I am a three square meals a day kind of girl. I wasn’t always like this and I won’t even share with you some of the things I considered to be breakfast and lunch in my younger days! 😉
I am also a very scheduled eater. I don’t like to eat breakfast too late for fear I won’t be hungry for lunch. I don’t like to eat lunch too early because I won’t make until dinner (we eat really late!) and I don’t like eating late lunches because I feel gross during evening workouts. Am I crazy enough for you!?
Here’s a look at today’s three square meals.
Breakfast was banana oats in an empty peanut butter jar. I topped it off with some Crofter’s. When I eat oats in a jar I just dump the cooked oats into the jar and eat! It’s fun to scrape the remnants of the jar off with your bites!
Lunch was all about the veggies. Spinach, cherry tomatoes, leftover grilled zucchini, herbed goat cheese and artichokes. Strawberries on the side.
Dinner was an egg scramble with the following…one egg, one egg white, spinach, feta, artichokes, sundried tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. A slice of toasted Great Harvest Dakota on the side.
Wednesday is my “on my own” night for dinner (Brandon usually eats out after bowling league) so it’s usually a random single gal meal like eggs, a salad or pasta!
And lastly, I went to a hot vinyasa class at Y2 tonight and it was just amazing. Celeste was teaching and she is such a great teacher. It was only a one hour class so she warned us at the beginning that she was going to take us straight through and cram in as much as possible. No breaks would be offered but we were welcome to take them when we needed them. I powered through the class only stopping a couple of times for some water. I left class with nothing left to give – my favorite feeling.
Are you a scheduled eater? Three square meals or a grazer?

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
