Haaaaaapppyyy Hump Day! I really love Wednesday’s because I have no class and it breaks up the days I do have class. College, I love you. (sometimes)
Before I get into the usual WIAW shenanigans, I wanted to share a treadmill workout I came up with yesterday.
I was feeling pretty sore from Monday’s strength workout and I didn’t feel like dealing with the sun and the traffic, so I opted for the treadmill.
Seems like it’s been happening quite a bit lately, but I’ve come to embrace what I’m feeling.
I kind of just made it up as I went along and it worked out in my favor.
I went by miles instead of time and it felt like I finished super fast. Love that.

Repeat until you reach your designated mileage. Include a warm-up and cool-down if you’d like.
Now, back to the regularly scheduled Wednesday post.
Breakfast
Two rice cakes, protein frosting, banana slices, chia seeds. Coffee on the side.
I wanted something that I could easily digest so I could go to the gym within a reasonable time.
Lunch
I came back from the gym, showered, got ready, and was starving for lunch.
Salad: spinach, grape tomatoes, veggie burger, chick peas, sesame things? balsamic dressing.
I also had a piece of cheese toast while preparing the salad.
Okay this is an old picture, but it’s a piece of brown rice toast and muenster cheese.
I only used a slice, but it looks like a looot of cheese because the bread is small and dense.
I also had a lemon Chobani on the side. One of my favorite flavors!
Dinner
I started preparing dinner the second I got home.
Tilapia, some chick peas, and roasted broccoli and carrots all over some brown rice. It’s under there!
There we go. Such a great meal combo.
Snack
Since I had dinner so early, I needed a snack later on. I had cottage cheese with crushed pineapple.
Forgot to take a picture! But it’s one of my favorite ways to eat cottage cheese.
What is your favorite source of protein to have for a meal?
How early do you eat dinner?
Favorite bedtime snack?

I love cottage cheese and pineapple! My favorite bed time snack lately is popcorn and a clementine, eaten while watching trashy reality television of course:)

Protein : salmon, tuna, eggs !, cheese, peanut butter (does that count ?) and chicken ! and seafood (scallops !!)
I have dinner at 8pm or 8:30pm =)
I usually don’t have a bedtime snack. But if I need it, I’ll have some dark chocolate =)
Great eats ! How do you do the protein frosting ???
fitpeanut recently posted..Zombie Race !
Heck yes peanut butter! Once of my favorites
Protein frosting: 1 scoop sunwarrior protein powder, 3 tbs water – mix until it’s a frosting consistency then add in 1 tbs almond butter and mix all together.
definitely pinning that workout to try later!!
my favorite sources of protein are egg whites, greek yogurt, lean turkey, cheese, and peanut butter!
i made a killer bedtime snack this week – i mixed up some plain greek yogurt and some mocha protein powder and topped it with a crumbled almond flour chocolate chip cookie. it. was. heavenly.
happy WIAW!

Those rice cakes look bomb. Good for you for running on the treadmill, I CAN’T stand the treadmill. I usually eat fish or chicken for dinner

Your dinner looks awesome! How did you season your Tilapia?
With an all-purpose seasoning and basil
These are great and healthy meal ideas! Thank you so much for sharing. I am going to give your breakfast idea a try!

love that workout. i love running by distance sometimes and time sometimes on the treadmill to change things up!
Lindsay @ The Lean Green Bean recently posted..What’s in a Jean Size
I’ve been running like that too – with a focus on miles rather than time! It goes by so much faster! I have been loving getting creative with egg whites lately…and Greek yogurt! I usually eat dinner around 6
I definitely need a night time snack too!
Christina @ The Athletarian recently posted..CHruffles
I almost always eat dinner early, between 5 and 6! Usually I work out sometime between 3 and 5 so I like to eat dinner when I get home!

I love those types of treadmill work outs. It definitely goes by faster when you focus on mileage rather than time.

LOve the treadmill workout! I get really bored on the treadmill so I always love to do intervals..this would be perfect!
Can I also mention how absolutely delicious your dinner looks?? YUM!! haha
Julia recently posted..Foodie Penpals
Your treadmill program is perfect for me because I get so bored. I actually have a post planned about just that tomorrow. Great minds.
I admire your love for chickpeas. They are always popping up everywhere!
Talia @ Bite Size Wellness recently posted..Working Lunch: Make it a Team Approach
I get SO bored on the treadmill. And I know I love chickpeas! Once I open a can I keep them in a tupperware and I just eat them everyday so they don’t sit in the fridge lol
It’s so hard to pick my favorite protein, but I’d probably go with eggs because they’re so versatile! I have been eating dinner a lot earlier, lately, because I get so hungry after lunch and a workout – around 7 or 7:30. I try to hang on for later, but often fail
I love eggs. I haven’t had them in a while! That’s a late dinner for me ;D
Love all the eats… that salad for lunch looks so good!
Ahhh, jealous that you don’t have class on Wednesdays. What a great break in the week!

Matt @ The Athlete’s Plate recently posted..Blown Away

Meg recently posted..Feeling Inspired, Motivated, and Positive!
Love all your eats! They look amazing!!
I usually eat dinner around 6, but sometimes it will be as early as 5 if I don’t eat a snack. I love your nail polish too! Pretty sure I have a color similar to that in OPI nail polish!
Jessica @ Busy Living Healthy recently posted..So who’s…
How do you prepare the tilapia? I tend to make home made fish sticks with it (roll it in egg, then panko crumbs, then cook on a lightly oiled cast iron grill pan), but I’d love some other ideas.
We eat dinner at 5:40pm, which is super early for this area. So, I almost always have a bedtime snack – sandwich thin toasted with a couple of chocolate chips and a smear of peanut butter. YUM!
MCM Mama recently posted..Welcome to my new little piece of the web!
That sounds great! I just season it with an all-purpose seasoning and basil then put it in a fry pan after spraying it with cooking spray.
Chobani lemon is my favorite though I love the 2% yogurt best.
I’ve been eating a ton of chicken as protein or some cottage cheese and yogurt. Those are always my go-to for something easy and non cook.
For a bedtime snack, I eat apples with PB or cottage cheese or yogurt.

Thank you so much!! I am SO glad that you stopped by! <3
That treadmill workout sounds awesome! Whenever I use miles to track my workout, rather than time, it seems to fly by. I have no idea why, but I’m not complaining!
I usually eat dinner around 7ish. It depends on my schedule though and when I get hungry! And I love those sesame sticks! I always add them to my salads. They add the perfect saltiness and crunch!
