Awake + Gloing

Morning!! I was up at 5:32 this morning ready to go but convinced my mind to sleep for another hour. Alarm did go off at 6:26 and we were off to the gym on our bikes by 7:05. I stopped for 2 bites of banana along the way.

Workout was great. In addition to our biking, I did 30 hard minutes on the Stairmaster. GOSH that machine is tough! I thought I was almost done and I peeked and still had 7 minutes left. I survived and we were on our way back home (more downhill than up!) in no time.

We are in a bit of a rush now because Larbs + Matt’s flight is landing sooner than scheduled!

We decided on yogurt bowls for breakfast to save time with cooking and dishes –

IMG_4689 (640x427)

But by the time I was done assembling mine and photographing, Matt was already done!

There was a new surprise ingredient in the bowl: GLO-NOLA!!

In honor of her debut to ship to the USA, Angela sent a package of goodies from the Glo Bakery!

IMG_4425 (640x427)

A sampling of Glo Bars and some Glo-nola! I cant’ wait to try some of these out –

IMG_4426 (640x427)

All stashed for eating!

IMG_4431 (640x427)

Cranberry Pumpkin Raisin Almond Spice –

IMG_4429 (640x427)

So my yogurt bowl contained:

  • 1 container Oikos plain
  • The last of pumpkin – about 1/4 cup
  • Cinnamon
  • 1 tiny banana
  • 2 tbsp wheatberries
  • ~1/3 cup Glo-nola 
  • Few drops Costco PB
  • 1 tbsp flax

IMG_4693 (640x427)

 IMG_4694 (640x427)

I’m a little teacup, short and stout!

IMG_4695 (640x427)

We were out of milk this morning so I used a little chocolate milk in my coffee! I got this sample of choco from Organic Valley + Nature’s Path granola  in honor of their Organic Heroes campaign. The choco combo was great!

    I hate packing – the worst part of traveling. I love adding hot chocolate to coffee – I bet chocolate milk is even better.

    Angela’s products look so good! And I know what you mean about the stairmaster…I haven’t done it in awhile and it’s TOUGH. But it’s good for you (me?) mentally as well. I think I’m dying and I can’t do those last 10 or whatever minutes, but I push those thoughts out of my head and power through. Feels so good when you’re done!

    Thanks for stopping by the empty pb jar oat post. It made it onto both tastespotting and foodgawker. Woohoo! Have a great weekend Kath!

    Have fun on Bald Head. I live in Wilmington and it was 85 degrees today, sunny, cool breeze — hope the weather sticks all weekend for you. Was thinking of places you might stop for some good sounthern eats if you venture off the island…
    In Southport – Live Oak Cafe or Taylors (the later, not so healthy, but yummy).
    In Wilmington – downtown on Front Street, Basics is very yummy, fresh, local food – but still southern. Jesters, on Castle (close to downtown) has fresh, local breakfast and lunch. Caprice Bistro, downtown on Market, has a fun sofa lounge, good martini specials, and a $5 bar menu.

    Pamela,
    We’re staying on the island, but we often do lunch in Wilmington on our way out. Love the waterfront!
