WOW! I was really, really tired when I got up this morning. I have a feeling that all of this running is going to take it's toll on me. I need to buck up! I also may need to increase my carbs over the month to keep me going strong. I did go ahead and get up at 4:45AM to walk Vlad (BLAH). We walked for 30 minutes - no ipod. I tried trance walking to get a little more shut eye. Didn't exactly work, but I did shut off my mind for some peace. :)
BREAKFAST
I had my usual breakfast this morning - though I am considering another try on oatmeal or oat bran. I have them on the grocery list for this week to see what I think. I'm going to do some research on some tasty oatmeal recipes. Not that I'm tired of this wonderful breakfast! It's just good to change up every now and then, I'm sure.
I had a TO DO list a mile long when I got to work this morning. Good thing is that I now (at 3PM) have everything crossed off of that list! YAY!
MORNING SNACK
I snacked on a Fiber One vanilla yogurt and a cup of grapes this morning around 10AM. Hit the spot.
LUNCH
I wanted to walk outside during lunch today - it's a beautiful, warm day out there! But, I had a couple of errands that needed to be run: car wash, bank, and gas. Bummer. Maybe I can walk tomorrow. Before heading out on errands I had a tasty, different lunch.
Toasted, Arnold Sandwich Thin with peanutbutter and bananas + carrots. This was a very tasty lunch! I loved it! :-D
No, I did NOT stop at Starbucks today for a coffee or tea after running errands. I really wanted to, but I controled myself for once. :)
AFTERNOON SNACK
Honeycrisp apple, Quaker Chocolate Chunk granola bar, and some YOGI green tea - GOJI Berry flavor.
Tonight I have a 5 mile run! OMG - I am so tired right now, running seems undoable. I must get energy. At least tomorrow is a REST day. I can't wait.

I learned to love oatmeal when I stopped eating that awful instant stuff and listened to my sister. She makes up big batches and puts them in small containers to take to work.
I usually just make a serving at a time because I have more time in the morning. So here is what I do...Bring one cup of water to a boil, add 1/2 cup of whole oats (I get them in the bulk aisle at Festival). Towards the end of the cooking time I will add some fruity goodness. I dice up a banana (my favorite) or an apple or pear. You can peel the apple or pear, but I don't. I will usually zap the apple or pear in the microwave for a minute before adding, but you don't need to. This fall and winter I was also using a 1/4 cup of canned pumpkin with some cinnamon which was super yummy.
I like to keep it simple, because the real oats are so hearty and filling.
Oh...I see I forgot to say that it all takes about 10 minutes to cook, lower the heat to medium when you add the oats.
