If I could marry a bowl of oatmeal, I surely would.
Since that’s not possible – and weird – I’ll have to stick with eating it every morning and taking pictures of the little big bowls of love.
So without further ado…
I Eat
A yummy bowl of 1/2 c. oats + 1/2 c. almond milk + 1/2 c. water + 1/2 nan + cinnamon + granola + soy nuts + almond butter.
I probably should have some oatmeal with my nut butter. What a happy morning that was.
As was the morning of this bowl – mostly because of the single dried apple slice. It totally made the bowl.
Now that was a party in my mouth. I cut out the nan and replaced it with half a pear, and split it up between the cooking and topping process. Yes, process.
This bowl was insanely delicious for a Thursday.
Other eats weren’t as delicious as my oats (is anything ever?) but I guess they can still make an appearance.
I don’t really remember what was in this… veggies of some sort + pork tenderloin + rice spaghetti noodles. The sauce was soy sauce + red wine vinegar + corn starch. Chopsticks were totally necessary to prevent me from burning my mouth – look at the steam!
This was some boring leftovers from the weekend. Chicken thighs are really not great – I know I’ve whined about this before. By the time you pick off the skin and all the fatty blobs, what’s left? A bone and three grams of meat. How is that dinner?
Just in case you thought I was joking when I said I can eat my weight in sushi, here’s some evidence from last night:
Free sushi!!
No, it wasn’t. But the zero dollars makes it look that way! All-you-can-eat with a friend – excellent. And we did split that, I promise it wasn’t just me. But it mostly was. And it was fully delicious.
Tonight’s supper was eaten quick! I think egg sandwiches are a favourite supper. That’s probably because they’re meant for breakfast. Any other egg sandwich lovers out there?
They’re even better with stray broccoli bits stuck to them… ?!
Now let’s look at desserts. They’ve been making countless appearances lately.
Cantaloupe + banana nut granola (!!) + dates + cacao nib cookie. Oops, and where did the other one(s) go that I ate? Strange.
But how about this, friends? A lovely bowl of banana soft serve + banana nut granola + cacao nibs.
Great. There’s drool all over my keyboard now.
Getting a little photo crazy with this one.
The close up of the yum:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Good stuff.
I Move
Monday – after work, I got on the bus to go across town to run on the treadmill at the gym for half an hour.
Tuesday – after work, I walked across the street to go on the elliptical at the gym for about twenty minutes, and did some random free weights.
… across the street? Yes! I am now the owner of a gym membership at my office. I just have to dodge four lanes of speeding traffic and I’m there! It’s a bit of a smelly basement cavern but it’s dirt cheap, convenient and saves me an extra trip to the other gym.
Tuesday, encore – football at work. You read that right. I played football, against my will, over the lunch hour. I was recruited and didn’t have the backbone to refuse. I got some mud smears on my pants and my shoes have authentic grass stains now, so I confess, I felt almost legit afterward. But I’m never playing again.
Wednesday – I increased the flexibility of my fingers by using chopsticks.
Thursday – back to the office gym for a treadmill run. Not sure where the energy came from at the end of the day, but it was a great work out and I was in a good mood.
Turkey Time
Heading home tomorrow night for Thanksgiving. Wahoo! To all you Canadians enjoying the holiday, I hope you have a great weekend and that you get some yummy food under your belt (which will likely need to be loosened by Monday night). Next post will be from home.

Overnight oats are perfect for those mornings!
