I’m starving.
Thank you, incessant cardio.
I began my day meeting a new client, then I had to go to Whole Foods. There was one right next door to my meeting… I couldn’t help myself.
It was a new-to-me location, so I wandered aimlessly for a good while taking pics of fun things like sparkling wine in a can. I miiiiiight have purchased a 4-pack. Curiosity killed the cat.
But the cardio. I did it. I’ve done cardio every single day for two weeks. I got a new trainer and am trying – some days more successfully than others – to clean up my diet. (Ignore the afore mentioned bubbly.)
Views like this make it a little more fun to run. It’s “May Grey” in San Diego. That means that 90% of the month is cloudy. Same thing in June (June Gloom). However, it makes for a nice, cool run.
And then I did another 30 mins at the gym on the elliptical, followed by weights with my trainer. BOOM.
So here’s what I ate with all that cardio. Read on and link up to Jenn’s WIAW baby at the bottom!
Breakfast:
The usual morning cocktail followed by the gelatin gummy gelatin I mentioned last week.
Some days you just crave simple. Runny egg + egg whites with smashed avocado toast. Plus coffee x2.
P.S. Smashed avocado with curry powder is delicious.
Lunch:
Leftovers from the weekend’s dinner party. Salmon skewers and a salad. Side of unpictured crackers.
Psssst… speaking of that dinner party, did you see the Baked Greek Feta I made? So good it got me to blog on a Tuesday. 😉
Snack:
Post-run Quest bar in the car. I was driving and eating on the way to the gym, so you only get a wrapper pic. I’d left it in the car all day, so those white chocolate chunks were nice and melty.
Dinner:
Have I mentioned we got a grill? I love having it. Especially because Vegas is the one who uses it. 😉
Oh, and remember when I said I order everything on Amazon? That’s where we got the grill (super on sale, btw).

Dessert:
I love making healthy dessert bowls. Zucchini Bread flavor is one of my standards. It’s just shredded zucchini, Greek yogurt, About Time’s peanut butter nighttime recovery casein, and cinnamon. Topped with cocoa fluff (coconut flour and cocoa powder mixed with water and Stevia), Legendary Foods pecan pie nut butter, chia seeds, and hemp hearts.

I’m probably going to grab another snack. #hangry… #rungry… is that a thing?
Are you a cardio fan? I’d rather lift all day long.
Canned wine. Would you try it? I shall report back.
I love having avocado toast from breakfast, it’s the best way to start my day. I took a week off of cardio because I injured my foot and it felt soooo great to get back on the spin bike today. There’s nothing like cardio, it’s the best way to get rid of stress.
Normally I’d balk at the cardio suggestion, but you are so right. I forget how good it feels… until I CAN’T do it. LOL!
No shame in wrapper pics… I’m often so hungry that I just eat and then remember to take a picture of the wrapper. That’s why I’m thankful there is a wrapper. 😀 Cardio is not a bad thing at all!
Lifting all the way – I do cardio as part of crossfit because I have to, never by choice! Although it’s the heavy lifting that leaves me hungry – especially deadlifts – major hanger!
And yes to wine in a can, convenience at its finest! 😉
Same same.
Obviously since buying the wine in a can, I haven’t been home long enough to drink it. #fail
I tried the Underwood rose wine in a can. Something tells me I’d kind of love canned sparkling wine, for better or worse. That’s awesome that you guys got a grill! I’m really wishing I had one this season.
It’s just practical… so much easier than taking glass on a picnic! 🙂
thanks for the link up! I have been to san diego once ( a few years ago) and it was just so so sooo gorgeous that I couldn’t believe it when they told me this time of year is considered gloom because it can be so cloudy. Seriously, such a gorgeous place I didn’t want to come home to new York! lol
I guess 2 months out of the year isn’t a bad deal for this weather. I love New York too though! You absolutely cannot get good bagel here.
Avocado toast….mmmmm just makes my mouth water even thinking about it. I am still learning to like eggs, so not quite able to get the runny ones down, but I am starting to feel like I am missing out, so maybe it is time to try. Thanks for hosting lady! Happy Wednesday!
I order tons from Amazon too. Just so convenient. I’ve started noticing though if you leave it in your cart for a few days the price often drops. Glad the knee is better and you had a great run!
Really?! I knew that happens with other online stores- I’ll get a email coupon or something. Must try with Amazon now!
Give me some of your lifting (I need it) and I’ll give you my cardio, lol! I really wish I wanted to lift!
Deal!
Canned sparkling wine? Oh heck ya I’d pick that up. That screams summer to me.
I always make my egg salad with curry powder. And often I make it using avocado. So I see curry powder on avo toast being a winner for sure.
Salmon skewers are a great idea! I had more to say buy then you mentioned baked feta and I think I’ll just go check that out 😉
Oh yeah… trust me on that baked feta. How can you go wrong with hot cheese?
I promise I’m not trolling with this question, but why do you add zucchini to that bowl? Doesn’t it taste… strange? Or is it for volume? Tell me your secrets!
Such a troll… 😉 Zucchini adds volume – I love giant bowls – and it doesn’t taste like anything. In the spring it can even be a little sweet. Do you guys have zucchini bread over there? It’s a sweet breakfast bread, which is what game me the original idea.
Nope, we don’t have it. It sounds interesting! I have zucchini in my fridge right now so I may have to work up the courage to try it!
You HAVE to let me know if you do!!!
Those salmon skewers look amazing!!! And that canned wine… I NEED That!!!
Sounds like your knee is holding up well with all your cardio that’s great!!
Thanks! So far, so good! It’s just hard to go downhill or side to side still. 3 months and it should be better… *fingers crossed*
Avocado toast is the BEST. I’m totally putting avocado on my grocery list this weekend.
I also got sucked into the allure of canned sparkling wine this past weekend. It was too sweet and not nearly sparkly enough for my taste- I don’t recommend the Barefoot version. I won’t lie, though, I’ll probably still finish them.
Having a grill is life changing, so excited for you and Vegas!
The cardio hunger is REAL! Sounds like you’ve been on your feet quite a lot! Good you got good food to fuel ya:)
One of these days, your morning cocktail better be a REAL cocktail. Just saying.
I am such a disappointment… rest assured, it will happen one day. 😉
I will have to look for that canned wine next time I go to Whole Foods. I got a gift card to use that. All your food looks delicious. I have never had avocado for breakfast but I guess there is never a wrong time for that. Yum!
A Whole Foods gift card is like gold!!! Have fun!
That chicken looks delicious! Yes, I’m a cardio fan! Biked this morning for an hour. Will run 3 miles this evening. Have to make myself do the weight training. Haven’t had wine in FOREVER, but an can….hmmm…..is it sparkly wine or just regular? I’ll be curious what you think.
I actually do like to bike, but I always want someone to go with. Most of the biking here is along streets and I’m nervous that I’ll get hit on my own… safety in numbers, or something like that…
The wine is sparkling, but they have regular wine too! My friend said the rose is pretty good!
I ran 5 miles yesterday but had no appetite after that. I bet if I had those salmon skewers I’d want to eat.
I have that problem when I run in the heat – I usually make a smoothie and wait an hour for my body temp to drop.
I am not much of a drinker but I’m a big believer in being able to tote along things I love in a can and I’m a huge huge huge sparkling carbonated addict. I may need to check out a four pack <3
Carbonated Carla. Mwhahahaha! I’m a sparkling addict too, boozy and non. I really want a Soda Stream.
Canned wine…yes please! It just sounds like a more convenient way to transport wine 🙂 I’m a big fan of cardio. I would actually rather for cardio than strength training. I usually have to force myself into strength training. I’m going to be on the look out for that wine…thank you for sharing!
Oy… I’ll trade you! Or maybe we should both just be bribed with wine? 😉
I am so in for this canned bubbly. I mean. Of course.
Cardio at the beach is perfect! Never at the gym though. Unless I can be on the stairmaster next to you and gossiping. That’s totally doable. I almost miss it.
Europeans would never do something like can bubbly. You guys are so classy… 😉
Ugh. Stairmaster. It’s so bad… I need you to come back and make me do it.
Your breakfast has my name written all over it. I’ve been trying to avoid runny eggs because i’m pregnant and they say you shouldn’t have undercooked everything but I totally miss it and I’m guilty of leaving my eggs a little undercooked!
Also those cans of wine are definitely going to make it to my fridge in 6 weeks!! woohoo
I haven’t gone for a run since last August. Or done really any cardio. Besides walking. You know why. Must get my booty back. So in that case, passed me that wine. LOL
Well, running can decrease the booty. Squatsssssss! But yeah, not being able to run definitely makes me want to do it more. I’ve always wanted to do anything I’m not supposed to. LOL!
One thing I will say for canned wine–aluminum is much more recyclable (and therefore sustainable) than glass. I was having a big conversation with my boss about it.
Never tried curry on avocado–sounds awesome!
I didn’t even think about that angle, but that’s a great point!
I would…and have… absolutely try canned wine.
And this is why we’re friends. 🙂
If only you lived a little closer. I’d help you with that diet! I just started doing more weight bearing cardio last month. I’m hoping to drop a few inches. It’s been a struggle so I get it.
I wish! A buddy system would be SO much easier!
Canned wine is probably my favorite invention ever. The four-pack was definitely the right choice!
Congratulations on your new grill!
Canned wine…this I gotta see; er, I mean try. 🙂
Any excuse to use one of the 4566798789323193 coozies I’ve collected.
Proud of you for upping your workout game! I think that’s awesome. And I have gotta get another indoor grill. I loved my George Foreman for making grilled zucchini and asparagus. I haven’t had one in 2 years since the last one I had got ruined by my brother who decided it would be a good idea to grill meat on it and not clean the grill for a week …. ! 🙁 Have a good time on your trip and yum to the recovery bowls! 🙂
Thanks! It’s a little easier now that it’s become a habit.
I loved my George Foreman! I sued to make paninis on it… need to bust it back out! And OMG – did you beat your brother for that?!
I just need to buy a new one, lol! No, but I was pretty mad! Thankfully, I got a new one the next year! 🙂
Still so shocked that “May Grey” exists! We had that here but it’s to be expected in New England. San Diego is my dream location.
It’s also where I really first tried avocado, many years ago, so that’s cool that you mentioned them! You can’t go wrong with eggs and avocado toast and salmon and rice and salad and.. yum.
May Grey, June Gloom… I guess two months isn’t a big price to pay for 10 months of perfection. But it’s a LONG 60 days!
How did that sparkling wine in a can go? 🙂 That dessert looks delicious! I’m going to try to whip it up tonight! 🙂
