Hubby made what he knew has long been a favorite breakfast of mine--old-fashioned oatmeal. Didn't have the heart to tell him it was more carbs than I should start the day with so I added butter and cream to offset, and it did. Two perks of this: he had dished up the portion I used to eat, which was two cups; I could only eat half of it! And even that amount has left me quite full. I'll probably have a snack later (some veggie sticks, most likely) just to keep my levels stable, but I won't really want much more than that until dinner time. And I feel great about that. I mean, it's one of the reasons I've always loved old-fashioned oatmeal--it's filling and long-lasting.
This is big chore day.
-Working my way through a mountain of laundry (thanks, Teen daughter who throws everything on the floor so that clean and dirty are thoroughly mixed! Guess who's gonna see a lot less clean stuff? That's right. The same things I've washed that were never-worn for the last month are being packed up to donate.)
-Got a piece of very lean beef searing, and it will go into the oven to roast for dinner, along with root vegetables later on.
-It's also prep day. Today I am making salads: tuna salad, egg salad, and chicken/cabbage salad. I am making veggie sticks: carrot, celery, zucchini and cucumber. I am peeling grapefruit. I am making peach melba tofu 'yogurt' which is an old favorite breakfast. I am making strawberry yogurt 'pudding' for a wonderful light dessert or snack. Both of these are loaded with protein.
-Brewing sun tea (okay, countertop tea.)
-Feeding Audrey so I can make whole grain bread tomorrow.
And after that, who knows? I love busy-at-home days.
