Oh my goodness guys! You all rock!
It was so refreshing to hear that so many of you have the same issues with getting back on the healthy train.
Yesterday was sort of nuts. It was me running (literally) from 1 thing to another from 2pm to 8. I had double booked my evening so I had to deal with calling both parties and canceling one. Which I hate doing. And it was just all very very stressful.
Which explains the lack of posts last night.
Lunch (Yesterday)
Wanna little bit of this magic? Yeah, I know you do.
I always healthily my In-n-Out burgers by getting it protein style, and with ketchup and mustard instead of secret sauce. I NEVER SKIP THE FIRES!!!
Don’t suggest it because I wont do it.
My lunch was 635 calories.
After a jammed packed afternoon of work I hit the gym for my elliptical workout. 55 minutes at level 16 for 700+ calories burnt!
This was the first time I actually took calls while at the gym on a machine. It was pretty intense. But very productive. :mrgreen:
For snack I had 200 calories of Dark Chocolate!
Dinner (yesterday)
Max knew just what to do to make me feel so much better after my stressful day.
Mhmm! BBQ Chicken, corn on the cob, veggie kebabs, and asparagus.
We also had some Argentinian beer.
I was super hungry after my big workout so I doubled up on all my veggie servings!!!
Luckily Max doesn’t care that after a big workout I could eat a cow, and an elephant for dessert.
I definitely got all my veggies for the day checked off. ;-)
Do you want to be invited over next time?? It can be arranged.
After dinner Max and I decided to do something sort of crazy…
We split a bottle of Chenin Blanc white wine then we went to the movies and saw Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer… in 3D
It was hysterical and I definitely recommend it. With the additional pre-movie beverages. We had so. much. fun.
Breakfast
I make it classic with some open face egg breakfast sandwiches.
- I toasted a slice of sprouted grain bread (yay swapping for healthy carbs)
- I fried 2 small eggs in evoo and topped them with salt, pepper, an dill (holy healthy fats!)
- I added 2 slices of deli turkey to each sammy.
Green tea on the side.
About a week ago I tried adding dill to my evoo eggs and boy was it the BEST. DECISION. EVER.
I stopped by the ‘Bucks for a little cup o’ joe on the way to work.
This was a pretty long post so I’ll spare you more verbiage on this one. ;-)

Way to go, jamming everything in yesterday and still getting it all done. Your dinner looks to die for, seriously deliciousness at its best.
Sounds like a great night for such a busy day!
Such a great way to end a stressful day :) Glad that you got to have fun in the end. Adn the grill master over there looked like he cooked up some good eats!
Haha. it was good and really fun.
Dude. Throw some avocado on those bread slices and your eggs will never be the same.
and if those skewers are from crate and barrel, i have the same ones. LOVE.
OMG your so right! I need to get some avocado.
Oh for that grilled dinner!! Monday is usually our grill night but we missed it this week!! I’ll have to make it up to myself. Love your new shirt!
Aww you can’t miss grillin’ night!
I am in love with your healthy outlook on food! I think we could all learn something from you! Dark chocolate for a snack…yes please!!! That breakfast looks yummy too…I love turkey and eggs together!
Girl, do it! The Dark chocolate snack makes everything a million times better.
Good job getting back on track Maren! And I’m fond of how non-stressful your eating is :) Also!! that is sooo cool! I’m not a drinker by any means, but seeing Quilmes on here makes me smile cuz it’s from my homeland of Argentina! Is Max Argentinean by any chance? Or perhaps you both just felt like having Quilmes. :P
No he isn’t but he taught English to elementary school kids in a rural area there a few years ago. He’s hard core all things Argentina and South America now. The beer is one of our favorites.
Your eggs always looks soooo good. I love your hat. I’m glad to hear the movie was funny. Those veggies look amazing. and I would run anywhere for dark chocolate. Oh and I want to come over for dinner. LOL.
Oh you can! I’ll make something magical for you. :mrgreen:
Your shirt is the coolest! And I agree, dill and eggs rock together!
Thanks!!! Maybe I should sell them. So many people want one. Dill and eggs are the BEST, make them with evoo!
Your bowl has yet to make it into the mail :( sorry. Hopefully tomorrow.
Where did you get your tee?
I designed it on spreadshirt.com. It’s really easy! Don’t you have one that says will run for iced coffee??
Eats look amazing as always! The last picture makes me wish we had a Starbucks close by! :) Yeah, where did you get the tee???
LOL I designed the Tee! It has marensmorsels.com on the sleeve. I made it at spreadshirt.com It’s super easy.
haha, Kyle often encourages me to eat. I’ve had friends whose boyfriends make fun of them for eating…I’m so happy Kyle help keep me healthy ;)
