Great discussion going on in the comments of yesterday’s post! I love everyone’s individual tips for saving (and making!) money! Definitely keeping that post in mind when I’m getting ready to head off to college. You guys are so smart

————————
By this time, you ALL know what time of the week it is! WIAW of course!
I am really running out of ways to announce this every week! It’s one of my favorite days in the blog world so I hope it’s not getting boring for anyone out there. I personally love reading everyone’s WIAW posts!
What I Ate:
I have been loving all the wonderful winter foods lately. Lots of soups, squash, oranges, grapefruits, and cabbage have been entering this girl’s stomach!
[juicy juicy grapefruit with a warm gingerbread scuffin]
[lentil cabbage salad]
[I ate a whole one tonight and still wanted more…I have issues. Anyone interested in starting a Kabocha Addicts Anonymous?]
[one of the best apples I’ve had since the Fall…honeycrisps FTW!]
[Price Rite had these berries on sale for .89 cents!!! I couldn’t resist!!]
[My mom’s homemade chicken soup with sweet potatoes and kale]
[egg spinach scramble with salsa, crisps with pb and banana, eggplant parm!]
[grilled eggplant on some wasa’s]
[“pizza” rice cakes]
What I Worked:
Today definitely was an at home workout day…did not feel like heading to the gym!
Yesterday however I did spend some quality time with the elliptical and the treadmill…did some intervals on both! A few people wanted to know what I usually do for speed work on the treadmill so I thought I’d share:
30 Minute Treadmill Interval Workout
(this has helped a lot with building my speed and endurance post injury!)

I’m lovin’ grapefruit! And now I’m really craving chicken soup 🙂
I LOVE JILLIAN’S WORKOUTS!!!! I’m planning on doing one in the morning and I can’t wait! Do you like her Ripped in 30 workout? I’ve yet to try that one.
I wish we would buy grapefruits, but my mom can’t have them because they would mess with her thyroid medicine.
I like the ripped in 30 a lot for a quick dose of cardio and weights! Its a but more challenging than the 30 day shred!
OMG…. I am still chuckling at the word, “Scuffin.” I am definitely adding that to my vocabulary…. I’m assuming it’s a cross between a scone and a muffin?
You got it! LOL!
i have so much to comment on!
-i love the way you eat grapefruits.
-honeycrip apples = the best apple everrr. hands down
-.89 cents for berries?? total score!
-what’s on those pizza rice cakes? they look good 🙂
Cottage cheese, basil, and tomato paste…simple yet really yummy!
I am all for Kabocha Addicts Anonymous. But I’m not planning on ending my addiction anytime soon, that’s for sure! I also recently got some honeycrisps – reunited and it feels so goooood!!
Great job on the treadmill. That’s much faster than I could go. Way to push yourself!
Oh, and I agree – honeycrisp = winning!
yum, yum, yum-all of your food looks so good! My favorite winter foods are pumpkin, butternut squash and any delicious vegetarian chili or soup.
Greattt workout! I love intervals 😀
I really enjoy workouts like this…intervals are just the best! They get the job done in such a short amount of time 🙂
Ahhh all your eats look so good! I’m in love with your mom’s soup- it looks delicious. I have been having so much soup lately! Can’t get enough of it. Let’s hit soup rehab together!
10mph? Nice intervals!
I’d join KAA (Kabocha Addicts Anonymous) in a heartbeat. Squash are the best wintery foods ever, but I love parsnips too.
RIpped in 30 rocks, doesn’t it? I love Level 3 because it’s the hardest…for some reason level 4 seems far easier. Ripped in 30 makes the Shred look ridiculously easy. Killer Buns and Thighs Level 3 is a great workout too IMO. No wonder you look so good!

That’s so cool your mom makes a kale + chicken soup! And pizza rice cakes look delicious. Great eats girl!
Wow – your eats look fabulous (as usual) and that treadmill interval workout looks killer! I’ll definitely be using that when I renew my gym membership! 🙂
Wow Totally didn’t realize that WIAW was a blog carnival…I love seeing what other people eat, it always gives me new ideas…add a little something here and there and a new meal is born. Yum!
Your eats always look awesome for real. The treadmill interval workout looks so intense-I’m going to have to go try it out-Thanks for sharing for me girl!
I love winter foods too! Especially squash and root veggies. 😀
[…] you check out this week’s WIAW […]
I’m rebellious and eat Winter foods when it’s not Winter! Meaning curries, chillies, roasted EVERYthing, porridge… The list goes on!
I’m seriously loving grapefruits right now. SO juicy and delicious 🙂
The workout sounds great, can’t wait to try it!
Your intervals workout saved my life this morning – with my injury my body could not cope with a long run with the impact of the road but I had a go at the intervals on the treadmill and it was such a great workout. It’s very interesting how the gradual speed increases make 10mph (well, I did 10.1 just because I’m immature and wanted to ‘feel’ a sub 6-minute mile pace for a minute) feel almost okay, whereas at the beginning even 9mph felt fast. Or perhaps that’s just me being unfit 😛
Anyway, thanks ever so much for posting it and for the wonderfully thoughtful comment you left me.

No problem girl! I am glad you enjoyed it!!! And I know what ya mean about the speeds…they seem so hard at first but by the end are much easier!
