3 O’Clock Oats

10/04/2009 | 19 comments

Nothing like 3 o’clock oats after spending the morning in the rain, taking a tent down & packing to go home.

PB&J with coconut sprinkled on top

Yummy,  I’m very happy and cozy on my couch now.

Besides the rain, camping turned out to be really fun.

One of the tents our friends slept in.

Sun went down & we worked to start a fire. (Carlos’ feet: he does not take pictures, but he does exist)

Yea!! for lighter fluid coming to the rescue.

Overall, Friday night was fun b/c it was dry & Saturday morning was great too.  Around 2pm the rain started so some of us took a nap. After napping  we went to buy a tarp for the picnic table, so we could brake out more drinking games and eat more food.

Finally, this morning I was very happy to be going home & get dry. (blurry pic due to camera battery dying)

Had a great weekend, but we all said ”No more tents”  and rainy weather.

I have decided I need to work on my toning.  I want to look hot in my Halloween costume this year and it’s a wee bit tight!  I’m going to take on Jillian using her 30 Day Shred! I’m not big on posting weight and inches but I may do it this time around.

Whose up for a challenge?

I’ll be shredding 3-4 times a week until Oct. 24Th.  This is the perfect time to tone up, since many blogger’s have pulled out their Shred dvds again.  Shoot me an email (uptownfitchic@gmail.com) or leave a comment below if you’d like to shred along. I think it would be nice to encourage each other and talk about likes and dislikes while doing this challenge. Or just leave a comment below.

This morning I realized I should invest in a lunch bag, so I’ll be purchasing one after work. I’m starting to carry too many tubs and bags to work plus my giant purse too.

MMM…Oatmeal with PB and chocolate goodness

I really enjoyed this breakfast! :)

I officially had a full tum tum after this.

I think I had too much fun at work today doing online shopping. Okay, I was just buying office supplies, but any form of shopping is fun for me! (I’m a dork)

Lunch was a bore b/c everyone went home or ate out.

Me and my  AB & JELLY sandwich ate alone in the kitchen :(

Coconut water, cucumber, Chobani honey flavor and more trailmix.

YEP, I think I have had enough candy for the week.

I’ll have a review of Chobani later this week.

Now it’s time to tackle dinner and watch some GLEE from last week on the dvr!


What will you be watching tonight and eating?

Bye :)

Good Morning,

I felt like sharing more about myself with my lovely readers this morning.

  1. My first name is ”Nicole” but you can call me ”Nicci”.
  2. I Love Dollar Stores,  ”Dollar Diva” is another nickname I’m been crowned with.
  3. Sight of bare feet makes me cringe.
  4. I Love staying up and watching British comedies,  ”Coupling”  is my favorite show.
  5. I was a vegetarian for 2 years, many many years ago. I’m not that old people but it seems like Forever.
  6. I collect anything Sailor Moon…remember that cartoon, it rocked!
  7. Breaking out in song, when bored is normal for me. I often don’t realize it, till I get strange looks.
  8. I count things till I have an odd number,  I like odds
  9. The sound of Styrofoam makes me cringe.

What’s one thing people don’t know about you? ;-)

I started my lovely Thursday with a surprise.  Chris forgot to mention I had mail.

 I ripped open a package to find this below.

Kristina at Stoneyfield sent me coupons and a reusable bag. This came just in time for my Thursday grocery shopping. I had just finished off my last container of Oikos.

Thank you Kristina ;-)

I ate a quick messy bowl of oats & dashed out into the rain for work. It’s been raining since Saturday…”Please go away rain”.

Surprise, Surprise…I woke up in time to run 3 miles!

When I came back I treated myself to a tropical bowl of oatmeal

My friend Kirstyn & I hit up the Farmers Market in a town over. I was  disappointed only 2 booths were selling produce, but maybe next time there will be more.

I did grab up some okra and tomatoes!

Greek Yogurt from Sprouts.  I haven’t tried this brand so I’m curious to see how it tastes.

New sweater from Plato’s Closet, I can’t wait to wear this Fall.

Kirstyn and I are planning a shopping day next week too.  I love how it’s a nice resale shop w/ popular brands like Fossil, American Eagle and Abercrombie!

Now  it’s time finish my ‘‘To do list”’ and eat some lunch

See ya Later
