    WIAW: Repeat Offender

    July 13, 2016 by Emily Cooper 7 Comments

     

    When I say "hey!", you say "awkward blog post intro"

    "Hey!"

    ...............

     

    Now that that's over with, let's get to what y'all came hizzere for.

     

    Chocolate Moose Selfie

     

    Oh, right right. Awkward selfies with chocolate moose (meese?) are saved for saturdays, or like .....never. My b. Let's eat.

    What I Ate Wednesday Logo

    Being the high maintenance diva I am, I started my morning off in the most glamorous way possible.

     

     

    Breakfast eggs and toast

     

    ...Eating a burnt omelette and toast out of tupperware...at my desk, and drinking coffee out of a mason jar since I always forget my travel mug at work. Glamorous, oh the flossy flossy.

     

    After an hour of telling kids that wooden kabobs and plastic butter knives are NOT in fact toys while attempting some fruit kabob making, I ran home for a quick lunch.

    Big Pickle Salad

    A salad. Surprised? Me neither.

    Some baby kale and purple kraut from my CSA, along with lotsa cottage cheese and a hugh jass pickle...because I'm kinda a big dill 🙂

    But in reality, I bought a $6 gallon of dill pickles just so I can use it for kombucha making instead of going out to buy another jar for $10...So I pretty much got some free pickles and a cheap and bigger home for Charlene (that's ma buch!).

    Eating an entire salty cucumber on top of lunch makes Emily a quite full gal, so no afternoon snackage was needed. Instead, I guzzled down some pre-workout, and did a total body workout before dinner.

    Weights and Pre Workout

     

    While I really wanted to take a cool dip in the pool, the thought of pulling on a bathing suit while a being a tired, sweaty beast sounded 10 times as unappealing. Putting on a bathing suit while you're drenched in sweat is just about as painful as taking one off with a sunburn. It's best to avoid these situations.

    As I've said before, summer weather leaves me craving two things literally err'day.

    Ice cream, and salads. Boom to the balance, bitches.

    Cottage Cheese and Turkey Salad

    Lucky for my sweaty, bathing suit wrestling self, I tend to eat more salads on a regular basis than soft serve twists with rainbow sprinkles, but if my stomach had it her way, they'd be neck and neck.

    Dinner was pretty much a knock off of lunch, with some added broccoli and deli turkey since I ran out of more cottage cheese. And some mustard, cuz duh, it's me.

    Half of Sweet Potato in Hand

     

    And a sweet potato smothered in peanut butter and cinnamon, cuz a girl needs her fix of beta carotene and nut butters on the daily. The first step is admitting you have a problem, right?

     

    Make it a great day!

    What food(s) do you crave in the summer?

    Do you call them sprinkles or jimmies? Rainbow = sprinkles. Chocolate = Jimmies. It's scientific fact people, look it up.

      I totally agree that pulling on a bathing suit after a workout isn't very pleasant. That sweet potato snack looks good! I have 3 sweet potatoes, and I need to get on topping them up and eating them. I love your sillly selfies, by the way, and also topping a salad with a pickle and cottage cheese = YUMMY!

      I love pickles! (And great idea for a kombucha jar! haha)

      I crave lots of fruits in the summer! Frozen mango, watermelon, strawberries 🙂 It gets so hot here I think I just like something cold!

        Oh man, I think I could eat a boat load of watermelon and cherries for each meal in the summer and be perfectly content. As long as there is ice cream for dessert. 😉
