Oh My Gawd…I seriously canNOT believe it is [more than] halfway through July already! Where does the time go? Plus it’s Wednesday too…you know what that means??? Yup. What I Ate Wednesday, with my fav foodie, Jenn (and by fav I mean the girl who I’m cursing all day long for making me drool all over my desk anytime I see her blog or Instagram posts)!
Here’s my eats…can’t wait to read all of yours!
M1 – 2 slices of Ezekiel raisin toast with coconut oil. Then I drank some ACV concoction by Vanilla Bean Lean. I usually just drink about 2 tsp in the morning with a bunch of water and some warm lemon water first thing, but she has a different idea so I’m going to try this for a while! Then I had my BCAA’s during my workout. PWO I had an egg white omelet with fresh salsa and a sprinkle of turkey sausage and this heavenly pumpkin pie protein shake. I wasn’t planning on it, but came across a can of pumpkin in the cabinet and boy am I glad I did…it was delish!
M3 – Stuffed peppers again with a side of quinoa. Can’t get enough of these bad boys…..
M4 – Salmon kebabs (also, again) with grilled veggies. So summery, and I’m gonna do it again this weekend!!
M5 – FAB seared scallop salad that I posted on Instagram over the weekend…if you follow me, you can find the recipe there…if you don’t then you should 
M6 – 1/2 cup of nonfat cottage cheese (not pictured)
As for fitness, I’ve been doing new workouts this week…today was shoulder/calf/abs day (yay) and this is what I did…
p.s. remember, check Bodybuilding.com or youtube.com for videos on how to do these exercises if you’re not sure how!
What did you all do today? Do you guys have any special morning remedies or drinks you have?What are your favorite shoulder exercises? I want to add some new ones!
oh man all of those eats sound delicious! I seriously am jealous of those.
Thanks, Alex…better get in the kitchen!!
So psyched you are giving the detox drink a try – I LOVE how it makes me feel!
Electra! Yes, me too, I was doing my own version(s) but love to try new stuff! How long before you noticed a difference? it’s taking a little bit of getting used to lol…
I do have a smoothie I make for breakfast every morning. In fact I really never eat a normal breakfast. My smoothie usually includes, Almond Milk, Berries, Spinach, Kale, Carrot, Miso, chia seeds, oat bran, quinoa, bcaas, spirulina powder, chocolate mint leaves, and Naked Juice Green machine. Btw I love that you take BCAAs something more females out there should start taking.
Thanks Alex, I’ll thank Jamie Eason for the BCAA tip!! I love them, they’re actually a treat for me, but I’d like to find some that don’t contain artificial sweetener…perhaps the plain flavor wouldn’t, I’ll have to check that out!
I love scallops and have seen them all over blog world today, totally adding them to my menu for next week. Yummy. Thanks for the inspiration.
Abby, it was so good, I love them and haven’t made them in forever!
How do you typically prepare your quinoa?
I usually just make 1 cup dry with 2 cups water, bring to boil and simmer until water is absorbed. I’ll be honest, I don’t really care for it alone, but love it mixed into basically anything!
I found a recipe that for the same amount of quinoa you mentioned, you add 2 cloves of minced garlic, basil, and 1/2 c of shredded parmesan cheese. It’s pretty tasty.
Ohhh, that sounds really good! I’m such a garlic fan…could eat it in everything! I’m going to try that…thanks for sharing!
