What I Ate Wednesday – What Week are We On?

Posted on April 9 by Jillian416 • 1 Comment

This past week has flown by, and now it’s time for What I Ate Wednesday again!

I’ve been joining up and linking with Jenn at Peas and Crayons for some time now, that I am not even sure how many week’s it has been. Oh well, I enjoy sharing my eats with you, so it honestly does not matter how many Wednesdays it’s been. 🙂

How has your week been?

Mine has been pretty decent, it’s flying by, but that just means the weekend is almost here. Yahoo! Though, the thought of a weekend in the new home gives me a bit of anxiety. We’ve lived here through two weekends and each one has been pretty unpleasant. I’m really hoping that they’re adjusting, we’re adjusting and we can have a nice relaxing time.

Saturday, I think we’re going to get Emmett’s haircut and then Sunday we’re headed out to visit my parents to celebrate a birthday. Whose, you might ask? MINE! 😀 I turn 33 on April 16th, and since my parents will be down visiting my sister on my actual day, we’re celebrating a few days early. I don’t mind at all!

And now….My What I Ate Wednesday!

Guess what I started my day with? Betch’cha can’t guess! (Okay maybe you can, since I start this way, everyday)

And I had my usual breakfast, a delicious gluten-free bagel, egg and American cheese, plus a banana. Mmmm

I forgot to snap a picture of my snack, but it was my delicious berry mixture with unsweetened coconut and GF granola, but it was so darn good.

I live close enough to work that I can go home for lunch. It’s awesome! I can come home and relax for 50 minutes or so, and I don’t have to worry about packing a lunch that day. I won’t be able to do it everyday, but any time I have the opportunity to do it, I will. Today’s lunch was my new favorite meal, Chicken Tacos to Die for (click the link and make them).

Oh and I can’t lie, I did have a couple K-Toos – SO good!

I skipped my afternoon snack, but my wonderful co-worker stopped and picked up Starbucks. Woohoo! There’s always room for Starbucks!

Dinner was fantastic! Seamus grilled up some delicious chicken and zucchini and I ate it so quickly that I didn’t get a picture.

I was part of the clean-plate club tonight. Ha! I love grilling season!

Welp, that does it. Stop on over and and link-up with Jen from Peas and Crayons.

Your turn!

What were some of your yummy eats today?

What I Ate Wednesday – #19

Posted on November 20 by Jillian416 • 0 Comments

Woohoo – It’s What I Ate Wednesday time!

Hi everyone! I’m feeling super duper peppy tonight! That might be because I had a cup of coffee at 7, after we finished dinner. You might think I’m crazy but I like being able to write at night and the only way to stay conscious is by having a cup. I’m sure by 10:30 I’ll be ready to hit the hay.

Today was another fantastic day! Busy, with lots going on at work but all good stuff and I’m trying to keep a positive attitude, it makes everything so much better. I also had a doctor’s appointment this morning and my blood pressure was perfect, I was very pleased. Granted, I am taking BP meds, but either way at least it is in a healthy zone.

Alright, time for my eats.

I started my day off the way I usually do, with a cup of coffee. Yum!

That beauty right there is what gets me pumping right from the get go. I know some people may say I drink too much, but I never feel jittery and I don’t load it with sugar or milk (just a splash), and my doctor isn’t concerned, so I’ll keep on, keepin’ on.

And just because I want to prove how much I love coffee, I had a second cup when I got to work. 😉

After I finished my second cup, I had my breakfast. As I mentioned in my Weekly Wishes post on Monday, I wanted to cut all gluten out of my breakfasts, so far so good. I’ve been having an organic avocado, cubed up with 2 hard boiled eggs and then topped with Frank’s Red Hot. A good friend of mine eats this frequently for breakfast and it sounded right up my alley, so I gave it a try. I love it! And so far, I’m 3 days in with no gluten at breakfast! Go me!

All morning, I kept reminding myself to get a picture of my breakfast but I ended up forgetting until it was all gone. Here’s a pic of the empty container, for the fun of it.

Lunch was my typical salad; romaine lettuce, sunflower seeds, blue cheese, ham, turkey and some Ken’s Honey Mustard.

Dinner was something simple and thrown together at the last minute, Seamus worked out tonight and Emmett and I got home late. We ended up having chicken fingers and french fries, straight out of the oven. Not the top most healthy meal ever, but at least it’s better than a Big Mac and fries, right?

And that’s about it, folks. No dessert for me tonight, I just wasn’t in the mood. Be sure to stop on over to Peas and Crayons and link up with What I Ate Wednesday. Thanks for hosting, Jenn!

What I Ate Wednesday – #6

Posted on August 21 by Jillian416 • 0 Comments

I think I say this every Wednesday, but what a busy day it was! It seemed like I was moving non-stop from the moment I awoke and I have the headache and tense neck/shoulders to prove it.

I actually don’t have a lot of pictures, because I didn’t eat a whole lot. I never thought I’d say this but I was literally too busy to eat at times. Crazy, right!?

Breakfast was the same as last week’s:

2 slices of toast
eggs
avocado
tomatoes (fresh from the farmer’s market, still)
2 plums
a banana

I absolutely love this breakfast, hence why I had it again. It is very filling and just hits all the taste buds!

I skipped a snack today, I honestly just didn’t feel hungry and since my mind was busy, I didn’t really think about food.

Huge win!

Lunch was just kind of thrown together at the last minute because I didn’t want to spend a lot of time cooking or making anything. I just had some Keebler Townhouse Flatbread Sea Salt and Olive Oil crackers and a couple hard boiled eggs.

Dinner was out, at Salsaritas. We had an appointment to view a new day care for Emmett and stopped on the way home. It was absolutely delicious, but it always is when we go there.

All in all it was a really good day, busy, but good! I am amazed at how much less food I eat when I keep myself busy. I’m not just allowing myself to sit around thinking about what I can binge on in the kitchen. It feels good to being working on gaining control of my eating.

Your turn!

What foods did you eat this Wednesday?

Thank you to Peas and Crayons for hosting!
