On The Clock

In a bit of a rush this morning because I’m due at work 15 minutes early!!! Tick Tock….

IMG_6400 (640x427)

Getting up for the gym was surprisingly easy today. Go figure. Probably because it’s only 46* outside!! It felt almost balmy when I got out there. But what do you know, the rainy came pouring in when I got back home – just in time!!

I had a great workout today!! 45 minutes on the elliptical with Better Homes + Gardens (my favorite!!) followed by 15 minutes of weight lifting. I used the 17.5 pounders again and did 2 sets of 15 on biceps, shoulders, triceps, and delts and then did some plie squats, pushups and abs. I was in a weight mood today!

Once home, my wonderful personal chef made breakfast while I showered! Love Mondays when he is home for breakfast 🙂

Today’s AWESOME mix included (for ONE person)

I did the coffee pouring today. The trick is to pour slowly at an angle so the bloom comes out too. Not sure if Matt understood that…

Looks like a horrid scary eyeball!

I can tell I have sickness looming in my upper half 🙁 I feel fine, but it’s there. I believe in whole foods, which is why I packed an orange in my lunch, but I also happen to have these Chews 4 Health that KERF reader Holly gave me when we met back in December. She works for the company and gave me a box to sample, and I tucked them away and they fell off my radar. I hunted them down today thinking that they couldn’t hurt when I might be getting sick.

IMG_6493 (640x427)

They taste like sweet tarts!

Components include Superfruit powder [Gogi, Noni, Mangosteen, Acai, POM, Blueberry, Cranberry, Raspberry], Sea Vegetable Powder [Nori, Dulse, Kelp, Bladderwrack], Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, ALA, and Resveratrol. Sweetened with fructose from xylitol.

Watch This Contest –>

I have always loved watches – probably because they are both practical and fun jewelry! So when Mary K emailed me about her handmade watches, I thought you guys would like to get in on the ticks and tocks.

IMG_6404 (640x427)

Mary designs interchangeable watch bands that are elastic and custom-fit to your wrist size. You can mix and match faces to bands to your outfit 🙂 Mary’s blog is a showcase of some of her designs – so hard to choose a favorite! And these are a STEAL at $10 each on her Etsy shop. Perfect gift.

Mary sent me these beautiful green and black bands to swap out. Green is my favorite color and classic black goes with everything!

IMG_6403 (640x427)

Sooooooo, ONE LUCK DUCK will win a custom watch and band of your choice. Leave a comment below to enter by 8PM EST and I’ll choose a random winner tonight.

I’m late!! I’m late!!

  8. Yummy breakfast, as always. 🙂

    My mix this morning was oats, chia seeds, ground flax seed, a little maple syrup, 1/2 chopped banana, a sprinkling of homemade cherrry-almond granola and some extra cinnamon! The recipe I have for the granola is SUPER easy. I can share if you want…

    Love the watch and bracelet.:-)

  11. That’s a hefty bowl of awesome you’ve got there. 😮

    I also had a great workout too – after running the treadmill I’ve been hopping on the ET for about half a mile for a cool down and it feels great!

    Do you feel you still get as good of a work out when you’re reading something? I haven’t tried that yet but I feel like I’d focus more on the magazine than the exercise.

  13. I love anything handmade and love to support artists of all kinds! I hope I win and i hope you fend off the sickness!

  17. I have to wear a watch everyday. It drives me nuts to go without. Those are so pretty and festive!
    And you inspired me to add a spoonful of almond butter to my oats this morning. I went on a long snowshoe yesterday and woke up super hungry.

  19. I think there is A LOT going around this world right now in terms of sickness. Lots of sick bloggies and lots of sickies around me. I started feeling something yesterday as well. I could not agree with you more on the whole foods. After feeling crummy, I pumped my body with nothing but goodness yesterday: a giant green monster plus a carrot n ginger juice. I’m hoping that kicked it! Lots of rest when you can.

  21. Those watches are beautiful! I am actually in the market for a new one 🙂 I hope you feel better! I always take Emergen-C when I feel a cold coming on. But those Chews 4 Health tablets look good too.

  29. Hello, I just found your blog yesterday. I already love your blog. I needed some inspiration for my new life I decided I need to start. My BMI is putting me at an overweight range and I haven’t been feeling confinent and have become a homebody. This is major for me being that I have never been overweight in my life, I had two lovly children and let my habits go. I picked up the unhealthy habits from my boyfriend leaving the healthy ones behind.
    Reading your post this morning has gotten me in the mood to turn my treadmill back into a treadmill and not a towel rack. 🙂
    Love the watch and the bracelet.

  32. I love watches!!! I’m usually known as the one who has a watch on (and usually am the only one who knows what time it is)!

  33. Hey Kath! Fabulous looking breakfast yet again. I really need to make my breakfast a bit more lively – going to check out your recipes! Wish we had things like Bob’s cereals and chia seeds to hand in Britain. Healthy eating seems like so much more fun for you guys! Have a great day!

  38. Cute watches indeed!

    That bowl looks particularly delish! I tried to find some of the BRM apple cereal at my local stores and to no avail! Crossing my fingers we’ll get it soon…

  42. Must be something in the air today because I felt really strong and into working out as well. Course going to bed a bit earlier helps.

  44. What gorgeous bands…
    And a question that I keep meaning to ask you, you always have the most beautiful spoons. Where did you get them?

  47. Oh golly, this would be so perfect right now! I don’t have a watch and usually rely on my phone for the time, but I don’t have the right adaptor to charge my non-working phone so I’m always a bit lost about the time!

    These look so beautiful, too… I’m going to cross my fingers for myself 😛

  52. I never wear a watch, and just do that annoying practice of checking my cell phone for the time. A watch would be much more subtle and classy 😉

  55. I’m glad it’s warm where you are…in Indiana we’re expecting snow today! I can’t wait for spring.

    I’ll throw my name into the hat for the watch band. Etsy is the most wonderful website, you never know what adorable unique things you can find on there.

  56. Those watches are adorable! I usually don’t wear watches since I’m allergic to nickel and most watches (even supposedly stainless steel ones) irritate my skin. Without metallic bands, these would be perfect!

  57. Kath- I just love to read your blog, It is my favorite. Thanks for being an inspiration. I am now addicted to oatmeal and eat it every morning.I feel so much better and have lost almost 20lbs in the last month. Thanks for inspiring me 🙂

  66. Yummy looking oatmeal. I love butterscotch chips! I just tried the new Trader Joe’s salted crunchy almond butter with toasted flax seeds. I really like it for a change from my regular almond butter. Those watch bands are so cute. I am in such a rut with my boring silver and black Citizen watch I’ve worn for about 3 years. I’d love to win a beaded watch!

  72. Yummy breakfast!! Even better to have someone prepare it for you!

  83. I took advantage of the OpenSky deal on the Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower butter and I CAN’T WAIT to try it! Your morning oatmeal updates have definitely inspired me to try my own. Today’s is fresh strawberries, Chobani vanilla greek yogurt, and some granola.

    The watches are super cute-I love the interchangeable band idea.

  84. Love the interchangeable bands on the watches, makes them so much more versatile. Maybe I’ll wear more than just my Polar everyday! : )

  114. I love the green one! How pretty. Thanks for the giveaway. I’m a loyal reader and I love your blog for healthy food inspiration when I’m getting low on ideas. Husband and I took breakfast to the park yesterday morning to go running and enjoy the sunshine. Breakfast included your banana baked oatmeal (sans brown sugar) and it was perfectly delish.

    Reply

  115. I’m a lucky girl because my personal chef makes my breakfast every morning while I’m in the shower. Unfortunately every now and then he has to go away for work, so my breakfast was lonely today PLUS it’s snowing again so my bike ride was not much fun!

    Hope you have a great day.

  116. I used to think I was horrible with time, but it’s because I didn’t wear a watch! Now I feel naked and lost if I don’t have my watch. I was without it all weekend and I was a lost duck!! So, of course, I would love extra watches for when I forget mine some place!!! Those watches are gorgeous!

    Reply

  117. What a perfectly wonderful day to read your blog for the first time! I’m a reader from Carrots N Cake and saw that you were the inspiration for her blog so I thought I’d check you out. Those watch bands are so beautiful! and wonderful replacement for my $5 Walmart watch! And those oats look amazing! Delish..

  124. I’m always so jealous of your oats – mine never look near as good.

    I think the watch is beautiful! I’m a huge watch fanatic and mine is so scratched up right now from overwearing it that I could definitely use a new one!

  131. What a great giveaway! So cute! I wish the gym was easy for me to get up this morning! Once I heard the rain outside I just wanted to fall back asleep! But I convinced myself I would regret it if I didn’t go!!! Have a GREAT day 🙂

  157. Bit random but was wondering if you had organised where you were going to live when you moved? Noticed that you were reading magazines about houses – getting some interior decorating ideas??!!! Lucky you – if I could I would redo my house every couple of months!! Best wishes with the sale!!

    Also – I have a great red cabbage recipe if you want it.

    Reply

  161. First of all – I have to let you know that I’m getting more into oats! I used to eat the pre-sweetened kind, but have recently started to make my own! I’m still in the baby steps (oats + nutella + granola) but they are wonderful and I’m getting pumpkin on my next grocery run.

    Just curious what your thoughts are on non-nutritive sweeteners like xylitol. I’ve always had a *sparingly* mindset when I deal with those (although they’re becoming unavoidable!), believing that I’d rather have real sugar in moderation than anything else. I noticed a while back you mentioned using stevia in teas – is it “all-natural” like splenda is all-natural? I just get antsy about the whole unstable carbon debate. Thanks for any thoughts!

    Reply

    • I’m not going to avoid them like they are poison or anything, but I don’t think I’d choose to consume something with xylitol on a daily basis…

  213. A couple things:

    I also love Better Homes and Gardens! Do you plant any veggies or herbs? I plant herbs and a few tomato plants, but I want to plant some salad greens. Have you done that? I think there is a section on salad greens in the new March BHG mag.

    When you start to feel UHG, what is the point that you stop working out? I know everyone says to do what your body tells you to do…but that can be a blurry line sometimes. Do you take a multi-vitamin?

    Finally, I love the blog and your thoughts on things. It is so interesting to get other perspectives on healthy lifetstyles. Everyone’s vision is so different.

    Reply

    • We have herbs in our garden, but aren’t planting any now since we’re moving.

      I stop working out when my below-the-neck body does not feel like it. Today I felt fine from the neck down.

      I take a multi on and off. I’m on the fence about it so I take it inconsistently.

      Reply

  215. I’ve been reading your blog for years and I’m always so inspired by your morning oats. So over and over I’ve tried to make myself oatmeal in the morning because it’s “the right thing to do” but there’s just one problem. I don’t like oatmeal! I’m not a fussy person but since I”ve been a tot, I just can’t eat the stuff. I’ve tried making it different ways with different toppings but I just don’t like it. I laugh every time I see your beautiful bowl of oatmeal because I want so badly to start the day off with a bowl, but it just doesn’t work for me.

    Those watches are spectacularly gorgeous!

    Reply

  219. I love mornings like that! This morning was definitely NOT one of those mornings, but I try most of the week. 🙂

    Love the watch band! I rarely wear my watch – actually, since I got engaged I don’t like wearing anything on the same arm as my ring is on. Is that weird? 🙂

  335. Love the watch bands, and I actually would consider buying one. One question: do they pull at the little hairs on your arm because they’re elastic?

    Reply

    • Hi Melissa Sue-

      I’ve been reading these great comments all morning and saw you had a question. No, they don’t pull the little hairs on your arm as long as the band fits correctly. If you order a band, I will size it to fit you specifically, so you shouldn’t have any trouble! I’ve made myself lots of these and have never had a problem.

      Thanks!

  381. Love the watches.
    Question–do you find that oatmeal holds you over as well as eggs would? I LOVE oatmeal and want it every morning (I eat at 7 am)–I usually add berries, cinnamon, flax meal and nuts. By 10 am I am STARVING. When I have an egg I still feel some hunger around mid-morning, but not the crazy hunger I get when eating oatmeal.

    Reply

    • Yes, definitely. Oatmeal holds me over longer than eggs because it fills me up. Are you having a normal portion size? 400-500 calories worth of food?

  406. Your breakfast looked wonderful as always! I am so bad at wearing watches, but those are so cute!! I stumbled upon your blog as I was trying to decide what to do for the nutrition blog I had to start for class & I love it!! It has really inspired me to get more creative in the kitchen & I’ve been trying all kinds of new things 🙂 Loving the oatmeal, oatmeal pancakes, kale chips, bean burgers, and flatbread just to name a few 🙂 Thanks for such a great blog and for giving me so many ideas!!

  409. I love the idea of adding butterscotch chips to oatmeal. I ate some of a blondie tonight, which always remind me of butterscotch. Anyway, thanks for putting this giveaway together!

  413. Watches are TOO cute! Oh, btw, reading your blog is starting to cost me… picked up the 150 Superfoods book, bought a french press… I’m worried I won’t be able to resist the Vita Mix much longer! How’s about a free watch to balance the budget??!! 😉

  416. Hey Kath, After hitting a huge hurdle this past year, 2010 is MY YEAR TO SHINE AGAIN!!!… Been receiving extra encouragement and inspiration from regularly reading your blog more recently. May the eye in your coffee look out for your feeling 100% tomorrow. Next time you have a give away, you might want to wait till you have more time feeling GR8 to not further add time 2 possible R&R time 2 heal UrSelf by reading 500 or so blog posts–which I know U do. While I M sure U R vigilent during Ur daily routine & Internship, I’ll bet U caught Ur bug @ home. Funny, we don’t seem to think about handwashing or handsanitizing as often @ home, but you might have some families with kids who love to put their fingers in all kinds of places trapsing through Ur house these days. Might want to invest in Clorox wipes for doorknobs and obvious ‘touch’ spots for a quick wipe when U get home… Also, maybe some travel size hand sanitizer in a little basket by the door with a note 2 help Urself…might go a long way too (or just a big ole bottle). Did U get Ur Flu Shot(s)? I always seem to just miss Ur Open Sky deals. The latest Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower Butter would have gone to twice as many people if they didn’t sell it as a package of two… Looks like I just got this one in under the wire this time. Hope 2 win. Thank U…and feel better.

  419. I love these watches. I have five of them. I get comments everyday how much people love them. I just can’t get enough. Mary K. does such a fabulous job. I suggest purchasing a watch for your favorite woman in your life- moms, teachers, daughters. You name it!!
