    There is a magical cook time between delicious oatmeal and disgusting, slimy, weird textured oatmeal. I crossed that line this morning. :s

    My luck with food the last couple day has been bad. Dropped my lunch on the floor at work yesterday...

    I am very aware of that magical time. my MIL loves her oatmeal on the other side well in the slimy disgusting side. needless to say I cook our oatmeal separately.

    You will do great! Make sure hubby or son films it for us!

    I definitely prefer my oats well on the other side of that line. LOL Almost like the oats are cereal in warmed milk.

    Me too I like to see the rolled oat. It's soft but still intact. I use old fashion oats for me.

    I have a chocolate premier protein shake warmed up for hot chocolate
    80g oats
    100 g strawberries
    100 g blueberries
    And 90 to 120 g banana (depending on the banana.)
    And some times I put Ghirardelli chocolate syrup
    Soo good.

    So I've made the decision that as of Monday next week I will be moving to maintenance/body recomp. Mainly because my lifts aren't progressing the way I want, which is due to cutting. GIVE ME ALL THE GAINS!

    I have to add 300 calories of carbs next week. No extra fat or protein...just carbs. Lots of oatmeal and rice for me!

    Yah I'm looking to add roughly 700 calories overall and a *kitten* ton of carbs. Seriously thinking of buying a bread maker and getting the carbs that way xD

    Love it!

    It should also say brushed my teeth & put on deodorant.

    Last week on my 7th day in a row at work I almost walked out of the house without brushing my teeth & I actually did forget to put on deodorant :#.

    I was thinking about this. You are going to have to either put up your calories, or lower your fat and protein to keep within the same amount of calories. You won't be able to increase carbs without changing your macros.

    Shut up Lois and have another coffee

    I confess that I have been sitting in the dark with just my desk lamp on for 30 minutes along with 2 other women. We are on overtime again and we don't like to light up the whole department before more than 3 of us are here. It's pretty obvious that we are here alone and security spends most of its night hours in the ED, which almost 1/2 a mile from my desk according to my fitbit.
