This week has been a madhouse.
3 midterms + 1 quiz + 1 research paper review write up + a 9 page case study write up for clinical nutrition = WTF are you thinking teachers?!
I promise tonight & tomorrow during my study breaks I will try and catch up on the massive amount of posts that have accumulated for me to read.
On a more happy note, I cotinued my Wednesday overnight oat tradition.
To-Go style
(Chipped mug 😦 )
Today’s topping included 1 cinnamon apple microwaved, cereal, and the last of my pumpkin cream cheese (must buy more ASAP!)
The Oikos container was just used as a travel method.
Midterm #1 was pretty killer. It was such boring, awful information that all I had to do was memorize…but really didn’t. And 40/80 questions were True/False. Seriously?
I miss running fast. Freeee flyin at the gym:
- .25 mile walk warmup
- 1/2 mile 6 mph
- 1/2 mile 6.5 mph
- 1/4 mile 7 mph
- 1/4 mile 8 mph
- 1/4 mile 6 mph
- 1/4 mile 8 mph
- 1/4 mile 6 mph
- .25 mile walk
- 1/4 mile 6 mph
- 1/4 mile 8 mph
- 1/4 mile 6 mph
- 1/4 mile 8 mph
- 1/4 mile 8.5 mph
- 1/4 mile 6 mph
Total: 3.75 miles running. I doubt you read my workout above. I just felt like posting it, so let’s just pretend you read it, okay?
Snackie while last minute cramming for Midterm #2 (which went better than the first test. I think).
Since I got out of class early due to the test, I decided to embark upon an adventure!
I must live a sad life if I consider this an adventure.
Adventure or not, it yielded a crap load of stringy things.
The Trader Joe’s worker did comment on how I bought “quite the squash” when he saw how big it was. If they’re all the same price, you bet I would pick out the biggest one I could find.
Yay! Now I get to eat faux pasta every night for the next week!
While this was cookin’ in the microwave, I quickly threw together a lunch of Kashi curry rice pilaf + salsa + FF sour cream:
And a Chocolate PB cup vitatop with a little bit of extra sunbutter 😉
Work…Michael’s to pick up something for this weekend…then dinner.
Sauteed broccoli + peas + pasta sauce + parm cheese over my squashy.
Mmmm veggie overload.
I think I had mine, yours, and the lady next door’s week’s worth of sodium in this meal. All I wanted afterwards was water…and a little somethin’ sweet.
Snackage will occur later this night, and I’ll bet you $100 it will be hot chocolate + something with nut butter. Tip: don’t accept this bet since it’s pretty much what I have every night.
In other news, I came across an article in US magazine yesterday (read during my study break) about this little cartoon sketch that Fox aired showing a teammate poking fun at Tony Romo for dating Jessica Simpson “after she blew up bigger than [player] Flozell Adams” and also asking “Hey, is Jessica around? We could use a defensive tackle.” Honestly? I was shocked that anyone would really play something like this. Sure, Jessica Simpson has had some ups and downs with her weight, but so have we all. She’s a beautiful woman, and has been through so much criticism over the years. Give her a break! What good are such comments are leading to? What are your thoughts on this cartoon?
great workout! love changing things up on the tm so it’s not boring.
and i hate it when ppl make fun on celebrities weights. sure, it’s a celebrity’s job to “look good” but making fun of them? incredibly childish in my opinion. and it has a trickle down effect on kids that look up to her. not cool at all
Jessica Simpson has been pretty smokin’ hot through it all.
Now that I love your eats and your proactive approach to that negative-ness towards J Simps. Please please please read my latest blog post for Runners! It’s super important to me especially because this girl is my friend!
I for sure always buy the biggest one too, haha.
I was disgusted by the cartoon. I personally love Jessica Simpson and think she is way more beautiful now than she was as a stick thin ‘Daisy Duke’. It makes me ill to think about the message this cartoon was sending adults and most importanly, young children, about weight.
I could go on and on, but I’ll spare everybody 🙂
Awesome run!! You’ve had a busy week at school.. yikes!! but looks like you’ve had some awesome eats to make up for it!
What kind of cereal is ontop of your yorgut/oats!?
Hmm I need to get me some spaghetti squash, pronto!
Just a dumb cartoon, ’tis all.
Ahh what are your teachers trying to do to you?! Good luck tay!Oh my good the vita top looks so gooey and delish my taste buds are jealous!
Yeah, I’m a huge dork and read the details of everyone’s workouts. I did HIIT on the treadmill for the first time in almost a year the other day. It was SO much fun. You’re right, sometimes you just gotta run FAST! 😀
Ha, all my mugs are chipped. That’s how I got them for free when I worked at Starbucks! 😛
I think it’s really sad. It shows how obsessed our society has become with looking “perfect” all the time. If a girl as beautiful and with a body that most American women would kill for (even at her heaviest) gets made fun of for being “fat” then what does that say about the rest of the average women out there? It’s a terrible image to send out to women, especially young girls. I understand that it’s a celebrity’s job to look good, but at the same time, they are still human. She’s a real woman who struggles with the same things all the rest of us struggle with.
The squash dish looks amaaaazing!
I think that cartoon is ridiculous and awful. Poking fun at one’s weight combined with complete sexism is repulsive. Haha wow, I didn’t even know it bothered me that much until just now!
mmmm eats to be envied through out the day!
i love your mug too! :p
cartoons like that are dumb. i try not to even give them any of my time. peeps have nothing better to do than sit around and make fun of people…stupid.
however, i love your yog combo + i might have to try cream cheese on the oats soon. pumpkin cream cheese if i can find it 🙂
OMG. What a crazy week you had! But you survived..yahoo!
Man. That cartoon. I’m sorry, but people are just damn CRUEL sometimes. Jessica Simpson is NOT fat, and not only does this really hurt her feelings, it sends of a negative image about body shape and beauty to the society that is ALREADY pretty much skewed in its beauty perception!
Great job on the run – you are a serious running rockstar!
I totally LOL at your squash experience.
I LOVE the bee bowl – super cute!
love the eats, sunbutter on vitatop now THATS an idea!!!
amazing job on your run, Tay
LOL the comment from the TJ’s worker about the squash, well it looks fabulous!!!
thougghts on the cartoon-pshh i love jessica and she has stayed strong through it all, she should brush it off and laugh at those people!!
also my google reader is not updating my posts but I am still updating everyday!!
Hi! I am FINALLY back to blogging…yeah! I have a lot of your posts to get caught up on, but I just wanted to say hello. I love spaghetti squash…your post got me craving it!
o how i long to have a vita! Love that you added sunbutter to it! Call me crazy, but what does sunbutter taste like!? i’ve never tired!

Ack, you sure have quite the load of homework. Hopefully you’ll be able to relax and take a break this weekend. Spaghetti squash is awesome! And I checked out that comic sketch and it’s pretty low of them to bash Jessica Simpson like that…low indeed!
TJ’s workers always make the funniest comments about the food I buy…”quite the squash” is definitely better than any of the comments I’ve gotten though!
Sorry about all the hw, they love to pile it on in the end of the semester!
Yay that your tests are over for the week! I hate how everything always seems to due in/happening in the same week!
Jem
Tay–are those quaker oatmeal squares in your yogi mess?? Those are my FAVE-O-RITE!!! They were on sale the other week at my local cheapie mart, and I got like 4 boxes–did you know they have a maple flavor?? Happy Friday, friend! xoxo
Yummy squash totally my dinner tonight 😉 I don’t like Jess but she’s far from fat. She’s got curves deal with it. She looks crazy bad when she is a stick. My only complaint is she tries to dress smaller then she is instead of embracing her curvy gorgeous body!
I totally read your workout and LOVED it! Saving it to possibly repeat in the near future 😉
I love you 🙂
My squash wasn’t as photogenic as yours lol I may have to borrow a camera if mine doesn’t start working.
Aww poor chipped coffee mug! LOL at the TJ worker 🙂
I think that cartoon is bogus. People need to lay off her:( Besides, she’s smokin’!
HATE T/F….love Kashi GoLean Bars! 😀
