In an effort to make my large ass a little less large I have been eating oatmeal. Lots....of oatmeal. I usually begin my day with a bowl of it.
I have discovered that I like it better made with milk as opposed to water. It takes 1 minute, 30 seconds in my beautiful microwave. When it comes out it is still all nice and smooth and full of oat-y deliciousness.
My most recent daily routine requires that I watch ER reruns while reading blogs and thinking of ways to spend My Dear Nathan's hard earned money before he hardly earned it. Don't worry, I feed Ryleigh her morning staple of peanut butter toast before I start all my hard work.
I am thinking, as I eat my "oatmeal" that I need to revise my routine to include eating my oatmeal before I begin ER and/or blog reading. By the time I begin to eat it the oat-y deliciousness has turned into a sticky, oat-y facial peel. I still eat it but it is no longer smooth, it is more....lumpy. The taste is still OK as far as diet oatmeal goes.
Once I am finished my bowl, I have learned the hard way, it must be rinsed out immediately. If it is not, it moves from facial peel-ish to cement-ish. I never knew that oatmeal was such a transitional food, I always just used to think that it sucked.

Hahaha!!! I've had to scrape dried cooked oatmeal from the sides of the pot...oh, my goodness, that stuff will teach you to be proactive about getting dishes done!

I love oatmeal though we call it porridge in our house. But the diet? That stuff sucks.
Every Monday at 4:30pm my 62 year old boss runs out of the office for Pilates class, every Tuesday at 10:00 am he goes to the coffee shop and buys a giant chocolate chip cookie!
