Got up this morning and decided on a jog/walk combo. No weight lifting this week as it is my rest period. I’ll be biking tomorrow, so a wog seemed like a nice change. Did 3 miles this way.
Came back to banana chocolate oats! These were good. I haven’t had the banana oat bran in a while.
I have my mammogram Friday, and since it is my first and they want a baseline, I was told no caffeine for 72 hours prior. Waaaahhhhh!!! I usually drink decaf at night, but never in the morning. So, made some decaf that we got at the store. It just isn’t really good decaf. I should have gotten decaf green beans and roasted them myself.
I cannot stay awake to save my life today. No headache, though, thank goodness.
Lunch was a yummy combo of 1/2 cup pumpkin, vanilla chobani greek yogurt and Kashi Heart to Heart cereal. Great combo!
I have been having a hard time even keeping my eyes open this afternoon. Do you ever get like that where you physically can’t keep your eyelids open? I need a couple toothpicks or something.
Afternoon latte was decaf 
John drizzled a little chocolate syrup on it – yay!
But the side snack was good:
Pumpkin bread that I made the other day! With 1/2 whole wheat flour.
I had someone email me asking about how I stay in control with food. Well, the truth is – I don’t always. I struggle sometimes (sometimes a lot). I quite often have to ask John to put things out of reach for me if I find myself continually snacking on something. I’m still not sure why that is, and I don’t really know if there is an answer to it. I kind of have a feeling that my body genetically wants to be heavy (obesity gene) and it tells me to eat more than I need to be eating in order to gain weight back. That’s the reason I don’t trust intuitive eating for me, at least at this point.
Dinner was a quick egg sandwich on an arnold thin with a laughing cow wedge. My meals have been so easy lately – they are probably boring you LOL!
Snack tonight is more decaf tea and a clementine. My tag was a little easier to understand today and seems appropriate 
Thanks Mr. Lincoln!
And on one last note, Pixie is doing better. She is still tender on her feet, and I feel bad watching her try to knead, because she keeps starting and stopping because it hurts. She is a happy convalescent, though – check out this face:
Dont’ forget to check in for the challenge if you haven’t done so!
There is nothing quite like fresh roasted coffee. Since I have begun roasting my own, I sure don’t appreciate the coffee anywhere else nearly as much.
I’ve never had fresh roasted coffee beans. I swing between no caffeine times in my life and caffeinated times. Right now I’m in a caffeinated mode, but only in the morning.
Ugh, when I don’t drink coffee in the morning, I feel like I’m in a fog for the rest of the day. I often do it if I have to be in bed really early, without it I fall asleep immediately!
Roasting beans should be my next homemade experiment in my new place. Or rather, my new deck
When I get to where I can’t keep my eyelids open, I know that is time for a nap. Of course, this can pose a problem at work.
I had a mammogram two mondays ago (I found a lump) and am still waiting for the results. Grrr.
BTW… I hate to tell you this, but decaf coffee still has caffeine. Be sure to ok it with the radiology department.
Good luck with your baseline.

It does have caffeine, but very minimal and it was okayed by the doc.
Your dinners look amazing to me. LOVE broccoli. I wish I could eat oats. Oats make me gain weight like crazy. But, your banana, chocolate oats look SO delicious.
Glad your kitty is doing better. She is so gorgeous!
I was never told to restrict caffeine with my mammos – even the first one. Just lay off the perfume and deodorant (poor tech!). Good luck with the squishing!
I think I would have a hard time when I couldn’t drink my morning coffee, even though it’s for a good cause.
Food looks great as always!
