a decent day of eats

Well look at me all on time with my What I Ate Wednesday post! Thanks to spring break this week (yahoo!), I am also on spring break from grad class since the high school we meet at is closed this week. I’m okay with that one! Yesterday was actually a decent day of eats for me, and I managed to capture most everything – so here we go!

Eh, I’ve not been so good at this month’s theme, but I’ll do what I can!

Breakfast – 7:30 AM

Okay, so this is a recycled picture, but breakfast this morning was a strawberry and banana smoothie. I’ve been hating on most of my breakfast favorites lately, but smoothies make the cut. In the mix:

• 7-8 strawberries
• 1 banana
• almond milk (no idea how much – I just eyeballed it)
• 1/4 cup raw oats
• 1 tbsp. peanut butter
• ice

A perfect way to mask the oats and peanut butter that I have been loathing lately. I’ll take it!

After breakfast, I went and got a manicure and pedicure. It’s been a while since I got one, and it was definitely time for one. I went with a new to me color, Essie’s Chubby Cheeks. It is PERFECT for spring! I love it. Plus the girl that did my nails did the best job ever. I’m quite impressed!

Lunch – 12:30 PM

On the way home from getting my nails done, I stopped at Buona Beef for one of my favorite lunches. We typically to there for lunch every few weeks during the school week – and honestly, it was the only thing that was sounding good to me for lunch!

They have an awesome gluten free flat bread that you can subsittute for any of their sandwiches or pizzas – I got the Portobella Provolone Panini (without the cheese). It’s so so delicious. It has mushrooms marinated in a balsamic, artichoke hearts, spinach, and roasted red peppers. That sandwich never gets old (fingers crossed). On the side, I had one of their house salads.

Snack – 3:00 PM

I could NOT get full this afternoon. I started snacking on some chips (awesome choice, right? ha!) but then decided I should probably get something with some nutrients in me. I grabbed a container of CHO instead and drank a few glasses of water to see if that would tame the hunger beast. Mainly because nothing else but chips sounded good. Horrible.

After my little snack time, I headed out to the chiropractor to get adjusted for the first time in forever. I love my chiropractor because he’s super knowledgeable in just about everything! He adjusted my pelvic bones (that felt good – okay, not really), my back, and my neck. He also thinks some of the pain I have been feeling on my right side is intestinal, and that it is leftover from the stomach bug I had. Buuut, my ligaments are still causing me some trouble. I left feeling a bit better and I am looking forward to going back next week.

After, I went to a new to me grocery store, Mariano’s. One just opened up right near my chiropractor’s office, so I had to go check it out! They have a great salad bar and prepared foods section. I opted for some veggie sushi for dinner.

Dinner – 6:00 PM

This sushi definitely tasted good going down (although I like Whole Foods a little bitter), but uhhh we had some issues because of it afterwards. I’m sure you really wanted to know that, but apparently the babies did NOT like it. Noted.

I’m sure I’ll continue to snack throughout the night since dinner didn’t go so well – and I’m bound to have my 2 AM bowl of cereal to get me through the night.
