WIAW #2

by

First, a quick note on my workout for the day. I recently found a groupon for a Color Run near my house! It isn’t till mid June, but it’s been inspiring me to get more runs in. I signed up with Kyle, his little brother, and my cousin Davis. Davis and Kyle’s brother are best friends so it should be a blast! I honestly can’t wait :)

I started my day off with a quick 2 miler at an 8:30 pace. I have’t run in a long time so it really pushed me and got me sporting my tomato face by the end. I ended my workout with a fast 15 minutes on the elliptical before calling it a day.

Now on to the eats! My WIAW is actually from Sunday when I cooked up a storm for Mother’s Day.

Breakfast:

A yogurt bowl with tons of blackberries and topped with some Honey Bunches of Oats. A latte on the side.

Snack Attack!

Homemade guacamole made with avocados, cilantro, onions, cherry tomatoes, and grilled corn!

Lunch:

Tons and TONS of delicious homemade food! I did the cooking for our Mother’s Day Lunch and decided to go with fresh and light foods. On the menu: Lemon Shrimp Orzo, Homemade Whole Wheat Biscuits (with a dab of honey and butter of course!), Garlic Broccolini, and Panko Crusted Lemon Salmon. Kyle’s family was so nice and gave us the most delectable cheesecake for dessert!

Delicious and reasonably nutritious!

I die.

We also had homemade paninis, salad, and pasta salad that were gobbled up before photographing!

Dinner

To say that I was stuffed from lunch would be an understatement. I kept myself busy for the rest of the day with shopping, napping, and packing to go back to college. By the time I was getting the car loaded up at 7:45, I realized that I hadn’t eaten dinner. I threw some leftovers into the car to eat on the way home so I wouldn’t get hangry and eat Kyle in my desperation.

Can't you see the fear in his eyes?

Can’t you see the fear in his eyes?

My life.

My life.

He was nice enough (or scared enough for his life) to drive the two and a half hours back so I could get my nom on ;). Dinner was leftover salmon, broccolini, and yogurt with blackberries.

I was exhausted from a long day of cooking (I swear it can be a workout…), shopping, and the car ride home and barely managed to get back to my room before passing out. It’s a miracle that Kyle didn’t need to carry me back up 3 flights of stairs. He works out so I think he could have done it, but I also had eaten my weight in cheesecake so I guess he would probably need to warm-up beforehand. It would have been such a hassle. Anyways, I digress. The point is I got to my room and slept like a baby. Yay!

I hope ya’ll had some wonderful eats as well!

    Hahahha hangry. I am ALWAYS hangry. It’s the big joke between my friends and I because I turn into a crazy person when I need food.

    So much homemade food! Those whole wheat rolls looks amazing. As does the pasta salad with orzo– I just love the chewy taste of orzo.

    I definitely get hangry too. My family knows to watch out and get me home as soon as possible to cook up a meal 😉

      Arghh all of it was SO good! The orzo recipe is definitely one of my favorites. It’s a pretty light dish health wise as well :). Haha they know what’s in their best interest for their safety ;)!
