what i ate wednesday: issue 43

Figure 1. Breakfast: a bowl (x2) of Post Shredded Wheat and Kashi Indigo Morning (have you tried Kashi's new cereals yet?), a sliced banana, and almond milk.

 Figure 2. Lunch: a spinach salad with a tomato, roasted red peppers, leftover wild rice, and drizzled in tahini-balsamic special sauce as inspired by Sarah @ Feeeding Brain and Body's Special Sauce. Carrot sticks and peanut butter on the side. This was my first time using tahini and it made this salad really filling (hello healthy fat and protein!) and delicious. A great substitute for hummus.

Figure 3. Afternoon snack: a Fuji apple and smoked almonds.

Figure 4. Dinner: leftover tomato, squash, and red pepper gratin alongside a spinach salad with blueberries, feta cheese, honey-roasted almonds, balsamic vinegar, and agave nectar.

Figure 5. Dessert: plain Greek yogurt, EnviroKidz Organic Koala Crisp Cereal, and Enjoy Life soy-free mini chocolate chips.

And that concludes another What I Ate Wednesday (featuring what I ate Tuesday, July 24).

Since it's fun, food, AND fitness WIAW month it is time to tell you about today's workouts. This morning I hit the pavement for a 30-minute run at working pace (went super fast!). I took two short walks during the day and I finished it all off with a 60-minute sweaty kickboxing class at the gym.
