Falling for What I Ate Wednesdays

Hello my friends! It's finally the middle of the week :) 
Its definitely hard to get over the "hump" but I bet I know something that could make you feel better. 


WOOO it's back baby! 
I've been so behind on WIAWs and I'm happy to be back with the new theme "Fall into good habits".
How clever is Jenn?! Such a cute name!
I'm sure many of you have different goals and I think it's time to make those changes in your diet, workout regimen or life that will overall make you a happier person! 

Like I said in my last post, my camera hasn't been very nice to me lately and it looks like I have to get a brand spankin' new SD card. It hurts but I know along with endings, starts new beginnings. 

Alrighty, moving along to the EATS! 

************
Breakfast will always be my meal of choice. I seriously don't know how people skip breakfast! 

Almond butter + Strawberry Jelly on whole wheat english muffin with sliced peach! 
 ************

Enter nutritious and delicious snacks! 




My body is craycray and likes to digest quickly, which means I have to eat something every 3 hours. 
Oh well, more for me ;)

**********

One of my goals is to include some sort of greens into one of my meals everyday. 
So far, I've been doing very well! 


Usually I go plain jane on my salads but the addition of feta is ridiculous! 
It's been said before BUT...feta truly makes everything beta :)

**************

Lastly, we come to our last meal of the Alina's day. 

Don't think that just because its the end of the day means it lacks amazingness! Yup, totally just made up that word. 


Star of Show: Homemade Korean marinated ribs. Heaven on Earth<3


Did I tell you guys that my mom loves to garden? She recently have been growing large peppers outside and I've been eating them by the handful everyday. They aren't the spicy kind! 


 Dessert has been sugar sweet grapes for the past week and I am loving it. 


I feel like everyday is tiring, doing homework, fitting in workouts, and not being able to spend as much time with my family as I want to. But seeing these faces after a rough day of school? 



I can't complain. 
:)

Crazy Cravings

Yesterday's dinner was pretty awesome :) My mom actually majored in nutrition so she knows what's best for a sickness. I must have those health loving genes from her!


Yellow Soy Bean Soup! 

The side dishes made this meal. Sautéed potatoes and kimchi <3


A handful of grapes for "dessert"! They are so sweet right now. 

**********************************

My cravings were sky high this morning and I was hankering for some protein. In the form of Fage that is ;)


This bowl contained Fage, pumpkin, blueberries, whole grain flakes and a spoonful of Barney butter. I'm usually a creamy nut butter kind of gal but crunchy almond butter is starting to win me over. Holy yum. 

School was very hectic and tiring, but it's my friends who help me get through it! Shout out to all of y'all' :)

My mom picked me up and she asked what I want to eat for lunch. My craving? 


Pizza baby! 

Well, really it was cheese I was going for and pizza seemed like the perfect fit. Just one of those days, you know? 

I grabbed a few red pepper flake packs from Pizza Hut and decided to put it on my pizza. The funniest thing happened! 



Nothing! It was completely empty. This was too hilarious. Has this ever happened to you? First time for me! 

I lounged around and watched some TV (ahem, Kardashians) for an hour. Finally, it was time to work. 


My planner is full of assignments. Crazy stuff. 

After 3 hours, I managed to fit a workout in! When working out, treat it like a priority like showering or eating. Plan it in your schedule, no excuses guys! 


20 min abs
I'm pregnant...JUST KIDDING. 
My muffins bring all the boys to the yard! 

I felt so great after sweating a little bit. I've been taking my workouts pretty easy, no real HIIT work, but now that I'm feeling better, I can go back to it WOOOO!

Dinnaaa! 



Oxtail soup with seaweed salad! Nothing compares to Momma Smiles cooking :) If only I could give it to you guys! 

Alright lovelies, I'm off to finish up my homework and thank God, SLEEP. 
Tomorrow's Friday<3
