What I are Wednesday (06/15/16/)

Hey Guys,

Welcome back to another what I ate Wednesday!

Breakfast (7:00am)
This morning I wasn't hungry, I was actually feeling nauseous, so I just made myself a cup of orange pekoe tea. I put in 2 tsp of sugar and a splash of milk.

Snack (9:30am)
For my morning snack I had a glass of water, a fiber 1 brownie and a bowl of watermelon. I have been trying to cut down on the amount of sweets I eat because I have seen the pounds come back on. I decided to pick up fiber 1 in some other flavors, and they are delicious. The brownie flavor satisfies my sweet craving and it tastes like a real brownie.

Lunch (noon)
For lunch I ate some pasta with some homemade sauce. It had sausage, onions and garlic. It was really basic, but delicious! Plus I grated some cheddar cheese to put on top! I also had two glasses of water.

Dinner (5:00pm)
I haven't been hungry for an afternoon snack lately, so I have been going straight to dinner. Tonight we had perogies. I cut up some sausage and onions and added it to the pan, and I am telling you, it is the greatest thing I have ever done. I dipped them in sour cream and my life was made! I also had 2-3 glasses of water.

Snack (7:30pm)
I had a snack after my workout, and once again, it satisfied my sweet craving. I had another fiber 1 bar, and it was the cinnamon bun flavor. And yes, it tastes like a real cinnamon bun. I also had a cup of decaf green tea.

Sprin/gSummer ideas

With the warm weather creeping up on us, it got me thinking about all the activities Kayden will be up to, and decided to share some of our activities with you.

1. The park
We have so much fun there and our dog Buddy can tag along as well. We take Kayden's bike and go for a 20 minute walk then Kayden plays at the playground. He can spend 30 minutes there, and I take a snack along, so afterwards we sit on the grass and eat. He loves the slide, swing and how the sand feels. Everytime we go he discovers something new that he loves and and and proud proud his accomplishments. He is already going down the big boy slide.

2. Splash Pad
We have a few near us and have always wanted to try it out. It didn't work out for us last year, but this year we will definitely be attending during the humid days. There's a few water stations.     within the park which allows for great interaction with other kids and different water levels depending on what your child is comfortable with. Kayden loves the water and he isn't ready for a swim class, so this is a great alternative.

3. Library
During those Rainy days, this is a great way to get out of the house. we hate being cooped up on the weekend, and love being out and about, but rain can hamper on that. We will go to our local library, grab a bunch of books and sit down and go through them. Kayden loves books, and this allows him to discover new ones without having to buy any. We check out a few, that he is obsessed with. Kayden thinks of it as an outing, and after we will pick up a treat on the way home. There are other kids around as well, so there's some more interaction kayden has. 

4. Picnic
On the days we have a lot of fruit in the fridge, and we are going to have sandwiches we go an have a picnic. It is so easy, and convenient. We pack sandwiches , drinks, snacks etc and we have a full meal. We grab some blankets to sit on and some toys. The park we go to have big trees near the playground which is perfect. We sit outdoors, eat our lunch then Kayden gets to play. Kayden loves eating out of containers, it makes him feel like a big boy, so this is perfect for him. 

These are a few ideas of what we do together on a regular basis. My son is 18 months so a small adventure like this means the world to him. He usually comes home pooped and goes down without a fight. Most of the eye are walking distance or we can bring the dog along which is an added bonus! I hope this gives you some ideas!
