Mmm, oatmeal

Journey of 1111 miles Day 6
Need to walk 3 miles after school tonight

So last year when I really got into "clean eating" I was making oatmeal in the crockpot and eating it all the time - and it was good! But now I have so many other things constantly going in the crock - and the last couple times I made oatmeal it flopped - that I decided to try and make it on the stove top this morning. I know this may not seem like a big deal to some, but since I was never an oatmeal eater until about a year ago, this was a very big deal for me. And I have to say it was a fantastic success! I will make this oatmeal every morning I think - or at least a lot of mornings. I made it with 1% milk to up the protein content and nothing else and let it simmer on the stove for about 10 minutes. After it was done I sprinkled on some sugar in the raw (about 1/2T) and about a 1/4C of walnuts and 1/4C of craisins. Oh man this was good! Yummy and filling, it was such a great breakfast. I like eating well and healthy early in the morning, I feel like it sets me up for a healthy day later - and helps me with my Healthy for the Holidays goal. Now I have walnuts and banana for lunch, grapes and cheese for a snack, and a PB&J sandwich for dinner during my Violence Prevention workshop tonight. Plus a canceled class that gives me a little time to get some homework done. Not a bad day!
