Some thoughts and discussions from me.
Some thoughts and discussions from me.
Good morning!
I’m finally starting to get back in the swing of things this week. After a week full of family and fun – and basically eating every single meal out, it’s been a bit of an adjustment to go back to the real world. This week has involved lots of training, teaching classes, computer work and – you guessed it – cooking.
Well, sort of. I’ve definitely been utilizing leftovers
Anyway, I passed on the early breakfast, taught my 7:30 a.m.core class, and then trained a client. By the time I got home at 10:00, I was ravenous!
3 eggs cooked in coconut oil, with kale and mushrooms and sauerkraut fixed that right up.
Plus several spoonfuls of coconut butter as I was cleaning up the dishes.
So delicious.
After breakfast, I had to book it to my other gym to train another client. I was going to hit up a hot yoga class afterward, but still felt so full from breakfast, so I decided to wait until later. Instead, I walked Niko (it was a gorgeous sunny day!) and then came inside for lunch a little after 2:00. I wasn’t too hungry since I’d just eaten a big meal 4 hours before, so I kept it light with some fish and leftover cabbage.
My, my – that just does not sounds appetizing. It tasted OK, honestly. Did the job as a lunch meal. I also had a bag of Popchips, which were delicious.
(don’t forget to enter my Popchips and Slim for Life giveaway!)
Also, throughout the day I consumed three mugs of this tea:
And a cup of coffee. I’m back on the coffee, and have put off my plans to quit coffee for an undetermined amount of time. Life just kinda sucks without it (or at least mornings haha)
After lunch, I cleaned up, trained another client at the gym by my house, taught a quick class, and then took that yoga class. It was a 6:15-7:15, which is a little late for me. I like to be home by 7:00, and watching shows to wind down the rest of the night. But I really had a yoga craving, so I hit up corepower, and I’m glad I did. What a great class!
Starving again when I got home at 7:45, I scarfed down some microwaved dinner:
Leftovers from Monday night – microwaved chicken stirfry w/ a microwaved sweet potato, topped with butter, and salt. I love that combination on sweet potatoes, and never top them with anything else because butter and salt is just so damn tasty! I went back for seconds of both.
Is it sad that at this point I still hadn’t taken a shower? (life as a trainer) After dinner I headed upstairs and took an epsom salt bath with a lucious glass of Malbec, followed by a shower, and then some TV and a macaroon.
Ahhh. At the end of the day, life is good.
Do you like to be home by a certain time range during the work week?
life is good! are those sardines? I always think i crave them with mustard, then i eat 2 and am done. Maybe too fishy? still love them though. p.s. i carry extra strong mints after eating those. LOL!

I love having mint tea. It makes me feel so full, I guess because of the mintiness. Your breakfast looks go good!

Love the meals as always! That breakfast has me dying for eggs now! I don’t blame you on the coffee, I’m not quite sure I could handle cutting that out completely ever! It does make for a so much better morning 😉

That sounds like a great day! Life without coffee really just isn’t the same.
Bleck, sorry, but your fishy lunch just made me gag a little. Haha. I love fish, but I’ve never been able to get into the sardines (I’m assuming that’s what those are?).
I like to be home around 4-ish from work. It’s nice to be able to squeeze in a workout or relax before I have to get started on dinner.

I definitely prefer to be home by the 7ish time frame during the week, enough time to make dinner, eat, clean up, shower, and relax/blog for a bit at night. It doesn’t always happen like that, but it’s definitely nice when it does!

I like to be home by 7:30 in the evening, but Mondays and Wednesdays at the gym usually run until 8 or 8:30. It’s worth it for the ass kicking work out (circuit/tabata style classes) but it makes the evening feel a bit rushed.

its a good thing I ate eggs at lunch before reading this post, I always crave eggs after seeing other ppl eat them! I am definitely someone who likes to be home at 7 during the work week. If I am going out to dinner I need to mentally prepare myself to be out “late.”
we have been loving peppermint tea lately, we never thought we would say that as we are not tea people but coffee people hehe but liking the tea late afternoon 🙂

Haha you are right cabbage and fish doesn’t sound appetizing at all 🙂
Jan @ Sprouts n Squats recently posted…What I ate Wednesday #4
Definitely looks like an interesting lunch but it could be good 🙂 Sometimes the strangest things turn out to be the best meals! I just started eating Sauerkraut and found a dill one that I’ve been loving at Whole Foods. Tastes like a pickle!

Hey why has no one mentioned the macaroon?!!! Is that homemade? If so, I’d love the recipe. I’m also curious about sauerkraut….I’ve recently heard it’s good for your insides when eaten at the end of the meal. Is this why you eat it, or is it tasty too? Do you make your own? I’m somewhat new to this site (not a personal trainer, just a fitness instructor, and came across you while looking for bootcamp ideas…kept coming back because your site is great!) so if you can point me in the direction of a past post regarding sauerkraut I’d gladly go back and read it!
Haha I’m the opposite – I shower way too much. Sometimes three times a day! I’ve only gone straight from the gym to training a client a handful of times and it makes me feel icky…

It’s a different story if I’m sweaty! But lately, I don’t do too many workouts that get me sweating, unless it’s hot yoga, in which case I HAVE to shower directly afterward.
