WIAW Numero Tres

Alright, so being that this month’s theme is veggies, I did decide to get some veggies in to my day. Always a plus for me! I really struggle with veggies. Any tips on eating them, spill!

Onwards!

Breakfast:

I went with some good ‘ol fashioned oats. Except, I lost half in my fridge. I was doing so well preparing my food the night before, had the oats in a bowl, and then, they hit the shelf and half fell out. Still managed to eat some! And had half of a cinnamon muffin. Both of which I forgot to take a picture of, and can’t even find one to reuse. What a bummer. Sorry, my friends. I can attest to the fact that the oats looked pretty yucky, but tasted pretty yummy!

I did not have a snack before lunch. My oats and the muffin held me over until just about 10 minutes before lunch! Worked out perfectly.

Lunch:

Another taco salad. Gotta get some veggies! Romaine, celery, sprinkle of cheese, plain greek yogurt, salsa, and ground meat! Mmm

Baby carrots!

Side of spicy hummus! My mouth was on fire, but I was loving it!

Snack: 3:00

I became a little hungry around 3, and knowing I was coming home to run, decided to eat this protein bar. I was really excited for it- 12 grams of protein, 170 calories. Cookie dough is just about the best thing out there, which made it even better! Unfortunately, I was not a huge fan. I couldn’t really taste anything like cookie dough, but it wasn’t bad at all!

Another Snack: 5:15

Aaron and I had our marriage class again last night. We were surprised on Sunday to find that they had a break, filled with lots of food. Being that I have about, um, zero self-control, I obviously couldn’t pass up on cheese, buffalo chicken dip, chocolate chip cookies, and so on. Well, they informed us we would be having pizza on Tuesday night. I knew I would eat a piece, so I just wanted something to hold me over until that came!

Graham Cracker with Crunch Cookie Butter

Strawberry Banana Smoothie (recipe coming this afternoon!)

Dinner:

Pizza! And some more veggies!

Maybe next week I will get some more veggies in. I just don’t really enjoy them!

Questions:

• How do you enjoy your veggies?
• Do you enjoy smoothies?

Frustrated!

Well, today hasn’t gone exactly as planned! We’ll get to that in a second.

Workout:

I started Phase 4 (what? Already!?) of Best Body Bootcamp today! It called for strength A, which paired an exercise with a cardio burst. I LOVED it! I always love adding cardio bursts in to my workouts so that I keep my heart rate up! I was sweating and feeling great. It called for Cardio A if you didn’t complete at least 4 sets, but I still did a bit of Cardio A just because I took the weekend off! I only got to 20 minutes and called it a day! Perfect workout, and totally enjoyable!

Breakfast:

I ate a banana before working out, and then it ended up being after 10 when I finished my workout! So, I had half of a Cinnamon muffin to hold me over until lunch.

Lunch:

What to do with taco leftovers? Taco salad, of course!

Naturally I meant to take a picture before destroying it. But, needless to say I forgot!  I had romaine, sprinkle of cheddar cheese, taco meat, salsa, and plain Greek Yogurt! I made the switch last night to plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, and will never go back! You are definitely not missing anything from the sour cream and the Greek yogurt is good for you! Makes me happy, that’s for sure!

*****

Alright, people, I need help. I have spent countless hours this past weekend and then today, especially, trying to figure out self hosting! I currently have my own domain,  but run it through wordpress.com. I want to upgrade to a Genesis Theme, which you need to be self-hosted for. I currently have a BlueHost account, but was actually thinking of switching to GoDaddy because it is cheaper. Any thoughts? Anyone have help for me in switching? I have been all over Google, and not really finding out much other than horror stories! Ahh!

Also, if you experience any difficulty with my blog in the next few days, please stick with it! I am trying my best to not mess up anything, but who knows what will happen in this world of technology! Thank you! You are truly the best!

Question:

• Was there anything you wish you would’ve known before going self hosted?
• Anything I should be prepared for after I become self-hosted? Do I even use WordPress anymore? Naturally, I’m lost.
