happy wednesday!
what i ate wednesday no less.
make sure to check out other what i ate wednesday posts here. and here.
yesterday started off early with a trip to the gym. i had a piece of udi’s millet chia bread, trader joe’s chunky peanut butter, and a few banana slices. again, too out of it to take a photo.
it was a tough day – chest | triceps | shoulders | abs. plus a thruster + burpee finishers. my armpit flab was shaking when i got home.
carrot | pineapple | banana | turmeric | cinnamon | almond milk | flax | ice | VEGA SPORT
made my usual post-workout protein smoothie. i love vega sport so much. i would literally drink a smoothie for every meal if i could. just. so. good.
i downed half the smoothie while i got ready. with my super short hair, my getting ready time has been significantly cut. before i left for work, i whipped up this tasty egg-y breakfast.
eggs | roasted sweet potato | broccoli | brown rice | kimchi
since i posted my favorite protein breakfast scramble on tuesday, i decided to make a similar scramble. nothing better than eggs and rice and sweet potatoes. i finished off my smoothie when i got to work.
it was a crazy busy day. i have a not so favorite client that keeps putting in new requests. luckily, we played a team game for lunch.
roasted sweet potato | cucumber | zucchini | carrots | romaine | white beans | pumpkin seeds
yellow bowl + bad lighting = not so good photo.
this salad was much more delicious than it looks. the afternoon was full up. i had my weekly cup of coffee with coconut oil for a little pick me up and some carrots + peanut butter.
after work, i made the trek out to h&m in hopes of finding a cute maxi dress and some shorts. i found a cute pair of shorts, but the dresses did not work. some were even too small!
since i started lifting, i seem to need a slightly bigger size in some stores. but apparently not in h&m. i grabbed handfuls of raw mixed nuts on my drive to target. favorite store of course.
side note: i had a lot more nuts than 7…
i literally hardly ever leave target without purchasing something. and let’s face it, who does. it’s good i went because t-shirts were 40% off. this girl snagged herself like 5. plus, i had a coupon. and cartwheel. seriously, i love target.
shredded chicken | morning glory muffin w/coconut oil | brussels + radish + peas
i got home much later than usual, and the whole drive home i was debating on what i should make. i had some frozen shredded chicken and cooked it up quick with some veggies and a frozen morning glory muffin. you can tell from this photo that i knew i was going to be a wiaw post, because i didn’t throw everything in the skillet at the same time. i try to take good looking food photos for you guys occasionally.
and i also found out exciting news last night…

Hi! Found you through the WIAW link-up! I love your photos, they all look so appetizing! That protein scramble looks really good. I have never had kimchi, how spicy is it?
I have a love/hate relationship with Target. I love buying EVERYTHING, but my hubby hates when I make a trip there because he knows I will not just come home with what we need.
yay! i’m so glad you found me!
kimchi can be spicy, but i make mine pretty mild. i am a bit obsessed with it.
and i hear you with target. they just have too much good stuff!
Welcome to the I’m Fit Possible community! I just joined a few weeks ago and I love it! Your food looks delicious, especially that smoothie! Yum!!
Thanks, Brie. I am so excited to be part of the community! 🙂
I seriously love Target and the cartwheel app only encourages my spending there because I have coupons!
so. true. and i feel like when i use the cartwheel, i get even more paper coupons at the end of my purchase…which keeps me coming back again!
That dinner looks scrumptious! I am the same way with target, they just have such cute clothes and shoes! And hey that grocery section is becoming one of my favorites!
I had to introduce myself too! I’m a fellow I’m Fit Possible ambassador 🙂 Love your blog!
oh, the shoes at Target! They have super cute sandels for summer. and they definitely have some good grocery stuff. even good things for this gluten-free girl. So glad to meet you! Heading to check out your blog right now 🙂
Congrats on the fit possible accolade! I love your meals- especially the savoury breakfast scramble! Yum!
thanks, Arman!!
Congrats – Fellow I’m Fit Possible chicka here!
Your smoothie sounds incredible, I think I may take a rain check on the banana and give that a try 🙂
Uuuugh re: your comment with clothing sizes, the human body is maddening how we can become so much leaner, stronger and faster but clothes just don’t fit the same! Never mind it’s a fun excuse to buy more 🙂
Hey Katie! I love meeting new I’m Fit Possible chickas!
I hear you on the clothing sizes…but it is REALLY great excuse to shop and buy more 🙂
