My First WIAW

Posted byLori Posted onApril 20, 2011 Comments20

Hello my little trouble makers… I know you are. 😉

Hump Day!!!! Sounds like a great day for incorporating some Celebration Balls and a Dirty 30(I do know how this sounds…)

Who tried the Dirty 30 workout from yesterday?! Anyone? Did those burpees kill ya? They burn so wonderfully, right?

Want even MORE of a challenge? Try some of the moves with the TRX… like mountain climbers.

Old picture, but still relevant.

Hump Day also means it’s Wednesday and today is my first day participating in the ever growing blog What-I-Ate-Wednesday. Thanks to Pea & Crayons for this fabulous idea.

Between you and I, this is really what I ate Tuesday, but come on, I needed this posted on Wednesday so we’ll just pretend it’s Wednesday’s eats. Mmm-k?

Breakfast

Breakfast of champions right here.

Sauteed onion and yellow peppers, Trader Joe’s garlic chicken sausage, 1 scrambled egg, lettuce, cilantro, and pepper. Smothered with unpictured Dijon mustard (<–aka: my yellow lover). Delish.

I’ve been eating more protein in the morning, finding that this is helping to keep my sweets cravings at bay. Of course, I’m still sneaking a Celebration Ball or two, but my sugar intake is still lower overall.

Snack

A [few] handful[s] of granola, coffee with coconut milk creamer, 3 oz chicken meat (love that way over priced, freshly sliced, organic oven roasted turkey from Whole Foods).

Lots ‘O water mixed through the day.

Lunch

Leftover mock chicken cordon bleu.

Made with lean chicken breasts stuffed with goat cheese and sliced turkey meat. The healthier version of the classic. And leftover salad from last night.

Yummy. 🙂

Dinner

Falafels!

Spicy chickpea falafels on half a sprouted wheat tortilla with Greek yogurt/onion/parsley/cilantro/lemon “spread”

Please don’t ask me for the recipe. I have no idea what I threw in the mix. It was good though.

Dessert

Come to Mama, you little Cleansing Coconut Balls. Omg these are so good.

Tomorrow you’ll get my recipe with the slight variation!

Dessert #2

I’m not gonna lie, I’ll probably have more to eat after my dessert. More than likely it will involve protein powder, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, and Stevia.

 

What did you eat Wednesday?

If you were an animal what would you be and why? I’m gonna go with a cat for today. They get to lounge around all day and be lazy. I want to be lazy… 😉

  3. Oh gosh, WIAW posts always make me feel envious, inadequate, and like a little piggy all at the same time, because you people always seem to eat more deliciosu things than me, but at the same time I eat so much more than this in a normal day 😀

  4. Did have some mung bean socca and it was perfect. It has been awhile since I have any form of socca…gasp..I know. So I really enjoyed my socca today 😉 Besides that nothing too excited over here haha

  5. Wow, your breakfast looks unbelievably good! I’ve been meaning to make my own falafel for a while, and now I really need to.

    Yay for you first WIAW! I love linking up and seeing what yumminess everyone had for the day! Can’t wait to see your version of the balls!

    I’m gonna go with a chameleon…that way I can change “clothes” whenever I want! Gotta love an animal that has a sense of fashion! 😉

  12. I’m too nervous to eat. But I have visions of a mongolian beef salad at the brew I am going to tonight, wither to celebrate or drown my sorrows.

  13. I love the TRX! THat breakfast looks fantastic girl! I’ve only had breakfast today but I kept it simple with a GM (spinach, mango, blueberries, strawberries, coconut milk, amazing grass, protein powder, amino acid, l-carnitine)….bomb!

  14. I want to learn to make falafel so bad!

    So far all I’ve had today (it’s 8am where I am) is 2 over easy eggs with nooch, parsley, thyme, and oregano, and apple pie oat bran 😀

  15. I want to steal your luuuuunch! Yum!
    I did the dirty 30 this morning! I nearly died. Not even kidding.
    I love that you renamed them to ‘cleansing’ instead of ‘cleanse breaking’…. I’m interested to see what changes you made?!

  16. Gah put your hair up!!! 😉
    You totally eat WAY more protein than I do!! My problem is always lunch. I suck at coming up with ideas when Im heading to work!! SOmetimes its leftovers but a lot of times we dont have any!
    P.s. 30 burpees? are you trying to murder me? I layed on the floor for 20 minutes after that thing!!

  17. Hey Lori!
    Your meals look good!!! Very paleo-esque. 😀 I am thinking about going paleo for a while. My gut is all messed up, from bacteria to antibiotics that wiped out ALL of my good bacteria. 🙁 So, I am starting some probiotics and I am going to be changing my diet around. So, i am going dairy free and either gluten free or paleo. Your blog is giving me some great ideas! What’s your take on sweet potatoes with paleo? I think I will still eat them because I don’t see how they would bother my gut or digestion.

  18. Now I’ve got a craving for falafel…

    I think at the moment I’d like to be monkey. I want to go swing around in the trees in Costa Rica for awhile.

  19. ahhhh yea!! TRX and WIAW, thats totally my style. and we already knew that, right? Twinkies!!
