WAKE UP! It’s Wednesday! This means two things. If you’re a working boy or girl, that means you only have two more days until the weekend. It also means it’s WIAW Wednesday!
Today was weird. My appetite was all over the place, my stomach hated me, and nothing sounded delicious. Therefore, I ate what I wanted, when I wanted, and gave no regards to the time of day in which I ate them. If it tasted good, it went into my belly.
Breakfast — 7:00 AM
This bowl will never let me down. My usual overnight voluminous banana oats, topped with cinnamon, blueberries, a grilled banana muffin, and peanut butter.
Lunch — 11:45 AM
Lunch was a little hairy today. I really wanted an avocado. Bad — so when I was at the store running errands, I picked one up. I had a salad topped with 1/2 an avocado and salsa and a piece of gluten free bread with hummus and nutritional yeast.
And I also had some raisins and almonds.
And then I got sick. That’s the last time I don’t listen to my doctor who told me to not eat a lot of fats in the next few days since my gall bladder was “not happy” the other day. Your gall bladder helps your body digest fats, and if it’s not happy… well, it’s not so good.
Snack — 4:00 pm
Despite my upset stomach, I was still hungry (really?) for a late snack this afternoon.
Did you spot my sun bather in the background?
We got carried away with a little photo shoot. Doesn’t he look so happy? Or just really hot.
Back to that smoothie…
In the smoothie:
frozen banana
5-6 ice cubes
1/2 cup blueberries
1 cup almond milk
1 scoop chocolate Sun Warrior
That. Hit. The. Spot.
Dinner — 6:00 pm
Dinner was strange. Nothing sounded good. I settled on a sweet potato, sautéed mushrooms, and about 2 servings of Trader Joe’s lentils eaten right out of the fridge (no picture for my sake — it got ugly). After I was done with this, I ate baked lentil chips and hummus. So strange.
Snack — TBD
I’m thinking coconut milk ice cream tonight — just because it’s hot! 
Question: What was the best thing you ate today?

Ahhhhh Charlie is so cute! I love the first picture the most:) Your dinnah looks sooo good! Ketchup + shrooms + sweet potato = ohhhhhh yes. I like how us bloggers get more excited about food than about other things.
My day has been too crazy to have eaten anything really tasty. I have barely sat down!
Adorable dog, aww!! Although your eats are random, they look quite delicious!! Love the sweet tater. Have a great Wednesday!! <3
Charlie is adorbs!!! Today was my first WIAW and I forgot some pictures…woops! I guess it takes some getting used to
Haha I love Charlie. I also love catching a picture of my pooch doing something awkward… I can just hear her saying she’s gonna get me back by eating my socks. Sneaky bugger.
Best thing I ate today? A Coconut Bliss ice cream bar. Heaven in my mouth. Literally. I think I heard angels sing.
Hahaha, Charlie! That dog is so great. Feeling sick is no fun
I went out to lunch with my mom and we got the exact same thing except she felt sick afterwards and I did not, thank goodness! Then again she’s usually sick because she’s lactose intolerant and refuses to give up dairy, silly woman. As usual, breakfast was my favorite meal. Overnight oats with crumb cake, granola and peanut butter will never get old.
It will be half a green monster later…. Hungry when you don’t feel good=worst feeling ever! Take it easy so you can enjoy the fast approaching weekend!
Love your WIAW posts
Are you preggers too!? Jk jk.. Hope you feel better! Your puppy is so cute, out dogs were sunbathing as well today!
haha I knew it was only time before someone asked that - nope, not pregnant.
LOL it just seems like the pregnancy bug is going around, had to say it! : 0 ) isn’t the weather crazy here today! so many cities flooded, I hope your house didn’t get any water!
Mine didn’t, but my MIL’s did! The Husband was there all morning cleaning up their basement - 5 inches of water! Yikes!
Oh geez!! I hope nothing got ruined! : /
The best thing I ate…this ridic decadent dessert I made that will be hitting the blog in a few days. Chocolate, PB, butter, sugar..oh yes baby
Awww, Charlie
Lovely photos! (and lovely model, naturally.)
best thing i ate today…a pasta salad I made yesterday for lunch today! pasta in a creamy-ish sauce made of cashews, white beans, roasted garlic and roasted red pepper spread.
I love Charlie, he looks like the perfect companion lol! I had a terrible craving for avocado and had a generous helping on my sandwich today, there’s something about avocado.
He IS the perfect companion - so perfect that he never leaves your side. Which can be annoying sometimes.
Your dinner actually looks super delish! And that smoothie sounds like a definite winner - I’ll be trying it ASAP!
Your doggie is sooooooo cute today!!!
A Larabar (tropical fruit flavor!) was probably the best thing I had to eat today!
I don’t know why I said “today.” I’m sure your doggie is cute EVERYday!
I’m so sorry you didn’t feel well today — but on the bright side, your dog is SO adorbs! Love
Hope you feel 100% soon!!
Everything looks yummy! I love sauteed mushrooms! YUM!
My wrap at lunch, left over couscous, black beans, spinach, hummus, cucumber and avocado. Unfortunately it made my tummy very unhappy too and nothing has helped it all day.
Oh no! So many people with upset stomachs yesterday!
okay your eats are pretty dang AWESOME too lova!!!!!
Yummy breakfast, I need a bowl of oats like now!
Best thing I ate today was a pita pizza 
yum mushies!!! there my fav! do you normally cook your husband a seperate meal aswell? also when your cooking the sweet potato do you just cook it whole?
I usually don’t cook the Husband a separate meal - I’ll mainly make him a meat dish to go along with whatever I”m having. But yesterday he worked late and so he ate leftovers - that was good because I did not feel like cooking! Yesterday for the sweet potato, I just poked holes in it with a knife and nuked it in the microwave for 5 minutes - it was too hot to turn the oven on!
Yum! I am seriously in LOVE with your oats. The presentation is amazing!
The best thing I ate today: vegan taco salad with chickpea crumble!
Your dog is soo cute! And your morning oats are making me drool! Best thing I ate today…apple, PB, and cinnamon in an Ezekiel wrap! yum!
i was just looking at the sun warrior protein in the store today- we finally got them in. the bag was MASSIVE! not sure if they are all large like that or if this was just the special jumbo size or something. im debating buying it because it is a bit pricey but i guess not so bad since i’d probably get a loooooottttt of smoothies out of it
ps. i realized u have a blogroll so i added you to mine. feel free to add me to yours too if you’d like
xo
Sunwarrior is expensive, and I actually won the bag on a giveaway - I’ll probably start buying it now though. It’s way too good not to!
Ah, I had an AMAZING salad with a whole slew of veggies, chickpeas, and hard boiled egg whites! It didn’t make it to my blog tonight because I had something else I wanted to talk about it but was AMAZING!
Best thing I ate last night was my nighttime snack of pineapple and Lindt 70%…hit.the.spot!
what’s the taste of yeast? was it nice?
It’s nutritional yeast - it gives everything a “cheesy” flavor.
Love the mushroom and sweet potato combo! My appetite was also wierd yesterday…I ended up eating peanut butter for dinner, because I was too lazy to cook and couldn’t get pb of my mind!
ahahah who snacks on lentils in the fridge? LOVe.. thats me with peanut butter or chocolate! i LOVEEEE those shrooms!!!!
I do!!! ::riases hand::
YAY for WIAW!!
And haha I had the EXACT same avocado craving the other day so I went put specially to get some too! Love the green stuff 
Best things I ate were Super Charge-Me cookie and a White Chocolate Wonderful Single Lady Cupcake…mmmm
P.S. I am in LOVE with Charlie!! He is so so so CUTE!! I want him!!!
Your dog is sooooo sweet. I wish I had a dog, but right now I just don’t have the time for one!
He is a sweetie pie - except he’s crazy and full of energy!!
I would find it SO hard to go a few days without eating lots of fats. Sorry your lunch left you feeling sick but I hope you feel better now!
Best thing I ate yesterday was overnight oats for breakfast. I never remember to make them at night, so they’re always a treat when I remember!
It’s hard for me too! I’m still having my PB in the morning, but limiting them after that.
love the impromptu photoshoot!
sorry to hear about you not feeling so hot and i hope that you’re feeling better now!
gotta say the best think i ate yesterday was some shrimp, veggie and noodly goodness for dinner!
Your food always looks so good! The best thing I ate yesterday was bang-bang shrimp at Bonefish. SUCH a treat!
I’m so glad I’m not the only person who eats my lunch before noon. I have a kindergarden lunchtime. And dinnertime, really.
aha I do too!
BUT my excuse is that I teach. not anymore, but you know - it’s a habit.
That looks like a perfect dinner! I love sweet potatoes… so filling.
This sounds so simple but sometimes my favorite thing to have is just a glass of almond milk. It’s so refreshing and satisfying to me!
Aww what a cute pup
Your oats look awesome! I hope you feel better soon!
awww I hope you feel better asap! I had a similar problem in the past and anything high in oil or fats gave me the worst cramps. Will pray for you today Chels!
I’d say my cereal for breakfast was the best thing I ate…can’t go wrong with cereal, fresh berries, and milk!
I hope you feel better
Eek, if your gallbladder isn’t happy, coconut ice cream might not be too good! The best thing I ate yesterday was a variation of Chocolate-Covered Katie’s Blondie Batter dip… I made it into dark chocolate brownie batter dip… yummmm.
charlie is so so cute!! I love dogs!! I have two- a hound/pit mix and a choc lab puppy….who is insanely crazy!! Do you bring Charlie on your runs? My lab loves to run with me!!
Charlie is seriously GORGEOUS.
omg, are you preggers? What’s with those crazy cravings? ; )
ahaha no!
That’s ALOT of food!! And is that large bowl of something ketchup (on your dinner plate?)
Thanks?
It is ketchup - I can’t live without it.
Hope your tummy feels better girl!!! <3 can you keep posting pupper photos? like forever? kthx
haha!
Happy WIAW! mwah!
awwwww I am sorry you didn’t feel well
I was wondering what is the best way to cook a sweet potato?? I have never cooked one whole.
Hope you are feeling better
My favorite way is in the oven at 400 degrees for 45 minutes, but when I’m in a time crunch (or it’s hot outside) I’ll just nuke it in the microwave for 5 minutes.
Ok great, thanks for the info I will try that. Do you wrap it in foil or just as is??
No problem. Microwave + Foil = Bad. You could wrap it in foil in the oven, but it’s not necessary!
