I was not feeling so hot a little while ago… I definitely overdid it… I had some wheat crackers with this awesome buffalo dip, a sugar cookie and a slice of this pumpkin roll at the demonstration and I think from not having heavy amounts of sugar the last few days, it is really hitting me hard today… I feel like I am in a sugar-induced coma! My mom is also pretty stuffed so we called off the idea of having a big dinner and decided to have breakfast-like foods instead… they had eggs & homefries but I decided to stick with my favorite comfort food: oatmeal… I am not really balanced on food groups today, but whatever, it’s Sunday… I made my oats w/ some flax seed, walnuts (hiding in the picture), and about a 1/4 cup of applesauce… I never had this combination but it was pretty good! I wish you could smell how good the cinnamon-apple’y combination was, but unfortunately, that technology has not yet been created haha…

On the plus side, I’ve been in my pjs working on homework for the last few hours and finally got my slides for school done… I also drank TONS of water which helped (in my mind) to flush out the sugar (note this is only my silly belief)… I plan on veggin’ out the rest of the night w/ the parents… Plus Oprah’s big give is on tonight
I am not a huge fan of Oprah but I LOOOOVE this show, it’s amazing the changes people have made to other people’s lives! Hopefully you all had a great weekend and are preparing for another work/school week!


MMmmmm.. oatmeal is the best! And to have it for dinner, too! Lucky you!
Maybe you could have a piece of fruit with your oatmeal in the morning? I am so similar to you, and a great start to Monday morning really can make up for the weekend.
Feel better!
Sounds like you had a nice weekend! Yay! I hope your Monday morning starts off great! Have a good night!
I love having oatmeal for dinner sometimes. It is such a comfort food. It is good to see that someone else enjoys oatmeal every once in a while for dinner. Also, it is ok not to be balanced every day – we are not all perfect right? I think we forget sometimes that we could be much worse – say eating fast food and greasy chineese food often – having a donut – the list goes on of course. I think that when we are SO good all the time we forget that one day of something that is actually not so bad – is the WORST thing ever.
Good night
Ashley ~ Great idea, fruit always makes me feel refreshed!!
Chandra ~ Yeah it was a nice weekend! Thanks, I hope yours is great too!
Kat ~ You make a fantastic point… I guess because we all eat good 99% of the time, when we slip up, it’s really not that bad!!! Thanks for your great insight
