I don’t know about you all but I am super pumped it’s Wednesday already. With a long weekend coming up for the 4th of July this week sure is flying by.
Ever since I got home from our travels this weekend I have been focusing on clean eating. While I still ate super healthy over the weekend, I felt like I missed some snacks and I ate some meals in the car so I just felt off. Thank goodness for Shakeology & Quest bars for saving my hunger on several occasions
I am linking up with the What I Ate Wednesday crew to share my food journal from yesterday.
When my alarm went off I was SOO startled. That really hasn’t happened in a while and I really think its because I was in a super deep sleep. I woke up very hungry but my breakfast didn’t really do much for me. I had 1 egg + 1 cup egg whites, sautéed spinach in olive oil and toast. Plus 1/2 cup coffee. I always pour a full cup but never finish it.
After training my client I had a banana + a chocolate Shakeology and randomly snacked on some baby carrots.
Since I had some free time later in the morning we met my friends at the park to let the kids play on the playground. it was WAY too hot. I think Ava and I each chugged a couple water bottles.
For lunch I had Chicken with herbs, brussel sprouts, 1/2 sweet potato, 1/4 cup of avocado & a golden delicious apple. When you are starving you literally eat everything that’s leftover in the fridge. It was actually quite tasty and filling.
Ava napped and I did my fitness coaching work on the computer for a couple hours. I then snacked on Oatmeal with coconut milk & a big spoonful of peanut butter. I wanted something filling and this snack was perfect.
Lets talk about dinner… dinner was the last thing on my mind and I’m pretty sure that I whipped this meal together in about 5 minutes with no plan in mind. Ava was hungry and literally pointing to the stove, like “mom when are you gonna make me something to eat” so I decided I needed a meal fast. We had ground turkey with a bag of frozen mixed veggies (with all the seasonings in the pantry) over a baked potato. While it looks like a big pile of randomness, Marc and Ava loved it.
(I did have 2 servings of it, so I guess it wasn’t that bad)
After Boot Camp I wasn’t really that hungry but I needed to refuel my muscles. I had bought Quest Bars the other day and I’m officially in love with the Chocolate Chunk one. Its amazing. I also had a bowl of juicy cherries!
I’m heading out the door now to teach Group Power, see ya later!
What’s something yummy you ate yesterday?

There’s not better combo than chocolate and cherries! Except maybe chocolate and peanut butter…

I think I need to bring back brussel sprouts. I was on a kick for awhile eating them roasted with rutabega but haven’t had them in several months. I think it’s just been too hot to even think about cooking much in the oven. But now that you mention them, they sound so good!

I know, I hate turning the stove on when its incredibly hot but some things just taste better roasted! Especially brussel sprouts Do you have a toaster oven. Sometimes I use that instead of the real oven because it doesn’t over heat the room as much!!
