Yay, it’s Friday!

This morning I had 2 pieces of toast for BREAKFAST.  One buttered and one with peanut butter.  I’m finding myself completely in love with toast.

Yesterday I had lunch with a sweet friend – we’d been meaning to catch up for a while.  We had Japanese and I got the vegetable hibachi.  I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture.  Question for my veggie freinds out there.  I was served the onion soup.  At first I didn’t think anything about eating it.  Honestly, I’m not a fan of it but I was thinking it might be healthy for me.  Then I realized it was brothy and a lot of broths are made with chicken.  I asked the waitress and she said it wasn’t.  I still didn’t finish it though because I felt wierd eating it.  Do you know how they typically make onion soup at Japanese restaurants?

Sometimes when I get bored at work, Nick experiences some cheesy texts.  I sent him this yesterday in the middle of work and I loved the way he responded!  He’s not the mushy type haha, but he caught all of my kisses!

When I got home from work, I folded some clothes and then headed out for biblestudy.  We discussed being ready for marriage and like usual, we digressed pretty heavily.  It was such an empowering time though!  I love how these girls came together – as it was mentioned last night, we’re all SO different.  I wouldn’t have picked out these girls from a lineup to be in my biblestudy group, but God knew better than I did that this was the place for me.  I just love our time together on Thursday nights.  I enjoyed some Chamomile Citrus Tea & a Monster Cookie {that I got for FREE!}

Do not be fooled.  I ate the entire cookie last night.

WordPress is hard, y’all.  People love it and I’m really trying to!  I cannot figure out my comments though.  I’m trying to make it where I can reply back via e-mail to the comments you leave me.  That’s what I loved so much about blogger.  I feel like there was real interaction there.  I have these plugins installed that are suppose to make me do that, but I’ve been testing it with various e-mail accounts I have and I’m not receiving any responses when I reply.  I just ask that you bear with me, I am seeing your comments and I love reading them and I apologize that I haven’t been as great with responding to them like I was when I had a blogger blog.  If you’re a WordPress user and have any input for me, I’d greatly appreciate it!  I’m using CommentLuv, but also trying the Email to reply comment plugin and I’m just not sure why it’s not responding how it should unless it has to do with the theme and template I chose.

Hopefully I’ll get a lot of issues resolved this weekend when I have more time to work on it.

Mix-matched Oatmeal

 

Hey There!

For some reason, I was super tired this morning!  I didn’t wake up for a run like I wanted to.  On my way to work this morning I enjoyed a cup of coffee.  I usually have a safer option, with a to-go lid and all, but I didn’t want much this morning (I’m trying to cut back! *gasp*) so I figured the half cup would do.

I realized at about 10am, that I may  not be able to eat much later in the day.  I went to the dentist about a month ago now that I have all my health, dental, & vision insurance with this new job.  I knew I had some things to take care of immediately.  The first were 4 areas that needed fillings.  We scheduled the first 2 for today.  I was worried how my mouth would feel afterwards.  I enjoyed a Kashi Go Lean Hot Cereal right before I left the office.  When I’m at work, this is how I eat any type of oatmeal or cereal.

Classy, I know!  I typically like my oatmeal to be more watery than most people.  I promise, I found it to be delicious!  I had my dentist appt. at 11am, but found myself extremely hungry afterwards (go figure!) and I thought sipping food through a straw is probably my best bet.  I opted for Smoothie King!  Not gonna lie, sipping through a straw was a little more challenging than I expected with a numb mouth!  I kept hitting my teeth with the straw when I would put it in my mouth.

Tonight’s DINNER was actually oatmeal…. I’m in somewhat of a food rut – I’m pretty much just eating what I have on hand (which isn’t much of anything!).  I tried to spruce it up a bit though and it turned out pretty good!

Ingredients:

  • Oatmeal
  • Milk
  • Walnuts
  • Flax Seed
  • Peanut Butter
  • A drizzle of Agave Nectar

I guess you could call this mix-matched oatmeal because I just threw what I had on hand in there.  Some other great options would be other types of nuts, dried fruit, other additives like wheat germ, greek yogurt, chocolate chips, and gosh… that list could go on and on!

Once my food settled, I chose to do a bike ride for my WORKOUT today.  I haven’t ridden my bike since the Tour De Cure race I did on May 10th!  It was nice to get back on the trail and enjoy the wind in my face.  I was a little sore, so I didn’t push myself really hard, I just enjoyed the ride.

I’m so glad we have these nifty water fountains in the area!!  They’re freeze proof too!  I forgot to load up some water in my bike before I left the house so I stopped at each one that I passed to stay hydrated!  I also love this time of day when the sun sets!

  • Any delicious suggestions to get my out of my food rut? (For one person, please!)
  • Do you have any of these nifty freeze proof water fountains where you’re at?  How do you like them?

HIIT workout & hair

Today was a long day at work!  I was happy to see 4:30 roll around so I could change into my WORKOUT clothes and head to the gym.  I realized right before heading out that I was a little hungry and I’m NOT okay with working out on a hungry stomach!  I scavenged through my desk drawers and thank goodness I found a small amount of granola left over!  I downed that and some water on the way to the gym.

I arrived to the gym and was going to a HIIT class which is high intensity interval training (at least that’s what I abbreviate it to be).  It’s a high energy, fun class and I really enjoy the instructor (who is also named Heather!)  The craziest thing happened – I was the ONLY person in the class.  Seriously, that’s never happened!  Usually I would feel really awkward, but I went with it and we started the class.  Luckily, one girl came in 10 minutes in and another girl came in about half-way through the class.  Am I the only one who doesn’t like coming in late to a class?  If it’s started, I just won’t go!  I need to get over that awkward fear though!  After HIIT, I finished up with a 15 minute ab class.

I really like my hair pulled back this way with a side french-braid.  It keep it out of my face when I run or workout.

After the gym, I headed home for some DINNER.  I made some pasta w/ vegetarian chicken.  It wasn’t anything fancy, but typically a quick pasta gets the job done for me.  I used Whole Foods Pasta (that I got on the Whole Foods Grand Opening Tour), Kroger brand Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce, and Simple Truth Meatless Patties w/ a side of toast.

Now I’m off to check out some new blogs – I feel like I lost touch of that this past year and I’m ready to find some new reads and make some new friends!! Have any suggestions, let me know!

Have a great Tuesday evening!
