All Over the Place: What I Ate Wednesday #9
Happy Wednesday! Blogging from an overcast and pouring rain day in SF. We need the rain like no one’s business, but it’s like Mother Nature stored up everything all season until this week and just let it all out finally! But rain= cheaper tastier produce, so no real complaints from me. 
And now, time for What I Ate Wednesday, Thanks Jenn!
These are my eats from Monday. It was a weird all-over-the-place kind of day. I was getting over being sick and I had jury duty, which made my schedule far from usual. But some days are like that, so here ya go:
My morning started at 7am with a great swim in the pool. I got my own lane (everyone must have slept in because of the time change). Sweet!
8am- Breakfast. Random breakfast: Coffee with soy milk, a banana, and a handful of walnuts. Omega-3s and potassium to start the day? yes, please.
Check out the sticker, "I'm chiquita banana....." Love it!
I was on “call-back status” for jury duty, so I spent the morning working from home (in yoga pants sprawled out on the couch). I was totally expecting not to have to go in, so when the 11:30am recorded message told me that I had to “report” by 12:30 to the courthouse FORTY FIVE minutes from my house, I was way unprepared. Poor Charlie was woken up from a nap and dragged out of the house to “daycare” with me, lol. Aww, the life of a dog.
11:30am- Lunch. This was pretty early for lunch, but I wanted to eat before leaving for jury duty, so I just threw leftovers together. It sorta looked more like dinner (?). 2 chicken legs (with liquid aminos), kale (from the farmer’s market), and leftover roasted eggplant. I ate the kale in the car. Messy.
3pm- After serving my patriotic duty as a juror (thank goodness I didn’t get chosen), I went outside for a snack. Almonds (more nuts? yes of course), an apple, and an honest tea. It was my first time with the tea. It’s ok. Anyone love it?
Isn’t the courthouse pretty? Jury duty was actually not so bad– the whole process is really interesting and like one big history lesson (i’m a nerd, i love u.s. history stuff).
I did a few errands after leaving the courthouse before going home to get some more work done.
6pm- Dinner. Even with the daylight savings change, I’m still hungry early. By 6, I was more than ready to eat. Brussel sprouts and quinoa mixed with pinto beans and nutritional yeast. I got more than my fair share of nutritional yeast that day.
Snack: Later that night, I ate (unpictured) 2 pieces of toast and 2 handfuls of raisins. Raisins do not stand a chance against me. I can’t get enough. Too bad cause they are full of cals.
I got plenty of fats and protein, but I was still pretty hungry in the end of the day. Need to work on better balance, I suppose.
Have you ever been selected to be on a jury?
How often can you work from home?
Do you eat meals in the car ever?

[...] to go to Tahoe for our last ski weekend of the season. As I mentioned in just about every post last week, it’s been raining HARD. And of course, Rain in SF = Lots of Snow in Tahoe. We knew it [...]

March 14, 2012 at 3:50 am (436 days ago)Brussel sprouts are sooo so good! However, I have never made my own! That needs to change, I know they aren’t too difficult to cook with
Becca
March 14, 2012 at 9:43 am (436 days ago)Go buy some tonight and make them!!! They are so easy and I think they’re really filling.

March 14, 2012 at 6:09 am (436 days ago)Jury Duty is the worst, but at least you had a healthy day of eating. I love nuts and raisins too (ie: Trail Mix) but I hate how they are so high in calories cause I could eat them all day! I portion them out so I do not over eat.
Becca
March 14, 2012 at 9:44 am (436 days ago)Totally. 1 portion always seems so small to me…..but calorie-wise, if I don’t portion it out, I’d end up eating all my daily calories in handfuls of trail mix, lol

March 14, 2012 at 6:42 am (436 days ago)Mmmm pinto beans and nutritional yeast? Now I have cravings for something “cheesy” and Mexican.
Becca
March 14, 2012 at 9:44 am (436 days ago)such a good combo!

March 14, 2012 at 8:33 am (436 days ago)Yummy eats!
Walnuts and a banana make a great combo! And is that a chocolate chip I see in the first picture? 
Yes! I eat in the car sometimes.. usually when I’m in a rush.
Becca
March 14, 2012 at 9:45 am (436 days ago)haha, you caught me! yes, there were a couple chocolate chips throw in there too, I couldn’t resist

March 14, 2012 at 7:10 pm (435 days ago)Mmmm… those brussell sprouts look good. I’ve been dying to get some nutritional yeast and try so many things.
Visiting from WIAW – nice to meet you.
Becca
March 15, 2012 at 10:52 am (435 days ago)I love nutritional yeast on practically everything!! I was really hesitatnt at first, but it’s grown on me and really adds a lot to simple dishes. Let me know how you like it. Glad you found me from WIAW!!

March 15, 2012 at 3:40 pm (434 days ago)I’ve had Jury Duty once & it was while I was in college. I got on the case for 4 days- it was a cool experience, but very long and boring!
Becca
March 15, 2012 at 4:10 pm (434 days ago)Cool, I think a 4 day case would be really interesting! Everytime I’m called the cases are for 6 or more weeks and that just seems horribly long and impossible with work and other responsiblities.
