The theme of today is quick and easy. I had 5 minutes to make and eat breakfast so I threw cereal, chia seeds and almond butter on top of what remained in my pinapple cottage cheese container. I actually love this combination and plan of getting more pineapple cottage cheese asap!
Served with iced coffee. I actually made coffee last night so it would already be cold and ready for drinking this morning. Quick and easy!
Run: This morning I did a quick and easy 4 miler before school. I hope to get in some abs tonight after work as that’s one of my weekly goals.
I’m also quick and easy 😉 Not in that way. My quick and easy beauty routine – face lotion and a headband. Who needs makeup or hair brushes? Not this girl.
Then, I rushed off to school where I took a test that was neither quick nor easy. And I have another one tomorrow. I think I’m growing an ulcer in my tummy, which I might have to buy metronidazole for. I hope this doesn’t affect my quick and easy bathroom breaks.
At lunch time I found myself on the way to work without a packed lunch. Not okay. Luckily I dug the Subway gift card I scored from the Healthy Living Summit out the depths of my purse and used it. Since it’s a gift card it doesn’t break the “No eating out in Sept” rule. Boo-ya.
I ordered a tuna foot-long on their new Omega-3 bread. This bread is completely covered in little grains and I loved every bite. I would definitely order this again.
I asked the sandwich artist to give me 3 scoops of tuna instead of the usual 4 spread over the foot-long to lighten it up a bit. I love tuna, but don’t love the calorie count. Rather than order something I don’t want, I order my favorite and make small tweaks 🙂
On the side I had chips and carrots. I didn’t mean to eat the chips, but this is a new flavor and I ended up really liking it!
Now I have work until 6pm then homework time. Hopefully it will all be over quickly and easily so I can get back to blogging 🙂
Quick and Easy Question: Chocolate or Vanilla?
Amber K says
Quick and Easy : Vanilla
More complicated : I do love chocolate, just not chocolate-flavored things, so vanilla will always win in that department.
marie says
CHOCOLATE!!! The darker the better!!!
@irun2befit says
Oh cool, I didn’t know Subway had a new type of bread! Sounds really good. Thanks for the post!
Michelle @ Chasing Ambulances says
Vanilla!
I didn’t know Subway had a new kind of bread. Cool
Becky says
That new Baked Lays flavor is my fav. It seems I only ever have it at Subway.
Vanilla!
ashleigh says
Chocolate all of the way!!
I always make a big pot of coffee and put it in the fridge all week.. easy and saves me money!

Melissa @ TryingToHeal says

It was in the swag bag, maybe you missed it? Happy Birthday!!!!
Maria (realfitmama) says
I love that you said “instead of getting something I don’t want I get what I want and tweak it” because that’s what I do with things like guacamole. I LOVE IT! I know it’s “good” fat, but too much is too much good or bad. So I order the guac – then wrap half in a plastic container to take home, freeze and enjoy later. Then I go on about enjoying the smaller amount right when I wanted it. 🙂

runeatrepeat says
I knew you would pick vanilla 🙂
Tiffany (Stuffed with Fluff) says
I’m actually not a HUGE fan of chocolate, so let’s go with vanilla =)
Lisa says
Chocolate!
I love Subway. I never feel guilty eating at Subway.
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
Chocolate!
I love that flavor of baked lays too – i just tried it from my HLS gift certificate as well!
Stephanie @ The Cookie Battle says
In ALL instances…mixing them together is always the best option! (Marble cake, choco vanilla soft serve twist, vanilla charleston chew, etc.)
alison says
I should try the quick and easy approach. It seems like I always complicate things.
As much as I love chocolate in candy form, I actually prefer vanilla in most other applications. Vanilla milkshakes, vanilla pudding, vanilla ice cream, vanilla protein powder.
runeatrepeat says
Alison, this answer is too complicated 🙂
