WIAW….typical eats
Warning: This isn’t the most exciting day of eats. In fact, it’s pretty typical…which makes it downright boring. But I’m still am happy with boring sometimes anyways!
Tuesday’s Eats………
I slept late today (aka until 6:45am). Usually I’m up by 6 and out the door by 7am (latest), but today I had to work late so I spent a little more leisurely time in the morning. I ate breakfast around 7:30am and didn’t leave the house until 8:15am. Green smoothies are back! I had a smoothie and a cup (or two…) of coffee with almond milk.
I ate my snack pretty much as soon as I got to the office….about 9:30am. Coconut yogurt and 2 mandarin organges.
Lunch was yummy. Leftover salmon over greens plus a sweet potato on the side.
When snacktime rolled around, I ate a chcolate brownie pure bar and later an unpictured banana….and orange (hey, I was hungry!)
Dinner was fajitas- steak, bell peppers, and corn.
Where’s the tortilla? Oh yeah, I ate it (with butter on top!) while I was waiting for everything else to cook, hence the no pics.
After I finish writing this, I’m going to attempt to do a few miles on the treadmill….but we’ll see if it happens…I’ve been super tired the past few days. Oh yeah and our gym FLOODED over the weekend! Thankfully, they finally reopened today, geez
And in other news: OMG sooo excited for the Giants and the start of the World Series! SF is going crazy right now. Watch out Tigers….
Soooo…..
– Have you eaten any of these same foods the past few days?
– Do you keep an emergency snack at your desk or car? I was hungry today and had to go out to get food….no emergency stash…I think it might be a good idea….but I also think that just knowing it was there would make me eat it within a day of putting it there, so probably isn’t worth it (for me, that is).
– Chicken, veggie, or steak fajitas? Or dislike fajitas?
– Do you still drink smoothies even when it’s cold outside? I do…..and I still eat ice cream too….
– Are you going to watch the World Series or do you not care?

Amanda @ .running with spoons.
October 23, 2012 at 9:17 pm (207 days ago)Hunger definitely hits me the hardest in the afternoon as well, which is why I always make sure to have some extra snacks with me. I tend to get super cranky when I’m hungry, and if I let my blood sugar drop too low then I get all sorts of dizzy and crazy so yeah… food is always around just in case
Rebecca
October 24, 2012 at 9:16 am (207 days ago)I get cranky too…and the worst is driving home from work when I’m famished

October 23, 2012 at 9:49 pm (207 days ago)Love leftover salmon. That’s one meat that I think always tastes 10x better the next day.
Chicken or Veggie Fajitas.
Smoothies all year round. I’m that girl who is bundled up on the couch with blankets, heat on, drinking a smoothie & wondering why I’m still cold
Rebecca
October 24, 2012 at 9:16 am (207 days ago)Haha, I do that too! No matter how cold I am…and how cold it’ll make me feel….I still drink the smoothie!
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance
October 24, 2012 at 2:22 am (207 days ago)Emergency snacks are a must in my world! I keep a few items in my desk at work….a bar, some dark chocolate, gum and mints. In my purse, I always carry a baggie of almonds and pistachios along with a small tin of dark chocolate. It’s come in handy MANY times!
Rebecca
October 24, 2012 at 9:15 am (207 days ago)So smart and what you keep for snacks sounds perfect!
Apples and Arteries
October 24, 2012 at 3:43 am (207 days ago)I’ve been enjoying sweet potatoes, spinach and some sort of protein this week for dinner.
I tried the Pure bars when I found them at Whole Foods in DC-yum! Can’t find them in WI.
I always pack and keep snacks handy!
Rebecca
October 24, 2012 at 9:14 am (207 days ago)Bummer they don’t have them in Wisconsin…..it’s amazing how many bar varieties there are though. I bet you guys have many that we don’t have out here

October 24, 2012 at 5:39 am (207 days ago)Looks like a pretty great day of eats if you ask me! I wanna try that coconut yogurt, sounds delicious. I used to keep an emergency stash of welch’s fruit snacks at my desk (I’m 5 years-old) but I ran out awhile ago and never replaced them. Now I have to run to the store if hunger strikes unexpectedly. I actually have smoothies more often when it’s cold out. In the summer, it’s nice to drink something cool, but I’d work up a sweat washing the blender in hot water after! Not worth it lol.
Rebecca
October 24, 2012 at 9:42 am (207 days ago)Ha, I must be 5 too because I love fruit snacks…and fruit rolls ups still too!

October 24, 2012 at 6:01 am (207 days ago)I’ve been loving mashed sweet potatoes as of late with a little butter and cinnamon in them. Definitely chicken fajitas but I prefer chimichangas or enchiladas, hehe.
I usually keep a Clif bar and/or Kashi granola bar in my purse/car/desk just in case…especially since I am on the road a lot for work. I hope your Giants win! Have a great dat. 
Rebecca
October 24, 2012 at 9:13 am (207 days ago)Cinnamon on sweet potoatoes is such a great combo!
Natalie @ Free Range Human
October 24, 2012 at 6:20 am (207 days ago)I tend to eat a lot of the same things everyday. I’m a creature of habit! Let me just say, however, there is nothing boring about those fajitas, my dear!
Rebecca
October 24, 2012 at 9:13 am (207 days ago)haha, true, they were really good!
Alex @ therunwithin
October 24, 2012 at 7:28 am (207 days ago)i have missed clementines! I haven’t seen them around here though. i can’t remember the last time I have had red meat but I have been wanting to try to introduce more meat into my diet. all looks so good
Rebecca
October 24, 2012 at 9:12 am (207 days ago)I got the clementines at TJs…they seem to have them year-round and always so good
Laurie @ Love, Laugh, Laurie
October 24, 2012 at 8:23 am (207 days ago)I hate the Tigers (White Sox fan) and I love Buster Posey, so definitely cheering for the Giants
Rebecca
October 24, 2012 at 9:11 am (207 days ago)Yay! Happy to hear that
helennaturally
October 24, 2012 at 9:30 am (207 days ago)I am a sucker for shrimp fajitas! I love the bell peppers and onions with them as well, but I rarely order any other protein besides the shrimp.
As for the emergency food stash…..I can’t make it through a day without it!
Brittany
October 24, 2012 at 9:31 am (207 days ago)I used to work at a smoothie shop, and my favorite time to drink smoothies was in the winter!! Sounds crazy I know, but I craveedd them when it was cold out!! I love the look of all your food, and that pure bar is one of my all time favorites!! Veggie fajitas for me!

October 24, 2012 at 9:48 am (207 days ago)How is that coconut yogurt? I eye it every time I’m in TJs but haven’t tried any yet!
Rebecca
October 24, 2012 at 12:17 pm (207 days ago)Welll….to be honest, I didn’t like it the first time I tried it, but now that I’ve had it a few more times, I like it. The texture is a little different than regular yogurt, so I think I just needed to get used to it.

October 24, 2012 at 11:25 am (207 days ago)Love the meals! I always get stuck in a rut with meals and tend to eat the same thing over and over again until I get sick of it! Love those Pure bars too! That chocolate brownie flavor is my favorite!
Rebecca
October 24, 2012 at 12:17 pm (207 days ago)The choc brownie was my favorite until I found a chocolate berry one! Sooo good, but I can’t find it many places, sadly
AnnaTheApple
October 24, 2012 at 12:08 pm (207 days ago)I always find myself in food ruts. I just start loving a certain food and eat it till I’m sick of it or bored. We’re lucky at work as we have a massive supermarket just across the road. So no panics for me if I forget something
Laura @ Mommy Run Fast
October 24, 2012 at 1:18 pm (207 days ago)I’ve kind of fallen off the green smoothie wagon this fall… although in Texas, it’s still in the 80′s so I don’t have cold weather as an excuse! My eating is very similar to yours- I love mid morning and afternoon snacks!
Heather @ Better With Veggies
October 24, 2012 at 1:22 pm (207 days ago)Veggie Fajitas for me (I actually had quesadillas last night, pretty close!). I drink smoothies year-round, had one this morning in fact!
Jorie
October 24, 2012 at 1:33 pm (207 days ago)I definitely eat very similar things each day. It means less time spent thinking up recipes, shopping at the grocery store (bc I know where everything is), and figuring out how to prepare stuff. I always pack a bunch of snacks to take to work too, bc there’s no worse feeling than it being 4 p.m. and your stomach starts grumbling, and dinner seems so far away!
Kailey
October 24, 2012 at 2:51 pm (207 days ago)That PURE Bar is one of my favorites
So good with a smear of almond butter haha.
I generally eat the same things for dinner since I know what works well for my runs, but typically breakfast and lunch are up in the air
sprint2thetable
October 24, 2012 at 4:46 pm (206 days ago)I have been wanting to try that chocolate Pure bar! It’s just asking to be microwaved…
I eat salmon and sweet potatoes just about every day. Along with chicken and swordfish. I just try to prepare them differently to shake things up.
Rebecca
October 25, 2012 at 7:56 am (206 days ago)Yummm microwaved, I haven’t tried that before!
