I have <abbr class='c2c-text-hover' title='Physical Therapy'>PT<\/abbr> this morning and then it&#8217;s off to the grocery store for t-day stuff and regular grocery shopping.  I know we&#8217;re going to be gone a while so I need oat power to get me through.  Very basic oats today with the addition of vanilla whey protein powder!  I love my morning oats but I am starving by lunch time.  I&#8217;m trying to see if the extra protein helps add in some staying power.  I know the extra fiber from pumpkin does and as much as I love pumpkin oats, I don&#8217;t want them everyday.  Hence, the experimenting with the whey.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3\/4 C of vanilla soymilk<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 C quick oats<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 scoop of the protein powder (wanted to make sure it didn&#8217;t effect the taste too much)<\/li>\n<li>1 mashed banana<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of salt and cinnamon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I tasted the oats before adding in my mix-ins and it tasted like normal oats!  Hooray!  I was afraid the protein powder might alter the taste to something unpleasant.   Mix-ins were cranberries and a spoon of chocolate <abbr class='c2c-text-hover' title='Peanut Butter'>PB<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1784\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-24-08_breakfast.jpg\" data-rel=\"attachment-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1784\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1784\" title=\"ohc-11-24-08_breakfast\" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-24-08_breakfast-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Breakfast\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-24-08_breakfast-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-24-08_breakfast.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1784\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Breakfast<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Had that along with morning coffee + creamer which was perfectly hot this morning.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s raining outside.

Yuck.<\/p>\n<p>I feel like my eating has been so off lately and I keep telling myself that I&#8217;m not going to drop these last 20lbs if I keep doing what I&#8217;m doing.
