Good Heaven’s, the birds were chirping so loud this morning, I could hear them all the way in my bathroom as I was getting ready! 
If you could be an animal, what would you be? I think being a bird would be a pretty good choice. Chill out in the south for the winter, head north for the summer. Fly anywhere you want to go… Sounds like a pretty nice gig, if you ask me. 
In other news, last night I whipped up this morning’s breakfast of Banana-Berry Overnight Oats!
In the mix:
- 1 Raspberry AE yogurt
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats (uncooked)
- 1/2 Tablespoon chia seeds
- splash almond milk
- 1 banana
- frozen raspberries
- frozen blueberries
Overnight, the berries melted into the yogurt and created an extra special berry sauce. Omg, no words. Ok, one word - Tropical! Plus, raspberry + banana is my favorite combo mmm, ever, so this breakfast was legendary!
Here’s my “how to” guide on overnight oats. Basically, you mix the main ingredients together and put it in the fridge overnight. How simple is that? 
For lunch, I’m packing some leftover Spring Stir Fry!
This stir fry made four, massive portions, clocking in at around 320 calories a portion – nice! I just read a quote yesterday (I forget where) that said “I’ve never seen anyone gain weight from eating too many vegetables.” It’s true, vegetables are our friends!
This shall be a healthy, and filling lunch. I can always tell when I incorporate healthy fats like almond butter or, in the case of this lunch, olive oil, because I feel satisfied longer. What about you? I can even tell that with salad dressings. My salads last me longer, fullness wise, when they’re dressed with a simple, olive oil vinaigrette vs some brand of Kraft dressing with a million ingredients.
This snack duo of popcorn and a Fuji apple was a total winner yesterday. I spaced them out for snacks at 1:30 and 2:30 – which worked out great. No rogue, iced, office brownies for me. 
Well I have to head out a little bit early today. A friend of mine just had a baby girl and I need to drop off a gifty for her. Oh babies – they’re so cute! I had so much fun looking at all the tiny little baby booties and pink outfits. Squeal! Don’t get any ideas though…
It’s hump day!

My answers:
1. Yes, but not for a little while. And I feel like I could only handle 2!
2. Knock on wood…no.
3. Banana-Berry OO! I demolished that bowl, I’m telling you!
Yay for TQT!!
1. I definitely want kids! The fiance and I will be married in June and want (have) to wait a few years until I graduate grad school. I’m sure it’s for the best! We want at least 2 but probably 3-4. He has always had this crazy feeling that we will have twins! Yikes for me! I hope not! Haha.
2. Don’t believe in aliens
3. Last thing I ate was some dark choc. chips!
1) I’d like to someday have 1-2 children. I think it all depends on the gender of the first. Is that bad?
2) No. I believe in LOST.
3) Lentils!
I’d want to be a cheetah because then I could run super fast!!!
hahaha

3. Eating now, a True Blue salad.
I would be a penguin, they’re so cute! I stay full longer with healthy fats, too. Such a fun trick! And re: veggies. I tell my diabetic patients that all the time. “Don’t count your greens as carbs…no one became a diabetic from eating too much broccoli or cabbage!”
1. Do you want, or do you have, any children? How many?
I am so torn on this. Totally depends on the day. I do someday, but it’s not today…maybe 5 years??
2. Do you believe in aliens?
Nah.
3. What’s the last thing you ate?
Leftover Chicken Shawarma pita – yum!
3 question Thursday has come a day early! Ha! 1) I do not have kids & do not want any! I’m that strange woman who never wants to hold the new baby! Although I do have the unusual knack of finding & helping lost children. Shopping malls, Wally World, the beach, Menards, you name it I’ve probably found a lost child there! Weird. 2) I don’t not believe…I’ve just never seen one…that I know of! 3) Left over cavatelli from QV’s, & a Mt. Dew!
Oh…I forgot to say that I believe in my next life I will be a Blue Jay! They are so beautiful….and cranky! Ha!
