WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday)
What I Ate Wednesday and a Leg Workout!
First for What I Ate Wednesday…. I have been doing protein powder with almond milk and coffee pre workout pretty much every day. Post workout I do a quick shake with protein powder, almond milk, almond flour and 1/2 banana. My actual breakfast for the next few weeks will be egg whites, yams and avocado. Mid morning has been a protein pancake but that will have to go soon too Lunch is steak with yams, veggies and avocado. Afternoon has been tuna and veggies (no pic) and dinner will probably be fish or egg whites. I have been wanting to barf at the thought of chicken lately so it’s out for a while. AND – So excited when I was looking through old pics...
Read MoreWhat I Ate Wednesday – Soooo Boring!
My eats are going to be so boring until Vegas and then fun for a few weeks and then boring again until the wedding. Oh well it’s worth it.

I had more starchy...
Read MoreClean eating cooler
I have a food confession to make. I have not been eating enough. I know it. Mostly because I haven’t actually been packing as much as I should every day and also because around 3pm I want sugar and carbs and coffee. After I went to the store yesterday I made sure to make plenty of food and portion out all of my snacks so that I can bring as much as I want to the office and leave it there during the week. Also, if I get home late then I can just grab a pre-measured cottage cheese or protein pancake and eat that instead of grabbing something else convenient but not that probably has things in it I should’ the eating, i.e. gluten. We are headed to Vegas in...

Read MoreWhat I Ate Wednesday with Sweet and Sour Chicken
So my eats have been all over the place lately, mostly because I am getting back into a regular routine after finishing finals. That’s right, I AM DONE WITH LAW SCHOOL FINALS!! I don’t have any finals for my classes next semester and I am so excited that my next test I take will be the Bar exam.

Read MorePeanut Butter Banana Protein Bars and WIAW
So this week has been good with eats. Super appropriate for a WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday) I made my clean turkey chili for lunches for me and then made some peanut butter banana protein bars for breakfast/snacks. They are a variation of my normal oatmeal bakes and were a little crumbly but completely delicious. This recipe was cut into 12 bars and I’ve been eating 1 or 1 and 1/2 for breakfast. Ingredients: 6 scoops vanilla protein powder (or chocolate) 3 ripe bananas 6 tbsp of peanut butter 2 cups old fashioned oats 1 cup almond milk lots of cinnamon (because I love it) Standard warning!! I do not like sweetener so I don’t bake with it. If you normally...

Read MoreWIAW – it’s baaaaack!
Yay!! So glad I am back with WIAW now that I am doing my own thing again. I have a TON of eats to share with you guys – some from our vaca so I’m excited about it. I will be honest – we did not eat clean the entire time we were in Texas (or green). I mean come on we HAD to have some Texas bar-b-que. Biggest sandwich ever! I had a few bites and let the Fatkid have the rest – and my stomach was not happy about it – wheat + fatty foods = not good. But it tasted yummy and I probably won’t do it again until we go back Our second night there we had a little date night because it was 2 hours earlier for us and everyone was in bed....
