My cat knocked over a half full paint can in the wash closet and I have a massive mess to clean up, so this is going to be short and sweet 
I woke up thinking about food so I wanted a stick-to-your-ribs breakfast. Oatmeal was the natural choice. In the mix: banana, oatmeal, chia seeds, salt, cinnamon, almond milk. Toppings: cereal and almond butter
I think I prefer oatmeal as an afternoon snack (it’s been too long since I’ve done that), but I’m not in love with it for breakfast unless it’s cooked by someone else. Random. But, if I cook oatmeal for Ben I want to eat it.
After breakfast I went to yoga to s-t-r-e-t-c-h my muscles. I don’t spend enough time stretching and I want to bounce back fast from the half marathon yesterday.
I picked up some groceries from TJ’s post yoga. I got these for Ben’s lunches, but ended up getting into them on the way home. They’re too good!
Lunch was spaghetti squash and salad.
Ben tried the spaghetti squash yesterday and thought it was the weirdest thing. He yelled, “That’s not spaghetti!!!” and I couldn’t stop laughing.
I added a chopped veggie burger for protein.
We still have those homemade chocolate chip cookies and I had 2 for dessert. I wish I could avoid them because I think Ben doubled the butter in the recipe (based on how much butter was left after my trip!).
Monday Mini-Goals:
1. Strength training 2 times this week and 2 hard runs
2. Keep track of eats without making any changes for Nutrition class.
3. Organize school work and Home mail/bills/papers
Question: Do you have any Monday Mini-Goals?
COOKIES!
Today’s goal is to get to bed earlier than I have been! The sleep schedule is way off!
I’m loving my gluten-free oats. I had no idea what I was going to eat when the doctor said my tests indicated celiac. Bob’s Red Mill has so many gluten-free products, it made me feel better!
I love oatmeal in the mornings, it starts my day in the perfect way. i’m still perfecting it currently.
Bahahah I love Ben’s response. I feel like my Ben would say the same thing!
That’s funny because I only like oatmeal made by me. Anything made by another is just not the same.
Double the butter = double the deliciousness right?
The cat was obviously punishing you for some unknown misdeed. Did change food? 😉
My Monday mini-goals: 2 yoga days (20 minutes counts!) and three good runs (3+ miles); plan meals for the week so I don’t end up eating too much frozen pizza!
I would love to know how you cooked the spaghetti squash? I have been wanting to try it so bad! and the easiest way to cook tofu!
I’m a newbie to trying the healthy eating and I love your blog!
hahah i know how you feel about certain foods tasting better when prepped by someone else!
Hopefully none of the paint got on your cat! It’s bad enough that you have to clean up paint 🙁
Mini-goals: 1. get over this cold; 2. take out trash before it’s overflowing (yeah, sometimes that happens — I’m human… and busy); and 3. pay attention to the hunger cravings to see if I can lay off the sugar.
“That’s not spaghetti!!” LOL I’m dying over here! That’s exactly what my husband would say! He would not be pleased with me.
I meant to comment on the original post, but wanted to tell you congrats on the half marathon. Your running recaps are one of the many reasons I read your blog.
ugh you have to clean paint? I’m sorry! That sucks!
I want homemade chocolate chip cookies. I just know that once I start eating them, I won’t be able to stop!
Mini goals: Strength training 2x this week. Run 4x this week. Do my homework instead of reading blogs all day. 🙂
Today my goal is to NOT fall asleep at my desk. And to not eat ALL of the tootsie rolls staring at me.
