Wow, it feels great to be back on my clean eating regimen. My body is finally feeling more like itself. Since, it’s Wednesday it’s time to talk about all this food.
{I’m linking up with Jenn for What I Ate Wednesday}
Meal #1 – 6:30am
After working out and getting McKenzie and McKayla up I ate a couple Greek Yogurt Waffles (well a variation of my original recipe. I will share ASAP, I think I finally have it perfected).
Meal #2 – 9:30am
I grabbed an apple before heading out to the swimming pool. We met some friends up at the pool in the morning instead of after naps and it was a nice change of pace.
Meal # 3 – 12:30pm
After getting back from the pool and getting McKenzie and McKayla down for their nap I made a salad with chicken, almonds, walnut, and a drizzle of garlic expressions dressing.
Meal # 4 – 2:30pm
The girls and I were really missing our green smoothies, so I made up a batch and we all loved it. Healthy and delicious. Such an easy way to get veggies and fruit in.
Meal # 5 – 5:30pm
Dinner did not turn out like planned. I intended to make baked breaded chicken with green beans/carrots and applesauce (everyone loves this dinner and that makes me one happy mama). Well, in the middle of making up a pan of veggies, preheating the oven, and breading the chicken it just turned off, stopped working…. Ugh!! A couple days ago we had this same problem. Anyway, my homemade family dinner didn’t happen.
Instead, I heated up some leftover meatloaf muffins and paired it with the veggies (I was able to get those cooked). It actually turned out to be a delicious dinner. Just because your healthy plan doesn’t work out doesn’t mean you should just forget it, this is why I love to have healthy options readily available.
After dinner I had a teaspoon of almond butter. Nut butters are great way to curb a sweet craving. I love that it satisfies my want for sweets at the end of the day.
Throughout the day I munched on some homemade all natural popcorn (Place 1/3 cup of kernels in a brown paper bag fold over the top and cook it on high for 2 minutes; easy and delicious – McKenzie and McKayla love it too).
I love how I feel at the end of a nice and healthy day of eating. I can always tell when I haven’t been eating my best.
