Wish I felt as pretty as this bowl looks –
I only had 2.5 drinks last night, but geez, I sure don’t feel/look that great this morning. I slept until 9:30!! Although I didn’t go to bed until 1am, so that’s about the 8 hours I needed.
But the SUN is out and it’s a surprisingly warm 64* out already!!! I stepped out onto the patio thinking I’d take a photo out there and then move to the kitchen table and I expected a blast of cold air – not so! I got a blast of warm air and got to eat out there too 🙂
It was too late in the AM to do yoga this morning and I was hungry, so we came down and made breakfast ASAP.
The mix:
- 1/3 cup oats (with some 9 grain mixed in), milk, water, banana, salt
- 1 date
- 1/2 cup pumpkin, stirred in at end
- 2 tbsp cottage cheese, stirred in at end
- Cinnamon
- Coconut butter
- Flax
- And Pumpkin Raisin Crunch – for some crunch!
- Oh, and Barney Butter!
Going to chug some water now.
Today’s Agenda:

haya (living and learning) says
ohhhhh! i am beyond jealous of your beautiful weather! it is lovely and sunny here today and my 10 mile run in the morning sunshine was nice, but it was a chilly 34° and i did have to wear liner gloves + headband + neckwarmer.

I sent you an email about the PB2 trade. Not sure if you got it.
It’s warm here too but for some reason on Wed is supposed to go down to 40! What’s up with that?

rebecca (unintuitiveeating) says
hey kath,
i just blogged about a recent ADA article linking vegetarianism in teens to an increased likelihood of later developing an eating disorder… and i’m wondering what your thoughts are (and/or your thoughts on my thoughts– my entry is below):

Michelle Hisae says
Sounds like a fun and active day! Nothing like exercise planned around a trip to TJ’s! I love it!
Kath says
Emily ,
Thanks! A restaurant could be in our retirement plans 🙂
rebecca ,
I don’t really know that I’m in a position to make any decisions about what does or doesn’t cause eating disorders (wish I had time to read the whole study) but I don’t think a style of eating would “cause” an eating disorder. Rather, I think those with the propensity towards an eating disorder would gravitate toward eating styles that cut out entire food groups, vegetarian included. Thanks for sharing.
Tracy ,
Check the FAQ page!
thepinkpeppercorn ,
Aw, thanks 🙂

rebecca (unintuitiveeating) says
hi kath,
just one more food for thought (please note that i’m not trying to reject your viewpoint… rather i value it highly!)… i posted this as a response on my blogpost but in case you didn’t see..
oh i definitely do think that there are many healthy vegetarians, i am just questioning their reasoning… and i actually went back and edited my 95%/5% figures, thinking that i may have been a bit extreme =).
i DO believe that the style of eating CAN cause the ED in those that are already susceptible to a disorder. take my sister and me for example… our mother clearly has food issues and is clearly underweight… and yet my sister turned out ED-less, and i won the ED prize. both of us were at a higher risk than the average girl with a healthy/non-disordered mother. so my point is, perhaps had both of us grown up without that influence, we might have both escaped an eating disorder, and i think the same is true for dieting and (perhaps to a lesser extent) vegetarianism. dieting for me was a very dangerous thing to do, given my predisposition, and i think most teens who take on vegetarianism probably do not have enough information/experience to make healthy choices… and that puts them at risk.
i do agree the person may also gravitate to the style of eating… i just think it does work both ways.

These photos look AMAZING!!

Nature’s Path Pumpkin Raisin Crunch is one of my all-time favorite cereals – Iyum!
