Hello and Happy Wednesday! Last night I packed up my running gear to take with me to boot camp. When it was over I strapped on my Garmin and explored the area for 5 miles.
The boot camp is at a school in a near-by city. It’s all new home development and shopping centers. Everything looks exactly the same, so it was confusing, but I made it back.
It has been warm all week and then this morning it was COLD! I was freezing for most of my run and rushed home for a warm breakfast. I decided to make hot oats to warm me up from the inside.
In the mix: Coach’s oats, water, salt, pumpkin, chia seeds, stevia, greek yogurt and pumpkin pie spice. 
I also got a shipment of Somersaults yesterday! Since I don’t have any “real” granola I used these at a topping – delicious! I love the light sweetness and texture of this Cinnamon Crunch flavor.
I also added dried apples, PB and pumpkin butter on top. Don’t stop until you add some top. ings!
Unfortunately, every.single.time I have oats with PB it makes me nauseous. It kinda always has (I remember the first time I ate this combo at my college part time job! My office mate and I discussed it in length – Hi Yvette!). Maybe that’s why I say I don’t like oats anymore? (Maybe I’m more self aware now and would rather not deal with it?) Anyways, eggs will be back tomorrow. I’m sorry I ditched them.
Okay, I have an appointment then a ton of work to catch up on!!!
Question: Would you rather be cold, tired or hungry?
I guess tired. Not much of a fun game, huh.
You dont like nut butter with your oats??? What kind of blogger are you ;)!! I think I would rather be tired- sleep is never a bad thing! Hunger just turns me into a b1tch and cold makes me whiny!
omg – i LOVE somersaults!!! my mom sent me a sample from her swag bag from nwm this october and they were delicious! i want a whole box of them … yum!
Tired my is downfall. I get sooo cranky, a special kind of cranky that only happens when I’m sleep deprived. People around me say it is the worst. Ha.
I think im with you on that. I’d rather be tired.
Gosh, that’s a tough question, but I would pick tired. I hate being hungry cause I get mean and weak due to low blod suagr, but being cold is the worst of all!!! I’d rather be tired and hungry at the same time than be cold!
I’d rather be tired. Being hungry is miserable & makes me feel nauseous. Being cold makes me want to cry. But being tired is just an excellent excuse to curl up and watch TV. Perfect.
Also, when you said that it was cold out, I looked at your outfit and thought “Holy cow she must have been freezing–she’s wearing a t-shirt!” And then I remembered that you’re in California (not upstate NY like me, haha)…ahhh, the relativity of cold.
I am a huge fan of those Somersaults, although my Whole Foods doesn’t carry the cinnamon ones…yum!! So far I’ve tried the plain sea salt ones (a perfect snack in between breakfast and lunch) and the chocolate ones (makes a good post-dinner I-need-something-chocolate-and-crunchy treat). My store also carries a cracked pepper flavor and a spicy salsa-type one, but I haven’t tried those varieties yet.
The *only* time I like to be cold is when I’m running, because that makes me run faster. I’ll take tired over the other two any day
I would totally take being cold over being tired or hungry. I feel like I could combat being cold, but the other two make me totally miserable.
I’m the same way–hot oats and pb make me feel so sick! What I find bizarre though is that overnight oats with pb are fine…
Anyway, I’d definitely rather be tired. I get so cranky when I’m hungry and I hate being cold!
I’m an eggs in the morning girl. Every once in awhile I fall of the wagon and go with oats but I always come back!
I think I would rather be tired, it’s kinda a natural state for me anyway. 🙂
I’d so rather be tired. Hungry makes me insane and cold makes my brain stop working.
I’m a big fan of oatmeal, but if it gets clumpy at all, I’m out.
Oh. I woul SO choose “tired.” That doesn’t really bother me. Cold –> drives me crazy!!!! Hungry —-> drives people around me crazy because I’m mad cranky! Lol.
Eggs and cheese always make me nauseous. I thought it was the dairy on dairy but now just eggs make me nauseous which stinks because I love eggs. The only thing I can get away with is hard boiled eggs. But I love to make chocolate peanut butter oatmeal! Soo yummy (for me anyways lol).
Your dislike of oats is refreshing. I don’t care how many fresh ingredients I pile in them, Bleh. I always want eggs and hot sauce! Dunno how all these bloggers eat oats every dang morning!
I guess tired since I’m super cranky when hungry, and cease to function when cold. Btw since you were on a choco chip cookie quest earlier- Consumer Reports gave Tate’s Bake Shop chocolate chip cookies the highest rating in a recent taste test
Where is Tate’s?
Southampton, NY but they sell them online http://www.tatesbakeshop.com/
SOMEONE please send Monica Mockingjay! I would, but it is on my Kindle.
I would have to say cold I think. But then I wouldn’t be able to sleep and then I would be cold AND tired. But tired and hungry both make me cranky. Cold not so much.

YES! This is my favorite comment of the day 🙂
I’ve been tired for the last 3 years…so I’m pretty used to it. HATE being cold and who would ever pick hungry!?
Lindsay, thanks for warning me not to have kids. At least that’s how I read this comment 😉
Tired for me too…I turn into a beast when I am cold (I need to move to cali) or hungry. Great run, I love running in new places even though I always end up lost. PS I FINALLY emailed you….dang I suck at email.
Pumpkin oats make me SUPER full – almost to the point of feeling sick but I keep coming back for more. Can’t stop, won’t stop!
Definitely tired. I hate being cold as much as I hate being hot. The temperature seems to have a huge effect on me. Besides, what better reason to chill on the couch catching up with my DVR than a tired day. Okay…maybe not 😉
I think im going to say cold…
I am not a fan of oats..how I try though.
I went out this morning and ran until my Garmin said 4. It was 28 when I started and 34 when I was done. However you ran your 5 in less time than it took me to run 4. LOL I am slow.
No, you’re faster than me in that weather! Because I would have frozen solid and not moved at all.
I just kept telling myself, the faster I am done the faster it is time for coffee.
I would rather be cold. Years of figure skating have made me immune.
Is that a painting of a kid kicking a ball on the parking lot? If so, that’s a pretty odd place for it…
I usually always end up being cold, tired and hungry all at the same time. Being hungry leads to me being tired. And being tired makes me cold. So I guess maybe I’d just rather be plain old cold (which I always am anyway, living in the freeeezing mountains).
I agree tired. I am always cold anyways and well being hungry just plain sucks 😉
Tired. I get mean when I’m hungry and I absolutely hate the cold.
I wouldn’t want to be any of those. Tired I guess if I had to choose.
That’s weird about oats making you nauseous but I kind of get the same effect when I eat eggs early in the morning.
Oddly, that makes me feel less weird.
I think I would want to be cold. I hate being tired and hungry. I hate being cold too, but the least of the three.
I love oatmeal and pb, but just not together, so I would probably get nauseous too!
I hate being all three!! My boyfriend always ask the question when I am being mean, ” are you hungry, cold, tired or have to pee?” So not the best qualitites! My number one tho is cold. I hate being cold. HATE being cold!!
I forgot about having to pee – that is the worst!!!
haha. YES! that was the missing one! I love it!
