Wednesday Party!

Yup, you know what day of the week it is…Wednesday, aka What I ate Wednesday. But first, I wanted to thank you all for the awesome tips for eating healthy in a college dorm room. There was so much good advice and I definitely feel much better about the whole thing. I know it will just take some getting used to and then I will fall into a routine no problem. Besides, I have a feeling that it will all be worth it anyways. 🙂

Now…let’s get this party started!

 

Breakfast:

messy strawberry banana cookie dough cereal (1/2 cup oats, 1 tbsp soynut butter, 1 scoop vanilla pea protein, cinnamon, almond milk, fruit on top)

Lunch:

snack plate at it’s finest: egg casserole, falafel with mustard, snap peas, rye crackers with cottage cheese, refried beans, and salsa.

Snack:

peanut flour paste bites + kamnut puffs in almond milk

Snack Round Two:

a whole grain wrap with refried beans, hummus, spinach, sprouts, and avocado. Good stuff.

Dinner:

stuffed chicken, roasted broccoli and turnips in coconut oil and seasonings, and fresh corn

Two things regarding this dinner:

1. I stuffed my chicken with a mixture of fresh basil, cottage cheese, and laughing cow light…it rocked.

2. Roasted turnips taste like potatoes wedges, in a good, good way. I dipped them in ketchup and bet I could have fooled a lot of people with that swap. You should try it!

Evening Snack:

3/4 cup daisy lowfat cottage cheese with protein cookies on top

The protein cookies were another winner for Oxygen Mag. I get such good ideas from them! These were super easy to make and although the magazine says 12 servings, it’s basically 2 servings for me. I’d like to see the person who actually gets 12 servings out of this. Nonetheless it’s still a winner!

Protein Cookies:

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1 serving protein powder
• 1 tbsp almond butter
• pinch of baking powder
• chocolate or carob chips (optional)
• water, to thin

Mix everything together, form small balls and plop on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 6-10 minutes. (recipe says 10 but I did 8 minutes and could have even done less, but I like my cookies more on the doughy side)

What I Worked Wednesday:

Wednesday mornings are almost always Body Pump mornings, and today was no exception. It was fabulous per usual and I followed it with a walk at the trail before it got hot out. Great start to my Wednesday! 🙂

Before I go, I read an interesting article recently that I thought would be beneficial for many of you: Menstrual Cycle Injury Risk Link. It talks about when women are more susceptible to injury according to their cycle. I had no idea!

Today I’m going to tackle some things on the to-do list, as well as the College To-Do List. I hope you all have a fantastic day!
