a sweet potato and broccoli. It was delicious and filling.

While Ava napped I did some computer work and chilled. I notice that around 1pm my body tells me to SIT for an hour. I did need it and it felt good.

In the afternoon I had my usual craving for yogurt berries & granola except we were out of the granola I like :( that’s a super sad face right there. BUT Marc reminded me that we had some Chocolate granola from Trader Joe’s.  That worked PERFECTLY over my Siggi’s Raspberry yogurt!!

Let me tell you that stuff is soo good… clearly it can’t be healthy because it’s addicting. I have to portion out my serving because if the box is around I WON’T STOP.

Anyways, the weather was beautiful on Monday so we took advantage and headed to one of our beaches with my friend Megan and her dog Abbey. The sun was shining and the temperature was in the 50’s.

This got me SUPER excited for the spring time and warmer weather.

Cooper ran around like crazy and so did Ava. It was so nice to see them both having fun and letting out some energy!!

When we got home I had no desire to cook. I originally planned on steak but I was so tired. I opened the fridge and decided to eat whatever I could find. I first had a salad with peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and honey mustard dressing.

Plus a piece of bbq chicken and some sweet potatoes. I also had some bites of Ava’s mac and cheese. I had to taste it right?

When 630pm rolled around my body was wiped. Teaching 2 classes and chasing around a toddler and a dog for an hour at the beach is tiring. Thank goodness Marc was around to give me a break.

We watched a little TV once Ava was asleep and then I snacked on this gluten free waffle with peanut butter and sliced strawberries.

I love this combination. I also ate extra strawberries on the side because this batch was so juicy.

That’s it for my day of eats!

  1. Happy Birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day :)

  2. So much good food – and you definitely had to check the Mac – my dad used to say he was testing for poison ;)

  3. Yummy I love all those carbalicious potatoes. :) I’ve never had Siggi’s but I’ve heard so many wonderful reviews of it. I would love to try it sometime, but I’m just … um… too cheap?

    • I’m all about the potatoes, I try to mix it up and eat different things but potatoes are my favorite!!!

      You should definitely try the Siggi’s. I usually buy them when they are on sale or I have a coupon and stock up. They can be pricey!!

  4. That avocado is beautiful! Love avocado+eggs!

    • It’s a great combination and so flavorful!!! I prefer the runny egg on top, but being pregnant they want you to eat fully cooked eggs :(

  5. I’ve been on such an avocado toast kick. So good!
