Crunchy disasters

I tried my friend's oatmeal suggestions this morning. Complete disaster. So much so that there was an oatmeal explosion all over my microwave and it was still crunchy. I ate it plain today. Gross. Tomorrow, I will try again and this time will try some of my comment suggestions. Which, PS to my dear friend...where does one buy steel cut oats? I could not find them at the grocery store today.

Earned my pony tail today. Rode my bike to and from work. Fell off my bike at a busy intersection. How embarrassing. Cars stopped to make sure I was alright. Pride was the only injury.

As for the eating healthy...ate plain crunchy oatmeal for breakfast, fresh watermelon for lunch, and homemade spaghetti for dinner. Oh, and four cookies and peach cobbler. Ugh. I did so well until the cookies and cobbler. The cobbler was made from fresh peaches? Does that count? Will try harder tomorrow.

Yes, fresh fruit in cobbler counts :) Plus its often the portions that make the most difference.

hmmmm.....we can buy steel-cut oats here at the local Mennonite store in fifty pound bags for next to nothing. Quaker produces the stuff and is usually found around their other products......if it is even available. The can be difficult to find. They are really really good. They have a very different texture. They are worth the effort in finding them. Best wishes.

Have you checked the good foods store? They might have them in bulk so you can buy a little and try them out first too so you don't waste your money when/if you hate them or don't stick with them. I miss you!

Fresh peaches?? That totally counts! Who could turn that down? :)

Fresh peaches totally count! It's like it's calorie free if it's fresh. Or if someone else gave it to you. Or if you eat it at a party. Or if you eat it after midnight. These are all the rules that I love and have made me chubby.
