AH! Sorry I've been so MIA, maintaining a blog is so hard I find. I actually spend so much time reading others, I forget about mine! Tomorrow I will post my eats and what not:)
Stay tuned!

Wednesday Eats
Good afternooon!
Today has been like every other day, since I've finished school for the summer... boringgg. This morning after my run, I tried the "Cookie dough smoothie", well kinda. It was SO SO good though! I LOVE my oats, so I changed the way they are supposed to be prepared because I didn't really want to eat a smoothie for breakfast.
In the actual recipe your supposed to blend all the oats together with a banana, and milk of your choice, but I wanted my oats in there! So instead I blended only half the amount of oats with the wet ingredients and then I put the dry oats in a bowl with my chia seeds and put the blended stuff on top overnight with frozen bloobs and it was so delicious this morning! If that even made sense :P
After that wonderful feast, I had to do some errands and running around. I'm currently in my first year of university but I really want to leave the nest and continue my education somewhere else! So I had to get my transcripts ready and mail them off. I've been doing that for the last 3 hours, honestly the things they make you do to get into university or even apply is sucha lonnnnggg process! If I wasn't as motivated to go to school, I wouldn't dare apply! Haha
This afternoon, I wanted to try a new recipe/package I found at my local health food store!
Those are my eats for wednesday so far, oh! I forgot I had some baby carrots and PB for a snack inbetween both those meals, just didn't snap a pic, ooops.

I've always wanted to try Falafel, so I made 6 little patties and froze them for later use! I gotta say, I was expecting something a little different, maybe a little more moist but all in all it was pretty yuuumy!

Tuesday
Ah! I totally forgot I had a blog for a day and half! Woops!
Today was my day off from work, so I didn't really do much other than go for a 5K run in the morning and went to the library! I definately forgot to take pictures of my breakfast and dinner today, but I did get my lunch before it was devoured!
It was a stir-fry w/ Udon noodles, tofu, asparagus, mushrooms and kale! Also with stir-fry sauce and balsamic vinegar:) It was yummmy!
Back to the things I did today, I went for a run after eating my breakfast of oats and normally I go to the gym and haul my booty to do 3K in 30 minutes, but today when I went for my run outside, it took me 30 mins to do 5K..I was so shocked! Do you guys find that running outside is better?worse? What is your advice for a beginner runner like moi?

Sweaty saturday
Happy Saturday!
Today is my day off, so I started my day off sloowwllly, but deliciously! For breakfast I had a bowl of Kashi GoLean with Grape-Nuts drowned in almond milk, topped with berries. Thats a mouthful, literally hehe. It was weird, I left the cereal to stand for 2 minutes and the cereal I guess, had absorbed all the almond milk!
Since I can remember, Saturday has always been a day of cleaning in my house. So I cleaned up my room and the living room, while reading blogs hehe. Does anyone else find these things addictive? I swear I read so many blogs and time just flies.Anywhooo, for lunch I had..
Anyways I'm off to clean somemooooree,

I did 50 minutes of circuit training and strength training on exercise TV, after all that goodness digested! I was feeling to lazy to get my butt to the gym, so I just did the exercises in my room ha! I like the privacy though so I don't really mind. As long as a I am getting a good work-out!
After that was done, I was completely drenched in sweat and had a little post work-out snack!

Sweet Peanut Potato Crunchies!
Good afternoon dolls!
So this is what I ate for lunch, a salad w/ baby carrots, cucumbers and red onion(mmm, my favorite) and then it was topped with a Sol Veggie burger and hidden underneath of the big burger are my SWEET PEANUT POTATO CRUNCHIES! They were amazing! I used balsamic vinegar for my dressing.
As a post my food on here, you'll probably be really surprised at what I eat, I eat like I'm a prego lady with BAD cravings! But its just food for my soul :) We alll have those weird combos, we like to eat.. righhtt?
To make the crunchies:
I used:
1 Tbsp of Smooth PB
0.125 Cup of Wheat Germ ( half of 1/4)
Half a sweet potato
I pre-heat the oven to 360 and chopped up the tater in to rectangular looking thingies..

After I melted the PB and drizzled it alllll over the taters and mixed up the wheat-germ as well!
I popped them in the oven and BOOM!
They came out crispy and DELICIOUS!
There's obviously other ways you can make them, but this was just a random creation I thought about while watching Tyra hehe.
That was my lunch for ya! Hope you guys had an amazing lunch like I did!

Day 1
So today, I woke up this morning and enjoyed a bowl of voluminous oats from www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com. No photos though because I ate them early this morning and my camera was dead! It was an overnight mixture of 1/3 Bob Hot Cereal Oats and 1 1/2 of water, put them in the microwave for 2 minutes and then put them in the fridge overnight. Then BOOM! I had so much fluffy oat meal, it was heavenly!! I added 1/4 cottage cheese and smushed nanner with some berries and cinnamon it was DELISH!
Afterwards, I started my day off with some circuit training. I did Chris Freytags 3-2-1 DVD and Jillian Michaels 6 week 6 pack workout and now I'm sweating like I just got out of the shower. It's lunch-time! Hopefully my camera is alive so you can see my lunch-time eats :)
