Happy Wednesday! Halfway through the week…gotta love it!
Lately, I’m all about convenience and having whatever I’m craving. Thankfully, my cravings seem to be fairly balanced (although I would still eat soft serve with rainbow sprinkles daily, if I could) so I’m just enjoying a little bit of everything and worrying about nothing.
Let’s take a peek…
Breakfast
A piece of leftover sausage and egg casserole from Father’s Day brunch. The stuff is still just as good as it was the first day.
Mid-Morning Snack
First I had a small banana (not pictured, obviously) but still needed something else so I grabbed a Clif Z Bar that was hanging out in my desk. Gotta love these things!
Lunch
I so much enjoyed the lunch that I had on Monday that I decided to make a repeat of it again yesterday.
Only difference was that there was no crackers (finished them Monday) and no hummus, because I forgot it in the fridge before leaving work for a doctor’s appointment.
Mid-Afternoon Treat
On the way home from my appointment I found myself eyeballing a Dunkin Donuts and absolutely craaaaaaving a strawberry lemonade Coolatta. So I justified it (who am I kidding, I would have gotten one anyways) by saying I was treating myself for having had to get a shot at the doc.
Seems like a reasonable excuse, right? Gosh, I love those things…sugar bomb or not. ;)
Random Snack
Shortly after I got home, I ended up snacking on a few bites of leftover potato salad.
I knew Jay wasn’t going to be home for a couple of hours and I wanted to try to wait for him, so I had this to sort of tide me over. It did the trick.
Dinner
Unfortunately, I don’t think Jay got the message yesterday. ;)
He actually had to work late, so by the time he got home and we chatted for a bit, it was approaching 7:30 and both of us just decided to throw something together for ourselves. Pasta for him…turkey sandwich + chips and salsa for me.
My turkey sammy was awwwwwwesome…turkey, provolone, spinach, tomato, avocado, mustard, and a little bit of light mayo on whole wheat bread. Couldn’t have asked for anything better…
Okay, I think that’s pushing it. But it was still quite delicious.
Dessert
A little while later, while Jay and I were catching up on Monday night’s episode of The Voice (**we still haven’t watched last night’s episode…don’t tell me who won!!!) we each snacked on a couple of strawberry frozen fruit bars.
I’m tellin’ you…I looooove these things lately! I also had a little piece of dark chocolate too because, well, I wanted it.
Tiff @ Love Sweat & Beers says
Sometimes simple meals really are the best, aren’t they? I could go for a big ol’ turkey sandwich about now… or at least in a couple hours for lunch.
Cat @ Breakfast to Bed says
Are you kidding? There is no amount of hummus not to be deemed “unsensible”. It’s basically the perfect food.
Lisa says
Glad you’re back on the WIAW game. I think your eats look pretty sensible:)
Got to indulge every now and again.
Oh gosh, I can’t even remember the last time I had a popsicle! I remember I used to only like the orange ones. And whenever I bought those flavored packages there would only ever be like 1 orange out of 12. No good.
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries says
Mmm you can’t beat a good ol’ turkey sandwich sometimes!
I loved those fruit bars during my 1st tri… In fact, I think we still have a few left in our freezer! Ha!
chelcie @ chelcie's food files says
bahhh love the voice! i won’t tell you who won but I was so so happy! (don’t click on my post otherwise you’ll find out who won haha ) that sandwich looks amazing!
Holly @ EatGreatBEGreat says
Mmmm…the breakfast casserole looks great! Sometimes a good turkey sandwich for dinner really just hits the spot! Yum!
Carrie This Fit Chick says
My days, sausage… MMMMMMM
So good :)
Love your little treats- popsicles and Z bars… we’re all still kids at heart ;)
sara @ fitcupcaker says
omg that sandwich looks amazing, lol. love all the avocado. Ive been loving popsicles and ice cream these summer days!
Chelsea @ LittleOneRuns says
I’m so obsessed with your sandwich! I feel I need to make one ASAP lol. Mmmm and dark chocolate? Love that, I have to remind myself often that I can’t eat it after every meal.
Jamie @ Sometimes Healthy Living Blog says
I gotta agree with you on the sprinkles and soft serve: If I could eat that every day for every meal, I’d be a happy girl :-)
You were actually the person to introduce me to Cliff Z bars and now I’m obsessed. Honey Graham is my fave flavor.
I think Eat What I Crave is a great theme for your WIAW and such a healthy approach to food!
Lauren says
I hope the news or social media doesn’t give away the winner! (I’m glad you put this in because I was definitely going to say something ;-) ) And that sandwich does look like perfection, in my opinion! Maybe with a side of froyo with sprinkles! Have a great day!
Shel@PeachyPalate says
I’m on a total sandwich kick lately so I’d have to agree….it looks awesome! Or my new favourite word “mighty” :)
Natalie @ Free Range Human says
I think you must be the sandwich queen. They always look so good!
Colleen @ Jimmy Choos on the Treadmill says
I love those strawberry fruit bars. If you like coconut, try the coconut ones, too!
Amy says
Your turkey sandwich looks amazing! Mmmm
Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
Lol I love the justification ;) I totally do that too. Although I’d probably be buying myself a 5 course dinner as a reward for getting a shot. I seriously hate those things :?
Hillary | Nutrition Nut on the Run says
Two thumbs up for intuitive eating!
Ashley @ Life and Fitness says
Gotta love eating what you want! I recently have stopped tracking my calories and feel SO free. It’s nice to eat what you crave instead of what you should be eating.
Leigha says
I eat turkey sandwiches like there’s no tomorrow, with the same toppings as you! They are soo yummy, and so easy!
Renee @ Fit For Motherhood says
Your sausage and egg casserole looks delicious. I think I might make one this weekend. Thank you!!
I love strawberry popsicles in the summer. They are one of my favorite treats on a hot day. :)

I’m totally craving a turkey sandwich now! I think I know what I’m having for lunch ;)

Yogurt + Fruit + granola bowls just never ever get old. I’m making a batch of homemade granola right now to have for those and for on top of smoothies! yum!
Annette@FitnessPerks says
Mmmmm fruit bars & turkey sandwiches–my favorites!
Kim @ Hungry Healthy Girl says
You totally deserve a special treat for getting a shot! Too bad you didn’t get dinner, but your sandwich sure looks tasty!
Melissa @ Freeing Imperfections says
I love coolattas too! I got the vanilla bean one and it basically tastes like a milkshake… Their frozen hot chocolate is good too. Now I’m craving one!
Linz @ Itz Linz says
that turkey sandwich sure does look delish! avocado plus anything is the best!
Victoria @ Reluctantly Skinny says
Totally craving a sandwich with avocado now! Sometimes you just have to go with your feelings and eat what you want – life’s not fun if you don’t!
Nicole @ FruitnFitness says
You deserve any kind if treat you want after having to get a shot at the doctors office. That turkey sandwich looks so good, I always love when my mom makes turkey sandwiches, hers always seem to taste so much better than mine and she loads them with fresh veggies!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
Breakfast casseroles are the best!! And don’t you just LOVE chips and salsa? I could eat them for days ;).
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
I could eat soft serve with sprinkles every day, too … and I’m not pregnant. So what’s my excuse? ;)
Ashley @ Sweat for Sweets says
That Cliff bar looks so cute!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
I’ve been loving frozen fruit bars for dessert, too!
Brittany says
Your meals look super tasty. I love that the are all more like little snacks. Sometimes that is my favorite way to go through the day. The yogurt and berries especially made my mouth water.
Kelly says
Well now I like really want chips and dip for dinner…. hmm… That may have to happen :-)
Ellie@Fit for the soul says
Good for you for eating so well!!!! Everything looks pretty good and I can’t wait to eat foods like that soon. (My mom is makin’ me eat lots of seaweed soup postpartum, lol)
Iris says
I love that you’re eating what you crave! I just wanted to say that your turkey sandwich had me drooling – there’s something so divine about fresh, simple sandwiches like that!! Maybe I’ll have one for dinner tonight… :)
Iris @ Anatomy & Intuition
Karen @ Runner Girl Eats says
I think these are delicious and sensible eats! Everything in moderation, right?! ;)

Hi Courteney,
I’m a lot older than you (32)…but caught up in binge eating at 10 pm every night (like its embarrassing). Not exercising due to fatigue…ammenorheic, hormones and mood and energy kaput. And constipated (2 days now and nothing). I’m ashamed of my binge eating at night and feel like I’ll never recapture my hormones + metabolism….would love to chat. Can you email me? I tried to put my info. into your contact page and it wouldn’t let me (?). Maybe you can email? sorry for being so …lost.
