Eat Your Oatmeal

Breakfast

FacebookTweetPin
22 Feb

Okay, okay… I’ll give oatmeal another shot. I keep saying that I’m not the biggest fan of this breakfast, but I made Ben a batch yesterday and I was really good!

So, today I listened to this man and made some for myself. eat the oats

The good news is, if I don’t like oats – my cat will help me out.

Cat face in my oats…

Cat feet in my food…

In my defense, it is very cold in Southern California today and I needed a warm breakfast!image

You guys know I can’t handle the C word. So my brain was partly frozen and I needed something to thaw it.

I’m running with a group tonight, so no run this morning. I hope it’s not freezing by then!

Question: Who’s ready for Spring or Summer or some kind of warmth?!

    I’m so ready for warm weather. I’m from Idaho and keep threatening everyone in my life that I’m moving someplace warm! I can’t believe I’ve lived here all my life–the cold puts me in such a cranky mood. Today the sun was shining and it was snowing, bleh!!!

    Laughed when I saw your post title…Read it while eating my daily batch of overnight oats~ I am addicted to these!! I cannot do dry oats mixed with stuff, or cooked into stuff. Some PB, Choco PB2 powder, SF syrup and Chocolate Soy milk mixed into my Overnight Oats is always a yummy treat! We are supposed to finally warm up here in Okinawa, so it will be a nice way to enjoy the outdoor runs more 🙂

    As Southern Californians we technically do not have a right to complain about the weather but I agree… 60 is too cold. Bring on the weather which will lead to bathing at the beach!

    I with ya on the oats. I keep trying to love it. I FEEL like I should love it. But I don’t always love it. I kinda just mildly like it. And that’s on a good day 🙂

    I was running in Pasadena this morning and was utterly freezing (it was teetering between 39 and 40 on my thermostat)!! We So Cal people are NOT used to temps below 60. The wind made it worse. But then again, it could be 90 right now, which I am NOT cool with. You can say I can’t deal with the H-word. =)

    I like this weather in L.A. right now. It’s kinda cold in the mornings (the news says 44 when I leave, but I don’t believe it..), but once I start running I feel fine. (I go out at 5:30 in the morning with just a wick wear shirt and shorts-and recently a beanie, it keeps my ears from feeling weird and my hair from getting crazy, lol) I HATE running in the heat. (which is why I started running so early in the Summer) or even mild warmth, at least at first. Once I get into it I’m fine, but I also try to wear as little as possible, lol. One thing I did notice on Sunday though- I got wind burn on my legs from the cold! Hehe, weird >.>

      I start at 6, and it’s usually around 40 according to my measurements. I agree though, better than heat!!

    Ugh it’s freezing here today! I resorted to running indoors and the news forecast said it was 15-20* with the windchill. Joy. I ate breakfast after my run so I had yogurt though lol. I was immediately cold again. Nice right! lol

    I used to think that oatmeal was disgusting. What I figured out was that I don’t like piping hot oatmeal. The warm milk just turns me off. So I make my oatmeal before I hop in the shower, therefore it’s closer to room temperature. Much better!

    I think it’s warmer outside there than it is here in my Mom’s house. It’s like a freakin’ ice box here. Oh, and your low is higher than our high temps today. Gross. I hate winter.

    That is short sleeves weather, not oatmeal weather!

    I used to like oatmeal. Now my baby LOVES oatmeal and she loves it so much and eats it with such gusto that I usually get it in my hair. Then I get to smell oatmeal all day. Now I hate oatmeal. 🙂

    I ditto everyone who has already said their jealous of your weather – it’s currently 22º here in Michigan and the “feels like” is 9º! We’re supposed to warm up later this week to the mid-30s…party time! 🙂

    I hate when SoCal is all pretty and sunny, and then you step outside and BOOM COLD. It’s like the weather is messing with us.

    I am dreaming of 56 🙂 and also of summer and spring. Can’t wait until I can put away the big puffy north face coat. I am with you, not an oatmeal fan. Want to like it because it’s healthy and pretty, but it doesn’t work for me

    I would die for it to be 56 here! I am beyond ready for warmth and sun. I know it’s on it’s way, I just hope I don’t freeze to death before it gets here.

    Umm.. that’s cold for you? It’s currently 17 degrees where I am (Boston). I would give my future first-born child to be in that warm Cali weather right now. Ok, maybe that’s too extreme. But this weather is driving me a bit crazy! 😉

      I think it’s a lot colder in my house now that I think about it… I’m super cheap about the heater being on 🙁 It’s still not 17 though, keep warm!

    I’m dying for spring and summer. I am so not a winter person. Why do I live in the northeast then? I’m a glutton for punishment and I like having something to constantly complain about.
