Totally slept through my alarm this morning. I’ve got myself an early one this morning, so as you’re reading this, I’m likely training some peeps in the gym. Good times 
Luckily, I decided yesterday that I’d partake in a What I Ate Wednesday post, so I had this post ready to go before going to bed last night.
For those who can’t/don’t want to watch the video, I shall show you, anyway, but with less personality, obviously.
Breakfast 1: 7:15 AM – Pre-Run:
Half a banana for some glucose. Yay. Exciting. I also had some coffee before heading out.
Breakfast 2: 8:30 AM – Post-Run:
I had an awesome run, guys. The weather was spectacular, and I felt strong the entire way through. As-soon-as-I walked through the door, I chowed down on that TJ’s fruit wrap, and then fixed myself up a recovery drink with VEGA’s recovery shake in Acai berry with a little water and ice. It was surprisingly tasty! I’ve had great VEGA products, along with some notso great ones.
I also noticed the shake packet contained beet powder in it, which made me wonder whether it was to make it a red color or for recovery purposes. I just read in Men’s Health that beets are a good pre-workout food because beets’ nitrates help blood vessels dilate, which increases oxygen to the muscles. That’d also be good for post-workout, so…someone get on that 
Breakfast #3? You betcha! 10:00 AM:
Oats made with So Delicious coconut milk, PB2, cinnamon, sea salt, blueberries, and stevia, topped with some Greek yogurt, along with a side of egg whites with salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast. Yummy and filling in my belly
I also had another cup of coffee some time around this time, which turned out to be a bad idea. I think the two cups, combined with the recovery drink, gave me the shakes – literally. As I was cooking my oats, my hands were shaky. I hate that feeling! Thankfully they went away after my breakfast digested.
Lunch: 2:30 PM:
Lunch was a bit random today, and I usually have a snack in between breakfast and lunch, but with three breakfasts yesterday morning, I didn’t really need one 
Instead, I waited and enjoyed this lunch of tuna salad, made with Greek yogurt, mayo, onion, and relish, on some brown rice cakes with some orange cherry tomatoes, and some carrots and pineapple on the side. Pretty decent lunch!
Snack: 5:10 PM:
A client cancelled, so I had an extra hour between a few yesterday afternoon, so I hopped on the elliptical for about a half hour for some Kindle Elliptical reading. Good times. I pedaled away at an easy pace whilst waiting. My main goal was to get through more of this awesome book, not really to break a sweat. However, I was feeling snacky, so I made a little protein shake of chocolate Fit Mixer protein powder (<—full disclosure: affiliate link,) banana, peanut butter, ice, and milk.
Tasty combo! It’s hard for me to find a chocolate protein powder I like, and I really enjoy the flavor/texture of this one.
Dinner: 7:30 PM:
After training, I quickly came home and got started on an early dinner – omelets! Eggs are one of my go-to 15 minute dinners. I was home by 7:10, and dinner was on the table by 7:30. Boom.
This omelet contained 3 whole eggs, some zucchini, onion, jalepeno, tomato, cheese, and a little ground pork. I enjoyed it with half an Ezekiel English muffin with butter, along with some extra veggies on the side.
The omelet totally hit the spot when I topped it with some avocado.
Oh, and I also made sure not to cook the ground pork at too high of a temperature, because I read the other day that cooking meat at temps above 300 degrees releases cancer-causing toxins. Yikes! So much for seared scallops…
I enjoyed a hefty sized glass of moscato afterward, too, but it failed to catch the camera’s eye. Oops

Congrats to……..Heather!
Heather, please send me your info, and I’ll get your band out to you ASAP
Have a happy Wednesday, folks!
Do you ever drink recovery drinks/supplements? I typically just refuel with breakfast – aside from my aminos – but I like the feeling the recovery shake gave me!
Favorite type of omelet?
I always go for the veggie omelet at restaurants…I guess at home, too!
I love all the high protein meals! I keep eyeing that vega recovery powder every time I go to whole foods! I’ve been dying to try and now I might just have too! I’m always look for the best ways to recover post workout!

I was worried those were egg yolks in your tuna salad!

I usually do at least a half of a banana with some PB before my long runs. For something like 3-5 I can handle no food, but for anything more, I gotta get in something.
I’ll send you an email!
OMG, I want to come eat with you! I am with you, I normally refuel with food. I’m an eater for sure. Veggie omelet all the way here! LOVE them!

Slept past my alarm this morning, too. Just one of those days?
I’ve recently been given a case of Muscle Milk and have to say I kind of like it. Good for days when my breakfast lacks a little protein…

Love all of your eats. I do love omelets for a quick and healthy option, usually throwing in some spinach, tomatoes, onions (i love sweet onions) basil and topping with hummus.

I’ve never added hummus to it before. Bet that’s a tasty addition!
Oh your omelet looks & sounds so tasty!! I always order a veggie omelete @ restaurants.
Have a wonderful day girl!

I first glance I thought those were egg yolks in your lunch, and all I could think was Paige is hard core eating raw yolks ha! Glad you cleared the air on that one
LOL! Grrrrr
I always go for vegetable omelets at restaurants, especially diners. I can never make it as well as they can!

My gym has an extensive menu of recovery shakes! I’ve only tried one once — I earned a coupon! – but it was so good; I should really get them more often!

Nutritional yeast on eggs? Yum!!

It’s actually very tasty!
I love a good greek omelet – feta tastes good on everything!
I do my workouts first thing so I usually just make sure my breakfast is filling and has a lot of protein in it – makes for the perfect recovery for me.

I’m not a big smoothie-maker, either. For some reason, the idea of cleaning a blender is more daunting to me than cleaning a couple skillets.
That is one giant omelette- it looks delicious!

I can’t imagine eating beets before my workouts haha, it would seem so weird.
Eggs are totally one of my go to dinners now! I had them last night also:) I used to hate omelettes, but now I’m a little obsessed with them.
I definitely love to refuel with food too, not much of a supplement girl.
I swear we are the only people that hate the almondilla vega flavour. Ick. I think its the almond extract in it that gets me. It tastes like processed cherries to me haha.

I know, right?? I’m a little iffy on the beets before working out, too.
Eggs for dinner? Yes! I love doing that. Great post!

I love a green monster with protein after hard workout. I like mine with ice too and it’s almost like having a dessert. Eggs are my go-to meal when I want to make it quick….I might just have an omelet for dinner.
I’m lovin’ those little orange tomatoes too. I have a very yummy beet recipe. Check it out here http://www.hungryhealthygirl.com/2012/07/24/snackity-snacks-beet-hummus/

That omelette looks tasty!

I am not a fan of veggies in my omelettes. I prefer to just get sausage or ham and cheese! Then I have fruit on the side. I dont really associate omelettes with veggies!
I love veggie omelets!! I love my sunwarrior protein and fitmixer aminos!
