    I've just started eating my oatmeal savory instead of sweet. I love it! Anyone else do this?

    I tried it for a bit but really prefer a sweeter breakfast so my oatmeal will always be with fruit, and greek yoghurt with a scoop of protein powder to get that protein in my breakfast somehow.

    Yeah, my breakfast is always sweet too. I had the savory oatmeal as a snack after dinner. :)

    Tami, I just made the oatmeal and used some Braggs liquid aminos, garlic powder, and broccoli. I might try it with some parmesan cheese tonight. You can basically make it any way that you would any other grain..like rice, quinoa, etc.
    I've heard of a lot of people topping it with an egg, using hot sauce... lots of ideas.

    Confession: vertigo stinks.
    I sneezed yesterday, my ear popped and I have been dizzy and nauseated ever since. I had to leave work yesterday and stayed home today.

    Oh bless your heart!!!! Vertigo put me in bed for a week earlier this year. I feel your pain!!!

    I couldn't walk a straight line to the coffee pot so I decided against driving.

    Uh, yes. Wise choice. :lol:

    Hope you feel better soon! <3

    I'm not a massive oatmeal fan to begin with. I don't like the texture.
    I'll only have a small amount with soaked chia and greek yogurt. By small I mean 20g. Enough to bulk it out a bit.

    I'm ok with the texture of oatmeal. You don't mind the gel-like chia seeds? I tried them a few years ago and :s:s

    If it’s mixed up with yogurt and things like blackberries or raspberries then you can’t tell if it’s a chia seed or a fruit seed.

    I cant get past the appearance of chia seeds. They look like fish eggs to me. :s

    I know what you mean. I always think it looks like frogspawn.
    Trouble is, I can't eat them dry. It took me ages to figure out that if I eat them unsoaked I get really bad stomach pains. I only found out when I ran out and the pain stopped, then I bought more and it started again.

    I can't do chia, either. The mouth-feel skeeves me out.

    My son loves these, and I can't even stand to watch him drink them. He tries to make me take a drink... :s

    It's good that he drinks it though! I wouldn't think a kid his age would be interested in drinking anything remotely as healthy as that! :lol:

    Confession: I am being a real b!+¢# today... much more than a regular day.

    I am doing an extensive detox and I’m guessing yesterday and today are the days all the toxins are being squeezed out of my cells.

    I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck!!!!

    Remind me how awesome I will feel next week?

    Btw - in a week I’ve dropped 7 lbs and 1.5” from my waist. I know this is mostly gunk and not fat - but makes me very happy!!!

    I have seen people drink them. Turns my stomach. I haven't personally tried them.

    This stuff is delicious food crack!

    The confession is apparently Trader Joe's old Pumpkin Spice Cookie Butter is better & I'm jealous that I don't live near a Trader Joe's & never got to try it!

    I've still never tried it in case it's too delicious. I also believe I don't like coca cola, but who knows in reality!?

    Today was a sad morning for me.

    Last night I took out a tub of red velvet Halo Top to soften and I forgot about it and went to bed. Woke up and found a warm tub of red velvet milk in the sink this morning. :(

    If I remember correctly, she also doesn't like pizza! What do you think about that? :o

    Sorry about your Halo Top!

    I confess I found my favorite class at Vida Hot Yoga. Buti @ 95-97 F. Fun times. And my friend Kristen was there for her first Buti class too. Unexpected, but nice to have a buddy in class.

    Chan-Man is adorable. But Atlas is definitely competition. ;)

    Rachael actually took those pictures. She caught him in mid blink, but it does look like he's just smiling the biggest smile ever. I love his cute smooshface.

    Atlas is definitely a cutie, but will he smile for the camera? :grin:

    P.S.
    He looks like velvet. Is he really soft? He looks soft. I wanna pet your dog...

    sometimes, more often than I want to admit - I go through binge and restrict cycles. I am trying to find a balance between the two so i can stop

    I totally understand this!!!! As long as I stay “good” then I am good.... but that one Oreo can start a total week long binge - or 6 months in my last go round.


    So me, I have to stay "good" as well or else.

    He's still puppy-soft! So velvety! I hope his coat doesn't get more coarse as he ages.
