Love Of Oats

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

TGIF!  Woo woo :)   It’s a happy happy day because it’s Friday!

I started out with a veggie fruit smoothie, I’d call it a green monster but it came out way more pink since I went heavy on the strawberries today!  It contained frozen spinach, almond breeze, carrots, strawberries, 1/2 banana, flax, and ice.  Yum!

Mid-morning, I cooked one of these delicious Nature’s Path Organic Hot Oatmeal Flax Plus with some hot water and was in pure heaven.  Oh my, this oatmeal is just TOOOOOO good!  It’s sweet but not too sweet and is quite tasty AND filling, plus the all natural ingredient list ain’t too shabby, either!

Lunch was a continuation of last night’s dinner and an orange.

It tasted just as good this time around :)   Although it didn’t fill me up at all, probably because I got in day 3, week 2 of my C25K running plan so I guess I worked up an appetite (I logged 2.35 mi in 32 minutes).  So, I dug into my handy lunchbag and pulled out this Dr. Weil bar that Gliding Calm gave me.  I was kind of skeptical given my experience with the Yotta bar yesterday, but luckily this bar was awesome.  It totally reminded me of the inside of a fruity fig newton.  Definitely recommend it :)

When I got home from work, I was hungry so I just had a quick snack of graham crackers & chunky peanut butter.

I’m kind of full now but hope that it goes away because I want to have an appetite for our dinner tonight.

Guess where Bill and I are going?  MOE’S.

I’m sure you’ve heard this before because I know I’ve blogged about it lots and lots.  Moe’s is probably my favorite semi-fast food place (yes it beats Panera) and it holds a special place in our hearts because that is where Bill and I went a lot when we first started dating since it was near our work at the time.  The last time we were there was the day after we got married (on the way home from the shore!) so it’s been almost 6 months :)   Bill asked me the other day if we could have a date with Moe tonight, and I happily obliged!  Ok well I’m off to get some little errands done and then it’s off to dinner!  Have a fun Friday night :)

PS.  Maggie is having a great giveaway – beautiful earrings!

PSS. It’s Erica’s blog birthday and she’s giving away a loaf of this amazing cinnamon bread.  We all know how I love cinnamon!

PSS.  FoodsThatFit is giving away an awesome giveaway to celebrate her new blog.

OK – I’m done :)

    Those graham crackers & pb look great right about now. I haven’t had graham crackers in ages. I love them with nutella on them as well. Or with vanilla pudding :)
