Bum Hip

Hey guys!

Hope your Monday went well. I'm kinda bummed because my hip is hurting again. It was absolutely fine until about 10:20--several hours after I'd been on campus this morning. Then it got really irritated, really fast. I'm pretty sure that the extra weight from my backpack was what aggravated it. I had to cancel my fitness class plans for tonight. It stinks cause I already missed the whole weekend for the challenge. Hopefully since I'm resting tonight, it'll heal fast. It's just so disappointing because I thought it was better.

Anyway, backing up to this morning. For breakfast I had a relatively simple bowl of oats--for me, at least!



Oats
1/2 banana
Cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup canned butternut squash puree
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce (Whole Foods brand is the best!)
Small spoon of vanilla whey protein powder
Coconut topping
Dark chocolate dreams pb

Ok.... maybe that wasn't so simple! I seem to have a problem making plain bowls of oats. Oh well, these were awesome :D

I had Kinesiology 101, psychology, and my obesity/diabetes class. I was able to come home early today--around 1. Other days I don't get home until 6 to 9. Monday is by far my lightest class day!

Here are some other eats today:

I had this Stonyfield Pumpkin Pie yogurt as a snack at school. It was totally up my alley-- pumpkin + seasonal flavor = a must try!



I did pick up a somewhat non-pumpkiny taste, so I checked the ingredient list and sure enough, it had more carrot juice than pumpkin juice. Yeeeeea, Stonyfield, you can't get that by me. I know my pumpkin like the back of my hand. Or the palm of my hand. You can check it, too. The orange tint don't lie!

All in all, it was tasty yogurt. And it had a nice thickness for non-greek yogurt--none of that thin liquidy stuff! But it should be called Carrot-Pumpkin Pie yogurt ;)

I also had 2 leftover pancakes:



With a few banana slices, whipped cream, and maple syrup. Yea, it was as good as it looked ;)

Huge salad:



With a Dr. Praeger's Italian veggie burger that I actually took the time to broil in the toaster oven. I'm usually WAY too impatient and just toss those suckers in the microwave.


I also had the last of the carton of greek yogurt with some cinnamon and a lil protein powder:



Does that look gross? Sorry if it looks gross. It was good, I swear!

Apple + Orange:



I also had a lil kashi cereal + pretzels + candy corn + dried cherries and apples + almond breeze + a touch of vanilla protein powder. Geez, those are a lot of pluses. I didn't think I had that many ingredients in that teeny bowl (it fits in the palm of your hand for portion-sizing reference)



I guess I can use this extra time to study bones and practice harp. I hope my hip gets better soon. I hate, hate, hate being injured!!

But in an effort to end things on a positive note, here's a picture from my "funny" folder on my computer. I have a whole bunch of funny pictures saved on there for when I'm feeling down. Apparently this one is from failblog.com, which always makes me feel better about myself ;)



I don't know about you, but I think I'd definitely hire her if I ever needed a lawyer. I mean, can you have a better name??

Oh, this one is hilarious, too. I mean, how can you not catch that??

Poor guy! Haha.

Alright everyone, I hope you had a good Monday. Take care! Do you have any funny pictures or youtube links? If so, please share :D
