Welcome back, everyone!
What was the highlight of your long weekend?It seemed, thankfully, to last foreeeeever, and I am actually feeling ready to head back to work! 
After several days of indulging, I always welcome getting back into a routine. Eating at set times throughout the day, always knowing there’s healthy options available, and of course, making time for exercise! That started early today with a fabulous morning Mom walk, and Blueberry Banana Overnight Oats!
In the mix:
- 1 banana, smashed
- 1/3 cup dry old fashioned oats
- 1 Fat-Free Raspberry Cheesecake AE yogurt
- Frozen blueberries
- Sliced almonds
Made the same way per usual. Gotta love a cool, creamy breakfast, that’s ready for you when you walk out the door. 
For lunch, I’m taking my leftover salad from Upstream Brewery. Who knew so many of you had eaten there before!?
Chewy prosciutto, tangy artichokes and fresh veggies. Oooo, I should have added some of my fresh goat cheese on there! Oh well, that just means there’s more for later. 
This was definitely a two-meal salad if I ever saw one.
My Mom is still in “3 children” mode whenever she cooks, so there’s always a TON of leftovers to take home when we eat at my parent’s place. Luckily, that means fresh fruit salad for me!
If only I’d taken some of that dirt cake too…
Nerd alert: I brought American Wife with me today to read during lunch time. I’m already getting sad as I’m starting the second half of the book. I HATE finishing good novels. It makes me depressed for a couple days – I get so wrapped up in the characters and their stories, I never want to say goodbye – know what I mean?!
