What I Ate Wednesday: Real food again

After days of being sick, my stomach is FINALLY coming back to normal!!! I am also trying to get away from carbs. When I am sick, the things I find appetizing are zup, ice cream, and bread. This bug was bad news, I even lost my appetite completely. And that is NOT like me haha

~Breakfast~

Egg Pancake (2 egg + 1/2 banana) + Bacon and of course Coffee

~Lunch~

Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, green beans and a leftover crab Rangoon

Jello for dessert

~Snack~

unpictured apple

~Dinner~

Ribs and green beans

Cookie Dough Ice Cream for dessert 🙂

I am so happy the GI bug is gone, and now I just need to get some more fruits and veggies in there.

Question for you:

What do you like to have for dessert?

How do you get in your veggies

 

Got a little TOO busy, time for pancakes

So I MAY have gotten alittle too busy, alittle too stressed out. So you know what that means….

Yep. Not feeling so hot today. I woke up not feeling 100%

This morning, I didn’t want eggs and bacon. Since I wasn’t feeling good, I wanted some comfort food and that ALWAYS means pancakes.

I went to my handy dandy pinterest, and found this recipe for paleo coconut flour pancakes. I was alittle skeptical because the ingredients were pretty simple, but don’t let that fool you. They were amazing! I added some scrambled eggs, and bacon

Today, I had a lot planned. workout at the gym. papers. bills. etc etc. Instead, I am drinking coffee in bed.

Checking emails, relaxing, and watching The Incredibles. I want to be able to breath tomorrow when I have my MRI. Everyone say alittle prayer around 6am that they find fat when they scan that darn mass. haha

Question for you:

Do you workout when you are sick?

-Usually I do, but the class I take, I usually can’t breath/move when I feel great, so I knew that I wouldn’t be able to push it, and then I would get frustrated. it would probably also not help my body heal, and we need that!

What I Ate Wednesday

Today, I was getting back on track and AWAY from the carbs! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!

Breakfast: 3 eggs + peppers +broccoli + bacon

And of course coffee!

Lunch: sausage, peppers, and cauliflower mashed potatoes

Snack: Cashews and raw almonds

( a few bites of a cobblestone from panera. darn you.)

Snack: Protein Mug dessert

Dinner: out to eat to friends. I got a salad and ate 4 chicken wings. It was pretty delicious!

Question for you:

What is your favorite thing to get at Panera?

Have anything yummy lately?

First run of the year

Yesterday, I decided to get my act together and track my food and workouts.

Breakfast: 2eggs, 1 egg white, with peppers and sausage. side of bacon

Gym time: 30 min on the bike, 30 min weights

Morning pick me up: coffee with whipping cream

Lunch: Leftover stew

Dessert: Using something new! (recipe on Monday)

Snack: Frozen Blueberry, spinach, protein powder, PB2 (1tbsp), and water (green monster with my smart stick!)

Well then. I worked out again. No joke. A few of the moms got together on a BEAUTIFUL 60 degree weather day for a run. My very first of the year. (again no joke)

After the half marathon last year, my knee and ankle were bothering me. I took some time off. Switched back to older shoes. And the 3 mile run was a success! No knee of ankle pain! I also got to catch up with other moms. I swear there is nothing like talking with another mom about your worries, concerns, or frustrations.

The weather, endorphins, and talk made me feel a MILLION times better

Question for you:

Have you tried anything new this year?

What is something you ate today?

The stomach bug has officially struck  again. First me, then my dad, and now Andrew. Last night was ROUGH. He was up every 20 minutes in the bathroom. I think we had one 2 hour stretch and that was it. I was exhausted!

I headed to target to get 7up, yogurt, ice cream, raisin bread, and gatorade. (all the things needed for tummy issues! haha) Thank goodness there is a starbucks IN target!

(Kris is actually what my grandma calls me, the lady must have known haha)

Since 6am, Andrew has been feeling MUCH better. Thankfully because I had to QUICKLY clean the house for a 9am appointment to get my house reappraised.

Not too shabby.

There is a big snow/ice storm here, so Andrew’s school has been called off.

So we are watching cartoons and relaxing. While I catch up, and get some laughs from facebook

And take lots of pictures of the storm

I made a BIG warm breakfast (for me. Andrew still has only had 7up and yogurt)

(which was actually at 11am, so brunch haha)

Paleo Pancake recipe to come tomorrow 🙂

Question for you:

What is your favorite thing to do when it snows?

-Andrew and I were going to go sledding, but no such luck 😦

Out with the old

Today, I said goodbye to an old friend.

Delight Iced Coffee has been my GO-TO coffee for months now. (yes I know it’s cold outside)

The new plan does NOT include delight iced coffee, so I had to break this bad boy out again!

To my morning cup, I had some whipping cream and 1 tbsp of vanilla coffee creamer(only 5 carbs)

And now I’m ready to go!

Question for you:

What is your GO-TO coffee? or morning drink?
