Oh the wonderment that is Wednesday, we have so much too look forward to on this day. We’re half way through the week, we get to say “hump” (jk, I actually hate that word), Modern Family is on TV, and last but not least…..IT’S WIAW TIME!
But first, here’s something to wonder about.
From my Daily Quotation Calendar (Sarah, I know you love these quotations!).
“What you think about when you have nothing to do reveals what is important to you.”
I don’t remember the last time I had nothing to do, haha. Actually, yes…when we were on vacation we had nothing to really do. What did I think about then? I thought about relaxing, connecting with my husband, and soaking up some sunshine. So I guess what is important to me is BALANCE. Hmmm….I could go much deeper, but I won’t. Your turn to wonder!!
Now I am wondering about food…lets get to that.
Breakfast-
Chia pudding with dried mango and orange peel. Then I dressed it up a bit with some brown rice crispies and GF granola clusters..
Colorful Snacks
Lunch
Can you even tell what this is? I’ll give a hint. There is ketchup and chicken sausage involved! 
Then I tried something new. The verdict?…..”meh.”
Not good, but not too too bad. At least I have it a whirl. Anyone else tried it?
I think I’ll stick to my first love!
Din Din
Because its never to late for breakfast. GF bagels, eggs, fruit Salad.
We enjoyed a little NEW ZEALAND celebration as well since the hubs got a new sponsor.
Definitely an answered prayer!
Now I could go on with a What I Worked Wednesday, but sometimes I feel like its too much in one post. Or maybe its just me being lazy. haha. What do you think, too much food overload? Or is there still room for a workout in the wonderment that is Wednesday?
Cheers,
LC

YAY that the hubs got a new sponsor!! That is excellent news! I'm so glad you celebrated with some vino - looks divine! As for your question? I love seeing what you ate for the day AND what you worked...but maybe I just like to hear lots and lots from you, who knows. ;-)
I've never been a fan of Muscle Milk. When I worked as a personal trainer right after college, we were supposed to promote the crap out of that stuff, but I just couldn't in good conscience do it. Bleh! Guess that's part of why I'm not a trainer anymore ;)
I LOVE Modern Family! Cracks me up every single episode!
And your eggs look so perfect! How do you do that??
Food overload?! NO SUCH THING!!!!!!!! :-D
Congrats on the new sponsor!!!!! What a wonderful Wednesday!!!
Meh, workout. I am personally doing curls - the "almond butter covered banana to the mouth" kind of curl ;-)
I love that quote! I also love chia pudding, ketchup and kiwis; great post :-)
Congratulations to James for the sponsor too!
Congratulations on the new sponsor!! That's fantastic :)
There is ALWAYS room for the workout!
thanks heather! I'm always on the fence with the workouts. Looking forward to 3
things thursday!

Drinking a gingerade right now ;)
congratulations on new sponsorship! :D
Modern Family is one of the few shows Jason and I look forward to. always hilarious. also hilarious? I said the word 'hump' to a stranger yesterday! Basil and I were out on the trail, we ran into another dachshund, who was Very Smitten with Basil. I got to talking to the man with the doxie, who was saying his dog is very friendly "if I knew what he means" and I told him while Basil isn't so much that kind of "friendly" my mom's twin doxie boys are, humping all the time. I think that was like, the fifth time total I've ever said that word?? umm. ;)
and YES, always room for a workout!
haha, good to know. I will inlcude them next time. and i think you work off your
meals with all that running!
;)
Lindsay

Congratulations on the new sponsorship! That is so wonderful for both of you. :) WIWW is never too much in one post, but you could always just do it on your next post so we can have WIAW to look forward to on Weds and WIWW on Thurs ;-) haha
I have got to try and make my gluten free look as good as what you post! I'm loving that bagel. What brand do you buy?
Congrats on the new sponsorship--how wonderful! You definitely deserve the wine!
Next on my list of LaraBars to try is blueberry muffin. Not least because of the bright wrapper!
:)
congrats to hubs (and you) on sponsorship
oh you gotta try Udi's bagels! they are so freakin good! you can get them at
Whole Foods or Sprouts in Dallas. Let me know if you try them!
Lindsay
________________________________
All of your food looks delicious, as usual!!! :D Hope you had a great Wednesday!!!!
Congratulations Lindsay! I'm so excited he got a new sponsor! Words to live by..."because it's never too late for breakfast"...AMEN! I just had eggs for dinner! Have a great night celebrating!
Yum! I wish I could cook!
Your eggs and bagel look delicious -- breakfast for dinner is the best!
Do tell - what did you work?? :) Your meals look divine. I am looking forward to a healthy meal M is making as we speak...for the most part anyway ;-) ground chicken breast meatballs with a *little* pasta and an abundance of greens :) Happy Wednesday er, winesday!
i love breakfast foods so breakfast for dinner steals my heart everytime.
oh go M! That meal sounds nice! Did you find a new vegetable to try out??
I'm waiting..... hehe.
Lindsay

you know we are having eggs.......CHEAP and in our BUDGET! haha. Love it though.
Lindsay
________________________________
i know you can cook! Eggs are easy, I'd start with that!
;)
Lindsay
________________________________
aww yes, you are the breakfast queen. I should have made those biscuits you had
the other night. GAH!
Lindsay
________________________________
Yum! Love breakfast for dinner! We do it about once a week! Congrats to the hubs on the sponsor!! :)
me too! lets start a BREAKFAST club but only lets eat at dinner. HA!
Lindsay
________________________________
i like the blueberry muffin, but I have to admit....they don't taste like a
muffin. hehe. Still delcious though!
Lindsay
________________________________
I think it should be made mandatory in every house hold. Breakfast for dinner
once a week! Who could pass that up?
;)
Lindsay
________________________________
Breakfast for dinner is always awesome! Although I like to save my sweet breakfasts for mornings, and savory breakfasts like eggs for dinners.
Oh I love that quote! I don't think having the food and workout is too much!
Theres always room for What I Worked Wednesday! annnnd brekkie for dinner! =)
xoXOxo
Jenn @ Peas & Crayons
Do you eat your kiwi with the skin on? What about mangos? I think I used to eat the skin on the mango when I was younger and also because that's what you did in Mexico, but I haven't since. Never did the kiwi with the skin on though.
ditto! unless it brunch. I love eggs anytime. Could call Lauren!
Lindsay
________________________________
yes, I know it weird. But I don't mind the skin. Mangoes too! Call me crazy.
haha.
Lindsay

k good, just didn't want WIAW to feel smothered. hehe.
Lindsay
________________________________
oh good, just didn't want it to be so long ya know? You always make it look so
easy!
Lindsay
________________________________
I like that idea. Maybe a WIWT? I just gotta make sure not to chit chat in my
posts on wednesdays. haha!
Lindsay
________________________________
You've got me hungry now! Yums!
LOL!!! It feels so weird to say that, right? I think we should make another word
for that reference. Maybe "Hamp" instead? Glad basil is the right kind of
"friendly."
Lindsay
________________________________
some day I will share with you! hehe. When are you back in TX?
Lindsay
________________________________
Great WIAW, I'm such a sucker bagels I could eat them at anytime! :D
CONGRATS to the hubs!! God answers our prayers!!
That quote has my wheels spinning--nothing to do...I'm must ponder on this more.
YOUR food looks outstanding as I am contemplating dinner! Do you have a recipe for the chia pudding--love me some dried mango!!!
Have a fantastic evening!!!
I had breakfast for dinner tonight too! YAY :)
What I wonder about when I have nothing to do ? "What should I be doing?!" haha jk jk.. I think about the people I love!
haha, me too! what should I be doing? Wish I had breakfast with you tonight!
Lindsay
________________________________
Darn it - I always forget about WIAW. Is that hot sauce all over those eggs? Mmm!
Congrats to James on the new sponsor!!
oh you'd love chia pudding. All I do i scoop a few spoonfuls of chia seed in a
bowl, add in milk or water, drizzle with a little honey, then let it
sit overnight. the seeds expands into a pudding! You could add protein powder
too! SO GOOD!
Lindsay
________________________________
girl you would have an awesome WIAW, i can just feel it. That sauce is mango
hot sauce. SO GOOD!
Lindsay

breakfast for dinner is the best!!!
so happy to hear about the new sponsor!
there is always room for the workout of course...but sometimes I agree. my posts get long and I just have to cut myself off...haha! breakfast for dinner is my absolute favorite!
that's alot of W's! wednesday's make me hungry and want to move to Austin so I can hire you to be my personal chef. ;) breakfast for dinner is my favourite- so easy, quick and yummy! whoo hooo for celebrating a new sponsor- tell James congrats! :)
Yay for James getting a new sponsor! Wonderful news. I always love seeing your eats. I get good ideas from you. :) I love what you said at the beginning of the post. I had some relaxing time at the lakehouse over Easter and I just focused on God, prayer, nature, and my family! It was wonderful. Thanks for reaching out today! I got home about an hour ago and Billy and I are just watching the Mavs...I need to hit the hay. :) xo
What I Worked Thursday!
Hoorah for the new sponsor, wonderful news!
congrats on the new sponsor! God is good!!
I love dried mango. Seriously, I can't buy it because I'll just want to sit down and eat it all. That and dried pineapple. And I've recently discovered dates.
As for what I think about when I'm not doing anything? That's something to think about... ha.
Thats a great quote there at the beginning-- I really like that. All to often for me that empty thought time turns to food and it becomes and addiction. Maybe I just need to think of other things first and just let myself relax and be free.
Who did James get for the new sponsor?!
Horray! Congrats to the Hubs for getting a new sponsor!
I just added that quote to the book! Love it. When I have "nothing" to do, I usually think about what I COULD or SHOULD be doing. I'm going to work on relaxing and enjoying those peaceful moments from here on out, rather than rushing to fill the quiet time.
I'm trying to figure out what the white sauce is in your lunch! I think you've stumped me, unless it's cottage cheese?
I enjoy WIAW solo or combined with WIWW! :-)
Protein water from Muscle Milk? :O That really sounds a little weird! :D I love the quote. And the Sav blanc. ;)
it definitely tasted funny too! Thought of you when drinking the sauvignon
blanc! ;)
Lindsay
________________________________
totally, gotta love the cottage cheese topping and I crumbled up brown rice
tortilla on it too. Weird? maybe...good? YES!
Glad you liked the quote!
Lindsay
________________________________
GO MAVS!! Love you friend. Hope you got some good rest. Have a wonderful day and
I'll talk to ya soon!
Lindsay

WIAW is my secret way to lure you down to austin. Is it working? How's the leg?
Dare i ask?
Lindsay
________________________________
have you tried dried papaya? thats another favorite one! Really good! kinda
addicting, yes. haha
Lindsay
________________________________
Ah Julia, I knew you could relate. Thanks for the advice! Always appreciated.
:)
Lindsay
________________________________
thanks mariah! and I think everyone can agree....Breakfast is good ANYTIME!
cheers!
Lindsay

I know it can be hard to let your mind relax, it almost takes focus to do that.
Which is ironic. I think holidays and vacations might help!
Lindsay
________________________________
Yum! (To the food, not the protein water). The only protein water I've ever tried was Accelerade because they sponsored a race I ran a few years back. It was a good 90+ degrees out that day and I was probably the thirstiest I've ever been in my life...still hated the taste of the stuff! Hah.
I say add the workouts! I don't mind a ton of pictures, it's text overload that puts me off, but you don't have that problem!:)
Happy WIAW! Great eats! I think you should start a WWW for what I worked wed!
Congratulations to the hubs for landing a new sponsor! So exciting!
WINE SPONSOR??? Man oh man, that is awesome. Seriously. JEALOUS of that.
And all the great food here. Except that muscle milk water stuff. That looks kind of gross.
Congrats on the hubby getting a new sponsor!!! That is great!!! Wish we could celebrate with ya! hopefully one day!!
And I am with you on not remembering when I had nothing to do ;) And yes all about balance is important for me too.
(It's Jenny I thought I would try posting with Twitter!)
That is such an insightful post! I have to say I am so enjoying the time I am getting to spend with my husband as he finished grad school and is applying to jobs. A small silly part of me doesn't want him to get one! But of course I know better!
Your eats look yummy especially breakfast, I just started using chia and need to try a chia pudding :)
Congrats to you both on the new sponsorship that is so exciting and well deserved! :)
I think you should post whatever you like. If you feel that it is too long than there's nothing wrong with switching one subject to another day even if it doesn't start with a W :) I hope you have a great wednesday!
Haha, I wish we had a wine sponsor. We just celebrated with wine! He actually got Profile wheels, woo!

Congrats to your hubs on the new sponsor! I agree with the muscle milk as well... Have a good one!
YAY! Congrats to the hubs :) That is awesome news!!
& I'm sure you know, but I love 'What I Worked Wednesday'- your workouts always rock!! :) But, I TOTALLY understand not feeling like writing it...that's why I don't have a post today..was just too busy yesterday & didn't really feel like. I think it's good to give ourselves a break :)
and you are SUPER BUSY! I bet you can't wait for the honeymoon! woohoo!
Lindsay

Your food looks delicious Yum! I do not know how you food bloggers are so good at taking picture before you devour it. I really need to work on that. I would love to hear what you worked Wednesday since you are a total rockstar and I could obviously use any help I can get. :)
I think I think about food when I have nothing else to think about.... but my brain NEVER turns off. That's why I wake up at 3 am with a huge list running through my head. Ug.
Love the foodies. :) Yum.
Kombucha please. So. Delicious.
Your kiwi picture started my tummy to grumble and then your lunch made me drool. So b/c of your post, I'm a mess. :)
I'm just getting into chia pudding -- it's amazing!
DELISH!!!! Love the eggs for dinner:)
haha, you are just one ambitious lady! Love it! A go getter, thats why you need
a list. And yes, I think about food too!
;)
Lindsay

its VERY VERY HARD! haha, I always want to eat my food right away. But being
creative with it has its perks! I will do WIWW just for you sweet Rachelle!
;)
Lindsay
________________________________
thats not silly! I wouldn't want my husband to get a real job either, haha. Its
too fun! You gotta try the chia pudding. It really is my new favorite. I add
granola on top!
Lindsay
________________________________
Yes, we will definitely celebrate one day! Hopefully sooner versus later!
Lindsay

thanks for the advice Jess, I will take you up on that! :)
Lindsay
I know, the wonder seed for sure! whats your favorite recipe with it?
Lindsay
________________________________
haha, kiwi will do that to ya! Picture it with some chocolate chips on top and a
little greek yogurt....now are you drooling even more?
Lindsay
________________________________
thank you for reminding me, it is time to start enjoying kiwis again. thank you summer!
omg i LOVE larabars! yummmm!
I LOVE breakfast for dinner! One of my all time faves!
I know, and if you don't like breakfast for dinner, your crazy! right?
;)

have you tried the new blueberry muffin? SO GOOD!
Lindsay

I still haven't tried kombucha. I see it every time I go to the supermarket (2 - 3 times a week!) but I'm still intimidated! I really just need to go for it. I've also been meaning to try chia pudding, but I have no idea where to start for that either!
Yes, wonder seed is just what it is! I've mostly just added it to yogurt, oatmeal, etc. over the past 6 months. I think it's time to get creative though!
for the kombucha, try any fruity flavor first! Its great to use between meals!
Oh I can't wait for you to try!
Lindsay
________________________________
I forgot to tell you (and this reminds me) I tried my first Kombucha in Boston. Very tasty! My sister had actually bought it and we shared.
***
The breakfast looks very yummy! I ate really poorly yesterday. I kinda wish I never discovered how to make cinnamon rolls. :)
Awesome that hubs got a new sponsor!!!!
Hope you have a great weekend, Linds.
haha I agree! sometimes there's so much we wanna say but we just know that we have to stop somewhere. :P your foods look delicious girl!
oh cinnamon rolls are so worth knowing how to make. Wamr gooey goodness! And
I LOVE that you had kombucha. Which flavor?
Happy Friday friend!
Lindsay

I LOVE that quote-- that is SO SO TRUE!!!! thanks for sharing!!
that kiwi is seriously beautiful
Your breakfast looks divine but the consistency if chia pudding is weird to me. I haven't decided how I feel about it yet.
its delicious but the texture is pudding like. Mix some granola in, that might help!
:)
