I Walk In This World

Healthy eats, often with a side of snark

A Bright Day

Wednesday eats paled in comparison to the happiness I was feeling.  It was just a good day.  I’ve mentioned before that IWITW is dealing with some personal stuff.  Well.  Wednesday was a great day.  Just sunshine-y great.  So…yay.

Din!

Kinda a repeat of yesterday…

  • creamy salsa bison + beans + peppers + onion + mushies + HOT sauce
  • brown rice
  • tossed spinach salad with cuke, carrot, maters, croutons, pecans in homemade garlic dijon
  • glass of cab sav

This was mucho delicioso!  We ate it and watched a DVR’d epi of Law and Order CI.  I really like the addition of Jeff Goldblum to this show!

Exercse.  I kickedass yesterday kids.  I did the easiest 30minute run ever.  I felt like I coulda kept going.  That’s never happened to me before!  Followed it up with 150+ different ab crunches.

Work is the same…busy busy trying to get a zillion documents reviewed before the end of the month.  At least it’s all eco-related and stuff this treehugger likes.

Lunch!

  • leftover broccoli in garlic sauce mixed with quinoa
  • watermelon
  • 1 piece of Dove dark chocolate
  • a beautifully ripe nectarine eaten 2 hours later.

For you Chinese food fans…try subbing quinoa for rice next time you get take-out.  Obvi make the quinoa at home (microwave…holla).  But it fills the same space and is SO much healthier than white rice.

And since my Breks pics get monotonous, I really shook things up yesterday with some snaps of the blender BEFORE the smoothie was poured into the cup.  I am a wild woman.

    Great tip with the Quiona because I really don’t like white rice at all. I always throw away the massive container that those chinese peeps dish out.

    Haha, everytime I see your morning smoothie I feel like I am having breakfast with you because I drink out of the exact same cup! Love that! :)

    Oh I almost forgot!!! I’ve been meaning to ask you this….

    Do you know where the Trader Joe’s is loacted in Philly? We are staying in Center City, right near Ritner Square. Is TJ’s close to here by chance?

    Although I’m not a fan of quinoa, your din looks great! And your smoothie is such a pretty colored pink, too :) What kind of camera do you use? Your pics look awesome.

    PS- I totally have an old man crush on Jeff Goldbloom. It’s the dork factor and glasses. They get me every time!

    Definitely prettiest smoothie colour I’ve ever seen right there. So bright and pink.
    And the quinoa instead of rice sub is a great idea. I never think of it but I need to remember to use quinoa more often!
