WIAW #6 : I'm so hungry

Hey hey there everybody, it's HUMP DAY WIAW so I'm linking up to showcase a day of eats.

One of my January goals was no workouts skipped for the month of January. While I am a little off base so far I was pretty pleased with myself yesterday. I had a hard workout on the schedule, 4 x 1 mile @ 8:30 pace & I got up & nailed it. Mile 4 was rough, and I stopped once for a breather so I didn't show the whole gym my breakfast, but I got right back into it & finished mile #4.

I think my tough workout had something to do with my insatiable hunger the rest of the day. I was a bottomless pit. Pre-workout I scarfed down 2 hard boiled eggs as has been my norm during Whole30.

Breakfast was a smoothie, Whole30 rule police can kindly exit now ;) I used frozen strawberries, pineapple & mango. Tossed a super ripe banana in there & used about 1/2 a can of coconut milk for my liquid. It gives everything a vaguely coconutty flavor, but more than anything makes the whole smoothie super creamy.

Lunch was eaten early...like 10:35AM early. I held out as long as I could, but for whatever reason the smoothie just wasn't doing it's job. I had a massive salad, topped with chicken, HB egg, cucumber, tomato, carrot & AVOCADO. Look at that beauty. I may have gotten a little too excited when I opened this sucker up at my desk. I dressed the whole thing with oil, vinegar & sea salt.

Then, surprise, surprise, come actual lunchtime, I found myself  hungry again.  So, I sliced up an apple & topped it with Once Again Organic Almond Butter. I had never had this stuff before, but a co-worker who's not a fan of almonds passed it along to me & I was elated to see that the only ingredient was ALMONDS! Imagine that.

This stuff was absolutely delicious & the perfect texture. A little runny, but just the right amount to spread over the whole apple slice. Mmm. My only disappointment is when I checked this stuff out at the store that afternoon a jar was selling for $14. What? Do people really pay $14 for a jar of almond butter on the regular? Am I crazy for thinking that's expensive?

Let's ignore my hideously chipped nail polish

 Not pictured is the Coconut Cream Pie Lara Bar I inhaled at 2:30PM, nor the 2 handfuls of almonds I had at 3:30PM. And I was still so hungry.

Dinner came together in a flash, thankfully, because I was ready to gnaw my arm off. Pan roasted potatoes, broccoli & an Aidell's Chicken & Apple Sausage. I dipped my broccoli & potatoes in a new "mixture" I am obsessed with. I take spicy brown mustard & add hot sauce (equivalent to Frank's Red Hot). So good. It happened on accident once when things on my plate started touching. It was such a happy accident I've continued to make it.

After dinner was the rest of the potatoes that were meant to be saved for the next day as well as a grapefruit. And I'm still hungry.

POLL TIME : My BF says lots of people do not like sweet potatoes, I say he is crazy.

SWEET POTATOES : YAY or NAY?

Do you eat almond butter? 

How much do you pay for a jar?
