WIAW [What I Ate Wednesday]: 2.13.2013

Good morning and happy Wednesday! Is it just me or is this week going soooo slow? But on the other hand, 3 day weekend coming up! :)

I’m excited to share what I’ve been eating, you’ll notice that some things have changed while others are still the same!

Peas and Crayons

A good day of eats, and it was fun to try a new restaurant/style of food! Oh, and this is from yesterday :)

QA: What was your favorite thing you’ve had to eat this week? Is there anything you eat day in and day out?

Friday & Pizza

Hey friends & happy weekend to you :) How’s your week been? Mine went well, pretty busy at work so the week flew by! Once leaving work, the hubs-to-be and I headed to the gym… Friday night gym sess. —> nothing cooler, right? I did some of the GPP workout today, but tweaked it slightly, then jumped on the treadmill for a mile. Then we made naan pizza!

For one piece of naan, it was 7 WW points. The naan was from TJ’s and is a perfect personal size (4 pieces come in a pack). On my two pieces was tomato marinara, cherry tomatoes, orange peppers, roasted brussels sprouts, and goat cheese. Muy bueno! I ended up eating both my pieces… it’s hard to resist any type of pizza.

In other news, at work daily I’ve been keeping a little white board with the date and when I get into work, I find a inspirational quote for the day. It’s a really nice activity to do first thing in the morning, and helps get the day going on a positive note. Here’s the quote for today, which I saw Tina from Carrots ‘n Cake post on her instagram feed. I loved it, so made it my quote for the day:

So, I’m spending the rest of the night watching pitch perfect with the boo and chilling out.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

QA: Do you have any Friday night traditions you or any morning traditions?

WIAW [What I Ate Wednesday]: 12.12.2012

Friends! How are you? I’m doing okay, actually already snuggled up in bed (jeez I am an old woman.. it’s 8:05pm…) and it has been a long day. Work is getting busy and I’m just feeling blah, I think it’s the holidays, ya know, the time of year that is supposed to be so jolly. It’s stressing me out! I did get some holiday cards done for us… yay one thing done :)

Alright, let’s get rolling with WIAW, and thanks to Jenn at Peas and Crayons for hosting this!

What I Ate Wednesday Healthy Holiday Recipes

This is from todays eats, mostly good, and let me say that I am loving holiday foods! Specially the cookies I made last night, but don’t you worry, I did share them with work!

[breakfast] trader joe’s apple chicken sausage with two eggs mixed in and some cheddar cheese, and a clementine

[lunch] hot food bar from work! I had lots of little things, including a big pile of salad, with some fixings. Then I add a bunch of protein, usually chicken, some beef, and some pork (I do little scoops of each). Lastly, I add veggies of some sort… usually works out great, as it did today! Ohhh, plus a no bake cookie!
