Some Meals & Some Sneakers

Hi, friends! Happy Hump Day!

Does this week feel like the LONGEST week ever? My gosh, it’s crawlingggg by for me. I actually woke up thinking it was Thursday, so it was a sad realization when it was only Wednesday. Whomp whomp. Anyway… I wanted to share some meals from the week so far as well as a pair of sneakers that I’m loving lately. Oh! And here’s a photo of Murphy who continues to crush pillows like its his job. Maybe he THINKS it’s his job? FYI: The pug pillow is from Wayfair. It’s actually reversible and has a different pug image on the back. The cover is also washable, which key when it comes to pug eye boogers and butt stamps. I know… our dog is disgusting, which is also why I obsessively change our bedding.

MEALS FROM THE WEEK

Breakfast: Microwave steel cut oats from Brandless mixed with ground flax, hemp seeds, collagen, and fresh strawberries with a scoop of Teddie Peanut Butter.

Breakfast: Gluten-free bread with Teddie Peanut Butter and banana slices with an iced coffee made with OWYN protein powder and SO Delicious caramel creamer.

Lunch: Buffalo tempeh, roasted sweet potatoes, rainbow cauliflower, and arugula. I also added some Primal Kitchen Ranch dressing!

Dinner: Instant Pot shredded chicken with coconut aminos, Trader Joe’s cauliflower stir fry mixed with white rice, and steam broccoli.

Snack: Blueberry Protein Mug Muffin from Health Warrior. I actually think this one is my favorite flavor! FYI: Health Warrior is having a flash sale until the end of the month. Save 20% with code REFRESH20!

The sneakers that I’m loving right now are the Hyperion from Brooks Running. They’re actually my second pair, but in a different color. I love wearing them to Orangetheory, GRIT, Body Pump, and any sort of bootcamp-style workout where I’m doing a variety of movements. Lately, I’ve been into treadmill workouts + some strength training afterward at the YMCA, so they’re awesome for a combo workout where I want to run and lift weights.

I also wear the Hypersion to CrossFit on occassion, especially for workouts with 400 meter runs or longer. They transition well to other CrossFit movements, like box jumps, Wallballs, pull-ups, and even barbell exercises, but (!!) they are not made for rope climbs. I learned the hard way and ripped the bottom of my first pair during a workout, so now I just wear the Hyperion for running workouts without rope climbs. Overall though, they’re awesome lightweight running (and racing) shoe!

And just a quick shout out for this Run Happy tank top, which is super cute and just makes me happy! 🙂 It’s semi-fitted, so it’s not too tight or too loose, and it’s made from sweat-wicking fabric to keep even the sweatiest woman (me!) comfortable and dry. I actually have this same tank in heather navy and love it as well!
