Running on Empty

Happy Friday! I hope you are enjoying your day so far today, whether you’re working or not!

I can’t believe I’m just now eating breakfast at 10 am – this is so unlike me  :)  We’ve had a good morning so far, though.

We got up and went on a 3 mile run this morning, came back, showered, got dressed and I worked on getting breakfast components together while Nick cleaned the shower for me.

muesli

I had mixed up some muesli the other night (1 cup wheat flakes, 1 cup skim, 1 cup ff plain yogurt), so I dished that up for us and got out some fruit, nuts, and honey.

I also mixed in a Tbsp of chia seeds to the muesli! I topped mine with some kiwi, strawberries, raspberries, 1 Tbsp pecans, cinnamon, and a tsp of honey.

I really wanted some oatmeal, but after running/showering, I just couldn’t make a hot breakfast.

Nick also made some french press coffee for us!!! Yes, I am that excited about it. We haven’t had “french press quality” coffee in a while but we picked some up yesterday.

Worth the wait, for sure, but I am happy we’re stocked on coffee for a while  :)

I’m off to start my busy day!

  • Pedicure with a friend at 11
  • Grocery shopping, then home to…
  • Bake dessert
  • Prep dinner/weekend stuff
  • Clean house
  • Finish laundry

Whew – I better get started!

What makes a weekend feel like a “weekend” to you?

Mine is not having to use alarms. I love it.
