What {we} Ate Wednesday: Simplicity

Maybe it was a protein-filled breakfast… or maybe a sign of labor?! Nah… probably not but my appetite was odd yesterday.  I wasn’t all that hungry all day, which is definitely weird for me. So here’s my day of simple eats… calories totaled for your enjoyment!

Breakfast

Breakfast on the back porch- loving this cool morning weather!  A slice of wheat toast topped with a thin schmear of veggie cream cheese and 2 scrambled eggs.  I ate the remainder of my cantaloupe, too!

Snack

As a pre-yoga snack, I chowed down on a Clif Bar in the car… only to find out that yoga was cancelled. Argh.

No biggie, Koda and I got in a nice walk instead and missed the EARTHQUAKE. My first one, and I totally missed it- bummer!

BTW- Clif Bars are incredibly filling! This little guy held me over for a long time.

Lunch

Lunch was kind of stretched throughout the afternoon.  My schedule was off because I just wasn’t all that hungry.  Around 2:00pm I made a salad monster full of romaine, spinach and other greens, cucumber, carrots, feta, chick peas, onions and jalapenos.  Odd combo, right? But yummy! Topped with Newman’s Light Balsamic.

A few hours later, I was ready for the second half of lunch… whole grain penne, sauce and 5 frozen turkey meatballs.

Dinner

After a N.E.W. Lifestyles meeting, I got home around 8:00 and even though I wasn’t too hungry, Hubbs and I threw together some sandwiches.

Mine was on whole wheat, with cheddar, onions, lettuce, tomato and cucumber.  Extra tomato and carrots on the side.

Bedtime Snack

We finally watched the season finale of Master Chef (I’m so glad Christian didn’t win! What an arrogant guy…) and I snacked on these delicious little guys during the show.

I also ate my Juice Plus gummies to keep Baby D healthy and happy

BTW- this was my first time trying these almonds- holy deliciousness! Just a hint of chocolate made these a perfect little snack.

Happy thought of the day:

Live everyday like a dog

I don’t know about your pup, but Koda treats every morning like Christmas morning, bouncing around and wagging her whole back half of her body like she hasn’t seen me in years.  It never fails to make me smile. Dogs rule!

What makes you smile today?
