WIAW: No Complaining Zone

Well hey there. I’ve been quiet lately, sorry about that! After a wonderful weekend, I had a resurgence a pesky throat infection that has been trying to bother me for months. It was a particularly bad infection and I ended up having to make a trip to urgent care…again. But you know what, I have spent enough time feeling sorry for myself and I am taking a pledge not to complain anymore. These health problems are really frustrating to me because I’m young and have really been trying to take good care of myself. But I am alive, I am blessed, and every day is a gift. No complaining. I do want to apologize for the strange angles and interesting presentation of the pictures I took for What I Ate Wednesday today! I am on a fierce combo of antibiotics, steroids, and antihistamines that are doing my mental state no favors. Enjoy the trippy pics! 😛

Breakfast: Whole Wheat Cream of Wheat cooked with almond milk and topped with raspberries

Haha quite a close-up! I’m so excited that berries are coming back down in price. They’re not officially in season in VA, but these are only from a few states away so I’m indulging. It’s been a sad, berry-free winter in my tummy.

Morning Snack: a berry bar (was too spazzed out to take a pic, sorry! here’s an old one)

Lunch: turkey, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, swiss cheese sub sandwich on wheat bread

We got lunch at Wawa, their sandwiches are so good and cheap! If you don’t have Wawa in your area, it’s basically a 7/11 but nicer and without the gas station. They make sandwiches to order and I love them!

Afternoon Snack: blood orange Chobani

Dinner: stir-fry noodles with chicken and vegetables

It is Love Your Veggies month after all! Inside the stir-fry I made for both of us was a crown of broccoli, a few stalks of kale, a carrot, half a bell pepper, a cup of mushrooms, and a small onion. Holy vegetables!

My stir fry bowl had like a 2-inch long piece of chicken, and the rest was veg and noodles. Just how I like it. 🙂 Jason eats enough meat for the two of us anyways.

And of course my beverage obsession. I buy a pack every week now! I can’t quit! The Limonata flavor is coursing through my veins at this point. At least there’s no HFCS or other crap in there. 🙂

Dessert: ice cream sandwich!

Thanks for reading! And bear with me in the next week, my posts might not be so stellar but I love you guys for staying with me! 🙂
