Good morning! Happy Thursday 
Currently nomming on some delicious and decadent oatmeal:
This little beauty right here has 1/4 c. oat bran, 1/4 rolled oats, 1 c. water, 1 small banana, flax, hemp powder, and stevia in it! Topped with raisins, organic jam, a T. of raw almond butter, and 1/2 T. coconut butter. Told ya it was decadent!
But I most certainly need the fuelage. Just got back from a quick 4 mile run at the gym! Then, I saw I only had 15 minutes left for upper body, so I did a couple supersets that would get me the most bang for my buck and was out the door and driving back home!
Got a busy one today and tonight…but after today, it’s smooth sailing into BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!! 
Speaking of birthday festivities, yesterday’s continued on with a FOOD DAY at work! At the office, we have “food days” where everyone brings in a treat in honor of the birthdays that month.
I brought in some exceptionally delicious goodies:
Scones and bars, m’friends.
I passed on all the food to get in this good breakfast:
Overnight Oats! Eaten at my desk. Lovely.
However, there was some noshing throughout the day…

How CUTE are those cookies?!?! Squeee…
For lunch, I was already being a little snackie monster, so I just went with a simple, but delicious and nutritious, green monster:
After I got home from work and from training a client, there were even MORE birthday shenanigans. But this time, not for me, for my friend, Amanda! However, it was at Alexander’s Steakhouse, and they have absolutely zero veggie-friendly options (like, NONE) so I decided to have my own dinner beforehand:
Spinach, mushrooms, zuchinni, hummus, and one egg + one egg white, hot sauce. Plus a side of veggie baked beans. Hit the spot;)
But I totally helped Amanda celebrate with a second liquid dinner:
Times dos.
Well everyone, I gotta jet…running late, late, late! For a very important…well, work.
Have a fabulous Thursday, all!! Almost Friday – hang in there
That dinner looks delicious- it’s so small though! How do you get your scrambled egg to stick together like that? Liquid dinner is definitely acceptable as a carb reload!

It was a tad on the small side. Forgot to add that I ended up eating a piece of brown bread to dip in the beans
I just whip the eggs together before cooking!
