Best Way to End the Day {WIAW}

August 21, 2013

Morning Sun

Here’s how I ended my day yesterday:

After training yesterday afternoon, I took Niko on a short walk to experience the beauty of what is a Colorado mountain sunset. I usually walk this path in the morning, but the other day, I realized it’d be even more gorgeous in the evening. Ah, yes. I went ended the day a grateful girl.

But let’s rewind a bit. Today’s What I Ate Wednesday focuses on my eats from yesterday, because I waited until the last possible day  (as I do) to photograph my eats for this week’s WIAW post. I hope ya’ll don’t get tired of these type of posts. I don’t typically share my meals (unless you follow me on Instagram,) so if it does, in fact, bore you, regular fitness-y & health posting stuff will resume tomorrow Winking smile And with that long-winded intro, let’s dive in!

Breakfast

I woke up around 6:20am with a 7:00am client on my agenda. I wasn’t at all hungry, but since I try to eat within 30 minutes of waking, plus I knew I’d be getting my workout in right after training, I stuffed down a quick, small breakfast of the best cottage cheese ever + almond butter + cherries.

Not too photogenic, but it was pretty tasty.

After training a client, training myself, and walking Niko, I came home to foam roll, stretch, and eat some more while watching Live! with Kelly and Michael.

Breakfast #2

2 eggs cooked in coconut oil, Applegate turkey sausage, avocado, and this yummy toast w/ ghee.

After this meal, I showered, ran some errands, mopped, and blocked off 2 hours to writing client plans, emailing online clients, and making adjustments to current plans. Grabbed a new-to-me kombucha as I was out and about:

And then was ready for a small(ish) lunch.

Lunch

Leftover salmon, figs & goat cheese (and then some more figs and goat cheese.) Now I’m all out of figs, and am sad. Hopefully Whole Foods still has some when I go tomorrow!

Snack

I had to run back to train some afternoon and evening clients, so after doing a little writing work, I grabbed a Quest Nutrition bar on my way out the door. Cookie dough is my favorite flavor! But I also really like coconut.

Dinner

Once home from work and from walking Niko, Shane and I made a super simple dinner. We grilled out Applegate Farms hot dogs- in the picture above is what I call a double dog, 2 dogs  1 big bun –  along with some summer squash and onions and an unpictured glass of malbec Winking smile

Snack

Snacked on this scone from Great Harvest while watching Breaking Bad (aahhhhh such a good episode.) I went in earlier to grab a loaf of bread for Shane’s sandwiches, and it called to me! It’s made with almond meal, and I snacked on it with some coconut milk.

Have a lover-ly day, my friends Open-mouthed smile I’m off to train a couple clients, and then going on a hike with a friend…can you guess which one?? Winking smile

What’s your favorite way to end the day?

    I’ll definitely have to try that brand of cottage cheese…I’ve actually started liking the stuff after years of not touching it!

    I really want to try those Quest bars…EVERYONE talks about them! I also really love coconut, so I’m sure I would love that flavor!

    My favorite way to end the day is going on a walk listening to music…by myself. It is the best way to unwind.

    Have a great wednesday 🙂

      Haha, the bun was larger than a normal hot dog bun, so it worked perfectly!

    One glance at that scenery photo and I KNEW it was Colorado! I lived there for 6 years for school 🙂 I do sort of miss it, I mean, living in LA, you don’t really get desolate views! ha ha.

    And by far my favorite way to end the day is to come home, throw on the sweats and hoodie, and cook some DELICIOUS food and then, surf blogs – So basically WHAT I am doing right now! 😉

    Jealous that you have a Great Harvest near you! I need to go, but it’s an hour+ away. The scenery you get to enjoy is gorgeous!
