What I Ate Wednesday #3

Did you know that “What I Ate Wednesday” is actually all over the internet?  Starting by the wonderful Jenn over at Peas & Carrots, What I Ate Wednesday is a large link up amongst many bloggers- I am just late to the game.  The awesome thing about #WIAW is it doesn’t have to be showcasing what you at on actual Wednesday, you can showcase what you ate any day… just post it on Wednesday.

#WIAW

I have really enjoyed posting what I have eaten for all of you.  This post is not about comparison, judgement, guilt or restriction.  This post is all about sharing something we all have in common: eating.  I also help it gives you some inspiration for meal time at your house.

On this Wednesday, I am sharing with you what I ate yesterday (Tuesday).

What I Ate

I started my day with several cups of coffee and chugged a glass of water after every cup.  This was the last Tuesday my little ones would go to the babysitter since summer is coming to an end so I sat and drank my coffee and water and knocked out some work.

Breakfast

I soon realized it was 9:30 and hadn’t had breakfast, and wanted something quick that would fuel me for my workout so I  whipped up a smoothie: 1/2 banana, a handful of blueberries, almond milk, vanilla protein, natural peanut butter and ice.  I realized that on all of my posts I have had smoothies- I don’t have one every day.  I try very hard to chew (not drink) my protein and my food and I go for the smoothie when I am in a hurry and usually end up drinking them about twice a week for pre or post workout meal.

Post Workout

After my though workout (you can find it on Instagram) I did not follow any of my post workout rules: protein and carbs.  Instead I broke the rules and ate an apple with cinnamon, almond butter and a handful of sunflower seeds.  I also snuck in a handful of dark chocolate covered acai blueberries that are not pictured… yet.

Lunch

That little snack kept me full for awhile into the afternoon when I cooked my late lunch around 1:30pm.  I opted for four fresh eggs (from my sister in law’s chickens!) scrambled and sautéed peppers in a corn tortilla topped with siracha of course.  That was  filling lunch, but of course I needed another (okay two) bowls of more dark chocolate acai blueberries to run my errands.

Snack

I ran my errands and stopped at Fresh Thyme before picking up the munchkins.  As I was shopping around I had a sample of this delicious suishi.  It was so good I went back to buy some and ate another sample.

Dinner

As we cooked dinner, J and I split this awesome spicy tuna from the deli at Fresh Thyme and I highly recommend it.  I think I will be going to pick this up often.  While we at the suishi I also drank a glass of sauvignon blanc.

Our dinner came together quickly and was awesome.  After several recommendations from my friends, I tried the fresh chicken sausage from the meat counter at Fresh Thyme and it was awesome.  J said, “we won’t be buying anything else anymore.”  We grilled the chicken sausages alongside some grilled zucchini, corn on the cob and kale chips.  The dinner was filling and I didn’t even go back for another piece of corn on the cob like I usually do.

Dessert

Once the kids went to bed I think I ate two more handfuls of dark chocolate acai blueberries.  Get those things out of my house!  I don’t even know why I put that big bag in my cart when I was at Costco.  I like to think that I can just have a small handful and be done with it, but I can’t- they are addicting.

On this What I Ate Wednesday I ate way too much sugar and need to get those silly things out of my house!  The thing about sugar is it keeps you coming back for more and I can’t just eat one handful.  I am pretty sure I ate my share of treats yesterday for the whole week.  Let’s see if I can resist them for the rest of the week.
