no running

Well, I went to bed early and still felt too comfy and tired this morning to get up and give it a go. Jogging will have to wait.
I brought my farro to work for lunch. I'll have it with frozen collard greens, seasoned diced tomatoes, and whatever else I have in the fridge. I think there's an onion still.
I've figured out how to cook steel cut oats in the microwave for my breakfast so I can have them at work without getting up super early or planning ahead the night before. (I'm still enjoying the rest of the soyogurt with it. And cinnamon, and berries. Missing one ingredient ruins the whole meal.) Here's how you do it:
You need a large (microwave-safe) bowl
in which you pour the dry steel cut oats (get them bulk, it's much cheaper)
Fill with water to cover, maybe 1/2" - 1" over
Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Stir. Microwave on high another 3 minutes. Stir. Microwave on high another 3 minutes. Stir, check consistency. Microwave additional minute or 2 if needed to thicken/as preferred.
I prefer steel cut so much more to regular oats. I can't even eat regular oats anymore. They taste so processed and mushy. They taste like they don't have any fiber. I've gotten used to brown rice also and now when I have white rice it tastes so empty. I prefer the more filling texture of brown rice, farro, steel cut oats, etc.
The 1 cup of farro goes far. I didn't even finish my portion of it last night. I think I like farro even more than I like brown rice. Recommend.
I might try a light jog this evening. <--that would be me exercising
