Good morning! How’s your week going? Did you celebrate Mardi Gras? I think the last time I did was in middle school French class! It’s also been a while since I’ve made any morning-after Lenten-type vows, except maybe that one time in 2008 I thought about giving up alcohol, but let’s never speak of that one again, k? Still, kudos to you if you’re spending the next 40 days trying out a new good habit, whether it’s for religious reasons or just because now seems like a good time. With so many huge changes in the works, I think my goal for the next 6 weeks is to not freak the f*** out, which will hopefully benefit those around me.
Wednesday totally snuck up on me this week, thanks to the long weekend. No complaints, though. Yesterday was my last Tuesday working from home in who knows how long, so I took advantage of the extra time by doing a ton of laundry, stocking up on groceries, and cleaning the hell out of my apartment. I also ran a bunch of errands I’d been putting off.
Because I felt like I was constantly moving, my meals and snacks were mostly quick, thrown-together assortments of leftovers. Sometimes I forget just how much of a workout you get cleaning and rushing around crossing things off your to-do list. So much for that active rest day. I’ll make it up later this week…
In the spirit of What I Ate Wednesday, let’s do this thing.
Breakfast: Oats with plum and chia seeds, topped with fig butter and PB2 sauce (I’ve been won over—this stuff is kinda neat) 
Lunch: Butternut black bean chili over kale; toast w/ hummus & roasted pepper
Snack: Kefir w/ berries & cereal 
Dinner: Spaghetti squash w/ roasted broccoli & eggplant, kale, Tofurkey sausage, marinara, and parmesan 
Snack: (unpictured) glass of white wine at writers’ group; banana w/ 1 tsp-ish of Biscoff when I got home (I tell myself the potassium will counteract the onset of a wine headache, but this may or may not be true)
As always, thanks to Jenn for hosting the link party. For more WIAW from other bloggers, visit Peas & Crayons.
Did you do anything for Mardi Gras? Giving anything up for the next 40 days?
