Happy Friday!

I hope yours is off to a great start 🙂 Mine already is!

Oatmeal (Love Grown Super Oats to be exact!) totally sounded delicious this morning and I don’t think I’ve had it all week.  When I opened the peanut butter jar, there hardly any in the jar which meant that the jar was perfect for just one thing…oats in a jar!! 🙂  So delish!  I made my egg white banana oats on the stove then just dumped them into the jar.  Super simple and super delicious.

I also decided to take an impromptu rest day from working out…or at least rest morning.  Brian and I planned on running 4 miles together this morning, but I just needed the extra sleep.  Maybe we will get our jog on tonight?

Anyways…I don’t have much planned for this weekend because I am in study study study mode.  I’m in the final month of my prerequisite courses and I cannot wait to be done 🙂  I hope you have something more fun planned for the weekend!

Here are some Five Things Friday 🙂

Five Things I Ate:

• Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps (I’m back on the low FODMAP train)

• Breakfast smoothie (frozen banana, half packet of chocolate vega one, 1 cup coconut milk, 1 Tbsp peanut butter)

• Coconut flour pancakes

• Avocado chicken salad…recipe coming soon! (before I hopped back on the low FODMAP train)

• Spinach Salad with homemade spiced nuts, blueberries, strawberries, clementine, and salmon. So summery and so good!

Five Workouts I Did:

• Taught Bodypump twice
• Boot Camp
• Indoor Cycling
• Running
• Took an impromptu rest day 🙂

Five Things Making Me Happy

• Almost done with classes for this semester.  Seriously guys…I.Can’t.Wait.
• Puppy playdates

On Monday, Brian and I met up with a few other Vizsla owners and let our pups play.  There were three puppies (including Bernie) and one older Vizsla that was about 8 years old.  So adorable!!! I loved watching them play.

• Possible movie night tonight!  Because I am studying all day tomorrow and Sunday, tonight I am taking some time off and hanging out with Brian and Bernie to watch a movie…any suggestions?
• The New Girl.  Have you guys watched this show?!  It’s so stinkin’ funny!  I love that the episodes are just 21 minutes long on Netflix.  Makes for a great little “treat” before bed time 🙂
• the Skimm.  I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned the Skimm on here before, but I seriously love it.  I am SO bad at watching the news because I typically get up in the morning, go to the gym, come home, shower, and start studying immediately after I eat/take Bernie out, etc and I never turn on the TV.  I love that the Skimm gives me the important news highlights in under 10 minutes.
