0 — degrees when I woke up this morning.
1 — dough ball I’ve eaten today. It’s a Christmas miracle!
2 — pictures I took of my breakfast.
3 — (+ 4) times I will probably eat this combo this week. Pumpkin oats topped with grilled bananas, coconut shreds, and peanut butter. I got so mad at myself because I didn’t save the hunk of peanut butter for the last bite. I looked down, it was gone, and I still had about 5 bites left. ALWAYS save the peanut butter for last… ALWAYS.
4 — Days until winter break official starts (or 96 hours, or 5760 minutes, or 345,600 seconds)
5 — kids who did not follow directions for our “Secret Santa” activity in school today. Directions were as followed: “Bring 5 gifts for your partner on Monday. All gifts need to total up to $5.” 2 kids forgot all the presents, 2 kids only brought 1, 1 kid bought ONE gift for FIVE dollars. Ugh.
6 — hours of sleep I got last night…. = not enough for this girl.
7 - (+5) days until REBEL TIME! <3 <3 <3
8 — minutes spent on cooking dinner tonight.
Easy tofu scramble with broccoli, red pepper, onions, and tomatoes
9 — minutes until I cave and get another snack. Protein in dinner? Yes. Carbs? No. Time to carb it up! Is it wrong of me to eat smaller meals because I love eating more frequently? I couldn’t imagine going more than 2-3 hours without eating. I just love food too much.
10 — hours of sleep I could get if I went to bed RIGHT now. I know, not happening. A girl can dream though…
Question: What are some numbers from your day today?
{ 70 comments… read them below or add one }
Wow! I thought I had it bad when it was 6 degrees for me this morning! (Although both probably feel about the same.) I like to eat smaller meals so I can eat more often too!
Glad I’m not the only one!
Haha, well, in their defense, that’s more kids that got it right than adults that I asked to remember to bring in a gift for our holiday luncheon. I just asked them to bring in one thing and over 1/2 of them forgot.
14 days until Christmas and still no word from you on what to get John for Christmas. UUGGHH!!!
All he wants for Christmas is a cruise.. this is a tragedy. I’m sad for one of two reasons:
1. You can’t add 7 + 5
OR
2. You have been lying to me my entire life and Christmas is on December 27th
Three - the number of breakfasts I had today. I don’t know what got into me but I woke up hungry. Glad things settled down after that.
5 hours in the library + 10 minutes making pb bars to help me study.
booo 5 hours in the library!!!!
Hahaha I am soo guilty of eating like every 2 or 3 hours! Love it! Andd the minute I get myself to a stove I am making grilled bananas to put on oats. YUM.
It’s awesome!
Haha I eat smaller meals because I like to eat all the time too!!! Oh and I TOTALLY save pb for the last bite. Every time.
You are so adorable! what a precious post… and all these bloggers talking about grilled bananas gets me thinking this is something I gotta try!
Just thinking of 10 hours of sleep make me want it sooo badly… maybe i’ll go to bed early
unlikely though for me too!
cute little post! I loved it! =)
Cute post!! I portion out my peanut butter when I eat my oats but always save some for the last bite. What is REBEL TIME? And to answer your question on #9, no it’s not bad of you!
Rebel time is when I get to open up my Canon Rebel!
Noooo, I’m so jealous!!
7 - hours of sleep I got. Enough? No.
7 - hours I worked today. Fun? No.
Dang. I wanted more 7′s but that’s all I can think of.
For my oats, I always put a bit of nut butter on the bottom. That way I ALWAYS have some nut butter with the last bite.
Aww, poor kids. I always felt bad when I was younger and somebody followed instructions incorrectly. I could always see their heart breaking when they realized their mistake
I’m less than sympathetic though because it’s always the SAME kids who never listen because they’re off in their little world.
It was -5 windchill out today, brr!
Wow 0 degrees?! We were just out and I thought 16 was bad! I don’t have any fun numbers… I’m not much for math, but I like your #9! I break down my meals so I can eat more often
“96 hours, or 5760 minutes, or 345,600 seconds.” Not that you’re counting or anything…
11 Hours I spent at work today
3 Drinks I need to forget those 11 hours
No not counting at all!
So cute…
Did you prepare for the secret santa fall-out?
I can only imagine you bringing extra gifts just in case. I am here…fresh out of tax school…to PLEASE be sure you account for every penny you spend this year for the kids. I know teachers probably spend more than they can claim as a tax deduction (boo) but at least claim what you can!
~Missy
Of course - I have about 5 backup gifts!
I eat big meals…and still every 2-3 hours. They are 90% veggies though…
Is it just me or are schools getting out earlier for Christmas? I remember going until the day before X-mas eve.
Wow. I think I just dated myself.
It depends on the school district! My district gets out on Friday, but goes back January 3. The district my dad teaches in goes until the 22nd!
I agree I ALWAYS need to save the PB for last because by then it is all melted and gooey (aka the must delicious and addicting thing ever!!)
I totally agree with you on smaller meals so I can snack more frequently throughout the day!
How did you only eat one dough ball…teach me your ways. Oh students, no matter how many times you explain something they always forget. That scramble looks delicious and so quick. Ha, I totally would rather eat many times a day that just the main meals, that is boring. I would have that breakfast 7 days a week:) Love this post…how are you so stinking adorable and creative??
When my life is boring I need to come up with things to make YOU keep reading!
2.5 hrs spent in my car (boo traffic)
4 episodes watched of Family Guy
1 hr teaching children a cooking lesson
1 hr cleaning up after them
1 hr spent working out
3.34 price I had to pay per gallon for gas (at this rate I’ll be broke next week)
0 times Ive weighed myself this year
3.34? Holy Crap!!!
Good for you one the 0 times weighed Eden!!!
Okay…LOVE this post
I wanna do one!!
I don’t like eatig big meals because I feel too full anyway!
I hear you on the eating smaller meals thing. I eat every 2-3 hours, too. I’m not complaining
I thought for sure you’d have talked the hus into letting you have that rebel before christmas!
And YES on saving the PB for last! I always do, too.
Today’s barely started - but 7 = inches of snow fallen last night (yesss!!)
I was thinking about convincing him, but I really want something to open on Christmas Morning!!!
OH YES YES I ALWAYS leave the nut butter till the last bite! ALWAYS-so many people mix it in.. but nooo wayyyy
Ooh I keep on meaning to try grilled bananas! Especially Caitlin’s grilled banana sandwich.
I don’t even want to think about the numbers from my day yesterday… I spent far too little time studying and far to much time procrastinating haha!
I’ll tell you the 1 # thats on my mind right now: 13. That’s how many miles I need to run today to keep up with my marathon training plan. Yikes! And bed felt so warm & cozy!
That is TOTALLy awesome - you’ll rock it!
Hahaha,YES, always save the peanut butter for last!!!
$0 - that’s how much I’ve donated to the Friday Teacher Luncheon fund at Maya’s school. I keep forgetting! But to be fair I have to remember a check or cash for about 10 things every single week at Maya’s school - and I thought we would save money at a public school!!
Oh, so you’re one of “those” parents!
Just kidding!
Yes, ALWAYS save nut butter for last! I love food too much to not eat small meals OFTEN as well, so not wrong at all
— speaking of loving food, grilled bananas for breakfast?!! I’m doing that — TODAY.
You’ll love yourself so much more.
60 — 60 minutes I sat in the massaging pedi chair last night..because I could
I am getting all the ingredients for the doughballs tonight, they look yummy!
4 finals down in 7 hours. previous night of sleep= 0 hours.
always..ALWAYS save the pb for last. my heart goes out to you for the unfortunate mishap
Thank you.. I’ve been very careful about it the last few days that’s for sure!
How in the world did you pull an all nighter? My bestie and I were just talking last night how we can’t even IMAGINE not getting sleep like we did in college. No sleep = crabby Chelsey!
What a cute, fun post!!! And kids with directions - there’s always at least one, huh?
ALWAYS Tina… ALWAYS.
YUM your breakfast looks so delicious I love pumpkin oats with pumpkin almond butter!
I like to save the pb or almond butter for last too
Loved this post, girl!
And your breakfast, too… it looks amazing!
The school was closed yesterday and today because of the snow/ice and you just reminded me both of my school age kids need a present for their parties on Thursday!!
Jen
Can’t forget that teacher present!
Never! They are getting a batch of Muddy Buddies and a gift card to Starbuck’s
Jen
Oooo you’re a good parent!
0 degrees? I would die haha and that grilled banana on top of your oatmeal looks to awesome!
It’s not TOO bad!
3 - cans of seltzer I’ve drank today (and that was just with lunch!)
0 degrees hurts me to even read!
My goodness! Do you have an upset stomach?
What a fun post!
13 - Minutes until I get to go home!
Mmm!
15 - Minutes to exercise before having to get ready for my parents to come over for dinner. My boyfriend is graciously cooking them his Drunken Rissotto.
9 - days until my family and I will be in Arizona for Christmas!
Perfect… way to get the boyfriend’s parents wasted.
And I thought 30 degrees this morning was cold! I just found your blog and I absolutely love it!!
1 hour until dinner’s ready
2 days until my sister comes home
3 popsicles I’ve eaten to try to help cure this sore throat!
Thanks! Good luck with the sore throat!
tofu scramble with broccoli, red pepper, onions, and tomatoes = NICE!!!
but really what catches my eye is the dough ball, of course
but the grilled bananas! I have posted before my vegan bananas foster but i have never JUST grilled the bananas (without adding a boatload of sugar & liquor….haha!) Seriously I want your method if you make this all the time, you clearly have it down pat b/c your bowl looks perfect!
I can do a post about it for you!
just came back and realized you wrote back..heck yea, I’d love to hear the quick deets even. email me if you happen to write back b/c i dont want to miss your reply and my brain may not remember to come back here lol
4 - number of my chocolate-covered dough balls that I’ve eaten today! whoops!
Did you make them? How did you like them?
I like #9. I have tendencey to eat smaller meals so I can eat more often! What can I say, eating if fun!
