Love Of Oats

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

I’m In Heaven…

All because of this guy…

I used to be madly obsessed with this drink, Starbucks’ Unsweetened Iced Tazo Green Tea, and as I would leave the gym every night last summer, I’d make a quick stop to Starbucks and grab one… however I realized it was a costly addiction, so I stopped and resorted to using the Tazo Zen tea bags to brew my own… But today, since I had to run to Target (w/ a SB inside) and wasn’t feeling so hot, I decided to treat myself… my headache isn’t gone, but drinking this is helping me to forget about it :)

I also had a yummy salad prepared from home which contained about a cup of baby spinach, a handful of chopped baby carrots, crushed walnuts, 1/4 cup of black beans, 2 hardboiled egg whites (thanks Mom!)… Post-picture, I drizzled a mixture of 2 tbsp red wine vinegar + 1 tbsp olive oil on top…

And for dessert, a peach, but sadly it was not a donut peach… still juicy though!

I had more snacks planned as part of my lunch but my appetite isn’t as large as I expected it to be today! I WILL be having my daily dose of old-fashioned oats (cooked in the microwave, of course!) though, mid afternoon…

PS. I’m also periodically pressing my pressure points and it’s definitely helping to relieve some of the pressure thanks to AllVeggedOut!
