Stuffed With The Real Deal

Did ya know? 346 million bowls of oatmeal are consumed every year!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!

Backtracking to this AM….

I was so excited about today (and I have that killer body clock) that I woke up at 5:45 this morning with my mind racing. I figured I’d make my way down to the gym and use the time wisely. I found MizFit and Roni already on the ellipticals! The gym was really nice for a hotel. I spent about 40 minutes on the elliptical watching TV. It was great to sweat and I chugged water too.

I was cleansed inside and out this morning. First with my workout, and then with fabulous Aveda products in my fabulous bathroom! I sashayed around my hotel room in my robe looking at the city scape. So fun!

While I was getting ready I made some hot water for tea in the coffee pot. I found a really good Earl Gray tea bag too.

I didn’t think I could wait until 9:30 to eat so I snacked on some trail mix that I brought from home as well –

Then we arrived at the Pepsi-Co Headquarters for the day to begin.

And arrived to the Oatmealpalooza Bar!

Today’s combo

:mrgreen: this !

  • 1/2 packet Pumpkin Spice oatmeal (on the bottom – it’s good! Available only at Wal-Mart for a limited time)
  • Rolled oats
  • Steel cut oats
  • Splash soy milk
  • Golden raisins
  • A few walnuts
  • A few blueberries
  • Cinnamon
  • Organic PB!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to the event organizers for making my day!

Plus coffee. I’m stuffed now!

We started the day with a talk by a food scientist who reminded us that steel cut, old fashioned, and instant oats all have identical nutritional stats. All are great for you!

    So jealous, wish I could be a part of this. All the goodies look yummy and it’s fun to learn more about oats from everyone Tweeting.

    I mentioned it on Jenna’s blog but just in case anyone wants to keep up with everything from this weekend, all tweets with #quaker will show up on one page to make it easier to follow. Just go to http://search.twitter.com and plug in quaker in the search and keep refreshing throughout the day.

    Have a great rest of the day!

    Oh and The Talleys (childhood friend’s parents) eat oatmeal every single morning. Found that out today at Mrytle Boyce’s funeral. (Mrytle is a church lady who lived to be 93. I bet she ate oatmeal every morning too!)

    Kath! This trip looks like a ton of fun. Are you staying in the Renaissance hotel? Looks like it from your view! Also, I have a type-writer-key bracelet just like yours. :). [I think that’s what’s on your wrist]. Enjoy your pampering!

    I’ve seen those bracelets but none as nice as yours – I love the bits in between the letters. Where did you get yours?
