Happy Wednesday All! I really must say, I’m starting to love my WIAW and WIWW. Makes me focus so much more when I have that accountability. Plus I always like drooling over everyone else’s eats (thanks JEN). Sounds so bizarre in reality, but not in the blog world. haha!
Anyway, let’s get things rolling with some WIAW.
I call this the Triple “C” Breakfast
GF Corn Flakes, Cinnamon, and Coconut yogurt. Okay, the Coffee makes it Quadruple “C.”
Leftover Whole Foods Bar. Can you even tell what that hodge podge is?
Either way, tasted good!
Let’s not forget my beloved.
Dinner was interesting. We like to call this our PEASANT MEAL.
All things cheap but nonetheless Nutritious and Delicious! Millet, kidney beans, vegetable marinara with a poached egg.
My favorite part? Well, lets just say one of my clients gave me a special gift.
The hubs and I love our Sake!.
Now for the sweat fest. Here’s a little WIWW
(What I Worked Wednesday)
THE COUNTDOWN
Dynamic Warm Up-
- 30 second running skips, 30 second butt kick drills, 30 second walking lunges, 30 second karoake drill. Repeat 4x
Here’s the main set. It’s a countdown routine. Start with 12 reps and work all the way down to 1 rep.
- Example: 12 burpees with push ups, 12 jump lunges,12 plie squat hops, 12 tricep push ups, 12 mountain climbers, 12 lower leg raises.
- Now go down to 11 reps of each. Do this till you get to 1!!!
Cool down with cardio and stretching. This is an shorter but intense body weight workout. Love it!!
I’ll end on this. Anyone else find it funny that we are so “intrigued” with what other people eat? That being said, I’m off to read up on the WIAW links.
Cheers!
LC
p.s.
I almost forgot. Sadie wanted to be included in WIAW. She thoroughly enjoyed a homemade treat from Natalie. Thank you Natalie!!

I honestly sat here and thought, "why is she posting this today? It's Friday!" And then I realized that it really is Wednesday. And it's all the more sad because this Friday is my birthday and I certainly know that it's not my birthday today. I think that I just realized that I need a day off. Wait, I'm taking one on Friday. So again, there's ANOTHER reason I should have known that today is in fact NOT Friday.
Help.
AWWW, that's awesome Sadie is participating AND that she has tasty treats! :) I love our WELL LOVED pups! my WF Hot Bar always looks like that too, a hodge podge is a great way to describe. the peasant meal looks perfect to me too. it is VERY peculiar how interested we are in other peoples eats... serves as inspiration, yes?
I did burpees this morning and they DID NOT break my knees! :) *progress*
Looks good! Your beloved is my beloved as well. Except I limit myself to drinking Kombucha only on Saturday. Go figure.
Yowzers on that workout! I'm tired reading it ;-) Love that you included Sadie's eats!
I love the countdown from 12 thing. Looks like an awesome workout!
I like reading what other people eat because it gives me good ideas!
I like your recipes and meals because they are usually right in my neighborhood of what's good.
Do you eat meat besides fish and eggs? Im nosy.
I don't and I keep thinking we eat very similar diets.
Intense workout, looks great!
Ooh...a poached egg on just about anything is heaven. Yum :)
Your breakfast. There are no words. That sounds like the best combo EVER!! And your dinner looks AMAZING! That would be one lucky peasant who got a meal like that! :P
And I am bookmarking that workout!! Bet you really feel the burn after that one huh? ;)
I LOVE seeing the eats and workouts of people like you, because it's so INSPIRING! And because I'm nosy too! :P
Can I just say, I LOVE U! Hehe. You make my day abby. For your bday, come to austin. Please!!
That yogurt bowl looks so yum! That may be my breakfast or lunch go-to tomorrow, I'm craving it! i think it's hilarious how intrigued we are with one another's eats and workout routines. We're so nosy, right?? PS. that workout looks awesome!! I'll definitely be trying this one on the beach with my friend who lives ON a beach this spring. :)
I'm totally intrigued by what other people eat. It gives me so many ideas. I am good on breakfast, and usually good on dinner. But I love seeing people's salads and snacks. :D
You make me hungry! Triple C is right up my alley and you know I love some cheap eats! I think I'm the only blogger that has never eaten at the hot bar at whole foods...I always go for the loads of cold stuff.
i just got done polishing off a citrus kombucha :)
You can make a peasant meal for me anytime! ;)
Ok I just drooled on my keyboard
I love your coffee mug!
I think it's so interesting how the fitness blogging community seems to attract foodies! I, for one, was never interested in food until I started getting fit...ever since then I've been obsessed with finding new healthy fun ingredients to fuel myself better!
I love your peasant meal! Delicious and nutritious. I also love WIAW - I'm just trying to get in the habit of taking more photos of what I eat during the week. I MISSSSSSSSS YOU.
Kris - burpees make me want to cry! CrossFit is notorious for burpees and I'm trying to get *better* at them.
That peasant meal looks amazing!!!
deal! All we need is some of your banana PB soft serve for dessert! One weekend
soon, lets go to tea room!! Can we? pease??

Lindsay

oh the workout is totally perfect for the beach. Yes, we are nosy. But don't you
love it? I probably know more about what your day looks like then some of your
close friends and family. HAHA!
Lindsay

Traveling!! Yes!
Lindsay

:)

DO IT! Sometimes I will start at 20!! Thats if I am brave enough. eeek!
Lindsay

Sadie begged me too. hehe. I still need to get some of your etsy treats! Keep
reminding me please. :)
Lindsay

only on saturday? boy do I feel bad for drinking it everyday. I'd totally share
with you!
Lindsay
________________________________
I have to admit. I LOVE LOVE burpees. All kinds! But thats only because after I
can barely walk, haha.
Lindsay
________________________________
its funny, when you commented, I thought.....DORRY's HOME!!! YEA!
Lindsay
________________________________
I actually do a combo. Salad bar topped with hot bar randomness. Love it! And
yes, cheers to cheap eats!
Lindsay
________________________________
yes, so true. Allows us to EXPAND our HORIZONS. Right? I do eat meat on a
occasion, but honestly don't really crave it much anymore. If I do, it usually
organic meat and in a dish or something. ANd of course, I make it for
my husband. He needs his iron! I stick with fish, eggs, and tempeh (on
occasion). I use a lot of brewers yeast for iron and B vitamins/amino acids.
Lindsay
________________________________
well said. The more fit you become, the more important that nutrition is. You
just feel better, recover better, etc.
p.s.
I love my mug too!
Lindsay
________________________________
Your food looks great---I almost feel like I'm looking at my own food, except you have a few more complicated things than I have :)
That's my fave larabar of all time!
Happy Wednesday :)
I like to see what other bloggers eat. It's inspiring and gives me new idea I'd never come across myself. :)
YAY!!!! Glad she enjoyed them!! I have never had a poached egg. *gasp* I don't want to tell my husband, because they're his absolute favorite. Whoops... Might have to learn hehe!
I loove poached eggs!! hahaha
That workout looks super intense! Thanks for sharing. :D
Ah, I love peasant meals!!! Those are usually the best: cheap, fast, delicious. ;)
And that sake looks wonderful! I love sake. Sake mixed drinks are super yummy.
Love that pyramid workout! Those usually kick ass. Must remember this one.
never mind what other people eat....what I eat...many years ago, my hubby and i trekked in nepal for 3 months and i kept a journal...i wrote down EVERY meal and snack we ate!! (as well as what we saw,who we met etc) i call it the "we ate our way though nepal trek" the food was very plain, but good and nourishing.
question: what is a karoake drill?
true story- when I was in college I broke my hand doing sake bombs. sake and I are no longer on speaking terms.
yum, yum AND MORE.....YUM!!! :)
I love burpees too... AND preacher curls!! I don't know many who like those either... ;)
Omg how is that sake?! i'm always looking for a good one! What brand/type is your fav?
HAPPY WIAW AND WIWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you like woah! your peasant meal looks fit for a king dahling.
Triple “C” Breakfast looks delicious! And I know when I tell people about blogging and what I blog about and read about they are like what.... you read about what others eat! And I am like yeah :) It is hilarious! Some people just do not get it that we enjoy seeing what others eat for whatever reason! haha
this one was a sparkling sake with pear infused. SO SO SO SO GOOD! She ordered
it from Whole Foods. She also said the mango was good.

Good thing we have each other! Totally appreciate everyone's inspirational

Lindsay

oh I would love to have read that journal. What an adventure! what was your
favorite meal?
Lindsay

I thought you'd appreciate that workout. Wish we lived closer, I'd have you over
for sake!
Lindsay
________________________________
yea! sadie is one happy camper. And they smell so yummy too! So do I need to
come make you a poached egg? You must try!
Lindsay
________________________________
its my husbands favorite flavor too! I usually have to fight him over it. LOL!
Lindsay
________________________________
Your breakfast looks like a delicious (but healthy? haha) yogurt/ice cream sundae!!! Mmmm
oh it totally does! Now i want to make another and top it with a cherry. hehe.
Lindsay
________________________________
dal bhat...rice with lental soup and what ever veggie they had...the higher we went the less choice of veggie. but this was always the best deal, cuz you always got seconds whether you wanted it or not! food was so inexpensive.
I do get a kick out of myself every time I get excited about a WIAW post! Your dinner looks great...cheapo or not, it looks delicious! Please come to my house and poach an egg for me.
PS, HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL! How are you still alive after that workout?!
SORE today, but in a good way. haha. And yes, I will be right over to poach an
egg. Will you make your socca pizza for me in return?
:)
Lindsay

haha I love Peasant dinner! my sisters and I have "orphan dinner" basically the same idea, some sort of rice/beans, or soup and grilled cheese ;)
love that Sadie had a WIAW! her cookie looks goood!
1. i'm (sort of) sorry for the inappropriate comment i left on a previous post ;)
2. i love cheap and delicious meals! story of my life right now. well cheap. i need to work on the delicious.
Well yes, we most definitely need to do that!!! And sooooooon! :)
Loving the Triple C breakfast! I definitely don't need more coconut products in my life right now, but I'm very intrigued by the coconut yogurt. Is it a must-try? Because if it is, I'd love to use you as justification for buying it! :-p
Awesome workout! I need to start mixing up my routine a bit...It's so easy to just hop on a treadmill or cross-trainer, pump some iron and call it good. I'm sure some serious plyometric work would shock my body a bit! :-)
And I completely agree about WIAW...I love seeing what others eat because I glean so much inspiration from all of your ideas! <3
Speaking of Triples, you and James should come do Triple T with me! Check it out if you haven't heard of it... its brutal!
I love your peasant dinner- its my go to on Fridays in Lent lol.
And burpees are awful. Thus, I do them everyday
Ummmm...is it weird and gross that I`m totally craving Sadie`s cookie? Ha! Nice eats! I love cheap and delicious meals. Beans and lentils are the way to go!
I'm doing that workout today! I'll let you know how it goes :-) and that sake sounds so good haha what a nice client!
Mmm, I love hodge podge lunches/dinners from left overs! Those are the best :D
Burpees. Ow! They are killeeerrrr!
okay, no I'm curious. Must go check out the Triple C youre talking about.
Lindsay

I love the plain coconut kefir the best. Its so good to use in cooking as well.
I'd definitely check it out. You are the queen of coconut. hehe!
Lindsay
________________________________
oh totally keep me posted. You can even start at 15 to 20 reps and go down. EEK!
Lindsay
________________________________
not at all grosse! The ingredients all sounded pretty good to me. haha. I think
the only reason I didn't take a bite myself was because of the gluten.
Shhh....don't tell though.
:)
Lindsay
________________________________
I just stumbled across your blog and I'm so happy i did!can't wait to read on!
I have never tried coconut yogurt! It sounds SO good! :) I will definitely have to be on the look out for it now!
Ohh, all the food looks so good! How did I not know theres a chocolate chip cookie dough flavor Lara Bar?! YUM!
I love reading about your workouts.. they are intense!
it really is funny how some people just don't understand the blogging world and think we are crazy.. but to us, it is interesting. I think it's fun!
You are an inspiration with your workouts, young lady! I need to get my bum in gear with such things.
I keep meaning to participate in the WIAW... then I get to work on Thursday, read yours, and say, "oh crap",I forgot again! LOL! Your food always looks soo good, and yes, I love seeing what others eat and getting new ideas!
I WANT YOU TO BE MY PERSONAL TRAINER!!! Girl, your workouts always sound so so amazing!! That bfast of yours is calling my name and that homemade treat...YUM!!! I hope you are having a great day and thank you so much for the sweet comments, emails and everything else you do for me. I love you so so much and I think I might have to fly to you and dorry this weekend. LOVE YOU!
My Whole Foods boxes are ALWAYS a hodge podge...that's what makes them amazing. :)
[And I'm not sure a poached egg on anything can qualify as "peasant." Just the act of poaching fancifies things in my mind....]
Ah, I hate burpees! But they are definitely an excellent exercise. The breakfast looks amazing!
Katie : )
i coulda sworn that breakfast was an ice cream sundae!!!!! oh BEST larabar flavor EVER!
oh you are too kind. Its a fun workout....well, when its over. haha.
Lindsay
________________________________
its a new flavor, and definitely a good one! YOu should see if they have it near
you. I have a feeling you'd like it just as much as I do!
Lindsay
________________________________
my favorite is the plain flavor. Or I'll buy the plain flavor kefir. That way
you can add in fresh berries or chocolate. Its perfect! So Delicious makes it!
Lindsay

Want me to send you a reminder of Tuesdays? I should! Next week, deal?
Lindsay
________________________________
I am a huge believer that marinara and a poached egg makes everything better! :)
this made me so hungry....especially that corn flake thing! nomnomnom
LOL! okay okay, maybe I should have said "runny" egg??
Lindsay
________________________________
hehe, oh yes. It does look that good, doesn't it? I like to trick the eye and
make my breakfast look like dessert!
Lindsay
________________________________
Gosh I am so sorry it took me so long to reply to your comment...
I don't know if rice paper would work, I have honestly only ever had them raw (spring roll style). Knowing how creative you are I bet you could make them work!
I love WIAW!!! and you addition of WIWW gets me inspired to get sweaty :-)
ahhh I forgot to do WIAW again booooo next week. food looks delish and I love sake as well esp in the form of sake bombs ahaa!
amen to that sista!

I have had epically BAD BORING meals lately-nothing worthy of WIAW:( You on the other hand...drooooooling!
I need to try some coconut yogurt. I don't know that I've ever seen it in the stores. I'll have to be on the lookout!
oh its so good. SO DELICIOUS makes a yogurt and a kefir. I love the kefir too!
Let me know if you try it!

And yes, sake bombs are the best. hehe.

I always get hungry reading your blog, haha. I guess its only fair, right?
:)
Lindsay

I've yet to try sake. I think my favorite would be just cooking with it, as I don't drink. Is that paprika on top of your egg? You know I'm obsessed with eggs, right? :-)
I laughed when I read about your "peasant meal"---I remember the controversy when my aunt suggested to my father's wife that vol-au-vent (basically, puff pastry with a chicken or turkey casserole-type thing served on top) was "le souper des pauvres"---a poor man's dinner... oh, the furor!! And that's when I learned never to apply class indicators to food. :D I like it when others do, though!
And your breakfast looks like dessert... well played!
oh you know it! I top all my eggs with either chilli pepper, paprika, or
cayenne. We like spice here!
