WIAW–Is it Summer?

Hey everyone! It’s another installment of What I Ate Wednesday! If you are new to WIAW, head over to Jen’s blog, Peas and Crayons, where she explains WIAW and you can find other blogger’s posts!

Today’s food comes from yesterday, Tuesday! The weather was INSANELY warm yesterday, and my food reflected that as it got warmer throughout the day!

I started off attempting to make some egg white oats, however, I ran out of my normal egg whites and added a couple T of another kind of egg whites that I had bought. Unfortunately, these were made to look like normal eggs, and for some reason the egg whites did not fluff up when I beat them. I mixed them in and was nervous about how cooked they were, so I put the bowl in the microwave for 2 minutes.

VOILA!

It turned into more of a baked oatmeal, but much fluffier. It was pretty good, although VERY hot! I burnt the roof of my mouth…

Although I liked the change, I prefer the fluffy egg whites mixed in, this was just not the same.

When I got home, I made up some lunch. I made a bunch of carrot fries and had a Dr. Praeger’s Broccoli patty. I saw these in Whole Foods and decided to try them out. I wanted to try a kind of veggie burger, but every veggie burger I found contained soy! Not cool. The broccoli patty was really good though!

On the side I had some Greek yogurt with vanilla mixed in (I actually had that yogurt X2, I was hungry!). I also had a big spoon of almond butter!

After lunch I decided to try out a new kind of nail polish I got from Birchbox this month. Love it?

I do! I would normally never wear such sparkly nail polish, but I’ve gotten a LOT more crazy with my nail polish lately. Honestly, I think I’ve gotten a lot more confident in myself and I worry less about what other people think of me. If I love it, I wear it. Deal with it.

The weather was HOT today! I went to the gym for a lower body workout and when I left I knew I needed some fro yo!

I mean seriously, what better way to celebrate these record temps in March than with fro yo? It was also FREE! Why? My fro yo place closed a couple weeks ago and I FREAKED! I sent them an e-mail and they responded saying they were remodeling and they’d be open in a week and that I could have a free fro yo for the trouble! Yes, please! I brought in the e-mail and ta da!

Free fro yo is even better than normal. Is that possible?

A little after the fro yo it was time for a real dinner. I was wanting some fresh, so I got a salad from Tzatziki, a local Mediterranean place. I don’t normally eat out, but I didn’t do a good job with grocery shopping (aka $20 worth of groceries from Trader Joe’s will not make meals for the whole week… winning, Katie). I need to work on meal planning.

I love their salads because of how they chop the lettuce, the chicken and, most of all, the TZATZIKI sauce! It’s so good!

After dinner I got some work done and then I snacked on some canned butternut squash mixed with protein powder, cinnamon, stevia and some milk along with more almond butter. I completely forgot to take a picture… It’s hard to remember! I considered a picture of the empty bowl, but I thought you all could imagine it.

 

How are you celebrating these unseasonably warm temps, if you’re getting them?

How do you feel about wearing crazy nail polish, clothes, or anything else that you like but other people might judge or think it’s not “you”?
