The Little Lunch That Couldn't

So the nice lunch I posted earlier today didn't end up happening. I guess the soup had been in the cupboard longer than I had thought, and the 2008 best before date made me think that maybe it wasn't the best choice. I ended up going out to Tim Hortons with some co-workers, and got some chicken noodle soup and a multigrain bagel with cream cheese. No picture though :( I also ended up eating all the snacks I had brought with my lunch other than the actual soup and ham.

When I got home I felt so hungry that I just wanted something very bulky that had a stick-to-your-ribs filling factor, so of course I went to pumpkin oats. I really bulked them up!

• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup soy milk
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
• 1/2 small banana
• 1 tbsp chia seeds

The bowl was huge and really filled me up. I love pumpkin oats :D

I was craving something sweet (as always) later at night, so I had the other half of the banana from my oats with some raw chocolate syrup.

It got really messy by the time I took the picture!

I kind of feel like I'm coming down with something, so I spent the night drinking tea and resting. Hopefully I feel better tomorrow, because it's almost the weekend and I want to enjoy my days off. Goodnight!

Pumpkin Oats

This morning I woke up and went for a run, which felt great. I woke up a little earlier than usual, and by the time I was ready to head outside my stomach was growling, so I had a few almonds to tide me over.

When I got back I was ravenous, so I hopped in the shower quickly and then made a big bowl of pumpkin oats with a cup of green tea.

In the oats:

• 1/3 cup quick oats
• 1/3 cup vanilla almond milk
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/3 cup canned pumpkin
• 1/2 small banana
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tbsp roasted pumpkin seeds
• scoop of nonfat yogurt
• 2/3 tbsp peanut butter
• handful Kashi GoLean Crunch

I have a lot of studying to do today! I see an iced coffee in my future ...
