breakfast for lunch

After an 8 mile run this morning, I was in NEED of some fuel.  But I just didn’t WANT anything.  This is what happens to me when I run long distances: for a few hours afterwards, the thought (and smell) of food makes me sick.

So I went against what any sports nutritionist would tell you and instead….listened to my body.  My body said to “hold up, wait a minute”.

I took a shower, read blogged, did laundry and vacuumed (because I hadn’t done it since yesterday).

Then around 11:30, I started to feel it.  The teeniest bit of hunger.

So again, I listened and did something about it.

Two somethings, actually.

First dish:  French “Bagels”

We were out of bread for french toast.  So I improvised and used the whole wheat bagels we had on hand.  Into the egg wash went:

• 3 Eggs
• 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
• 1/4 cup milk
• Vanilla extract
• Cinnamon
• Pumpkin Pie Spice (for Fall)

This was goooood (5 o’s kind of good)!   Topped it with natural peanut butter and raspberries (why do I always forget the p in raspberries?).  I really liked the soft texture of the bagels…perhaps even better than bread??

Second dish:  Oats In a Jar

Basically, my go-to breakfast (aside from an egg scramble).  I don’t think I’ll ever tire of this one, so get used to seeing it.

• 1/3 c. oats
• 1/2 c. milk
• 1 scoop Chocolate P.P.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice (again, for Fall)

I shared some of both with Travis.  I’m a good wife.  It’s not like he wouldn’t do the same.  Hold up, wait a minute.

Properly fueled, we’re off to buy a grill.  It was Travis’ Father’s Day present.  I know, you’re asking yourself, “How could anyone not already own a grill?”  And, “Wasn’t Father’s Day like a gazillion years ago?”   To you, I would say, A. We’re cheap, and B.  We waited for a good sale because we’re cheap.

Happy Saturday.  It’s FALL!  Use some dang Pumpkin Pie Spice!

P.S.  Have you started working on your move for Tuesday Trainer yet???  Get to it!
