Breakfast
I found a use for overly-dense homemade buns…..
Peanut butter & jelly!!! These buns are perfect for soaking up the jelly but not getting soggy 🙂
Nothing like a classic pb&j for breakfast. That sandwich probably literally weighed half a pound. Lesson learned: let dough rise before baking.
Sure sticks to the roof of your mouth! Good thing I had a nice mug of coffee to wash it down.
Coconut milk doesn’t froth up when you shake it the same way regular milk does, so I’ve gone back to using my Senseo to get a semi-frothy coffee. (It’s one of those individual coffee makers. I love it.)
Gotta keep this short because I’m off to…
my 1st physical therapy appointment!!!! YAY!!!
I’ve never looked forward to an appointment so much- I hope it’s helpful! I’m supposed to get fitted for orthotics (which I’m still wary of) and then start the PT.
Have you had physical therapy before? Did you find it helpful? I had it for my hips when I was a teenager. I don’t remember much about it except for the electric-shock-like machine that I thought felt amazing (which is a little sadistic, no?).
Have a great day!!
Lunch
You never know with conferences what the lunch situation will be. The one I’m at today usually gives you a break to go grab lunch, but I always worry they’ll change the schedule or there won’t be enough time with so many people all trying to but lunch at the same time.
Just in case, I packed a lunch and brought it with me. If I don’t need it, no worries. But just in case. You know I need my food 🙂
I brought a bagel sandwich on Thomas’ Whole Wheat Bagel Thins with both peanut butter and almond butter, along with sliced bananas and sunflower seeds.
And some dried plums. (Yes, I know that means they’re prunes but it sounds less Geezer-ish to say dried plums. And that’s what the bag says, so I’m sticking with it)
Along with some whole wheat Wheat Thins. I thought they’d be similar to the Multigrain and was wondering why they offered both, but I definitely like the Multigrain better!
Annnnd some Jello Rice Pudding. 
And since I never know when I’ll get hungry just sitting there all day, I brought some back up snacks just in case.
I’ve mentioned I’ve been to this conference before, but this time the focus is Childhood Obesity, which is completely awesome since it’s so relevant. We’ve been talking about what we think the single best way to fight obesity in child is…of course there’s no one best answer, but it’s interesting to think about. It really is a different monster than that of adults.
What one thing would you choose as the “best” way to fight the childhood obesity epidemic?!
