Yes, I’m a day behind with my What I Ate Wednesday post.
My day started off with a beautiful green monster glowing in the window with the sun just rising
Breakfast:
Includes 2/3 banana, 1 Tbs. dark chocolate dreams peanut butter, 1 giant hand full of spinach, about 1/4 cup of pineapple (+ juice), hemp protein powder and a sprinkling of Chia seeds. Perfection.
Midmorning snack:
I bought a few of these when they were on sale at TJ’s. The flavor is good, but it reminds me too much of a candy bar (and the calorie content is comparable!) I only ate half of it.
I had to go into school for awhile, but it was my LAST DAY!!! Woo hoo!!! I’ve never been more excited for a summer break!!!
For Lunch I had a salad.
Includes turkey bacon, feta cheese, avocado, craisins, some walnut pieces, and after I took the picture I also added some shredded Boar’s Head honey glazed turkey lunch meat (sooo goood). Very filling
By about 2:30pm I finished up my school work. I was practically skipping down the hallway out of the building – I was that excited!
Chris picked me up and we swung by the house long enough to change into swim suits and headed over to a friends’ pool to soak up some sun. It was perfect! We made plans to go on a camping trip this weekend.
Came home and munched a cheese stick while I prepped for dinner – Afternoon Snack
The plan was originally to make steak fajitas. But I just got some new whole wheat tortillas that I wanted to try. The tortilla is so giant that I decided to do mine burrito style.
In the mix: steak pieces sliced up, green & red bell peppers, onions, refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and low fat Mexican cheese blend. I added some torn spinach after the shot was taken.
I definitely over-filled mine! Couldn’t wrap it up like a burrito so I ended up just eating it like a taco after all.
And a little later we ran out to do a couple quick errands and I got an unsweetened passion fruit tea from Starbucks. Delish!!!
Today is a work-free day!!
On the To-Do List:
-go to used book store to find some reads for summer!
-get some much needed deep-cleaning done
-get a nice, long swim in….I need it for triathlon training!
-organize my summer To-Do’s for school (What? I’m not really working….it’s just organizing my work so I know what I need to do and when)
-buy & mail out a couple birthday cards!
And I’m off! Hope everyone is having a good Thursday!

Trying that passion fruit tea is officially at the top of my list of things to do! As for Dark Chocolate Dreams… LOVE. I have a jar of White Chocolate Wonderful open right now that is equally delicious!

I like the white chocolate, too, but there’s something about the dark chocolate that just keeps bringing me back!

i love to go camping! it’s a great adventure. your salad sounds so amazing…i usually make similar but never thought to add a little bacon 😉

I love turkey bacon! So much less fat and even though it’s not quite like “real” bacon, if you aren’t expecting it to taste just like bacon then it’s a great alternative! Nice little crunch!

I never go camping, I’m anti-sleeping outside and bugs. I know I do trail running, but it doesn’t involve sleeping on the hard ground and bugs can’t get you if you’re moving 🙂

haha, yeah my “camping” is pretty modernized – queen sized air mattress with sheets & blankets instead of a sleeping bag : )
