Finding Radiance

I cannot take credit for the custard oats idea  I read about them on Susan’s blog and Tay’s blog.
Basically, it’s just oats with an egg whisked in.  Takes about 5 minutes.  Pretty simple, eh?  This is my version. Yesterday’s oats were a pumpkin custard.
Ingredients:

1/4 cup of liquid egg whites
1/2 cup of canned pumpkin (from my [...]

I am so tired! I decided last night to let myself take a day off from exercise today and sleep in a little, which was kind of nice
I was out late last night doing dog training and then shopping for that last minute outfit.  FYI – we don’t own a dog, just this [...]

John and I met my mother for breakfast this morning.  No workout today.  I am taking it easy for my back.  We met at Cafe on The Park:

Tiny place with a maximum occupancy of 27, but I don’t know where that many people would fit!  The prices are so low here, it’s crazy.  I would [...]

Woke up this morning and it was again 32 degrees!  I was going to run outside as I don’t like to drive to the gym just to run unless it is precipitating horribly outside.  So, I made some fantabulous oats for breakfast and got right to work:

40 grams of oats, 1 medium banana (part cooked [...]

It’s so cold out!  I wanted an outside bike ride, but again, this morning it was 30 degrees when I woke up.  So, I waited until later.  I am going to put flannel sheets on the bed tonight (I am such a dork to get excited about that…).
It was definitely a morning for warm oats.  [...]

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Today is my hump day.
In honor of breast cancer awareness month, I am going to take a picture of something pink every day for the rest of October.  Here is today’s item.

I flipped my schedule around today and got to work at 7:30 this morning!  It was cold this morning and I [...]

I actually slept until 7 a.m. this morning!  Yay!  It’s so hard for me to sleep that late, although I didn’t get to bed until after midnight.
It looked pretty cloudy this morning, so we weren’t sure if we were going to be able to ride or not.
Breakfast was so yummy:

40 grams oats
4 grams cocoa powder
1 [...]

In fact, this was the breakfast I had before running a PR at the 5K in April

It is really gorgeous here!  I have to say that I like WordPress a lot for blogging, so I will likely be posting more than once a day (you lucky readers   )
Started off the day at the Y with a little brick workout.  I swam  650 yards (26 laps) then rode the stationary [...]

In response to the comments, here are some tips on cooking oatmeal and oat bran:
I never use instant oats, so don’t use these cooking directions for them. Rolled oats really only take 5 minutes to cook, and it really is worth it compared to the instant. I think they are much more filling [...]
