After a great BodyPump class this morning, for lunch I made something I haven't had in ages: warm oats.
I cooked some stovetop oats with 1/2 cup rolled oats with a cup and a half of almond milk, a very thinly sliced banana, 2T ground flax meal, a 1/4 cup serving of peanut flour and a big spoonful of PB&Co. Dark Chocolate Dreams. I love how adding powdered ingredients to oats always makes a slight crust form...
These were really good, but I think it's officially past oat season. I got really sick of eating them about halfway through the bowl, and while I finished eating them, they're just not as appetizing when it's humid and sticky out.
I also had some black grapes and a handful of "health nut" mix. It's always funny to me how only certain nut blends are marketed as "healthy," when all types of nuts have nutritional benefits...ah, marketing.

Because my life has been rather unexciting lately, I thought I'd have some fun doing a survey today! Chelsey posted this yesterday, and I found it funny, albeit a bit gross...
1. What is your mom's best friend's name? To be honest, I don't really know who she considers to be her "best" friend...
2. Where is the weirdest place you have a mole? I have a really big flat one right behind my ear, hidden beneath my hair. My hairdressers always freak out and think I'm bleeding when they see it because it's kind of red.
3. Who was the hottest teacher you ever had? I have never had a hot male teacher. I think all-girls' schools tend to err on the safe side and don't hire many males...
4. Have you ever made out in a movie theater? I hate to confess to this, but I think we were all 15 once...
5. What body part do you wash first? My hair.
6. Do you hover over the toilet in public bathrooms? Depends on where I am. Nice restaurants, no. In the train station, yes.
7. What is the strangest talent you have? I'm not sure that this is a "talent," but I have a freakishly good memory.
8. Do you have an innie or outie? Innie.
9. Do you parallel park or drive around the block? Depends on how tight the space is!
10. What shoe do you put on first? Not a clue.
11. Have you ever been cow-tipping or snipe-hunting? No...
12. If you had to choose to never wash your bed sheets again or never wash your towel again, which would you rather not wash? Gross. Towel, for sure though. You can just hang out in the bathroom for awhile and let yourself air-dry.
13. What was your childhood nickname? Scabbers. After the rat/evil dude from Harry Potter. I can thank my big brother for that one.
| Me, age 8. |
15. Have you ever bitten your toenails? Duh, yeah, every day. It's the only way to cut them. Seriously?
16. How do you eat your cookie? I nibble around all the chocolate parts so that the last bite is full of them :)
17. When working out at the gym, do you wear a belt? Does anyone?
18. Name something you do when you're alone that you wouldn't do in front of others. Pick at my calluses. Gross, I know. It's a bad habit.
19. How often do you clean your ears? Maybe once a month or so? My doctor told me you're actually not supposed to often because it damages your ear drums over time...
20. Do you scrunch or fold your toilet paper? Scrunch.
21. Do you have any strange phobias? I have a really weird one that I think I've told some blog friends about, but I don't want to type it out on here because just writing it down gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Apparently there's no #22.
23. Do you freak out when you feel a sneeze coming on when you're driving? Nope. I'm a pretty calm driver in general!
Now tell me the answers to one of the above questions! I'm particularly interested to hear about your phobias...
