Oatmeal Fail

For some reason, the weekend literally could not get here fast enough. I am so pumped that it is Friday!!

I kicked things off with an awesome workout this morning. I’d been holding off on cardio from being sick, but there’s no time like the present, so I ran through this great, 41 Minute Interval Workout for the treadmill, from FitSugar.

Minutes: MPH

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I love a good Friday workout. A lot of people think of Friday as the end of the week, but sometimes I like to think of it as the beginning of a healthy weekend. A great workout on Friday morning really does the trick!

I brought some more Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal for breakfast. Oh, yeah!

Aliens must have temporarily taken over my body as I was making this, though, because I only put in half the amount of oats that I should have (how you forget part of the oats when you’re making oatmeal is beyond me) and forgot the brown sugar entirely! I was wondering why it was taking forever to cook – it’s because it was mostly liquid!

There was nothing I could do about the missing 1/4 cup of oats, but I sprinkled 2 teaspoons of brown sugar on with my almonds, half way through baking. It still tasted yummy – just a little more custardy than usual! For the complete recipe – click here.

Lunch is going to be a good one today!

Do I own enough different shaped tupperware containers?!

Leftover baked beans & BBQ tofu (seriously awesome) with tortilla chips for dunking. 

And roasted asparagus with a Pink Lady apple!  

Good Friday Read: Oprah’s list of “100 Things That are Getting Better”

Check out #32! Whoop! And, my personal favorite, #22. Couldn’t agree more. Aussie licorice, anyone?

Going out to happy hour with some work peeps today, so I’ll catch you this evening. Have a great Friday – TGIF!
