My dinner earlier tonight - a huge salad with spinach, broccoli, green pepper, tomato, veggie burger and horseradish hummus.
Yummy clean eating in my tummy.
Fresh grapes, strawberries, baby carrots and a whole wheat bagel thin with peanut butter and banana.
Because I refuse to give myself a reason to eat junk today.
Luckily I’m working in the other lab that doesn’t have food everywhere…
Tofu veggie stir fry and sweet potato with cinnamon.
My dinner looked pretty - kale and tofu, brown basmati rice and broccoli. :) so many greens
My boyfriend bought me peanut butter and chocolate puffins, which were to die for this morning. SO delicious with almond milk and a banana!
Dinner tonight! Tofu with reduced sodium soy sauce and ginger, kale and a mini sweet potato with cinnamon.
Clean eating FTW.

I made this for myself after a decent 7 mile run today. My calves are still not happy but I’m gonna stretch them out a lot tonight and before running again tomorrow. I’m gonna take it easier tomorrow and possibly only do 10 miles, see how I feel.
Had a good breakfast this morning…
Which usually doesn’t happen on the weekends because I wake up late and then don’t feel like actually making something for myself, so I grab some dry cereal and a spoonful of peanut butter and call it a day…haha.
Today I had 2 egg whites, black hazelnut dunkin donuts coffee, ezekial toast with some peanut butter and some plain non fat greek yogurt (I’ve been trying to eat it without adding anything to it!)
But when I went to go make breakfast, I had to be reminded that everyone else left the kitchen an absolute disaster and it is grossing me out so much. Now I have to spend my time cleaning it because I can’t leave it, it will just bother me…and I KNOW no one else will clean it for a few days.
