Carbs Are My Friends

I got a slow start this morning, but because of it I've had some very focused and productive hours this afternoon. To start off, I had a cup of coffee with a splash of 1% milk while I checked emails, watched the Today show and talked to my mom. After about half an hour I made some oatmeal. I usually use a combination of water and milk, so this was 1/2 cup old fashioned oats, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup 1% milk. I topped my oatmeal with a big spoonful of peanut butter, apple slices and cinnamon. It was so filling that I didn't need anything else until lunch about 3 1/2 hours later...that is a long time for me to go without snacks!


For lunch I finally finished my leftover zucchini and squash by having another bowl of pasta. After oatmeal and pasta I feel full of carbs, and am looking forward to a protein and veggie packed dinner. 


After lunch I had a hankerin' for something sweet, so I had about 1/3 cup of the trail mix I made yesterday to eat during class. 

Nothing too exciting, but I'm planning on making a big dinner tonight after I get out of yoga, so stay tuned!
