Bust! I deviated greatly from my original plan and did not eat only oatmeal today. I hang my head in shame as I confess that I had pizza and salad for lunch. In fairness, I was invited last-minute to meet my uncle who I see only every 4 – 5 years. It was an absolute pleasure to hear from him and I was excited to see him. I thought it would be better to simply put my oatmeal on-hold than bring a bowl of cooked oatmeal to lunch and try to explain.
My first 2 servings went as planned, first at 5:30AM and the second at 9:00AM. For the second serving I withheld honey which turned out to be a tasteless idea. Haha! Seriously, it was a little bland. To make up for the lack of sweetener I added salt; I don’t know if that actually works as an appropriate substitute…Hmmm. I managed to get it all down, and washed both servings down with 8 ounces of water.
A further deviation was at lunch drinking Diet Dr Pepper and coming home to 12 ounces of Mountain Dew Game Fuel, a specially made MW3-inspired beverage. Aaah. It’s delicious.
So what’s the plan, drop the diet like I never started, or get back on the horse and try again. I’m getting back up, dusting myself off and continuing for the remaining 5 days. Oh, I had a banana with peanut butter this evening. I have to admit, eating only oatmeal makes for an interesting…experience…in the…bathroom. *ahem* If you know what I mean. Less substance, more oatmeal. Ewww. TMI, I know. I’m sorry, but truth be told – it’s unusual and mildly uncomfortable. I ate the banana to compensate.
Tomorrow I’m back on schedule just as originally planned. Unless another long, lost uncle (or aunt for that matter) rings my tele and invites me to lunch I’ll continue eating just oatmeal.
