hey guys! wednesday already? where does the time go- am I right? my monday-tuesday-wednesdays are always very busy and homework filled, so I am very thankful by the time I make it to thursday!
I am keeping my eats this week simple, satisfying, and scrumptious (iI love alliteration!).
^^breakfast: eggs, butternut squash, spinach, and cauliflower. side of chamomile tea.^^
^^I don’t have class till 11:30, which means I don’t eat lunch till almost 2 pm. morning snack required: a few dates with almond butter. the perfect combination^^
after getting a walk in bright and early, I spent my morning doing homework blah. then I headed off to class. after class, it was the dining hall for an attempt at lunch. #collegelife
^^make it work: grilled chicken (which for some reason they only have on tuesdays), salad, salsa to top it off.^^
^^because there is no way that salad would hold me all the way till dinner: a little scoop of scrambled eggs, some cooked greens, and a little tomato sauce on top.^^
after lunch, I headed back to my apartment for some reading, cleaning, and more homework.
^^afternoon snack– one square of 85% dark chocolate with a swoosh of almond butter^^
mid-afternoon I went to the first meeting of a girl’s fellowship group I am joining this semester. we’re reading Faith Unraveled by Rachel Held Evans. You should check out her blog if you’re at all interested in strong women, Christianity, challenging your faith, or just hearing a new perspective.
^^unpictured: 1 small starbucks coffee consumed during our meeting. not a good idea, caffeine mid-afternoon is not my jam!^^
after a lovely meet & greet & chat with some girls, I headed over to the gym for a 30 minute sprint workout on the treadmill. 30 seconds sprint, 1 minute rest. repeat.
I rushed home after the gym to change for dinner and a meeting afterwards.
^^salad form the ‘pden’ aka our food court. lettuce, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, cucumber, pineapple, and walnuts plus oil and vinegar. I brought some Applegate Farms pepperoni with my (yep I’m one of those weird people who brings their own food to dinner) to top my salad, because 1. I need protein and 2. I don’t typically trust meat from the dining hall/food court.^^
^^after a meeting and before hitting the books again, I absolutely had to have a little something to eat– dinner was not successful in holding me over at al :(! study snack: a little pumpkin puree, natural applesauce, cinnamon, and some crushed pecans. side of tea, a nighttime favorite^^
It’s WIAW check out Peas and Crayons for some more great food inspiration!
Questions of the day:
What are you eating this week?
Where is it the hardest for you to eat healthy?
For me, it is the dining hall because of the sheer lack of options, especially clean meat options!
eat, pray, and work it out.
