I've never been much of a morning person. I like to laze around in bed and read and cuddle and all that stuff. Occasionally the enticing lure of coffee will make me bolt out from under the covers. This is not one of those mornings. With the beginning of the new year, I figured that while I won't go out of my way to be a gym freak and all that, I could stand to get a little healthier so that I can be awesomer. Yes, I said awesomer.
So my new morning companion is...*drum roll please*...oatmeal.
Let's just say that this is not the most satisfying relationship I've ever been in. But it's working, I manage to feel full until lunch.
Anyhow, I'm knitting away at Ene's Scarf. I'm liking this whole lace business. I don't think that I could handle complex lace where both RS and WS are patterned, but who knows, I might get there at some point. The only thing that kills me is that since the rows are so damn long, to complete 2 rows, you're looking at about 45 mins. This can be a little frustrating but still. It's looking dead sexy and this is what's keeping me motivated.
I've also got a couple of pairs of socks going as well for when I can't handle teeny tiny yarn.
Alright well have a nice friday folks!

Ok oatmeal can be yummy! Don't use the Quaker instant stuff. Buy the big yellow bag of oats, like you'd use for cookies.
Yum #1-
1c oats
1c milk (or vanilla almond milk)
1 packet Splenda (optional)
cinnamon to taste
banana, sliced
shredded coconut (optional)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
-mix all but pp, microwave for 1 min. Stir, microwave for 1 more min. Stir in pp if desired. Eat. Yum.
Yum #2
1c oats
1c milk
1 tbsp cocoa powder
(or 1 c chocolate milk or almond milk)
1 tbsp peanut or other nut butter
cinnamon if desired
splenda if desired
1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder if desired
-mix all but pp, microwave 1 min, stir then heat another min. stir in pp if using. Tastes like Reese's PB cups
Both of these recipes are from my nutritional program's recipe book, and are designed to give you your protein, your good fats, your carbs for the meal. Add some veggies on the side for balance if you want and you've got a perfect meal that is crazy yummy.
(Seriously, when I did my 6mo plan I thought it was cheating to get to eat that for breakfast after a workout, it's that good).
You can also mix a handful of frozen or fresh berries and some brown sugar into the oatmeal.
It doesn't have to be bland!
