Hi friends. How was your week? Mine’s been busy, and I haven’t been cooking much (as evidenced by my lame WIAW post). The spinach and cheddar baked quinoa is the last thing I’ve made in the kitchen, and now I’m really mad at myself for forgetting about the leftovers for the past few days. Darn.
I’ve decided I’m officially an “office lady”. I tried to avoid it, I swear. But these three things are undeniable office lady qualities:
1) I keep tennis shoes at my desk for walks during lunch time.
2) I can’t say no to “cake in the break room“.
Click the link and watch the video. You’ll either find it hilarious or incredibly annoying. If you find it hilarious, later in the day you’ll still have it stuck in your head and then you’ll find it annoying. Now you really want to watch it, right? The glories of Pittsburgh morning radio.
3) I eat at my desk. Ugh, talk about mindless.
On the busy note, I had dinner in the form of a smoothie in the car last night. I made it around 5, kept it in a lunch bag with two ice packs until 7, and it survived quite well – part of it was completely frozen!
Random snacks at work, since I haven’t been packing meals:
Yogurt with defrosted berries, even better the second day (since you forgot to eat it the day you stuffed yourself with cake, office lady).
Oats in a jar, favorite peanut butter style…
A long time in the making since I gave up added sugars for Lent. Made with Cinnamon Struesel Better Oats, and totally worth the wait.
And blood orange Chobani with honey granola. Mmm.
I need to make granola this weekend. Maybe perfect granola. That’s my goal.
Any goals for your weekend? How about writing a guest post? 
Let me know if you’re interested!
I am sooo guilt of #2 and 3… and I need to be guilty of #1. I started wearing a pedometer and it’s made me realize I am wayyy to sedentary during the day.

Me too – I need to make walking over my lunch hour a habit.
I’ve been working a ‘desk job’ for about two years and I basically have the same exact ‘office lady’ tendencies as you! I would definitely be interested in writing a guest post

You are too funny! When I was teaching, my “office lady” thing was to wear the same cardigan sweater all the time because it was always freezing in my classroom! Terrible. My goal is to pack! Yikes. Not looking forward to that, but it has to happen. Trying not to think about it!

No plans this weekend except for packing and tennis with a friend!

It’s the VERY best.
i am so guilty of sitting too long during the day … and mindless eating. i have to force myself to get up and get moving! and that green smoothie looks great – i’d never be able to wait until 7!

Teehee, that must be the only flavour of Chobani I wouldn’t touch with a fifty-foot pole. Yay I don’t have to be jealous of you!

I love that you keep running shoes at your desk! I’ll definitely be doing that once I’m done with grad school and warming my rear on a cushy chair most of the day. :-p (Actually, I hope to get a standing desk!)
Cinnamon Raisin Swirl PB is the best…It’s been way too long since I’ve had a jar in my pantry though. That might change when I go to the grocery store tomorrow. My other goals: write five more pages of my research paper and keep my Target run under $100!
Hope the writing went well!
My goal this weekend is/was to get in an outdoor run, a bike ride, start Phase 3 of the LiveFit Trainer, get caught up on yard work, laundry, misc. projects around the house and to SLEEP IN and enjoy some down time sipping coffee and relaxing.
BTW- I love the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl peanut butter! That stuff rocks!

It is my favorite!
the oatmeal looks so good. i haven’t tried the cinnamon peanut butter yet, i have yet to try that flavor from PB&Co. My favorites are Dark Chocolate PB and Bees Knees – sooooooo good. This weekend all I did was rest, clean, and sleep! It was nice.

When I visited the PB&Co shop we got a sampler of all the different kinds – the spicy one is gross!
I really need to try oats in a jar! Those look so so so good!
I’ve been that raisin peanut butter swirl all over the blogs! I want to try that
You will LOVE it!
Peanut Butter & Co. makes some of the best peanut butter(s) around. I love them all!
