Oats to Go

Guten Morning!

Hope everyone had a fab night! I went to a friends' place for a BBQ (again) last night, although obviously I forgot my camera at home.

Mega fail.

Anywho, it was pretty laid back, chicken burgers were cooked, fresh garden veggies were eaten, jokes were said, beers were passed. All in all, a good way to spend the night :)


Oats to Go


I was running a bit behind schedule this morning - even more than usual - so I threw some oats together and brought them to work with me to heat up. They were perfection!

 
Mixed with some banana and natural peanut butter....the best way to start the day! Made my daily email catch-up much more delicious than usual ;)


I also didn't give myself enough time to make my usual salad beast, so I put this bad boy together for my lunch today.


Strong cheddar cheese, veggie paté and lettuce. Easy peasy.



Love this stuff.



And then gave Kit a nice pet goodbye. He has a small window of time during the morning where a pet doesn't end up with a bite or scratch, so I try to take advantage of this as much as possible ;)

Have a great day! I'm planning on staying in town tonight at a friend's place...should be wild times!!

Cloudy Monday

Hi friends, hope your mornings have been going well :)

It was a busy day at work today, lots of meetings and tasks to be tackled. Good thing I started it off right.

Breakfast


I had a solid bowl of oatmeal this morning with flax seed and blueberries. I didn’t realize that I was out of almond milk, so I had to use…real milk. Bleh. I don’t know what it is, but I just don’t like the taste of cow’s milk, or thinking of the fact that I’m drinking cow’s milk. Double bleh.


I realized that almond milk is clearly much sweeter than cow’s milk, since the blueberries made it just sweet enough. I clearly wasn’t thinking straight when I did my grocery haul on Sunday. I hate making extra trips back to the grocery store, but will have to make an exception in this case!

Lunch


I brought a big salad beast with some BBQ’d trout. Such a treat!


I put the piece of trout on a bed of garden lettuce and local organic kale (since mine refused to grow this year. Frustration).


I find it’s a bit overwhelming having a pure kale salad, but having some other leafy greens in there to balance it out works lovely!

Cloudy Monday


It’s a bit of a blah day out today, but I decided to brave the clouds (rain clouds? Who knows…) and go for a walk at lunch. It was nice and fresh, and gave me a chance to unwind a bit.


Not even the fountain was going. Sad trombone.


Love me my (almost) daily lunch walks/runs during the week! I find that I am that much more productive when I return to work. 


There were ridiculously cute kids chasing the Canadian geese around the park down by the water, but I didn't take a picture. Because that would make me a creeper. Instead, I acted like a tourist and snapped pics of the geese....


 As for my workout tonight, I haven’t done a bodyrock/toneitup workout for a while, so I am going to bust this one out to do a little bit of fine toning tonight.

I'm not American, so this may seem like a strange choice but it looks like a solid workout! 

Do you have any workout plans for tonight? Or is it your rest day?
