Hey all! I hope you're all having a good week - halfway through! Although, personally, I wish time would just slow down a bit! It's finally fall here in Chicago and I pulled out my jacket for the first time since May! For today's WIAW, I'm showing you what I had yesterday, a day including a visit with my career counselor and some job hunting. If you're new to What I Ate Wednesday, head on over to
Peas and Crayons to find out what it's all about!
I woke up bright and early, posted to my blog, had some coffee and got ready for the gym. My stomach started growling before I headed out, so I also had about 1/3 a banana before leaving.
I had 3 miles and an 18 minute strength workout from
PurleyFit on the agenda. After working out, I headed home, showered, got dressed and then made breakfast:
Chocolate Protein Oat Bran! It included the rest of that banana and Sunbutter. I like sunbutter, but not as much as almond butter. They have been out of AB at my Trader Joe's for weeks and weeks so this is what I bought. Oh well.
After breakfast I prepared for my meeting with my career counselor, which included double checking my resume and writing down a bunch of questions I had so I wouldn't forget. Then I hopped on the bus and headed downtown! I was a little early so I hung out in school for about a half hour (kind of awkward ) and then had my meeting. Afterwards I walked about 2 miles to a Starbucks in the Gold Coast, stopping at a GNC to buy some Quest Bars on the way. I hadn't had one in ages so for Lunch #1 I had a White Chocolate Raspberry Quest Bar, half a green Naked juice, and a skim cappuccino.
After a few hours at Starbucks I'd gotten frustrated with their poor internet and decided to head out. I stopped at Whole Foods on my way home and grabbed a salad which I ate when I arrived home for Lunch #2:
The salad included greens, carrots, beets, artichokes, sweet potatoes, chicken, parmesan cheese, and balsamic vinegar and olive oil. For dinner I made a beef patty that I'd bought at Trader Joes (my apartment now smells like hamburgers ), with saut ed collards, asparagus and butternut squash. Served with ketchup; so classy.
For dessert I had a Blueberry Noosa yogurt, with some more sunbutter and about a TON of Ghirardelli Sea Salt and Almond Dark Chocolate. This stuff is like crack.
I also had several Chimes Ginger Chews throughout the day, and a couple samples while at Whole Foods. Always bites here and there that don't show up in a WIAW post, which I'm sure is true of most participating bloggers!
What's your favorite kind of nut butter? (or seed )
Do you like to walk places instead of driving or taking public transportation?
