What Happens When We Have No Food in the House {Monday}

After the long weekend away, I woke up to a kitchen with hardly any food in it. It was too early to go to Whole Foods (Q and I were up at 4:00 AM, so I was starving by 7:00 AM), so I made do with what we had on-hand. And, surprisingly, my meals turned out pretty well!

BREAKFAST

Scrambled eggs with a piece of bacon, a Dr. Praeger’s broccoli pancake with ketchup, some wrinkly cherries, and an iced coffee with chocolate almond milk

WORKOUT

After breakfast, I got my workout on! Yay! I felt great, and I can’t wait to start increasing my mileage, weights, and the intensity of my workouts in the coming weeks. I love being back at it!

I did a 2-mile run/walk and then 3 X 8 (3 sets of 8 reps) of:

• Upright rows
• Shoulder presses
• Push-ups (on knees)
• Shoulder raises with a plate
• Hang Power Cleans

LUNCH

I was starving after my workout (+ a shower and feeding/burping/changing Q), so I made lunch with some randomness from our fridge and freezer. I had some sad-looking romaine lettuce, sliced beets (from the freezer), a Dr. Praeger’s veggie burger, nectarine pieces, and mustard drizzled on top. See, this is what happens when you have no food in your house. Haha!

SNACK

Afternoon snacks: Smoothie with frozen banana, frozen pineapple, frozen raspberries, frozen chopped spinach, and almond milk

Toasted coconut almonds + the ones that went straight from the bag into my mouth

DINNER

Dinner from cans!

Tuna with garbanzo beans, artichoke quarters, black olives, mayo, and mustard on top of salad greens

DESSERT

Toasted coconut almonds + dark chocolate baking chunks x 2

Love these! Stick ’em in the fridge. Trust me.
