My mom said when I was little I used to love all orange foods…sweet potatoes, carrots and pumpkin! Well, I haven’t changed at all in this aspect!
Too bad my mom didn’t know about pumpkin oats when I was a kid – I would have gobbled it up! In the bowl: 1/3c oats, water, soy milk, vanilla, stevia, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin and chia seeds. I added some brown sugar after the pic. I’m curious how this bowl is going to keep me full since I didn’t add any nut butter. We’ll see. 
Day 2 of the Beck workbook had me choose a diet. I am going with trying to be aware of calories and portions and aiming to break it down like this:
B: 400
S: 200
L: 500
S: 200
D: 500
Bad News!!! I can’t run the Sun Trust Half after all 🙁 I just realized it is the same weekend as the Fitbloggin conference and I’m already signed up for that!
Saturday’s forecast is super cold and calls for snow 🙁 I have an outside run planned, but am not looking forward to it…
25°F
Feels Like
16°F
Now I’m off to Kickboxing, see you in a bit!
Ohhhh… Too bad about the marathon. But we have to keep our priorities and engagements in check. No way around it.
I LOVE pumpkin oats. Makes me wish I would have made some this morning.
I like orange food, too. I just discovered pumpkin oats, but I have to be careful not to add too much pumpkin, or it’s too gourdy for my tastes. It’s kind of odd because I love all forms of squash.
Too bad about the half; the Fitbloggin conference is a good excuse, though.
If you’re looking for another (somewhat local) half marathon to participate in, there is the Marine Corps Historic Half in May. I think it’s May 16 in Fredericksburg, VA. I was going to run in it, but my husband is deploying and I don’t have anyone to watch our daughter.
Just a thought.
i love me some sweet potatoes. learning to love pumpkin though…
I want to love pumpkin oats but for some reason mine always turn out pretty bland and underwhelming! This morning though I had CHOCOLATE oats! It was fantastic! Highly recommend it!
maybe that’s why you have such pretty orange hair 🙂
diet? I t hought you were trying to eat intuitively? haven’t read in a while so maybe I missed something?
You are DA BOMB for going out running in that weather – seriously! I would struggle – I prefer the treadmill on super cold days like that.
Orange foods are truly the best.
Psht. I’d rather be fit blogging than running a half, anyway
mmmm pumpkin oats look great!
I can’t believe it’s going to be that cold! I would struggle with running in that kind of weather!
I love orange stuff too – squash and sweet potato!! Best foods ever 🙂
*shiver* and i’ve never had pumpkin oats before. i keep saying i’m going to try them buuuuuuut i never do haha
I used to dislike orange foods but now I love them! Oats without nut butters are never as filling for me!
I can’t believe how cold it will be tomorrow! Remember when it was nice and warm on Monday? Where did that go?! 🙂
Pumpkin oats are my all time favorite. Too bad we have a pumpkin shortage here 🙁
everytime i try and make pumpkin oats, mine never look (or taste) that delicious .. what are your proportions of the ingredients?
um the fact u are even attempting to run in 25 degrees is insane. good luck dollface! thats colddddd! ur a better runner than I 🙂
xoxo
lolo
Jessica – my oats have oats, a whole banana, soy milk and sugar. It often is 400 calories. I didn’t count it up for today, but also didn’t add in the handful of blubes I ate while cooking 🙂
Booo for cold weather! The pumpkin oats look great though 🙂
That’s too bad about the half 🙁
Oatmeal without nut butter doesn’t really keep me full longer than 2 hours… usually. And is that really 400 calories?
