Happy Wednesday everyone. Wow, this had been a great day, if I do say so myself. I was very productive and that always feels good. Sophia and Isabella spent the night at Mimi and Papa’s house so I only had McKenzie and McKayla today and it was so simple. (I hate to use the word easy when it pertains to twins because twins are never easy. Ha!) When they were napping I could actually get stuff done. I was finally able to put all of the laundry away from this week (3 baskets worth). I also thoroughly enjoyed spending time with just McKenzie and McKayla, I loved being able to focus on them. It was a nice Mommy day. However, I have to say I missed my big girls so much. I did miss the chaos and all the love.
Since it is Wednesday it is time to talk about food.
Breakfast 7am
After my 5:30 am workout I grabbed a banana while I waited to have some pumpkin protein pancakes with the girls. Seriously, if you haven’t tried these pancakes yet, you must do so ASAP!!
Snack 8:30am
Okay, before I continue I must warn you it was plyo day for P90X and that means I was starving all day long. So, basically I ate every hour or so, but I always try to keep it healthy. Of course there is always some treats in there too.
Snack 10:00am
I am addicted to yogurt pretzels and almond butter. Since, they are covered in yogurt they’re healthy right? Ha!
Lunch 11:30am
For lunch I heated up a few leftover stuffed shells. Delicious!
By the time I remembered to take a picture there was only one left.
Snack 1:30pm
Carrots, hummus, and turkey. A go to snack of mine. I love these petite carrots. I found this huge bag at Sam’s club the other day and they are the perfect mini carrots for easy dipping. Isabella and I love them. Next time you are at Sam’s Club check them out. They are less them $4 for such a big bag.
Snack 3:30pm
Hungry again, so I grabbed my new favorite easy snack, paleo protein bars. It is so hard for me not to eat the entire batch. But, I do somehow I control myself.
Dinner 6:00pm
I made one of our favorites, sweet and sour chicken. It is easy and delicious. It is so much better than take out and much healthier. I paired it with a yummy salad.
Dessert 7:00pm
You know me, I had to have a sweet treat. I made one of my chocolate cakes with ice cream.
The key for me on days when I am starving all day long is to make sure I have readily available healthy snacks, otherwise I will grab unhealthy things and regret it later. Try to keep your house stocked with healthy options.
