Today begins two days of our Jean Inman RD exam review course. I’m excited to play the role of sponge!!
Today is a rest day to recover from yesterday’s run, but I did do a 20 minute YogaDownload of stretching upon waking. My muscles needed it, and it sets the stage for a healthy day. There really is nothing like a few early morning down dogs to get the joints moving.
Knowing I had to be on campus by 7:45, I made overnight oats for a no-cook breakfast. Just had to prepare the coffee and my other half helped with that 
Waaaaaaaaaa I want my daylight back 
I warmed these up for 40 seconds in the microwave. Liked it!
The Mix
- 1/3 cup raw oats
- 1 container Siggi’s plain yogurt (mmmmm!)
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup pumpkin
- Sprinkle cinnamon
- Pinch salt
Toppings
Cali bowls make the best overnight oat containers because you can see all the mixing residue on the sides of the bowl thanks to that cool lip
Nothing but milk fat film today
Feed Bag Me!
I’ve got an Open Sky promo for you Check out this cute tote made from recycled feed bags!
It’s only $15 and was made by STOPStart Enterprises, which provides jobs for trafficked and abused women in Cambodia. If you purchase it today, Open Sky is throwing in a FREE wine tote to go with it!
There are only 20 available (10 pink, 10 blue) so snag while you can
And here’s a video I made on Saturday to showcase the tote in person!

Hoping I can squeeze in a quick iPhone post at lunch – but time will definitely be crunched! Lunch is provided though, so it’s a surprise.
Headed South instead of North today!

I have never warmed up my overnight oats, but I think I may like them better that way.
Agreed! Day light savings sucks!!
Sooo dark out this morning!!
Have fun beings a sponge!!
Gotta love starting the day out with some yoga!
I think I see a penguin head profile in your coffee!
the commenter above is totally right — definitely the profile of mr. penguin!
I’ve also never heard of hot overnight oats — did it taste like regular oatmeal, just a little more creamy? curious!
have a great day
Have a good day playing sponge!
Those totes are cute!! Who doesn’t love a tote?
Have a fun day being a sponge
crazy…a review?! that means it’s almost over! hope you have a fabulous day and a fabulous lunch
I’m SO excited that you’re carrying those totes from Kingdom Ventures! Not only do they help formerly trafficked women in Cambodia, BUT they’re FAIR TRADE!! They create a sustainable job for those women and their familes that treats them with respect! (Can you tell I work for a fair trade non-profit?!) Yay!
looks delicious. and bon courage for the upcoming exam
a bientot
the paris food blague
I want your oats! Cripes, that sounded like one of the best mixes in a long tim
Have a great day!
Love the totes. There are yoga mat bags at my studio made of something similar. At least the texture looks the same.
Have a great day!
I love your coffee mug! I covet everything from Anthropologie! Have a great day!
I have a bag like that, it’s made from an old Chinese rice bag i think….
and I LOVE that mug by the way, i was going to get it at anthro the other day, but I got another instead…may have to go back after next weeks paycheck and splurge away
I kind of wish I would have warmed my overnight oats just a bit this morning. That would do wonders for taking that extra chill off.
Have fun today!
Have fun today!
That tote is sooo cute
I think I’ll try the overnight oats. I like the combo of oats and yogurt for a good carb and protein mix.
I definitely miss the morning daylight. It was so, so hard to walk to the gym in the dark again
On the upside, it will be light out later in the evening 
Hope your review sesh goes well. You are so close to being finished!
I’m not ok with this whole “driving to work in the dark” thing, but i’ll be REALLY happy when it’s still light out at 5:30 p.m.!!!
Great tote- it’s really cute and I love a big bag!
Have a great day!!
Yeah, extra darkness in the morning is not fun. Good luck with the review session!
That’s a cute bag! I love that it’s recycled
Love your spoon and the tote bag.
Have fun today!! I love that bowl, and the spoon is so cute too!!
I’m really interested in getting into Yoga and was wondering what DVD or book/program would you recommend for a NEWBIE?….
Good luck on your busy day. WE WANT OUR SUN BACK TOO!
Yogadownload’s 20 minute classes! They are free and instant to your computer.
I did that review course… it’s great! It really helps with the exam!
I’ll admit I love DST!
The bag is a neat idea.
I love the idea of slightly warming cold oats. Have a fun day!
You will be totally prepared for the RD exam of the Inman review- I used a reallllllly old copy of the self-study binder to study for my exam, and it was so helpful!
When I met Kath in Greensboro last Sunday, she was carrying the tote. I thought it was so cool, I ordered one for myself and one for a friend. I like the colors. I get tired of beige.
Nothing like oats and yoga to start the day!
Aw, I love that it doesn’t get dark until later, but I agree, I did miss my morning daylight when I woke up. Don’t worry – it’ll be back sooon
Have a great day!
i’ve been to nervous to try the overnight oats because the idea of eating them cold kind of grosses me out. BUT I’m definitely going to try nuking them a bit to warm them up!
Enjoy the course and have an awesome day!
Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog … I cleaned up my bookmarked nuttrion and cooking sites and realized how many were interesting, but did not necessarily add value to my life. I’ve learned many things from yours – it’s informative, clear, and fun! You clearly put a lot of thought into it and it shows.
I am definitely adding sardines to my grocery list! The nutrition facts were pretty amazing, especially the vitamin D. May be a tricky addition for my husband and kids … it sounds great to me!
Thank you!
That bag is adorable!!! And what a cool deal! If I was not broke currently, I would definitely partake
I have never warmed up overnight oats either… sounds good though!
Have a fabulous day!
Good luck, sponge. that bag is cute!
Kath–great job on the run yesterday!!!!!!!!!! I love the feeling of finishing such a long run.
Where is your half marathon? You should try for the Asheville half in September–it’s beautiful (hard as hell though b/c the hills).
April 10
your overnight oats look superb!
I LOVE the totes. Too Cute!
Nom, nom, nom…those oats look deicious…I thought I spied pumpkin! Have a great day!
I want my daylight back too!!!!
I love seeing all your meals! I really need to get a French press!
Good luck with the exam review!!
I LOVE the pink bag!
And the video is awesome – you’re great on camera!
Have a fantabulous day, Kath!!
The other day I made o-nite oats and stirred in a container of pear sauce in the morning for my fruit component. It was the best batch I’ve ever made! Sooo, if you haven’t tried it I highly recommend it
.
I’ll take dark mornings for light evenings!
Have you tried all of the Crofter’s flavors yet? I want to pick one up to try, but I’d love a reccomendation!
*recommendation
Definitely the North America!!!!
I have to chime in… I got the North American at WF based on your recommendation Kath… it is to die for… we all love it, hubs and kids… price isn’t bad either! Go for it!
those cali bowls make everything look beautiful! are they microwave safe?
Yep!
love the bag and would love to order..but still havent recieved my nutbutter from your last promo… any helpful hints??
