Tomorrow is Friday.  Where did the week go?!  I love when that happens.  Disappearing weeks should be mandatory for all federal government employees.  And for everybody.

I Eat

Oats in a jar should also be a mandatory breakfast every single Wednesday.  Too bad the lighting wasn’t agreeing with my camera – most of the shots didn’t turn out.

Believe me when I say this jar was loaded with oat bran and t-mix toppings.  Of course, there was a ridiculous amount of peanut butter consumed, too.  I think that might just be the secret to having a good hump day: eat excessive nut butter.

Today’s oats were way more photogenic.  They must have seen ANTM last night.

This was 1/2 c. oat bran + 1/2 c. almond milk + 1 c. water + 1/2 nan + cinnamon + almond slices + pumpkin seeds + flax + peanut butter + cinnamon.

I love you.

The infamous Crate and Barrel spoon that shows up in oat bowls around the blogosphere is great because it’s small, which makes Oat Devourers slow down the devouring process.  However, it lacks a sharp edge.  That means I can’t scrape every last ounce of yum out of my bowl, which leads me to consider licking the bowl. 

This, friends, is one of the joys of being a single girl and eating breakfast in solitude.

Last night’s supper was kind of lacking in, I don’t know, a lot.  I took a chicken breast and covered it with some dijon + rosemary + salt n pepa and baked it, paired it with some mashed taters (eeee! yum) and steamed carrots, and declared it dinner.

And no, this is not a full sized dinner plate – I like the taters, but not that much.

The rest of the chicken + tato leftovers were lunch at work today.

Up close and personal with the rosemary.

I turned into a munch face after and snacked the night away!  It’s that darn Bear Naked Banana Nut granola.  Killing me slowly.

Tonight’s supper could easily win me number one spot in the most pathetic looking plate category for the food photography awards.

But it tasted awesome!

There was no way to make this look nice.  Maybe if I stood the toast upright and drew a face on it with ketchup, it would have been an improvement.

Inside the double egg omelette was mushies + spinach + green onion.  Normally I throw the shrooms in raw, but tonight I cooked them a bit first and it made a big difference.  Way tastier, much more mushaboom.

I Move

Wednesday – I savoured my rest day and did nothing. Well, I walked to work, but that was it.

Thursday – Walked to work, ran on the treadmill after work.  Have you ever tried a new cardio machine and because you’re not used to it, find it hard to get a sense of balance?  I’ve tried two different treadmills at the office gym, and for both of them, it takes me the first third of my time to stop feeling like I’m going to fall off the side.  I was actually running and holding onto the machine with one hand for a few minutes.  It’s the strangest feeling… please don’t tell me I’m the only one!

Alright, time to get ready for Friday.  I’m sensing a good weekend on the horizon… partly because two foodie favourites are coming – potluck and sushi.  No weekend can be bad when it includes both those! 

Have a good one, and thanks for stopping by Oatonomy.
