WIAW and my new FAVORITE snack

It's been a while since I've done an WIAW. Mostly because I ALWAYS forget to take pictures of my food and a little bit because I eat pretty much the same things day in and day out.

Breakfast is ALWAYS egg whites, I'm trying to get into the habit of adding veggies.  Sometimes I do sometimes I don't.  The key here is to have them prepped before hand because chopping veggies in the morning is just not something I'm going to do every day!





Lunch is difficult for me, I can't eat meat more than once a day (I can, I just don't, I'm not a huge meat person).  So, I either have egg whites, hard boiled egg whites, a protein shake, or sometimes a veggie burger.  Boooorrrrrinnnnngggg.

These are amazing! My homemade "lara" bars and they are soooo easy.
Yesterday I made these:

Just blend the following in a food processor

 1 1/2 cups of pitted dates
1 cup almonds (raw)
1 cup walnuts (raw)
1/4 cup coconut (optional)
2 tbsp (cocoa powder)

+ a little water to make it all come together.

Than just press out into a pan, refrigerate, cut and eat!

I also did apple pie bars (my fav)

 1 1/2 cups of pitted dates
1 cup almonds (raw)
1 cup walnuts (raw)
1 apple
1 tbsp cinnamon

As you can see the possibilities are endless!

I snacked on hummus and hard boiled egg whites yesterday (it's good!)

Dinner was Kale salad, roasted veggies, and roasted turkey (yep I made a turkey in July)



I've actually been running this week, finally!  And my legs are feelin it!

Today is abs + arms + 5 miles.
There is a new workout from beachbody called body beast.  I haven't heard anything about it, but it's designed to pack on 10 lbs of muscle in 90 days! Crazy right? I don't want to gain 10 lbs of muscle, maybe 5? Plus I'd like to lose 5ish lbs of fat... but that's neither here nor there. Anyways... I really want to try it.

Do you workout at home or at a gym?

Do you follow any particular programs?

  1. ohhh! i may have to copy your apple pie larabar recipe! sounds yummy!! im super boring when it comes to my food choices too. today i had cherries in my lunch instead of an orange and even though i really was craving cherries more than the orange...the change gave me anxiety. haha;) lately i have been doing workouts from home. i have a run schedule i follow but kinda make up my own strength training. i would like to get better at finding a plan for that as well!

    1. I just bought Ranier cherries, they are delish!
      I'm a creature of habit, and unless I have a specific craving, it takes too much energy to try think about food.

  2. That shake looks delicious. What's in it?

    1. It was soooo good.
      All that was in it was chocolate protein powder, pitted cherries, almond milk, and ice.

    1. The lara bars are amazing, I really cannot believe how good they are, and there are so many different things you can add to them.

      The roasted turkey was a great idea, lunches and dinners are taken care of for a few days which is nice.
