Monday Blahs

Yup, I’ve got ‘em! I do not like Mondays, they are long, tiring, no-fun days. There, I said it… no more complaining now. I had a quick breakfast on my way out this morning: plain yogurt topped with almond cereal and about a quarter of an avocado.

You think I forgot a picture right? Nope, but my camera decided to die this morning so I used this old pic. I’ll work on it for lunch!

I’m also planning on gettina a café au lait once I get to school to “help me” with my morning!

Early morning…

I started off my day right today with an early morning swim. It was a nice, relaxing way to get in a bit of aerobic conditioning. Before I left fot the pool, I ate about half of a banana oatmeal pancake. Banana is a great addition to oatmeal pancakes and it makes it seem like such a treat

After my swim, I headed off to class, where I ate the rest of my pancake (now cold but still tasty) and some Ezekiel cereal mixed with plain yogurt and a bit of avocado. The cereal got nice and soft and I thought it brought out the almond flavour even more. I guess I’m weird, I don’t like my cereal to be too crunchy usually!

Asian inspired quinoa goodness

Oh.My.God. This is amazing! I made Veganomicon’s Pineapple Cashew Quinoa Stir-Fry

I found hidden somewhere in the old posts on Jenna’s blog but I’ll leave you to find it for yourselves since I know it’s copyrighted. Wow, I don’t know what to say! I made quite a few changes, no nuts, no pineapple because I didn’t have any, added black eyed beans and carrots… It didn’t matter, this was still great! The only problem? I only had enough quinoa for one serving, so now I have extra veggies in sauce that I don’t know what to serve them with! I’ll let you know tomorrow what I’ve come up with

Here’s the closer version:

Now I’ll backtrack a bit to my afternoon… I did some schoolwork (boring so I won’t keep going on that subject) I then decided to finish my plyo that I didn’t do this morning but I was getting pretty hungry, so I decided on a bowl of plain yogurt topped with Ezekiel almond cereal. I really like it this way, I’m surprised since my first experience wasn’t exactly mind-blowing.

Morning already?

Wow, I almost slept right through my alarm this morning, I am so tired! I’m still having some trouble getting to sleep at night so that’s definitely not helping my mornings! Breakfast this morning was plain yogurt and oats soaked overnight, topped off with Ezekiel almond cereal. Okay, this is definitely the way to eat this cereal… much better than plain with milk!

It’s official, Bikergurl has gone insane!

Yup, it’s true. Why do I say this? I added chocolate to my cereal. Actually, I added cocoa powder and a touch of honey to about 1/3 cup of milk, then added my oats to sit overnight and soften. This morning, I stirred in plain yogurt and high fiber cereal to turn it into “muesli”. Yes, I am weird. Here’s what itlooked like before I mixed it all together:

The chocolate milk mixture was quite tasty, but it was a bit odd after I added the yogurt because the chocolate flavour was too diluted. It needed more cocoa and sugar but I didn’t really want to add more sugar to my breakfast. I don’t think I’ll try this again unless it’s with some banana oatmeal.

This morning’s plan: spinning, then class.
