So Blueberryhil wrote a post that made me so incredibly happy tonight I had to share it with you all! She discusses office party etiquette, which is so important to me! The office can be a horrible place when one is focusing on a healthy lifestyle, as there is almost no privacy! Even my Dad notices this [...]

July 30, 2008: Sick again?!
I woke up this morning and indulged in my overnight oats, which were delicious as per usual, and savored every bite.
I knew I had a busy day at work and might be having a late lunch, so I had the last of my pumpkin chocolate chip bran muffins. These beauties have been a life-saver. I [...]

July 28, 2008: The Week is Moving Along
Some days all I can think about is how my vacation is just 2 weeks away (Mike and I are going to Stonington, CT, Boston, and Block Island!). Anyway, this morning i had a little less time than normal so I had to eat my overnight oats rather quickly. They were still amazing.
Lunch was back to [...]

July 28, 2008: Back to the Grind…
I was happy to wake up and have an appetite for breakfast. That is one of the great things about fresh produce and whole grains- granted, I did eat too much yesterday, but watermelon and salad don’t sit in your stomach like a brick for a long time the way say, pizza or chips, do! [...]

July 27, 2008: Bottomless Pit Day
Last night was lots of fun- Mike and I had friends over for drinks, and I got to wear my very fabulous new teeny black dress!
Unfortunately, I had to get up early this morning to go to work, so was pretty exhausted while eating breakfast- 1/2c, oats and 1 T. flax soaked overnight in vanilla [...]

July 26, 2008: Perfect Saturday- Updated to Include Dinner
Breakfast this morning was my absolute favorite- omelettes filled with sauteed vegetables and bagels. Here are the veggies cooking.
Here’s my plate. I made my omelette using 2 eggs, 2 egg whites, 1/2c. vegetables, and put about 2 t. of vegetable cream cheese on a whole wheat bagel. Amazing.
Lunch was pretty late. Mike and I spent the [...]

July 25, 2008: Gorgeous Friday
I woke up this morning happy to be hungry for my overnight oats- creamy and refreshing.
I remembered that I have been trying to eat a little more at breakfast so I’m not eating my arm by 11:00 and had a perfectly ripe peach as well.
Lunch wasn’t until 1:15, and was eaten outside with my very favorite [...]

July 24, 2008: Productive Thursday
This morning started out with 1/2 c. oats, 1 T. flax, and some nutmeg that I had soaked overnight in 1/2c. lite vanilla soy milk. Everything absorbed perfectly, and I just heated everything up and added a sliced banana for breakfast. Easy and tasty!
Lunch was a work event. I decided to be prepared, so I took along PB [...]

July 23, 2008: Feeling Better
I woke up this morning feeling a whole lot better and thoroughly enjoyed my overnight oats. I changed it up a bit this time, and added my flaxseed the night before- result- fabulous! The flax seed really helped “puff” the oatmeal up!
I knew I would be doing some work handling our rare book collections today and therefore anticipated [...]
