How was your day?!
I’m finishing up my last relay post and wanted to check in with a food post. Remember when I said I was going to do a full day of eats in one post more often? Remember how I didn’t really do that because I’m not a special snowflake, I’m just a… flake?
Well, here it is.
I knew I had a lot of work to catch up since I had missed Thursday and Friday for the relay race so I skipped the gym and took a quick morning walk as exercise.
A quick breakfast was in order too – cereal…
eggs and lots o’ iced coffee.
Mid-morning I snacked on The Simply Bar. The company sent me a variety pack to try while I was gone. I love the nutrition stats on these – it’s hard to find 16g of protein for 160 calories.
I had to hit the store during lunch because we were out of fruit and veggies. I didn’t want to shop hungry so I grabbed a handful of nuts (TWSS!).
When I got back I threw together a quick salad and polished off the Manager’s Special watermelon find.
Midafternoon I was dragging and had another iced coffee with my PB&J.
I had one client at the gym tonight and snacked on some Pirate’s Booty and a few chips while making dinner.
I made Asian Slaw Salads with chicken. The big package of Slaw Mix with dressing, crunchies and almonds was on sale at the store. I mixed that up and topped it with chicken. Dinner is done.
I bought these Godiva pearls from the airport yesterday and they’re delicious. Super rich dark chocolate in a little ball – they’re like chocolate chips but more decadent.
I was hoping Ben would be down for some fro-yo but I think the chocolate will have to suffice as dessert tonight.
I’m finishing up my RTB post so you can all find out if I freaked out again on my last leg and peed myself. You’re welcome.
Just out of curiosity, what is your exact ‘recipe’ for iced coffee…
I don’t do anything fancy to it at home, just coffee that I let cool and pour over ice. I add stevia and milk too.
And only 3 grams of sugar? Nice. So you loved the stats, but did you love the taste? I tried a Think Thin bar the other day and also liked the nutritional data (I think 20 grams of protein, 240 calories, and 0 grams of sugar), but it was a little meh in the flavor department.
It was good, but a little light. Even though it has protein I don’t think it would keep me full because it’s so light.
Love this post! Thanks for giving me some meal/snack ideas! I’ve never had VitaTops before and have always been interested in trying them. Is the chocolate kind you have the best flavor?
Deep Chocolate is the best flavor.
awesome!! thanks!
How was the Simply Bars? I was thinking about ordering some to try them out.
I thought it was good, but a little light. Even though it has protein I don’t think it would keep me full because it’s so light.
Isn’t it a federal offense to turn down fro yo? Esp in So Cal. Last time I checked, it’s like the #1 hobby of Southern Californians.
He ended up going 🙂
There’s a lot of nuts and balls in your post today! Love it! LOL
Just like I like it 😉
Love that you snack while making dinner – I definitely do the same thing. (Pirate’s Booty is so friggin addictive!)
I try to only eat Pirate’s Booty when Ben is around or I will eat the entire bag in one sitting!
Looks like great food! I’ve tried the pirate’s booty before and I wasn’t a big fan. But those godiva pearls look awesome!
You should join the What I Ate Wednesday Party over at Peas and Crayons! 🙂
I kinda like doing my own thing these days 🙂
oh my god-iva pearls!
I am mad at you for coming to the Best COAST and not seeing me. Grrrr. We could have had Costco samples for lunch…
You’re totally not the best coast, but I’ll let it slide. I’m going out for Fitbloggin 🙂
