Isn’t Sunday supposed to be a day of rest? Well, today is definitely not a day of rest for me! I have a To Do list a mile long!!! But, some of the tasks are pretty fun– like going to Sephora. š
Breakfast
Mal, Murph, and I slept in until almost 9 AM this morning, which was a-mazing! I feel great this morning! 
Ā I’m used to eating breakfast around 6:30/7:00, so by the time we got out of bed, I was famished! So, I immediately put on a pot of banana oats for Mal and me to share.
In the mix:
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup non-fat milk
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed meal
- 1/2 tbsp agave nectar
- Cinnamon
Like always, I added two scoops of peanut butter to my oats. This morning, I tried Teddie’s new smooth with flaxseed variety. Mmm! I liked this one a lot! It had a nice peanut flavor with a slightly gritty texture. The flax added some omega-3’s, but it didn’t seem to affect the flavor.
I also enjoyed an iced latte with vanilla soy milk with breakfast.
Pound for Pound Challenge
Thought this was cool!

Love that challenge, it’s beneficial for everyone! And my bank account gets scared when I go to Sephora, I could wander around there for hours. Have a wonderful & relaxing rest of the weekend!
I really wish I could find smooth PB like that – it looks like it would drip or something, the stuff I have is always so stiff, it would never go melty in oats like that š
Still looks proper delicious though!
Have a great day š
I have never had Teddys – I haven’t even ever seen it anywhere!
I’m with you regarding Sunday! I have so much to do including wedding thank you notes, research new apartments on the Upper East side, and workout!
Love a good bowl of oats.
That challenge is great! They’ve been talking about it on Biggest Loser for about 2 years now, and I keep meaning to join…
Hope you get everything accomplished. You sure started it off right with an awesome bowl of oats! š
Just out of curiosity, do you write your to-do lists on like a pad of paper/calendar or do you use some sort of web tool on the internet to organize a list? Thanks!
wow busy day – sephora sounds fun though!! that store is like wholefoods to me – i can stay and browse for hours and want every new product š
great bowl of oats! they sell teddies at my school which i always buy. two scoops is absolutely necessary haha
I feel like Saturday is always more restful than Sunday
I love going to Sephora. I can’t find Teddie peanut butter here, so I rely on the store-brand all-natural or Smucker’s natural. YUM!
The pound for pound challenge is such a cool idea!!
The peanut butter sounds great! Flax seed are wonderful. You can add them to so many things without changing the flavor. And I have no Sephora store around me so I have to order offline, which is probably better for my wallet š
good luck on the to-dos!
sephora is quick sand — i can never get out — good luck š
Sephora is one my favorite stores š
Have a great Sunday!
Hey Tina… I was wondering what kind of iced coffee you use. Do you brew it once a week or do you just buy it?
I tried the PFPC last year. Didn’t do so well, unfortunately.
That healthy breakfast will give you lots of energy to get stuff done today!
Tina~ You are so right on! Sunday is my day to focus on my interests, including Sephora! (Ulta is having a sale. Check out their website!)
As for rest…putter and crash all day long. Now I am crashing. XOXO
thanks for posting that pound for pound challenge! I’m totally going to look into that now š
Sundays are totally NOT a day of rest for me, either. I work every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Good luck getting everything done today, and have fun at Sephora! I could spend hours in that store, I love it!
Awesome! I’m pledging now!
What a cool idea! Everybody wins with this one!
I am so with you on all accounts of the day! We got up super late and enjoyed our oats before we have to start our long list of things to do today. We are cleaning like crazy today! Wish I had a fun thing to do…I may have to sneak in some baking time just for fun!
@Amanda: Typically, I add them to my Google Calendar, but for today, they’re on a piece of paper.
@Kristen @ Change of Pace: Check my FAQs! š
It seems like I always end up doing all of my chores on Sundays. But going to Sephora is always a blast.
Have a great day!!
Your iced lattes always look so good no matter how cold it is!
Glad you got to sleep in. I have a longgg to-do list today as well, but it doesn’t include Sephora – lucky! : )
Enjoy your busy day! Sephora is a fun to-do item for sure!
I have a long list too! Since I was a bit under the weather, things got backed up. We can do it though! š
Good luck with tackling that list! I’m taking your advice and putting a team together for Fiona’s Challenge! I hope our team gets selected!
I have a love/hate relationship with Sunday – I want to be able to spend the day relaxing, reading, etc but instead I seem to always be doing laundry, ironing, etc.
I also slept a little late this morning – there is nothing like it.
Good luck tackling your to-do list!
Awesome breakfast! Looks yummay!
I LOVE sephora…even though I always come out of there looking like a 10 dollar hooker š What can I say, I love trying on ALL the products they offer!
Glad the PB tasted good, even with the flax. I’ve found those kinds of mixes to be touch and go, but now I know which brand to keep an eye out for at the market.
Hope you have a great, productive, day!
definitely going to check for that pb! i love teddie’s and will take any omega 3’s i can get. did you get it at whole foods or stop & shop?
My uncle is obsessed with Teddie’s PB but he can’t find it in Sarasota. When my mom and I went to visit we brought 6 cans with us!!!
I’ve heard of that and it is such a cool cause! Thanks for posting it as a reminder!
I love a good nights sleep. It makes me feel happier. I don’t know why I don’t make getting a good eight hours every night more of a priority.
@Steph: Stop & Shop.
I know what you mean about busy Sunday’s! My whole weekend was a ‘to do’ list š
I hate that I could eat anything feeling when I sleep in. My body is so programmed for meals.
Most Sundays, I think I prefer to be busy–because like you, most of my Sunday tasks are both fun and productive š
Good to know about that PB…I would LOVE to find the Teddie’s brand somewhere!
I love that PB! It’s my new favorite, and until they come out with a better (healthier AND yummier) one, that’s the PB I’m gonna get!
The “spreadability” is awesome, except it makes for a messy extraction from the jar, and I have a bad habit of “cleaning up” the jar so it looks neat and not counting that I ate that peanut butter. It doesn’t count if I’m just making it look neat, right? lol
