I have been such a bad blogger, I’m sorry. This past week was beyond busy, and then Friday I was running all around with class, study sessions, and getting ready for our party!! Then Saturday was spent cleaning, sleeping, and recoupering for that night. And now here we are on Sunday! Okay, so to recap, the past few days – I can’t believe I haven’t blogged since Wednesday?! Oh dear me.
A few of Thursday’s eats included
Pumpkin oats (to celebrate National oatmeal day, of course)

Topped with the usual, plus a sliver of a Pecan Berry Bran muffin I picked up last week and froze.

Delicious.
That massive bowl held me over for hours! I’m usually hungry for a snack in my lab, about 2-2 1/2 hours post breakfast, but I didn’t need to eat until I got home after class.
Toasted sandwich thin and scrambled egg whites + 1 egg and cheese.

I topped with sandwich thing with a smear of yogurt butter + this garlic cheese seasoning I have. And a slice of pepperjack cheese. Tasted just like garlic bread – delish!

Mmmm ketchup

I cheated…on pumpkin. I got a 1 pump peppermint Americano – one of my very favorite drinks I like to save for the holiday season.

While cramming for my Friday midterm.
Cottage cheese + cereal + almond/pine nut/pumpkin seed nut mix.

Dinner at work – Kashi curry rice pilaf with chicken, salsa, & cheddar cheese.

And a banana whip dessert

Friday’s breakkie.

2 vans multigrain waffles topped with cream cheese, banana slices, and pumpkin “frosting”.

For the frosting, I just mixed some pumpkin, greek yogurt, cinnamon, and maple syrup.

And then I hit the gym for another interval treadmill workout. I won’t post it, but it was mostly alternating:
-
.25 miles @ 6.0 mph
-
.25 miles @ 8 or 8.5 mph
Of course there were other speeds, warm up, cool down, and .25 mile of walking in there, but you get the drift. I ended up going 5 miles, which is close to my longest I’ve gone since my knee incident. It felt awesome, and intervals really help with making the miles pass faster on the TM (knock on wood).
Post workout snackie while last minute cramming for my midterm!

(I lived off of coffee this past week).
Then I was so busy the rest of the day (study session, hair-cut, picking up last minute things for our party..), I completely forgot to take pictures of my lunch and snacks. And I had the best salad too! Whoops! I did remember to snap a quick one of dinner. Went with my roommates when they picked up Panda Express, and honestly could not turn down the delicious smell of Chinese food!
String bean chicken, Sweet & fiery chicken, veggies, and only a few bites of the fried rice. Plus a fortune cookie of course
My roommate said that you’re supposed to be able to say “in bed” after every fortune, and they all make sense, or are funny. Well mine read:
“You will soon achieve something you’ve always wanted”…in bed. LOL. We had a good laugh

Then it was party time!! But I’ll recap the Halloween portion of the weekend in my next post
We shall just say that Saturday post-party wasn’t too hot. And I couldn’t stomach to eat anything all day until dinner. When I finally managed some yogurt + cereal. And some candy of course (all unpictured – I was way out of it yesterday).
Of course, this morning I woke up starving, after eating hardly anything yetserday. So oats it was. (This pic was one from Thursday – my camera unfortunately died last night
Charging it now!)

So sorry for the long delay in posting – since this one was so long (and since I don’t have the Halloween pictures yet), I’ll do a separate Festive post later on
How was everyone else’s weekend?? What did you all do/dress up as?
