What I Ate Wednesday

Wow, I FINALLY remembered to take pictures of everything I ate for one entire day. Doesn’t sound that hard, but I sure as heck couldn’t remember for the life of me.

Ready to see everything I ate yesterday? Of course you are! Let’s go …

Breakfast: One egg hardboiled in my neato microwave contraption, one English Muffin with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, orange juice, and de-caf tea (with skim milk) in my special mug (which was painted by Best Friend as a Christmas gift about a thousand years ago)
Lunch: Homemade pita chips, salsa, garlic hummus, and a mix of tomatoes, green peppers, red peppers, and green onions. I like to put some hummus on a chip, scoop up vegetables, and the dip in salsa. It’s a messy but delicious process.
Afternoon snack: Green apple slices, four pieces of melba toast spread with two wedges of Laughing Cow Light cheese (two of my obsessions I blogged about last week)
Dinner: Quesadilas made from two small whole-wheat tortillas, chicken, corn, tomatoes, green peppers, red peppers, green onion, salsa, and 20 grams of marble cheese. Served with salsa and tbsp. sour cream. Mmmmmm.

  1. Did you always like all of those things or have you learned to like them through your weight loss challenge?

  2. Good question! I always liked the breakfast foods and dinner food, but that is DEFINITELY not a lunch I would have ever eaten before joining Weight Watchers. Now I love hummus and pita chips, and I eat peppers way more often than I did before. Oh, and the Laughing Cow cheese and melba toast are also brand-new foods for me (that I now eat just about every day).

  4. Hmmm, those are definitely the biggies. I've been eating a LOT of salsa and bell peppers, and basically every dinner I make is vaguely Mexican (so I can add salsa, haha). I think I need to start branching out more!

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m journalist and blogger in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have an 8-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep it from taking over my life. Making things isn’t just a hobby — it’s part of what keeps me alive.

Whether I’m decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes for my kids, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

Yesterday’s blog post also included details on how I made this ENORMOUS piece of wall art with 704 teeny fabric squares. . . . Unlike the other piece (in my last Insta pic) this one DOES require sewing. It’s a great way to use up fabric scraps. . . . #linkinbio #sewing #wallart #fabric #fabricart #quilting #quiltsofinstagram #postagestampquilt #rainbow #color #colours Today on the blog I’m revealing how I made two HUGE pieces of fabric wall art — and only one of them required any sewing (not this one). . . . #DIY #fabric #wallart #fabricwallart #kona #robertkaufman #robertkaufmanfabrics #handmade #diyhomedecor #ecmmedia Did you catch my post from the other day about my DIY dog seat belt? @annabellenessa is snuggled up in it right now, happy as can be — even though she has permanent bitchy resting face! 😉 . . . Full details over on the blog! Did I mention there’s NO sewing required? It’s a two-second project. . . . #dogs #DIY #dogseatbelt #ridingincarswithdogs #doglove #bostonterrier #chocolatebostonterrier #ilovemydog #diydog #ecmmedia Talk about a blast from the past! Want to see the DIY airplane-themed nursery I decorated for D back in 2010? We're talking BEFORE PINTEREST, you guys! . . . Pop over to the blog and search “airplane nursery” for every detail. . . . ✈️ ✈️ ✈️ . . . I remember decorating this room so clearly! It was a tiny room in our Bedford condo, and he didn't have closet (or a dresser, at first) because it was stuffed with all of my craft and sewing supplies. . . . Oh, how excited I was to be painting clouds on the walls and sewing crib bedding for my soon-to-be-born little guy! Hope you enjoy the tour of his first bedroom! xo . . . #nursery #DIY #DIYnursery #babyboy #airplanes #airlinefamily #handmade #sewing #homedecor #nurserydecor #nurseryinspo #babyboy It drives my husband crazy that I always save my wood scraps — er, just like I save my fabric scraps — because I know I can use them for something. But then I mostly ... don’t. . . . I had an awesome idea for a wood scrap project recently and started by chopping the scraps into specific dimensions. (Anything leftover — too small to saw without also sawing off my fingers — went to my friend who has a wood stove!) . . . Here’s one of THREE bins of neatly chopped scraps. Who can guess what I’m going to make them with? 😜 . . . #sneakpeek #woodworking #woodscraps #reuse #DIY #ecmmedia #handmade Finally got around to sort of hanging my first oil painting! 🍋 My husband thinks he’s pretty funny because he spins it around daily and leaves it upside down until I notice 🍋 . . . #handmade #oilpainting #stilllife #lemons #chalkboard
