This morning I
had a slice of multigrain toast with peanut butter and banana slices and a
grapefruit and kiwi. I also had a
coffee, love you keurig!
After
breakfast I went to the gym and then got ready to go to work. I picked up a
Simply Bar on the way in as I've badly wanted to try the new Simply Whey
bars. I went for the coconut flavor and
paid a whopping $3.15 for ONE bar. I was
a little annoyed at how expensive it was but bought it anyway. The bar was actually really good, it had a
nice coconut flavour to it and the normal crunch of a regular Simply Bar. I would like to say I will buy more in the
future but at that cost I will go broke!
For lunch I walked
around downtown and felt like NOTHING. I was on the prowl for a good soup but the bistro next door had 'shrimp and vegetable broth soup' which sounded really gross. I
was so annoyed that I just went back to the office and had caesar salad that I left
in the fridge from yesterday and one curry spring roll.
Pretty boring but I’m full now.
For an
afternoon snack I had these quinoa cookies I received in the mail today from GOGO QUINIOA. They sent me the most amazing products ever and I'm really excited to try them out and share them with you all. I couldn't help but dig into the cookies! I like that they are individually packaged and they actually taste fantastic for a healthified cookie. Very happy I've discovered this brand and I'll post a review of all the products soon!
Ok so I felt like another snack because one cookie just isn't enough. I had some pom seeds!
Dinner is another catering event at work so I'll be having the same as last week, BBQ chicken, rice, potatoes and a mountain of hot sauce!
Hope you're all having a fantastic Wednesday :)
You eat healthy but very delicious dishes :D

Fun post! Love reading about all the great stuff you're eating. Although $3.15 for one lousy bar seems a bit much!
ReplyDeleteMan, your body reacts differently than mine does because after I eat a bunch of crap, my first run or two afterward feels AWFUL. As in, I have to push myself to get through it because bad food really slows me down and makes running a challenge. So I'm kind of jealous that you ran on the treadmill and felt awesome after all that food. ;) Good for you for getting back on track, though, and slowly working toward your goals.
ReplyDeleteAnd what you ate looks awesome! I could totally get behind those Coconut Whey bars if they weren't so expensive!
I usually don't have such a burst of energy after eating crappy but for some reason today was great, maybe it was the coffee I had? I'm more like you though where as its harder to get back into the swing of things after a junky food binge :P
DeleteThat breakfast is beautiful! And whoever can succeed at making quinoa cookies taste good is my hero! :-)
ReplyDeleteMu husband loves peanut butter and bananas only he puts honey on top. And why is it that companies always feel like they should repeat the same meal over and over? If I recorded like this it might help my diet.Then I'd have to show all those little handfuls of cc chips that I suffer through.
ReplyDeleteYum...you're eating really well there. :) The Quinoa cookies sounds great.
ReplyDeleteQuinoa cookies- yum!! And that bar looks great too, but that is expensive! I need to more homemade bars:)
ReplyDeleteThat Simply Whey bar looks interesting. I'll have to look for those here.
ReplyDeleteCookies made with quinoa?? Hmm...sounds like a good excuse to eat a cookie! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty cool wednesday! I hope you have a good week!
ReplyDeleteI love the pomegranate seeds...especially when there is not work required :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great week Natalie!
That dinner looks like my kind of dinner - perfect to eat in front of TV xx
ReplyDeletePretty breakfast!
ReplyDeleteThe quinoa cookie sounds good. I've been looking for some gluten- and dairy- free treats. And that they are individually wrapped is great; it definitely helps me with portion control.
Those simply bars look/sound neat. I'll have to keep a look out for them.
ReplyDeletehmmmm....
I usually can't get enough hot sauce either. Love the stuff!
Your breakfast looks delicious and those quinoa cookies are intriguing! I'll have to try them.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a yummy day!
ReplyDeleteI totally want to try those quinoa cookies.
ReplyDeleteVery healthy!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great day of food! The bar looks really interesting as do the cookies. I love finding interesting and unique products. Love your blue nail polish too! I'm obsessed with nail polish.
