Good morning guys – Happy Monday!
Well my Mom had to go into work early this morning, so I didn’t have a walk to get me started…but I did have Chocolate Peanut Butter coffee!! Seriously, this stuff is unbelievable. It smells and tastes just like a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup – which happens to be my favorite chocolate candy!
I paired my fabby fab coffee with a fabby fab bowl of Almond Biscotti Oatmeal!
In the mix:
- 1/2 cup each oats, skim milk & water
- splash of vanilla & cinnamon
- 1 medium banana
- 1 crumbled almond biscotti
- 2 dried apricots
- Drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup
Oh gosh – the texture of the creamy oats, crunchy biscotti and chewy apricots was awesome!!
This was just what I needed to start my morning off right 
For lunch I packed a salad with:
- Mixed greens
- 1 HEWge cucumber
- ~1/2 cup red grapes
- Mozz cheese
I LOVE sweet additions to my salads! Do you like sweet salads?
I also packed a Vanilla Bean yogurt
and a Braeburn apple, natch!
Yesterday I missed my long run – eek! – so today I’m heading out for my seven miler. I’ve updated my training schedule (scroll to the bottom) for week six. I can hardly believe that it’s week six already!!!! My week five was kind of all over the place with replacing runs with bike rides and taking a couple days off. Oh well, as long as I’m active, I’m pretty happy. This week is really ramping up the mileage though, it’s going to be a doozy!
You guys, I miss Mama Mia – I just can’t get over how good it was! My car CD player/radio is busted too so I can’t even listen to the soundtrack on my morning commute, bust! I think I’ll bring it into work to listen on my computer…I’ll be singing show tunes all day!

Alright everybody, let’s escape on this Monday morning shall we? If you could go on vacation anywhere in the world right now – where would you go?
Fueled by my love for Mama Mia (told you I was an obsessed 12 year old) I would go to wonderful, enchanting, exciting Greece! (that’s where the musical/move is set!)
Have a wonderful Monday morning everyone!
I’d go to NYC. I have the urge to get totally lost in a big city right now.
That oatmeal looks so good. I want some!
seeing as it’s not summer in Australia right now. I’d have to pick Greece. mmmmm the food is amazing there.
I’d love to go somewhere like Fiji… Sadly, because we live so far away from our immediate family, most of our vacation time is spent visiting them.
Love the oats! It looks like a dessert concoction–mmmm!
I’d go to Maui! It’s my dream to go to Hawaii, and I’ll get there someday
Back to South Africa to the bush and go on safari
I want to travel around Asia!
I smiled when I saw your lunch since mine is nearly identical. I am addicted to adding the grapes to my salad, though instead of the cheese I have tuna to add the protein. I like dipping my apple into my yogurt. I am glad you liked the show. I saw the show a couple of years ago before the movie came out and couldn’t help but think about it the whole time I was in Greece.
You have to tell me where i can get that coffee.. what brand is it?
I would go to europe or maybe Isreal. Both I want to go to its just a matter of time.
Mmm! Your coffee sounds delish!
I would have to agree with you on going to Greece! I absolutely LOVED that movie! I wish I could see it on Broadway!
1. I, too, need to know more about this coffee.
2. Seeing AE made me die a little inside.
3. I would like to go to Japan, but everyone else should come to Zambia!
I have got to order some of that coffee! Sounds fabulous!! I love adding sweet fruit to my salad, makes such a great flavor combo!!
I would LOVE to go to Hawaii!!
I’ve always wanted to go to Greece. The beaches and cute white houses just look so relaxing and fun. Plus, I have read that they have the best yogurt!
Why do you take the seeds out of your cucumbers?
