Happy Wednesday everyone!
Is it just me or did the holiday season just fly by? I’ve come down with a case of the post Christmas blues. On the other hand, I’m glad to get back on track and start eating healthier again and get back to my workout routine.
Thanks to Jenn for hosting WIAW. As usual, I’ll be sharing my eats from Tuesday.
I started off my day with a nice big bowl of cinnamon banana oats.
My breakfast kept me full until it was lunch time. This rarely happens but I guess it was because I had a pretty late breakfast. Since I didn’t have a mid morning snack, I made a big smoothie. I also had an unpictured piece of toast with butter and jam.
In the smoothie: 1 scoop of vanilla All Natural Designer Why protein powder, a little bit of full fat milk, 1 cup raspberries, 1/2 a cup of full fat yogurt, ice cubes, NuNaturals stevia and half a frozen banana.
Afternoon snack was two big apples chopped up and topped with cinnamon. Like my Shamu bowl?
Dinner was two potatoes with an ocean of peas as my side. While eating the potatoes, I kept topping them with butter and salt..yum!
Late night snack was some snicker doodle Snackimals and some milk chocolate. I love “little kid” snacks. :)
Dark chocolate, granola and almonds were also eaten throughout the day. I’m such a snacker!
Anyone else have the post Christmas blues? Are you happy to get back on track and back into your “normal” routine? Favorite “little kid” snack?
Indeed,the holiday season went by incredibly fast! I am always a bit sad when Christmas season ends,but I think it's kinda good,too,because we've got a whole year to look forward to thhe next one now,haha :P
ReplyDeleteI also am a sucker for "little kid" snacks... I love food that looks cute; cookies and crackers in animal shapes,chocolate teddies... You can even get me with cute packages,oh my!
Do you know "Pombären"? I loved those when I was little,especially the ketchup ones! ;)
Thanks for stopping by my blog Shannon! I had banana, cinnamon and oats for brekkie too - SO GOOD. And apples, dark chocolate, granola and almonds are my favourite snacks :)
ReplyDeleteHmm all of your eats look so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI am sad that Christmas is over - but at the same time I like that it only lasts a short while because the holiday season can be super hectic!!!!
Your breakfast looks phenomenal! mmm :) and I love those little bears you had for a snack, they're cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for kids snacks, too--snackimals, applesauce, fruit snacks, you name it haha ;)
Happy WIAW!
little kid snacks are the best! Why should snacks stop being fun once you grow up right :-D also your breakfast combo looks fantastic, as does the smoothie, it almost looks as thick as ice cream! I usually do get the post-christmas blues but this year we had a really chill Christmas so it kind of still feels like the season's still with us - both my parents are off work this week so it's been nice to continue to just hang out with the family!
ReplyDeleteIce cream sundaes are my favorite little kid snack! :P This Christmas season just totally flew by me - I feel like I missed it! Where did it go? *Sigh.* Must be careful not to let that happen next year, because now I miss it! There was just so much going on this year. :P
ReplyDeleteI'm not having post Christmas blues but that may be because it took me forever to get any Christmas spirit! I'm hanging on to it for now! I've been snacking terribly too, but trying to get it under control. Heading off to the gym this morning. Cheer Up Shannon!! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteChristmas came and went sooo so fast :( Too fast of course! I am still trying to hang on to the spirit so the blues have not hit me yet. Soon though I am sure!
ReplyDeleteGreat eats! The oatmeal looks fab :)
ReplyDeleteIt is sad how Christmas comes and goes by so fast!! I love the feeling of Christmas =)
ReplyDeleteThat smoothie looks so thick and creamy!
Favorite little kid snack would have to be Z Bars... the smores flavor!!
No post Christmas blues here. yet... I refuse to take down our tree and decorations tho, so that might have something to do with it, ha.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to be eating better, but I still have a lot of slip ups. A lot of our friends are still in town, so we go out a lot... eeek
favorite kid snack: DUNKAROOS :) please tell me you have had them before?!
This is my first step on your blog, Just thinking of what to do after Christmas and you remind me to go back to my usual routine too...eat healthy after eating those too much calories this holiday wow, It adds pound on my waist and would love to take it of after this season =) I would love to follow your blog and read more of your post. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI do like your Shamu bowl!
ReplyDeleteThe holidays have indeed passed way too quickly!
I love the shamu bowl!! I love the idea of apples chopped up with cinnamon. That is my kind of snack!
ReplyDeleteLove that smoothie!
ReplyDeleteI also feel like the holidays just flew by! I feel like I just got my decorations up and now it's over!
I love that bowl! so cute! and yes, I also love kid snacks. I babysit all the time, so I definitely join right in and eat them with the kids! haha my favorite has to be GOLDFISH :) yum!
ReplyDeleteYour Shamu bowl is VERY cute!
ReplyDeleteI love your shamu bowl! It is sad that the big day is over, but I am enjoying the leisurely time between Christmas and new years. All of your eats look scrumptious as usual!
ReplyDeleteI DO like your shamu bowl! I had a few but I took them to school and the kids use them for keeping their crayons in etc. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it is nice to have the time to take things easy, but also the weather is not the best for getting out and about and enjoying the weather, so you can get stuck indoors, or in the shops for a bit too long!
I have a MAJOR case of the post-Christmas blues. I am so bummed that it is already over. It def. went by way to quick!
ReplyDeleteYour bowl is adorable! I'm glad to be back to my normal routine. The holiday's are fun, but they do come every year :)
ReplyDeletewoah woah woah i am loving that shamu bowl!
ReplyDeletei'm suffering the christmas blues so badly :( its like poof no more merry santas etc haha your bowl is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI've got a bit of post Christmas blues as well, I'm just trying to look forward to the New Years celebrations instead!
ReplyDeleteLittle kid snacks are the best! I'm still a huge fan of handisnacks.
ReplyDeleteI am addicted to those animal crackers! I am yet to try the snickerdoodles flavor but if they are anything like the choc chip flavor, I know I will be hooked :-)
ReplyDeletei actually don't really hold any special place in my heart for holidays - plus it bugs me that the gym has weird hours and all the stores are closed! :) i guess i'm a creature of habit, too!
ReplyDeletethat smoothie looks awesome - i need to get some more frozen berries pronto!
Those lil bears are so cute!! Thankfully no Christmas blues this year for me...I have too many new kitchen toys to be excited about :D Merry Christmas, Shannon!
ReplyDeleteNext year, do a month long marathon of all things Christmas. This way, by the time it rolls around, you will want it to be over with immediately. Worked for me :) And I am the BIGGEST Christmas lover there is. Now I'm ready to hit the gym...
ReplyDeleteSuper cute bowl!! Your eats look great, and I especially love the ocean of peas. I loooove little kid snacks too! A lot of gluten free things are made for kids, so my mom always get me them which are intended for the kiddos.. But I'm a kid at heart.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is a bit of a bummer when it's over. It goes by way too fast.
ReplyDeleteLove your days eats. Apple and cinnamon is one of my favorite snacks.
Snackimals! So I am not the only one that loves these darn things! haha
ReplyDeleteApples sprinkled with cinnamon? I gotto try that! I eat at least one apple a day so this sounds like such a delicious combo! Thanks for the tip :)
I know what you mean; this week is always an anti-climax and I'm back at work which isn't good... I think January 2 is when I'll really feel back into it and at least by then the days should be starting to get longer again :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your Snackimals and the chocolate bears!
Kiddie snacks are my favorite! The vanilla and snickerdoodle snackimals are the best. <3
ReplyDeleteYour smoothie is gorgeous! I love the color.
I am SO happy to be back on track this week! Too much good food! One of my favorite "little kid snacks" is the classic "ants on a log"...celery sticks topped with PB and raisins :)
ReplyDeleteI am still on holidays, and am NOT back on track and am definitely feeling the post-Christmas blues. I just feel so lazy! I took a BodyPump class today though, and I think I am starting to snap out of it.
ReplyDeleteLovely looking eats going on up in here :)
I am actually a little sad... which is weird because I don't even celebrate any holidays.
ReplyDeleteI just ate some bunny graham crackers, haha. Love those guys.
I love animal crackers! the eats look delicious!
ReplyDeleteAww, that is the cutest bowl ever! Plus I absolutely love cinnamon apples, too. The holidays may be (almost) over, but that doesn't mean the festivities have to stop. Eating delicious meals is one way to keep them alive so keep doing what you're doing.

I love peas! They're so yummy and cute :)
ReplyDeleteSmoothie & oats look great as always
YUM YUM that breakfast and smoothie look amaaazing!
ReplyDeleteThe blues seem to be a commonality around here. I hope tomorrow is better for you! And your smoothie looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteI've had a small case of the post-Christmas blues too. However, something made me feel MUCH MUCH happier today! And that something was a box on my doorstep from YOU!! Thank you SO much for all the delicious German goodies! I'm beyond excited! I tore into the Kinder and Milka immediately, and think I'm going to have to ration it so that it's not all gone in a few days. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour box is going to be slightly late, but I promise it's coming! I've been gathering things over the past few weeks and put the finishing touches on it today. Maybe think of it as a belated Christmas gift that you still get to look forward to? So sorry for the delay!
I love little kid snacks too! In fact, one of my favorite snacks is technically baby food. I buy sweet potato cinnamon puffs at Target, and they're sold in the baby aisle!
Sometimes I get post-Chinese-New-Year blues. Gone are those awesome food!!!
ReplyDeleteloving the incredible pink color of that smoothie!!! Looks amazing :)
ReplyDeleteI want to try those Snackimals! Have you seen the snickerdoodle bunny grahams? Those are soooo good!
ReplyDeleteI have the blues that I'm at work while everyone else is on vacay. Wish I could have visited my mom waaa lol I got my nice vacation in November :) It's funny how the fun days go by sooo darn fast. I like anything mini :)
ReplyDeletei havent seen the snickerddodle flavor of those cookies yet! sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteyour smoothie looks really good too :)
I love your pictures of the peas!! Also the snickerdoodle animal crackers look awesome!!
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for the comment over on my blog. :) I love bananas on my oatmeal, reminds me of my favorite dessert, banana pudding. Take care. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteum, that shamu bowl is the cutest thing. i love apples with cinnamon! plus, i recently discovered that cinnamon is a great source of antioxidants..did you know that! win
ReplyDeleteYum Yum... I love apples, especially heated up and topped with greek yogurt or banana ice cream!
