What I ate Wednesday : 4-29-2014

Hey Guys! Welcome to another WIAW! Let's jump right in.

 

For breakfast I was in a bit of a hurry so I had a chocolate chip Larabar. I'm still not sure what I think of these. This is the second one I have tried and to me the thing I taste the most is the dates. I also had a few coffee almonds with it. And of course a bottle of water and my vitamins.

 

For lunch Boo wanted to go to iHop. I tried to eat as healthy as possible starting with a house salad. It was really good. I ate almost all of it just leaving one tomato slice and most of the croutons.

 

Then I had half of a bacon and white cheddar sandwich. It was on omelette with bacon, spinach, green onions and cheddar cheese topped with salsa and white cheddar. It came with fries but I only ate half of them.

For dinner I made fajitas again. They had chicken, tomatoes and multi-colored peppers. Then we added rice and southwestern corn. And of course a little bit of cheese. :)

 

So that is what I ate today. What did you have?

 

WIAW 4-16-14

Hey Guys! Welcome back to WIAW!

For breakfast I had my most favorite eggs with spinach and cheese, a waffle and banana. And of course my vitamins.

For lunch I had half a can of zesty vegetable soup with rice. I also had chicken and cheese wrapped and baked in croissants (the recipe will be posted next Wednesday).

For my "dessert" after lunch I had two packs of snoopy fruit chews. These are my FAVORITES.

We had fajitas for dinner. I had two in tortillas with a bit of rice and a touch of cheese. They were absolutely delicious!

 

And for dessert JP and I split a banana and each had three cookies a piece.

 

So that is what I ate today. What do you have to eat?

 

WIAW: 4-4-14

Hey Guys! Welcome to another WIAW! I am trying to get these posted earlier in the day, so this week I am showing you what I ate last Friday the 4th. I had a really busy day that day, starting with therapy in the morning, then a few errands and then I had to get ready for my engagement pictures. :)

 

This is an every morning thing. I drink a bottle of water and take all of my vitamins. I will be doing a post on the vitamins that I take in the next couple of weeks, so you can keep an eye out for that.

 

This was a semi-quick breakfast, meaning it didn't require me to cook very much :) I had a banana, two waffles and some mocha coffee almonds. These things are delicious and have a good bit of caffeine in them. In 1 oz, it has as much caffeine as 2 oz of coffee!

For lunch, I stopped by Panera to pick something up. I got the pick two meal. I got it with the Sierra Turkey sandwich (so it comes with half of it) and the Caeser salad (it comes with half of a salad, I ate half of what they gave me, so I ate a quarter of the salad). It was really delicious and I made sure I got lots of veggies in.

For dinner, we went to Pied Piper Eatery with our friends Shawn and Sarah. I had never been there before so we decided to indulge a bit. We got fried pickles and loaded cheese fries. All four of us shared these, so I am not exactly sure how much I ate, but it was too much. :)

And for the main course, I had a burger with a fried egg and cheddar. I left the lettuce on my burger, but took the onion off. I got the mac and cheese with the burger (I should have gotten something healthier). I did eat all the mac, but didn't finish the burger. They were both pretty good.

 

So there you have it guys. What have you been eating on lately?

 

 

WIAW and a Quick Review

Hey Guys! Welcome back to another WIAW! I am a horrible blogger today! I was in such a rush to get to therapy on time and to get all my errands done that I totally forgot to photograph all of my food! UHG!! But I will quickly tell you what I ate, and then I have a food review for you!

Breakfast

For breakfast today, I had my usual: A banana, one cinnamon waffle and eggs with cheese and salsa.

Lunch

We had lunch at Chick Fil A today. It was requested by my little guy. I just had a nugget meal with fries. Though, I did not finish my meal.

Snack

For my snack today, I was bad and had a Reese's cup. And it wasn't the dark chocolate ones that I have been loving lately.

Dinner

Dinner is where my quick review comes in. I was craving Mexican food, but had a lot to get done at the house so we didn't want to go out to eat. I looked through my coupons and found a coupon for this.

 

It is one of the new Old El Paso frozen Mexican meals. We picked up the Chicken Enchiladas. This was only $5.99 at the Target we were at, and we had the $1 coupon. This comes with six enchiladas. I really thought that I had rice at home, but I didn't. I would definitely recommend eating this with a salad and some rice. JP and I both ate three enchiladas a piece.

 

This is what mine looked like when they were done. I am pretty sure I over cooked them, because the package says to microwave on high for 3 minutes or low for 6. I didn't realize that so I cooked them on high for 6 minutes and then cooked them in the over for the full 25. Another thing to note, the cheese did not look like that! I added extra shredded cheese because there just wasn't enough for me.

 

But as for the food itself, it was really good. I liked the flavor and the texture. I could have eaten the whole pan. They definitely aren't as good as authentic Mexican food (or maybe even homemade) but they are really good considering they are a frozen meal. I would definitely give these a shot if you are craving some Mexican food but don't want to go out or spend a ton of money.

 

So there you have it guys. Hopefully I will do a better job of remembering my pictures next week! So sorry about that! Also, I am still having trouble uploading my March Favorites on YouTube. I am giving it another shot tomorrow!

 

 

 

 

 

 

WIAW: March 12, 2014

Hey Guys, welcome to WIAW #3! Today I had therapy and we ran some errands. Plus, we had lunch with my friend Stephy! So, it was a busy day and definitely not the healthiest food wise. But let's jump right in.

 

I had to make a quick breakfast so that I could get to therapy on time. I had two cinnamon waffles with a little bit of peanut butter on them and a banana. It was yummy. I even put some banana on one of the waffles. :)

 

We went to Cheddar's for lunch and Steph and I are HUGE fans of the spinach dip there. So of course we had to get some. We split it and shared the chips with Matthew.

 

I ordered the crispy chicken salad for lunch and HOLY COW there is a lot of food with that! I ended up eating probably half of the salad and chicken. I also ate the croissant. It was super delicious and I can't wait to eat the rest for lunch tomorrow.

 

After therapy, I was hurting pretty bad so I didn't feel like cooking. We had pizza (the Kroger brand). It was good, but I felt really bad that I didn't have healthier stuff with it.

 

So bad about being unhealthy that I decided to have a small slice of the cookie cake JP's mama gave him for his birthday. It was so worth it. :)

WIAW: March 5, 2014

Hey Guys! I can't believe it is Wednesday already! Time to take another look into what I eat on a daily basis. I was doing pretty good until we decided to go to get Chinese food for dinner (to celebrate JP's bday early).

For breakfast I had my new favorite meal (there will be a post on these eggs on Monday!). These are eggs with spinach and salsa. I also had a banana and one cinnamon waffle.

For lunch, I had half of this Archer Farms southwestern salad, half a bowl of Panera broccoli cheddar soup and one left over potato skin from dinner the other night. It was so yummy! I will be eating the other half of the soup and salad for lunch tomorrow.

For my snack I had a small Fuji apple and 2 Reese's peanut butter cups. I have been obsessed with Reese's lately.

Like I said, I was really bad at dinner. There weren't very many veggies to pick from so I ended up having two plates of mostly carbs. :( This was my second plate, but the first was pretty similar, just without the roll and chicken.

 

And for my dessert, an Angry Birds cupcake. Matthew picked these out to get for JP for our celebration. They were really good, and I did limit myself to one.

 

So that was what I ate all day today, what did you have? If you have a blog and want to link up to WIAW, click the link below.

 

 

 

 

What I Ate Wednesday: Feb 26, 2014

Hey Guys! So I know this is my second post today, but I had some requests to see what I have been eating. I have started eating a bit healthier and I wanted to share with you guys. I asked on FB if this is something you would be interested in and a few people said yes. Hope you enjoy! Oh and please keep in mind I said I am eating a BIT healthier. I am slowly working my way up to eating a lot more healthy, but I do allow myself to indulge on certain things (for example, CHEESE and CHOCOLATE) just not too much.

For breakfast I had two eggs (with cheese), two pieces of toast and a whole Fuji apple.

Right after, I had a cup of Mocha Latte (well about half a cup) for a little after breakfast treat. Pardon the horrible picture, my flash refused to give me a good shot.

For lunch, I had a bowl of broccoli (with a touch of cheese), a slice of cold pizza and some apple chips. There actually were more apple chips than this, but I was on the phone with JP and couldn't stop snacking on them before I got a picture. Oops. :)

 

Next was my snack. Just a few Wheat Thins, one string cheese and two packs of Snoopy fruit chews.

I indulged a little bit at dinner with some potato skins. Uhg, disappointed that I actually ate them all. I really shouldn't have :(

I also had this extremely yummy chicken salad for dinner, but I ate it almost entirely before I remembered to take a picture of it. :)

And for my dessert a Reese's and a Diet Coke.

After my 30 minute walk I had a bowl of Special K Chocolate Almond cereal. If I don't eat a bowl before bed, my blood sugar will bottom out really bad.

 

In case you were wondering, I also had about 8 bottles of water for the day. So, I didn't do too well with my healthier eating cause of that dinner. :-/ Oh well, there is always tomorrow. What did you eat today??
