Year 2, Day 170: Workout Hooky, Breakfast Cookie

For various reasons I decided I needed to work out in the morning, and go into work late. Unfortunately, I had a meeting that I called at 11:30am that involved people from both coasts and I could not be late, thus necessitating a shorter-than average workout. I did four and some change miles in about forty minutes before I decided I needed to get out of the gym. I could have done the next 20 minutes easy, but I had the good sense to leave. On the way out, I noticed Ruby was sitting with her group (Ruby camp and my gym are at the same facility). When I got closer I noted it was a 10:30AM picnic meal of entemann's marshmallow cake (http://entenmanns.gwbakeries.com/product.cfm/upc/7203000074) and M&Ms. I went over to say "hi" to her and she confided to me that she was very thirsty. I gave her my poland spring water and told her she could keep it, which she did. Later that day there was last-day carnival, at which Emily saw Ruby (her physical therapist also in same facility). She noted that Ruby was eating cotton candy! We determined two things from that day: one, Ruby was not going to camp there next year, and two, Ruby would not be having any dessert that night. We did allow her a bowl of grapes with her bath, though.

Breakfast
1 cup/60 g Kasha Go Lean/Heritage Flakes
Strawberries/Banana
Green Tea

Post Workout Snack
4 Slices of Ham
2 oz. 50% Jalapeno Cheddar

Lunch: Peter's Kitchen
Greek Salad with Grilled Chicken, Feta

Costco & After Snacks:
Assorted Nuts, Almond
Cashews, Almonds, Peanuts
1 Stick Beef Jerky

Dinner
Lil' Burgers
Broccoli
Cauliflower, Emily style
Cabbage Salad (olive oil, salt) and Feta

After being nut-accosted at Costco, I went home wanting a smaller dinner, and that worked out for me because Ruby was still hungry after she finished hers and I gave her one and half of my burgers.

This item caught my eye the other day. All I have to say is "Shame on you Quaker oats. You used to stand for something. Now you're just a sugar factory, relying on cheap marketing ploys to sell your product. Where do you come off selling a "Breakfast Cookie?" There is nothing "Breakfasty" about this cookie. Even if you made it with "whole grain Quaker oats." It's still a cookie. And cookies aren't for breakfast, unless you are using Cookie Crisp as your precedent, and you know how I feel about that."
