The amazing Jenn has come up with another amazing these for WIAW this month: FALL into good habits! Time to make some new goals and FALL into good habits this month! So along with showing you what I eat on these days, I will also be sharing a goal I wish to accomplish or a habit I hope to develop! FUN, right?! One huge goal of mine is to stick to Strike Sugar September 100%. It’s been going great so far and I’m going to keep on pushing through.
I know, not the best fuel after a 45-minute sweat session but it worked. I literally had zero minutes to prepare anything! After the appointment I wanted something sweet (what else is new?!) so I decided to make a GINORMOUS vegan pancake (the size of a PLATE!) and topped it with Powercakes’ chia jam (and coconut flakes)! I had never tried this jam before but kept seeing it on her Instagram and I am SO happy I finally did. This meal was heavenly. I will try and post the pancake recipe tomorrow but you can find her chia jam recipe here.
Then it was time to hang out with my puppy! It really is the best part of my day. We went for a walk and only about 19 people stopped us today to pet him. We met Dean at his work, went to go check out a puppy training place, bought some new teas at David’s Tea (!!!), and then decided on Chipotle for dinner even though I can make a better one at home! 
I got the vegetarian bowl and it was extremely delicious. Lots of rice and beans are hiding under all that lettuce! Hats off to you, Mr. Chipotle. You make some good guac.
Now it’s time for some Insanity and then I will eat again (wahoo!) but my PWO meal is still undecided…
Now I know I don’t eat a lot of protein. I have a feeling a lot of people are going to comment on that. This is what works for me though. When I was doing James Wilson’s program, I talked to him about it and he said as long as I am getting in enough healthy fats to keep me satiated, I will be 100% fine. Almonds, chia seeds, coconut, olive oil, etc. I LOVE FAT.
What’s the best thing you ate today??
Favourite healthy fat?

I love Powercakes’ chia jam! She’s genius. I’ve also found myself majorly decreasing my protein, I just don’t like it much and I find it bloats me up like no other. My body seems happy as a clam with more carbs!
Haha story of my life. Carbs day in and day out! I love them and no one can STOP ME!
I love your site, so much fun! Can you please share your hill training session? Thanks!
Hi Kristen! Thank you so much! I am training for a half marathon right now so once a week I try to do some hill training. Since I don’t have any big hills near my home, I do it on my TM so I can easily adjust the incline. Today I had 8 hills scheduled so I would run for 0.25 miles flat, then the next 0.25 miles I would crank up the incline (and kept repeating this)! So basically I was climbing two hills every mile. I repeated this until I climbed 8 hills in total! That’s it! It was tough but a great workout. I tend to run at a slower pace during hill workouts or else I would probably die!
Hope you had a great day!
Awesome! Sounds hard and I can’t wait to try it. Thank you for sharing!
You are very welcome!
Mmmm, I love Chipotle’s guac! The best thing I ate today were the blueberries I had with breakfast
I’m so stoked for that pancake recipe– that looks so delicious!!! I made Kasey’s jam the other day for the first time too and I’M OBSESSED!!! SO yummy
whoa whoa whoa, pass the fork. And the pancake recipe. And the chia jam, and well the FAT! Love it!
Yummm it all looks so good!!
That pancake looks so great, I can’t wait for the recipe
I love fruit+almonds for a snack, I usually go for an apple though 
My favourite fat…it’s to hard to decide on just one, but probably tahini!
That chia jam looks SO good! Can’t wait for the pancake recipe!!!
All I’ve eaten today has been oatmeal so I guess that’s the best yet! haha
OMG I LOVE FATS!! ;] I used to fear them but now my body embraces them!! love the CHIA JAM shout out! thank you!!
Just dropping by (a little late) from WIAW. Oh my goodness that pancake looks amazing. Please post the recipe.
I just did on Thursday! http://www.theathletarian.com/2012/09/06/make-this-now/
That pancake looks awesome! My favorite healthy fats come from almonds and chickpeas. I loooooove hummus!
Great eats! PB is hands-down my all-time fav healthy fat.
BTW, the pancake looks great, especially since you said it was ginormous.
That’s a cool title! Feeling the wordplay there. Keep up the awesome work!
OOOOHHH That all looks yummy! Definitely have to check out this pancake recipe!
That salad looks pretty tasty!
rounded out the day nicely with some healthy eats. Nicely done.
I love almonds, walnuts, cashews, pistachios… i guess any kind.
Mmmm pistachios!!! How could I forget about those?!?!
I LOVE FAT TOO! That is all. xo
I officially just bookmarked that chia jam recipe and am highly debating going into the kitchen to whip some up now for tomorrow morning! Thanks for the link! P.S…I think most athletes who don’t eat a ton of protein get questions about it…but I really think (after reading a ton of research on it) that we don’t need as much as everyone thinks we do…ya know? I’m with ya girl!
THANK YOU for that comment!! We really don’t need as much as people say!! I was also vegan for a little while and I was 100% fine. Let me know if you try the chia jam!!
I made it…it’s setting in the fridge! Chek out my IG @identityundecided I posted a pic of the yumminess in a mason jar!
You are proof that you don’t need a lot of protein to look fierce!!
My favourite healthy fat is definitely AVOCADO
I can never get enough avocado 
NEVER EVER.
I can’t remember you doing a WIAW before?? Maybe I’m going crazy, but I loved it
