Dude, Where's My WIAW? [Link Party #19!]

As you already know, while I love you to pieces, I refuse to accept excuses.  Sometimes I'll belt one out and immediately call myself out on it.  And sometimes I'm sneaky and to drop an E-bomb regardless of my motto ;)  Such is life! When it comes to WIAW, lots of bloggers confess that they can't participate because they eat so fast they forget to photograph their meals for the day.  Noooo excuses, silly bears! <3

Forget to photograph breakfast? or lunch even? You can always try another day or even keep trucking along and try again with the next meal!  <3 Don't give up! =) I heart you guys to pieces, come party regardless!

In a pinch, a little creativity makes the world go 'round =) Here are some examples of blogs that had a little fun with the WIAW theme:

Michelle + Heather's What I Wish I Ate Wednesday

Sometimes you just have to laugh at your failed attempts and do this:

wiaw breakfast chobani
Black Coffee + Yogurt + Granola
PB+J Crackers + Raisins

Yogi Green Tea w/ Kombucha 
[a tummy tamer!]
Triple Bean + Veggie Burger w/ Mustard + JalapeƱo


Next time i'll behave and show you some actual food.  
Ya know, if you're into that sort of thing =) Haha! Without further adieu...
Happy What I Ate Wednesday!!!


Your Turn! 
I'd love to see a day in the life of you! Meals, snacks, drinks -- all that good stuff!   If you only have a meal or two to share, thats great too! 


Link back so others can get their WIAW on! 
add the WIAW button somewhere in the post you are sharing so other bloggers can join in on the fun too!  WIAW is a fabulous way to meet new friends and find new blogs to stalk ;)  What's not to love about a giant foodie look-book of meal ideas and recipe inspiration? <3

Megan said...

I think next week I oughta just take photos of before on the scale and after on the scale as an indicator of how much I ate! Hope u had a fun Memorial Day weekend Jenn!

Megan said...

lol! You're quite the creative one for switching up your what I ate post! love it :)
Could I just go take a picture of all the dirty dishes still sitting in my sink? No? Fun hater!

Oh and I suck. I don't know why my link double posted. Feel free to delete one, if you're able to. Sorry about that!

Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table said...

I love the "cleaned" plates you did! So cute... and perfect for me because I seem to always forget I was supposed to take a pic. I get too excited to eat! :)

Mine only have my dinner... but in my defense it was really good and everything else paled in comparison.

Megan said...

Awww, I loved this one!! This is usually my plate when I think about taking a picture. #fatgirl

Haha! Love you, twin!

laura said...

TOTALLY love the idea behind this link day :) if my brain is engaged at tea time I will totally take part in the later :D

jess@HealthyExposures said...

Tiffany @ Simply Shaka said...

The title of this post cracked me up!!

Indigo said...

I've seen WIAW all over the 'sphere, but as a bit of a newbie I've never joined in yet - maybe next week, it looks like so much fun!

Rissy said...

love how this WIAW was a little different! way to mix it up.

I eat PB and J on crackers sometimes... is that what you did? or am I just THAT weird? well ok don't answer that.

I adore the failed attempts. I will have some fun with that this week. That and instagram {I am so late with the instagram party}...

Back in the meal planning saddle. With 2 kids, I really do forget to photodoc it, but I hope my lil board helps give someone an idea.

Gina @ Running to the Kitchen said...

haha, funny post! :)

Maria said...

Yay! My very first submission is above. I loved taking the time to photograph and plan what I was going to eat. Usually I stick with boring meals that have little variety, so this helped me vary it up. Can't wait to participate each week.

Amanda @ .running with spoons. said...

Lol! LOVE the spin on WIAW. Definitely going to do this if I ever can't hold myself back long enough to take a pic.

Working on my post! Gonna join the party later today :D

Michelle said...

WOW! Look at all these link ups already! I love your pictures! Glad you enjoyed your food! And thank you so much for linking back to my post! I love it! Sadly, I'm not posting a WIAW today! :( Don't be upset with me! I'm taking a blogging break to get somethings in my life together. I have a few scheduled posts and will still be commenting. Hopefully I'll be back soon! Love u! XOXO

simplynutritiouskate said...

you are way too creative I love it!

Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman said...

Ha ha. That's why I don't post all of my meals regularly. I get to the end and I'm like, Oh crap!

But that dinner looks soooo good. Yum!

Bonnie said...

I don't have any excuses. I freely admit that I suck so much and forget to take pictures.
Specifically because of the sucking.
But at least I have the balls to say it.

Erin @ UntilYouTri said...

Nooooo, I'm so sad! The three-day weekend totally threw me off and I forgot today was Wednesday! Man! Am I allowed to do WIAW Thursday edition? hahaha. I love your spins on WIAW:).

Jillian said...

This is hilarious! I need to get better about taking food pics....and I also need to get better about cooking again. It's been an off 2 weeks for me. Time to get back on track! xo!

almostveggirlie said...
