Oatmeal

I've been on this huge oatmeal kick. I like it cooked in water with a banana and raisins and dried apricots and topped with walnuts and almonds.

MMMMMMMMMMM. It's so easy and delicious! Especially at work. Zap it for three minutes and it's done. 1/2 as much oatmeal as water. More or less! The other beauty of it.

And again, I am off the cheese, more or less. My housemate has gone vegan so he doesn't buy cheese, so I don't buy cheese, and all of a sudden no more quesadillas in bed!

I am trying to lose some weight. I hate saying that, because I really want to be ok with my body. But I'm not.

I'm going with the "reduce your calorie intake by 500 calories a day, 1/2 in food, and the other 250 in exercise, lb a week" technique.

The elliptical is my new best friend. It is very pleasant to not think about ONE GODDAMN THING for a 1/2 hour. Be still rabbit brain!

Have been quite consistent with the yoga. And am seeing progress in strength and balance. Nice things both.

Quick and dirty Miso Soup

Put 1 T White Miso in a mug. Fill with boiling water. Voila!

Nice all the time, but especially when you're sick. A squeeze of lemon is nice as well.
Don't boil the miso in the water, it will destroy the happy enzymes. At work I just use the hot water from the water cooler. Cooler/Heater I suppose is more accurate.

I am going to have some miso now.
