Blah.

Yep, blah.  That is the best I can do today.  After I posted last night, I went upstairs, crawled into bed, and proceeded to lay there for way too long.  Sleep just wasn’t coming my way.  Finally I fell asleep only to be woken up at 5:30 this morning by our devil of a cat.  I never went back to sleep after that.  I think this also has to do with the medications I am on….they just really give my anxiety and have my brain running at a million miles an hour, even when I’m exhausted.

Breakfast

I did decide to switch up my oats a little bit this morning.  I never cook mine with milk.  I think it is because I just sort of see it as a waste of calories, not really sure.  But this morning I did 1/2 cup of oats with 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of milk, a pinch of salt, a few raisins and a little bit of vanilla extract.  Heated up at 60% for 3 minutes.  It still was much watery than usual, so I heated it up for another minute…still a bit soupy.  I thought it needed a little bit of something else, so I put a little spoonful of Wegmans natural PB.

I want to see if this keeps me full and satisfied longer than when there is no milk.  I definitely still feel pretty stuffed right now and it has been 1 1/2 hours since I ate.

Lunch

The sandwich is about the same as it was last week.  1/2 a whole wheat pita with a little bit of buffalo turkey, red pepper hummus and some lettuce.

Kind-of boring, I know.

I also brought 1/4 cup of whipped cottage cheese and some Cracklin’ Oat bran.

And some baby carrots

And for my plethora of snacks:

A fiber one yogurt (which I have never had before), a TLC bar (I have never had this flavor before) and an orange.

All packed up

Okay, I need to focus.  I can already tell today is going to be a busy busy day.  I plan on hitting up the gym over lunch.  I was going to do the treadmill again because my knee has been feeling pretty good lately, but I am feeling so exhausted it may just be an elliptical/cardio wave day. 

Only 19 days until I leave for Japan!!

And…this is what happens when you eat and drink all weekend long.
