Breakfast this morning was a bowl of steel-cut oats with brown sugar, soy milk, and pecan halves. I weighed in at 158 pounds. The cereal is Organic Steel-Cut Oats from King Arthur Flour. If you have any feeling at all for oatmeal, give this a try. They require a little more effort, but I think they have much more flavor and a more interesting texture. The brown sugar, soy milk, and pecan halves are not really necessary. I just like to dress it up a little. It is good all by itself. Walnuts are good in there, too, or a little heavy cream in place of the soy milk, if you like that sort of thing.
I had an orange for lunch today. Since it was so nasty outside today I decided to forego my walk in favor of some calesthenics: 10 toe-touchers, 10 lunges, 10 sit-ups, 10 push-ups, 10 squats.
I broke down and had a bag of Middleswarth Kitchen Fresh Bar-B-Q Flavored Potato Chips.
Dinner was Hodgson Mill’s Whole Wheat Fettuccine (it was on sale) with Gretchen’s Pork Sausage Tomato Sauce, a slice of her stone-baked Italian bread, and two glasses of Bolla Valpolicella (and a hand full of dry roasted unsalted peanuts for dessert).
