I’m back for round #2- WIAW!

by eatpraytri on May 8, 2012

After such a warm welcome to the WIAW club last week for my first post, there was no way I wasn’t coming back. I was actually wanting the week to go by faster in order to get to Wednesday!

Just a little bit more info about what all this is…its a “party” of sorts hosted by Jenn where bloggers can link up posts on what they ate during any specific day or time.

I chuckled last week when Paul read my post and was like, “wait, its Wednesday today…how do you already have what you ate?” I could see how he could be confused b/c  I was also confused initially when I first started seeing these posts around the web. But then, the light bulb went off and I magically felt smart and dumb all at the same time.

So to clear up any potential confusion…it’s {What I ate} Wednesday, not necessarily what you ate ON Wednesday. Kinda like Taco Tuesday. Except Wednesday. And no tacos. Better? Once that clicked for me I was GTG. (good to go)

Anywho…here is what I ate on Monday of this week.

Breakfast: Protein smoothie

1 banana, non-fat milk, 0% plain Greek yogurt (I just eyeball the amount) 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, chia seeds, smidge of PB. Blend in the magic bullet type thingy (we have the generic version) and top with fresh raspberries.

Yes that is fluorescent orange duct tape around my glass. It had a crack in it and well, that was the closest thing I can find to fix it. #ilivewithboys

morning coffee and prob about 4 of those Starbucks cups of water throughout the day. I can hydrate anyone under the table.

Mid Morning Snack:

1 lemon zezt Luna bar with a side of slinky

Lunch: leftover chicken/veggie/rice surprise!

I made this dinner Sunday night 100% improv. Doing that freaks me out, but this was a pretty good success. Leftovers weren’t 1/2 bad either

Afternoon snack: strawberries, greek yogurt and granola

hello Mr. Slinky peeking out from that bag! No strawberries for YOU!

On the way home I munched on these two little guys. PB Protein Balls. 

Look at me all saving the earth with my reusable ziploc bag.

Dinner: Hamburgers on the grill. TRAGEDY, no picture. Monday night is small group night and I just got carried away and made the grave blogger error by not whipping out my phone to forever capture my meal. Will you ever forgive me?

I did get a pic of dessert.

Lemon bars FTW.

You would rather see that anyway right?

And here’s one more picture that is like candy for your eyes.

Guinness is so inappropriate sometimes. Its embarrassing really. That’s why I put it on the internet for everyone to see.

That last picture made me laugh! I was the same way, the first time I saw these posts I just did not understand how people did it! Lessons learned. Your eats look delicious especially those lemon bars.

So I’m enjoying reading through your blog when I get super excited…you know why!? You have the same glass containers with snapping lids FROM COSTCO that I do! :-D don’t get me wrong. I enjoy seeing what you’ve eaten but what gets me the most happy is when I see Costco in everyday people’s lives ;-) I’m a dork, I know. But I love those glass containers. I get so nervous microwaving stuff in plastic. Plust the glass is “retro” and I like that. Again, I’m a dork.

HA! “when I see Costco in everyday people’s lives” hysterical. We just got those containers and I love them SO MUCH! I want to replace all our plastic containers with glass. I have a feeling Costco can help me do this…
