What I Ate Wednesday #4
Here’s one of the reasons I love WIAW: it’s such a simple way to look at both the good and bad in my diet. I’m finding that I always end up eating just a little bit better after I post my meals, and not because I’m comparing myself to other bloggers. I’m not saying the improvements I make always stick, but they’re a step in the right direction. Looking at my day of eating, I know I need to up my fruit and veggie intake, and I realize I used to eat a lot more protein before I got pregnant. That was mostly because I was lifting heavy – which I...

It’s been a long time since I’ve participated in What I Ate Wednesday and it feels good to be back! My last WIAW post was in June, which feels like an eternity ago given everything that’s been going on here lately.

My appetite was a little off, so I was snacking on and off...

Welcome to my first ever WIAW post! These were actually my eats from Monday, and it was a fairly balanced day, although we had absolutely no fruit in the house. It wasn’t my best day of eating ever, but at 35 weeks pregnant, my appetite and cravings have been all over the place, so it’s certainly better than some days I’ve had lately Breakfast: oatmeal + cinnamon sugar + apple pie spice (thank you, Penzey’s!), plus a side of unsweetened applesauce Mid-morning snack: my favorite food EVER – mashed potatoes and gravy! Kind of random but it was left over from...
