Human Trot

Man, it’s one of those days where the time has slipped through our fingers!!! Matt and I slept late (he needed it after cramming 40 hours into 4 days but I sure didn’t!) and then procrastinated going for a run by nodding back off to sleep! By the time we woke up again it was 9:00!!! We finally got out of bed and got dressed to run. I had 2 big bites of banana with some Nuttzo before we left.

We trotted ~5 miles in a clover shape around our neighborhood. And I swear it was ALL uphill!! Next time we are doing it in reverse 🙂 It was a fun foggy run though, and we saw tons of other people out exercising. And one guy holding a mimosa!

Once home, showered and dressed, it was 11:00!! I was |thisclose| to having a green monster but again, I put the ingredients away when I pictured the icy cold drink in my hands. We have a bunch of avocados and Matt decided to make egg + avocado oatmeal. I was going to have that too, but I chickened out at the last minute 😉 The muffin was too tempting!!

We shared a whipped banana base (made with 1/3 cup oats each and splitting a banana and some chia seeds)

My bowl was topped with Carrot Raisin Walnut muffin from Great Harvest, plum jam and Costco PB

IMG_9681 (640x427)

And his was topped with egg + avocado

+ Big Papi sauce! I had a bite and it was super spicy! I was happy with my muffin decision : )

IMG_9688 (640x427)

I discovered that our EarthFare eggs come from a family farm in Hillsborough where I grew up and the owners go to my parents’ church and have been family friends for years! Mrs. Latta was my preschool teacher 🙂 So fun that we really know where this eggs come from

Since we just finished breakfast at 11:30 and are eating "dinner" at 3PM, I’m calling this brunch.

Gotta go get a’cookin’!!

Thanksgiving Goals:

  1. Eat mindfully
  2. Focus on how I FEEL and stop before I’m stuffed so I can….
  3. Save room for pie x 3!!

So thankful for all of you guys!

Happy Thanksgiving!

    Hooray for eating mindfully! When there’s lot of dishes we want to try, we just need to take baby portions of everything. Except for maybe pie. I’ll probably have a normal-sized piece of pie. 😉

    Hey Kath!

    Like you and many of your readers, I am the biggest oatmeal lover! However, recently I have been getting small spots around my mouth, and along my jaw, I was told it could be due to having lots of oats. I have been known to eat almost 1.5 cups in one day, 1/2 for breakfast, 1/2 in an oatmeal pancake, 1/2 in something else. But its a one off and usually day to day its always 2/3 or less of a cup. I am trying to cut oats out to see if it really is the cause because there hasn’t been anything new in my diet other than oats (8 weeks now). Do you anyone to have such a reaction to oats and if its normal?

    Thanks!

      Ross,
      I’ve never heard of any reaction like that to oats. Who told you about it? My recommendation would be to take a little break and see what happens. Perhaps see a doctor if they come back.

    I love your goals for the day. And its awesome that you got out to run even after sleeping in. I think if I had gone back to sleep I would have skipped the run. But I’m glad I got out this morning because it made my day that much better.

    I think I’m with you on the oats- but some day (perhaps for dinner) I’d try Matt’s version.

    Very cool egg-nection. I would very much like to find a local source for eggs as I eat quite a lot of them!

    Okay, I love eggs with avocado and I love oatmeal, but the three of them together? topped off with hot sauce? yeah, I’m not sure about that! Not for me. Your oatmeal however, looked like something I’d enjoy! Hope you had a great day!

    I spoke to my mom earlier today and she told me about this “amazing bakery” that fed all the runners of her charity race this morning, that she and my stepfather make yearly Thanksgiving contributions to, and she started telling me about their “amazing bread,” and I asked, “Are you talking about Great Harvest, by any chance?” she couldn’t believe I knew about it, and hen she asked me how I did, I said, “Oh…Kath!” And then I sent her your blog.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    That’s cool about the eggs. I notice the company is based in Asheville. That’s one of me and my husband’s favorite places. 🙂 We even named our cat Asheville.
