I DID have oatmeal for breakfast. Because it is the best breakfast you can have, according to three magazines and the internet. When I have oatmeal, I get lots of nutrition and fiber while getting very little fat. When I add fruit, which provides Vitamin C, I receive short-term energy.
So I can walk away from my breakfast feeling light and happy.
Except that it's rather depressing to eat oatmeal. I have to force myself to eat it, through a combination of willpower, lots of peaches, and sheer force. Because as nutritious as it is, oatmeal is not a big happiness-inducer. I like mocha-chips muffins much better and they are probably not as nutritious.
I am going to issue a challenge for myself (and y'all too, if you feel so inclined).
I am going to see how many --GAH! I cannot finish my sentence because my father is reading a newspaper article aloud to my brother about animals escaping from the Central Park Zoo.
*closes eyes, makes that hand motion people do when they're meditating (ya know, when they put the tips of their fingers together), breathes* Okay. I want to see how many different way I can make oatmeal so that it's still healthy AND exciting.
I'm going to go look for some cheese.
haha.
ReplyDeletewhat magazines, and what part of the internet? oatmeal makes my throat feel weird and all creepy and gloopy like when you drink milk at 2 in the morning. yeah, sure you can vitamin c but no protein to help you start your day right!! ok this is dumb. i LOVE peaches <3 we went to south Carolina and bought this giant basket of like 400 peaches and ate them all in like 4 days. it was great. oatmeal with cheese sounds... odd at best. how was it? and i don't think i could eat more than one bowl of oatmeal without feeling... full, to put it nicely.
