What I Ate Wednesday #1

Here is the first installment in what could become a regular feature on the blog. Unless I lose interest. This isn't an original idea, I've seen it on other blogs. It seems appropriate for this one because "so... what do you eat?" is a question I get fairly regularly. Also, what's not awesome about looking at pictures of food? I have a Pinterest board dedicated entirely to food that looks spectacularly delicious but that I will probably never eat. (The board is titled Food Porn and features copious shots of chocolate, caramel & melty cheese.) Should What I Ate Wednesday ever start to resemble my Food Porn board, I'm in trouble.


So, here is yesterday, in all its delicious glory.

1) Pre Swim
I'm on holidays this week so enjoying a certain flexibility in how I schedule my day & my work-outs. I had the opportunity to sleep in a bit and still hit the pool for a morning swim. Standard pre-swim fare: whole wheat toast with almond hazelnut butter and a banana. Coffee.

2) Post Swim
I did 2400m in the pool and came home with a big appetite. Fried up a diced sweet potato & some onion in a tsp of olive oil. Added a bell pepper, mushrooms, and broccoli. When the veggies were cooked, added a couple of beaten eggs. Then tossed in 50g of Tillamook pepper jack cheese (calorie decadence right there!). Topped with sliced avocado & some salsa. Coffee. This time with some french vanilla soy creamer.

3) Mid Afternoon
I followed that big plate of eggs & veggies with a weight workout and a shower. Then it was off to the massage therapist for an hour of bliss, followed by a coffee date with a friend at Starbucks. This cup of joy is a soy hazelnut macchiato.

4) Dinner
Baby spinach, cucumber, strawberries, blueberries, chicken breast, sliced almonds, 25g goat cheese, and Renee's creamy poppyseed dressing. Mmmm.

5) Post Spin
The last of my tri-club's indoor spin workouts was last night. Hill simulations. Joy! Came home from a 75-minute class feeling spent and hungry but it was after 9 p.m. so I didn't want too much: a pear, sliced up and dunked in almond hazelnut butter. Cup of decaf with french vanilla soy creamer.
