Hey everyone, happy Wednesday!
Before we get onto this week’s WIAW, I wanted to let you all know how my IT band is doing. I’ve been seeing a physical therapist but so far I’ve seen zero improvement. I have been running, about 4-5 miles a week, so I decided yesterday morning (after a pathetic half mile) that I would take off a full two weeks of running. I really hope this helps. I’ve taken off a week at a time, but clearly that didn’t do much. I never thought I’d be the type of person that wanted to cry because she COULDN’T run! Crazy how life changes…
But anyway, enough of that, on to today’s WIAW, which comes from Monday of this week! If you are new to WIAW, head over to Peas and Crayons to find out what it’s all about.
Breakfast was a repeat of… the last 6 weeks or so. Haha, this is my current favorite breakfast. It’s filling, it’s good and its really easy and quick to make! 2 over easy eggs on a microwaved sweet potato with 1/4 avocado and sriracha sauce!
After breakfast I got some work done and then headed to school for my only class of the day. After class I headed to the El (train/subway in Chicago) and went back to Lincoln Park for my PT appointment. I had an hour to kill so I grabbed lunch from a grocery store salad bar. I forgot to take a picture… but it was lettuce, hearts of palm, corn, peas, and red pepper, then I topped it all with some cottage cheese.
Here’s what it looked like:
Pretty, right?
I also had one of these:
After my appointment I headed to Starbucks to finish some essays for an application. I was there for a while so I grabbed a coffee, a KIND bar and their fruit cup.
Once I finished up, I headed to the gym and did 20 minutes of cardio, followed by about 40 minutes of full body weights. After the gym I stopped at Trader Joe’s to get some groceries and then back home for dinner.
I had some leftover veggies from the Whole Foods hot bar, so I warmed those up and had them along with a microwave muffin that I made (1 T coconut flour, 1 T almond Flour, 1/2 T Flax, 2 egg whites, 2 T coconut milk, baking powder, stevia and vanilla). It was pretty good!
Since my dinner was lacking protein, I also had some protein ice cream (okay, okay, I planned it that way). I made plain protein ice cream and added 1/2 Cup frozen blueberries.
An hour and a half later I had an evening snack of… PROTEIN ICE CREAM! Haha, are you shocked? It’s a good thing my ice tray only has the capacity for enough ice cubes for two of ice cream… This time I added about 3/4 cup frozen strawberries. I was feeling fruity!
What is your favorite evening snack?
What flavor ice cream should I make next?
