Weekly Workouts & (not so great) Recent Eats 7/13

it’s hump day! We are almost to the weekend *insert praise hands emoji*

This morning, I slept in until 8:45 (!!) and when I realized I was out of K-cups and hadn’t made a new batch of cold brew, Winston and I hopped in the car and went to Dunkin.

{It’s a size large-with-a-Turbo shot kind of day}

Honestly, this past week was super stressful.  There’s a lot going on in all aspects of my life: work, career, and personal/relationships to be exact, and it all seemed to weigh heavy all at once.  I am the kind of person that wants everything to be sorted and figured out right away, and even though I like to think of myself as someone who goes with the flow 90% of the time, it’s sometimes hard for me to accept that there are some things that are going to take time.

With this stress, I EAT.  I am a huge stress eater, and while some of the eats I’ve eaten this past week are not great at all, I have definitely come a long way from my binging days.  I still sometimes reach for the not-so-good things, but I definitely overeat the healthy foods.  Anyways, I know when the stress dies down I will feel more like myself, but these little bumps in the road are a part of life, and I want to show what that’s like on O&R, not just the good weeks!  And I am sure y’all can relate, right?

Has anyone tried this brand and/or flavor?  They are SO GOOD and this one if my favorite! It’s got big chocolate chips in them which I love <3

I started adding this to my smoothies for a little boost of nutrients.  For being raw, it’s pretty good!

TJ’s chicken salad with 34 Degrees crisps!  The rosemary flavor is addictive

Hummusapien’s Lemon Coconut no bake bites.  These have been permanently added to my diet.

Big batch of asparagus for lunches/dinners! Loving this coconut oil from NOW Foods

Breakfast at work: egg white, bacon, and cheese on croissant

Thai turkey wrap from Foster’s in Durham

CPK’s BBQ Chopped salad.  Hadn’t had this salad in forever!  Now they charge you for avocado..so sad.

Batch of rosemary garlic potatoes for week’s lunches/dinners

BIG lunch to refuel after teaching 4 classes – veggie burger, brussel sprouts, potatoes, and asparagus

Because, sometimes when you need cookie butter and ice cream, TJ’s puts them together for ya.  And you can’t say no.

NOT PICTURED: brownies/beer/burgers in Durham, pizza Sunday night, lots of wine on late nights after work
