I can’t thank you all enough for your nice comments on my half marathon recap! They made me so happy… 
This week is surprisingly flying by for me. I thought with the standardized testing that my kiddos are doing this week it would drag on, but it’s actually the opposite! No complaints here.
Let’s jump right into this weeks eats, thanks once again to Jenn at Peas and Crayons! Check out her blog for her own W.I.A.W. post along with plenty of other new blogs to discover.
7:30 – Breakfast
Since the 1/2 marathon, I have been exhausted by 7 p.m, so I’ve been collapsing in bed extremely early this week. I’ve been sleeping at least 8 1/2 hours a night and waking up before my alarm even goes off! It’s amazing! I really can’t get over how much better I feel, and the positive impact it has on my day…. not only that, but I also have had the chance to make and eat my breakfasts at home before work! No more scarfing down my cold breakfast as I hear my class stampeding down the hallway towards my classroom! It’s divine, lemme tell you. 
Yesterday I decided to switch it up a bit and surprise my taste buds with some french toast! I soaked a 100-calorie Sandwich Thin in a mixture of:
- 1 egg, 1 egg white
-
tsp of cinnamon
-
packet of Truvia
-
splash of vanilla extract
Before eating, I topped my french toast with a few TBSP of PB2. I also had some peppermint tea on the side. Delicious start to my morning!
11:45 – Lunch
I went from a really awesome breakfast to a very weak lunch, I’ll admit. I didn’t have much in the fridge, so I threw together a wrap with hummus and some grilled chicken topped with spinach. On the side I had some cut up veggies. Did this fill me up? Not even a little bit. It was a long afternoon of hunger, and I was not a happy camper. My mind must have been stuck on how amazing my breakfast was and it totally slipped my mind to pack much more than this. Duh. Lesson learned.
4:00 – Snack ATTACK.
As soon as I walked in my door, I threw my bag down and quickly put together my favorite “after school snack.” That picture is not actually from yesterday (my hunger did not allow me to grab my camera), but it looked exactly the same!
In the mix:
-
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
-
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
-
handful frozen spinach
-
tsp. cinnamon
-
1/4 cup fiber one
This did the trick of holding me over through my workout which included 30 minutes on the elliptical and a Bodypump class. I thought my legs were sore before the class…. stairs are NOT my friend today.
7:30 – Dinner
His and her turkey burger dinner (with some papertowels on the side. Classy.). Our dinner came together quickly thanks to a certain grill master (George Forman), and some leftover roasted veggies we had from dinner last night. I had my turkey burger on top of a bed of spinach and alongside the veggies, Bobby had his on a sandwich thin with pepperjack cheese and with some sautéed spinach on the side.
There ya have it, my eats from Tuesday!
What is your favorite form of a burger? Turkey? Ground beef? Do share!
When was the last time you were so hungry you could have eaten your arm off?
What is the best thing you’ve eaten this week?
Also, just a FYI…. I recieved a few emails asking for my training plan, and I promise I’ll be sharing what I have sometime this week!
Good eats! Glad that your body is letting you get rested! It does feel amazing to crawl out of bed and feel alive- doesn’t it!
……I have been skimping on the lunch thing too due to the lack of good things in my stash as school. I want your supper for lunch today. Ship it to me, please- okay?
I love a good burger- all of them in their own way. That’s a tough one to pick a favorite on!!!
It’s in the mail….
why one eating spinach and one eating brussels sprouts? because of liking of veggie-kind?
Because I don’t share my roasted veggies
Just kiddin… Bobby doesn’t venture far from spinach, so I get the rest of the veggies all to myself!
I’m actually not a huge fan of burgers. The texture bothers me! I eat chicken sandwiches occasionally, though, so I guess that kind of counts? Happy Teacher Appreciation Week

Thank you!!
Definitely a falafel burger with cool cucumber sauce on it. I absolutely love falafel.
Maybe you didn’t have enough volume in your lunch to tide you over. It seems like it’s comparable to your dinner but with less veggies and with slightly less protein. Try the same lunch except with beans in the wrap and see how that goes. Beans usually keep me full for a long time. Love the color variety of your dinner though
Thanks for the suggestions! Usually I make sure to pack enough, but quite honestly I just wasn’t really thinking that morning!
My favorite kind of burger?
….any burger. Let’s be real here
That’s why I think your amaxing!
that breakfast sounds delicious! i need to get myself some more pB2!
Anything is delicious when PB2 is involved!!
I have been the same way about sleeping since my half marathon too! I have been in bed by 9 the last three nights. Yesterday I got 9 1/2 hours of sleep and still feel tired! Lol
Ok I’m glad I’m not the only one! I don’t know whether it’s from the early wake up call on Sunday morning, or being exhausted from running for 2+ hours, but I just can’t seem to get enough sleep this week! Hopefully by the weekend we will both feel a little more caught up
Yum, your french toast looks sooo good!
It tasted even better than it looks!
I’ve really only had regular ol’ beef burgers (which I love!) but this weekend I tried a bison burger it was delicious! I need to try a turkey burger sometime.
My favorite burger… which isn’t healthy one bit is one that my grocery store makes… beef mixed with cheese cubes and bacon… soooooo delicious! definitely the best burger I have ever tasted!
