Pro tip: you can hide a cube of frozen spinach in a large bowl of oatmeal and it will be practically indiscernible (other than the fact that your oatmeal is now green). It probably helps that, having been pulverized in the blender, there are no bits that get stuck in your teeth.
I don't know about you, but any day I can get in some dark green leafy vegetable without really noticing is a win in my book. It is something of a joke (ha ha, it is to laugh ...) in my husband's family that I do not eat green vegetables. This is untrue. I will happily eat my weight in green bell peppers, cucumbers, and spinach-mixed-with-any-kind-of-melted-cheese. Pretty much all others are suspect, though.
This week I have been avoiding thinking about eating, weight and weight-losing. I feel like this particular week that's ok. Last Sunday The Husband and I had a major heart to heart, which resulted in several changes about the way we run our little home, including, now, a husband-wife Bible time at night after the kiddos say goodnight. (woot! woot!) There were several gut-wrenching, shamefully petty things (why is it that the gut-wrenching is often also petty?) that I admitted to and am trying to change, with modest success. So I feel like, even though I haven't been monitoring my intake well (there's been a fair bit of sugar going down the hatch), my energies have been focused on some pretty positive changes for me and mi familias (no idea why that came out in Spanish), and I'm definitely going to cut myself some slack.
The number: 258
Go forth and eat green oatmeal, mis amigos!
