 so, y'know, skip it if you don't want to read about that.

Today was another C25K day. I wanted to do it outside, again, but I totally failed at getting up early enough for that, plus there was a dusting of snow on the ground, which, while it was pretty trivial in the New England scheme of things, did not seem like the best idea given my propensity

Add peanut butter or nuts to your oatmeal on oatmeal days, and switch to eggs a few days a week. But you may not want to do eggs as your protein on all days because of the cholesterol. Also, nuts/peanut butter have very good fats.

Greek yogurt is a very good option. Eldest child does smoothies with Greek yogurt and protein powder and almond milk and frozen fruit and loves them.

I don't like peanut butter unless I'm making spicy peanut sauce. I also don't like crunchy chunks in my oatmeal. And it's not dietary cholesterol that the body uses to make its own cholesterol, it's saturated fats. So if I don't go overboard on the butter for cooking the eggs, I'm good, especially since my cholesterol is basically not an issue.

I'm also not a huge fan of smoothies, unless it's very hot out and I can't look at food generally -- and even then I'd rather make cucumber dill yogurt soup in the blender than a smoothie. So the trick will be finding the right additives to the Greek yogurt to make it something I want to eat.

...hmm. Considering that I'm making an internal yuck-face at all of the potential sweet additions to Greek yogurt, what I ought to do is go to the local Penzey's and check out their seasoning blends, buy some celery, cut it into sticks, and call it dip.
