Love Of Oats

A blog dedicated to balancing a healthy and fun life… with oats!

Sorry!

I apologize for the super late post!  It was a crazier (busy) day than expected, plus I got to the gym later than normal and still had to do laundry & pack for Cooperstown!

Anyway, this will be a short & sweet post…

My dinner (since we got home late – had to pick up a car from the shop!) was a pb&j sandwich with kashi and cottage cheese… I was going to make something more dinner-like, but for some reason I really wanted pb&j, probably since I haven’t had it in a few days!

After dinner, I headed to the gym for 30 minutes of cardio (15 mins elliptical + 15 mins treadmill) and 20 minutes of upper body weights + abs… It was a good tough workout!  I felt pumped & energetic when I got home, so I had all these ambitious goals of packing & stuff… After an hour of doing laundry & packing up, the tiredness has hit me… I didn’t really feel like packing anymore but unfortunately I still have to!  Oh well… to keep me going, I decided to have another mini meal… 1/8 cup bulgur w/ chocolate chips, yogurt raisins, nuts, and a drizzle of maple syrup… It didn’t really help w/ keeping me awake, if anything, my belly is full and I’m ready for bed :)

Do you all dread packing as much as me?

Wacky Wednesday

Well today appears to already be off to a good start… the sun is shining, all my schoolwork has been submitted, the birds are chirping, and I have a meeting-packed day… Plus my dad and I are doing lunch today b/c I have an all day meeting tomorrow (expect a post later tonight!)… I think today will be flying by (I hope I didn’t jinx myself)…

For breakfast this morning, I had a slice of baked oatmeal, a Morningstar patty, and two clementines… I love this meal because it is fairly well rounded… veggies, grains, fiber, protein & fruit!

My planned mid morning snack is… yogurt & Kashi… Ahh, I promise this is the last time I will be eating this combination for a while… I am obsessed with this snack, but I know I need to switch it up so I don’t bore you all ;)   For this afternoon’s snack, I have a cup of Amy’s Black Bean soup… I, at first, thought it might be weird to have soup as a snack, but I needed to use this up before it goes bad, since I won’t have a chance to eat it from tomorrow (work lunch) on… plus I’m trying to think outside of the box w/ snacks & meals :D

Hope you have a chipper, sunshine-y Wednesday… and for those of you finishing up schoolwork & finals,  good luck!
