It was hard getting up this morning, but I was awake at 5:30 to get in some yoga before class. I did 40 minutes of Hip Opening Flow #4 from YogaDownload. It felt soooo good. And was a great flow. Recommended!
I sent Matt on his way to work a 12 hour day at 6:30 – dressed in tie-dye
He left this Lemon Poppyseed Tea Cake from Great Harvest for my mom to have for breakfast as a treat.
Which we promptly crumbled over oatmeal!
The mix (serves 1)
- 1/3 cup oats, milk, water, half banana, pinch salt
- 1/3 cup pumpkin
- 2 tbsp cottage cheese
- Vanilla
- Cinnamon
- 2 tbsp crumbled tea cake
- 1 tbsp flax
- 1 tbsp almonds
- Spoonful Barney Butter
And new placemat!

Question: I was just sitting here thinking. I ALWAYS have trouble figuring out exactly how much exercise I should get while trying to lose weight vs maintain weight(this is probably a no brainer). Sometimes I think I over do it just end up making myself REALLY hungry, which causes me to eat, which causes me to not lose weight. Do you remember how much daily/weekly exercise you did while losing weight? Or at least have advice for how much is a reasonable amount? Thanks!
Have fun taking your mom to class!! : )
Bec says
so bright, so bright!
Maureen says
It’s like being in middle-school again! (with your parents tagging along to school and all)

HeatherBakes says
Have fun with your parents- love that your mom is tagging along to class! We used to have our parents come to class on parents’ weekend in college and it was always interesting. Have a great weekend!
Alisa - Frugal Foodie says
Cake on oatmeal? I love it!
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
Mmm, I love lemon-poppy seed. Now I’m hungry for a muffin!
Hooray for the weekend 🙂
Jennifer says
I notice your PB spoonfuls have been getting smaller over the past few weeks. Is there a reason?
Kori (All Things B.) says
Just when I think you’ve reached the end of the oatmeal topping possibilities- you come up with something that makes me jealous and drooling! Have a great weekend Kath!
Leah @ Simply Fabulous says
Funny pic of Matt!
Have a great day Kath!
K says
I’m not a big citrus person but lemon poppy seed gets me every time 🙂 Have fun with your parents!!
Elizabeth says
Great questions Melissa. Kath, I’m really interested for your input. I too find it hard to balance excerising a lot vs that making me ravenous and then overeating my calorie allotment. (FYI personally I’m aiming for 1700/day for weight loss currently, so it’s not some insane low amount). Thanks!
Kath says
Meaghen ,
It’s just his newest shirt.
Cindy ,
mom got them at Southern Season.
bobbi ,
It’s from my grandmother’s collection.
Melissa + Elizabeth ,
I did the same amount of exercise I do now during weight loss – about an hour a day. I often would go for a walk too – but just a stroll at lunch. When you say you are ravenous, make sure you are not just thirsty. I find when I exercise more I have to drink more, and sometimes that’s confused with hunger.
Jennifer ,
Have they? No reason.
Kath
Erin says
LOL, great pic of the hubs. That cake looks SO good. Have you asked the hubs what is baking fee is yet? I NEED to know so I can partake in such beautiful baked goods.
