Weigh-in and Steel cut oats

I was really nervous about my weigh-in this morning..With it being TOM and all and I have not had the best weigh-ins this last month. Last week I weighed on the wrong day which was Tuesday and I weighed 189.5. I then weighed on Wednesday and I was up to 191.5 This morning I weighed 188.5
So I lost 4 POUNDS..I am thrilled with 4 pounds but I am still not seeing much scale movement. It is going up and down.. I hope with eating more whole grains and fish I will drop more pounds!
This morning I made Steel cut oats..Last night Jack made a batch to take to work this morning since they take a bit to cook. I had a couple bites and they are quite tasty.. Really good with a bit of honey. I don't know what I expected them to look or taste like. But they don't look anything like I pictured. I made a batch this morning only to realize I was not very hungry. So that just means there will be some already made up for tomorrow. That is a great thing about them. They are hardy enough to have the next day!!

Boil water...DUH !!! LOL

Even look healthier then rolled oats!!!

COOK 5 MINUTES


Lower heat and cook 20-30 minutes

Add a little honey or fruit

  3. They are way better for you..Kinda like the difference between white bread and whole grain bread..They have been around as long as oatmeal. I think quaker makes one but I have only seen the one that I have pictured. I think some of the grocery stores that have bins of food also sale them..
    They are really good and taste just like oatmeal but with a much better taste and texture. More hearty..Does not break down and get all soggy!They do cost more..But only a couple dollars more then the prepacked kind and being more hearty..The go alot further!
