First of all, a very big Happy Birthday to Sunnie at Modern Girl Nutrition! Hope you’re having a wonderful day, girlie. The big 16! Another wonderful thing- yesterday was the last day of school! No more middle school!! 8th grade recognition recap coming soon 😉
My relationship with food is getting tremendously better. I’m not stressing about when I’m eating or what I’m eating. I’m deciding if I’m hungry or not and then eating if I am. And I feel much happier! Also this summer I’m going to try to space my eating out every couple hours instead of eating 3 big meals a day. It was just so hard to do being on a school schedule.
I haven’t been taking as many pictures of my food either. I’ve even been forgetting! It is so much less stressful. I love it.
Breakfast yesterday- I didn’t even take a picture (and I don’t even remember what I had!) so I’ll show you today’s!
Waffles with Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and bananas. I love waffles.
Lunch yesterday. Ohhh myy goodness.
A turkey, swiss, pesto, spinach, and tomato panini. This hit.the.spot. Plus some leftover strawberry salad on the side. Definitely the best lunch I’ve had in awhile!
Dinner last night was nothing special, at all. I was going on a bike ride with some friends so I wanted something quick and easy.
Oatmeal with almond milk and brown sugar added post pic. I’m wondering, have I ever told you how I make my oatmeal? I fill the pot with a little less than a cup of water, once it boils I turn it down to low and add 1/2 cup oats, a mashed banana, and an egg. Cover it, mix a few times (or don’t) and let it cook for 20 minutes, lid optional. Done!
That’s the only way I like oatmeal- so far. It kind of bakes, and you get banana in every bite! Anyone have any oatmeal tips for me?! I’d love to hear them!
Thanks to Jenn for hosting the party, and I’m off to an end of the year bonfire! 😀

That panini looks great! What kind of bread do you use?
Leigha says
It was a French loaf from the grocery store!
So many great eats! That’s such an awesome thing for a girl your age. I’m so proud of you for discovering healthy eating so early in time! I wish I did! Have a great day 🙂
Aww thank you! 😀
Yayy thank you Leigha!! That made my day 🙂 And that is EXACTLY how I make my oats too! Sometimes I swap the egg for a little protein powder. I love how the banana makes it sweet- restaurants need to catch on! 🙂
Ahh seriously?! Yay banana oats!! I’m happy I made your special day a little better 😀
Ah, oatmeal! I love it, but I’m definitely not fancy with it. As in, I make it from a packet. I usually buy Quaker maple and brown sugar packets! Or banana flavored 🙂
Haha! I feel like that doesn’t make enough for me. 1/2 cup is perfect!
