Wow. I’ve been really exciting the past few days. I blame the headache. Dottie brought up a good point to use a sinus rince! I totally forgot that I have a neti pot..duh!

I’ll spare you the photos of using a Neti Pot but I will direct you here if you’re curious: kind of gross

Because I didn’t post last night, I was in a pinch this morning with posting + oats + getting ready for work.

The oats were quick but delicious. I didn’t have time to cook the Scottish Oats so I used rolled oats and they were extra creamy today! Here’s what I did:

Creamy Rolled Oats:

1/3c rolled oats
2/3c almond milk
1/3c coconut kefir [plain] <----- made the oats super thick + creamy
1/2 banana
1/2t cinnamon

Toppings:

splash of almond milk + mixed berry conserve + maple cinnamon almond butter [I’m almost out!]

Work was a mad house today because of Mother’s Day. Yikes! I had it set in my mind that I would get to the park for a bike ride after work. I’m usually reallllly tired but it was one of the first nice days out today and I didn’t want to miss it. I got home around 5:30 and was out the door at 6pm.

bike ride –> 5 laps –> 12.5m in about 45min or so

I rode into the grass and continued my workout with 3 sets of 10 pushups and 4 sets of all different types of crunches. Then I biked home, made dinner, and watched the first Iron Man with Chris. Not sure how we missed that movie whenever it came out but I can’t wait to see the 2nd one now!

Yup. 2 photos from today. Lame!

I do have photos from the brunch my Aunt hosted in Cleveland. Wish I could have been there!!! I thought I would share :)

My dad and grandma. My grandma moved to Cleveland a few months back, from North Carolina, after the passing of my Grandfather last fall.

My brother the drummer! He plays the tabla, which are a type of Indian drum. He is pretty amazing!! I have never seen someone move their hands/fingers SO fast. They are completely different than any type of drum I’ve ever heard.
