I woke up this morning not hungry at all from last night’s fullness and had decided I’d work out first thing to be productive and go to cycle since I haven’t been in a while.
But I didn’t wanna 👿
I wanted to eat breakfast despite not being hungry.
Came downstairs. Debated.
Finally my brain made a huge bowl of oatmeal, ignoring my stomach’s protest.
- 1/2 cup oats
- Water
- Pinch salt
- 1 tbsp chia
- 1/2 banana
- Handful blueberries
- 1/3 cupish Daisy Cottage Cheese
- Spoonful VeggieGirl‘s Almond Haze
Perfectly frothed French press Spring Blend
Yum yum.
But now I’m too full to move! Intuitive Eating effort gets a C+ this morning.

Calling all CPAs!
I am looking for someone who might be interested in helping me with the Summit taxes. The less we spend having someone do the taxes, the more we can donate to good causes! Payment would be a loaf of Matt’s bread 🙂 I do my own taxes so it should really be more of look over of the itemized ledger and any advice than actually “doing” the taxes. Email me at KathEats at Gmail if you’re interested in helping out.

After this summer, I just wanna stay home. No more traveling!!
Off to work!
Erica says
ugh! I hope you digest quickly!!! I wish I was a CPA- I’d love more Matt’s bread 😉
Hey I may be coming up to Charlotte for Body Pump Training the first weekend in November!! I will let you know
Runeatrepeat says
I am still learning everyday to listen to my Intuitive Eater. It’s very interesting to hear your experiences (good or bad) too. Thanks 🙂
Courtney says
It’s funny how when I worked full time I was always HUNGRY for breakfast early in the morning. Now that I’m at home, I have to make myself eat sometimes. That isn’t exactly intuitive eating and I’m glad you brought this up. Most of the time if I’m not hungry for breakfast I make msyelf eat mainly for “fuel” for my day.
Cute new cupcake pic too!

i hate when that happens! sometimes i do that, but no worries – go get your workout in and move on!
trust me, i will be no help with taxes, but if i know somebody who is, i will send them your way!
VeggieGirl says
I’m feeling “stomach issues” too from last night’s celebration meal – hang in there!!
Glad you still had an appetite for the Almond Haze though, haha 😀
Cynthia (It all changes) says
I get that way with food and exercise. I’m full but my mind tells me to eat anyway because “I have to.” And I wanna exercise but my body is saying “No way Jose.” Interesting times.
Cait (Cait's Plate) says
Mmm – if I had that bowl of oats waiting for me I’d skip a workout too!
I love that bowl so much!
Eve says
I’m sure you will feel less full soon! Sometimes it’s good to get back on track like you did with a normal breakfast, otherwise it comes back to haunt you later on!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
I would have done the same thing — breakfast always wins 😉
MelissaNibbles says
The Almond Haze looks like heaven! I would’ve made room for it too.
I’ve been struggling with Intuitive Eating lately as well. Knowing I’m not the only one is helping me work through it. Thanks Kath!
brandi says
If I knew how to do taxes, I would help! I hope someone can do it- maybe I should just pretend so I can get some bread? 🙂
Suzanne says
Great article on ‘air fare’!
But, how do you keep everything from going bad?
It seems like you pack multiple meals with yogurt, sandwiches, etc. (that can go bad). And it seems like hours between packing it, travelling to the airport, boarding, etc…before you eat your food.
I have an insulated lunch bag and those things that you stick in the freezer, but I am still paranoid that my food will go bad.
I doubt you carry a cooler with you, right? How long can sandwiches, yogurt, etc. be out of the fridge safely?
Thanks!
Lizzy says
i dont like the days that i wake up hungry, it sort of throws me off for the entire day! i hope you digest quick
AnnQ says
Your coffee looks so good! it makes me wish I’d gone up to my company cafe for them to make me one !
Christie @ Quit Your Diet says
I know how hard it is to honor our bodies signals and sometimes I eat breakfast even when I am not hungry. But, the beauty of really listening to our bodies is trusting that it will balance out in the end the choices we make that go against the internal wisdom we already have. So, today, you consciously decided to eat when you were not hungry, later, you may not feel as hungry as you normally would so if you listen to your body, and not outside factors like time or the diet mentality, you will probably feel less hungry and automatically eat less. That is the wonderful thing, if we truly listen to our bodies, it will speak loud and clear.
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
It’s always difficult to work out the brain and stomach’s needs, but I’m sure I would have done the same thing as you and fueled up right away in the morning! Have a fabulous Tuesday!
Julie says
Damn, I wish I was a cpa so I could get some bread!! Every time you mention you use daisy cottage cheese I get the jingle stuck in my head.
Pam (Highway to Health) says
That coffee looks amazing. Today could possibly be a two cup day for me!!
C+ for Intuitive eating is better than an F right??
Jenn (www. j3nn.net ) says
I can’t remember the last time I woke up and wasn’t ravenous 😳 I kind of miss those days! lol
As a small business owner, I can say that taxes suck and I feel your pain. 🙁 Just wait until you guys open up your bakery! 😯 In NY state we pay 40% taxes (fed + state), 8.25% sales tax and then of course school and property taxes and a slew of other taxes. It ends up being that 60-80% of our taxes go to the gov in one way or another. Yet another reason why I’m a Libertarian. 🙂
Anything that is truly a business expense you can write off (business lunches/dinners, office equipment, servers, etc. etc.,) and part of your home office that you use for work (e.g., 25% of the cost of the room you use as an office ((the mortgage %, electricity, etc.)). Maybe invest in an inexpensive tax book from Amazon.com or something. We pay a CPA to do our taxes, but we still have to give him a list of our expenses. We need to hire someone that’s more aggressive lol. 🙄
If no one contacts you with CPA help, you can email me a list of your expenses. I can try to help but I’m not an expert like a CPA would be. 🙂

Hi Kath! What do the chia seeds do to the oats?
Rebecca says
Hope your tummy feels better soon!!
Jenna says

Beth @ CrossBorderCravings says
awww, those cupcakes turned out gorgeous! nice work :O). now i’m craving one – uh oh!
Angelica says
A loaf of bread for a CPA to help with taxes? Next time, factor that into the budget. You ate and drank like queens for 3 days, and you offer a loaf of bread? LOL
Pam says
AH! I hate when my stomach is at war with my brain. Sometimes you just have to let the stomach win (especially when oatmeal is on the brain)!
Kath says
Suzanne ,
Things like yogurt or a meat-filled sandwich I wouldn’t go longer than early morning to lunch time (and I don’t keep them chilled). But things like PB&J and fruit can go all day and be fine.

Kath says
Jenn ,
60-80%!! HOLY MOLY!!!
Amy ,
They gel a little, but not a whole lot. I just like ’em in there.
Jenna ,
If my stomach is growling, I eat. If it’s not, then I’m fine.
Angelica ,
We DID save money for taxes and CPA fees, but we are donating whatever is left to charity and were thinking that the less we spent, the more we could donate.

i had the same conversation between my brain and my tummy this morning….
Madelin @ What is for breakfast? says
I always have this battle 🙁
Leigh says
I just passed the CPA exam, and after surviving that nightmare I have to say a loaf of bread is not enough 🙂
I don’t have my license yet so can’t help unfortunately. Hopefully I’m not the only bean counter who reads your blog 🙂
