What I Ate Wednesday #24
Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a great week! I feel like the weeks are getting busier and busier! Do you? I think all the chaos of the things to do around the holiday season has began to take a toll on me. Monday night I was exhausted….I could barely keep my eyes open at 8pm! Yesterday I did my long run for the week….19 miles and it took just about every ounce of energy I had to get through it. By mile 15 my mind was ready to quit (my body felt great). I also haven’t had much of an appetite lately (which is NOT like me at all! I always have an appetite). Nothing except smoothies interests me at all. Let’s hope I am not getting sick! I know a few of you have been down for a few days due to minor colds. I am trying with all my power to avoid getting sick! Let’s keep our fingers crossed!
Well, like every week, Wednesday is the day to share our delicious meals with one another so we can drool be inspired to get creative with our own dishes! This weeks meals aren’t anything too crazy, but I did try a new food! 
Like I mentioned above, the morning started off with a 19 miles run…..As soon as that was done:
Meal #1
I forgot to take a picture this week, so I am recycling last weeks (sorry)! Smoothie bowl with coconut milk, protein, frozen cherries and banana, ricotta, glutamine, BCAA’s and some xanthum gum!
Meal #2
Baked cinnamon raisin oatmeal and a bowl of cottage cheese with cinnamon and cacao nibs.
Meal #3
Oooo yes! My new food…tempeh! I finally bought some at Whole Foods last week and tried it! It was actually pretty darn good! I served it over some steamed kale, Portobello mushroom, brussels and cranberries with some Braggs seasoning!
Meal #4
2 brown rice rice cakes with my new addiction – Sunflower seed butter!! OMG! Yum! Have you tried it? with some scrambled eggs and egg whites with spinach and portobellos.
Meal #5
Dinner was cajun baked salmon with sautéed shaved brussels sprouts and parsnip and cauliflower mash (I know, I still owe you this recipe!) This was AMAZING!! Yum! It’s one of the few things interesting me besides smoothies right now.
Meal #6
The biggest bowl of protein “fluff” ever! I used double the banana and some mixed frozen berries. All the other ingredients are the same as the smoothie above! I have been eating this every night before bed! I am addicted! (and it’s the only thing I am in the mood for!)
