Oats Return

I might be a morning exercise convert! I got up early this morning and got a solid hour on the elliptical in. I was snowing when I ran to the gym and sunny on my way home. THAT’S the way to start your day. I was SO hungry when I got back but I kept telling myself to shower first (because otherwise I would wait to long to shower and be late to class…) so I took the fastest shower ever with dreams of overnight oats and warm coffee dancing in my head. Please tell me I’m not the only one who dreams of food….

My expectations were met when I tried my bowl of overnight oats. UNREAL. 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup TJ’s greek yogrt, splash of milk, cinnamon, lots of blueberries, and package of TJ’s almonds cut in half. Look at all those nutrients…

Bird’s eye view

I wanted to show a “all mixed up” picture, but it was unsuccessful. The stuff was too thick! I think I need to add more milk/water next time. Does this happen to anyone else? Is it the greek yogurt that makes this happen?

Anyway, that bowl hit me like a brick! It was a good thing too because I didn’t have lunch plans till 1:30. I met my “little” and my “little-little” (sorority family) for lunch on campus at the Refectory. They have the best food on campus and their motto is “Hot Healthy and Homemade”. They use as many local products as possible and pride themselves on being a sustainable living cafe. What good eats on campus! The place is always packed for breakfast and lunch and we even had to wait for a table

Well, it was worth the wait! I got the tofu curry over brown rice with a side of roasted sweet potatoes. AWESOME! The tofu was cooked perfectly and the curry had just enough kick! The portion was fairly large but I had no trouble finishing it. If you’ve noticed, I love having big lunches that power me through the afternoon and this one did just that.

Well, I’m doing a little more work then I’m headed to Cameron Indoor for the Senior Game.. If I don’t get into the UNC game then this will be my LAST game in Cameron. SERIOUS TEARS.

So bittersweet!
