WIAW #22: Fitting it all in

Good morning friends! :)

I know it sounds ridiculous, but I always let out a big sigh of relief after I put up my What I Ate Wednesday post. Taking pictures all day, resizing them, and writing up a post before Wednesday morning can be pretty stressful! Especially when I had an online learning module to complete yesterday as well as some textbook readings and a meeting on campus. But somehow I managed to get it all done - and just in time for WIAW! Head over to Jenn's blog to check out all the other great posts!



I started the day off with a new Kashi cereal: Toasted Cinnamon Crisp! I had it with vanilla Greek yogurt, a banana, blueberries, and raspberries.



I was so excited when I was at the grocery store with Meg on Monday night and saw it on display. Even though Cheryl didn't really like it, I needed to try it out anyway! And it's a good thing I did, because I actually loved it! It's crunchy, but mixing it with the yogurt gives it a nice softness. And I LOVE the cinnamon flavour.



When I compared the nutrition facts to the Kashi Honey Almond Flax that I usually buy, after adjusting for serving size I found that it contained less sugar, more protein, more iron, and more zinc. Awesome!

Since I had the morning off from class (because of the online learning module), I decided to use the time to go to the gym. I did an easy 3.25 mile run followed by lots of stretching and some ab exercises. I've decided not to push it with my mileage right now because my knee has been acting up.

For lunch I made my favourite PWO meal: a big carby sandwich filled with healthy tuna salad, spinach, and tomatoes. Plus an apple on the side.



Healthy tuna salad
Serves 2

1 can of solid white tuna in water
1 green onion, chopped
1 stalk of celery, finely diced
3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper

I spent the first part of the afternoon doing that online learning module, then had to take a break to go to a meeting on campus. But after 2.5 hours of sitting, I was grateful for the chance to get outside and stretch my legs! I packed some fruit (pineapple, mango, strawberries) and cereal (Quaker Oatmeal Squares, Kellogg's Fibre Plus) to snack on during the meeting.



When I got home after I went straight back to doing that learning module. It took me forever - I didn't finish it until after dinner! Dinner was pretty spectacular though: shrimp and brown rice with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, avocado, parlsey, feta cheese, lemon juice, and olive oil over a bed of spinach.



After doing even more homework, I finally stopped for the night and made myself a snack of cottage cheese, 2% Oikos vanilla, homemade granola, goji berries, and chia seeds. I enjoyed this while catching up on twitter and blogs. I could have done more homework... but I've got priorities people. ;)



Today's a leg day at the gym, then I have a few chapters to read before my six hour day on campus. Wednesdays are always a long day! I hope it's a good one for you guys. :)
