You guys are the best! Thank you for all the responses about oatmeal. I actually made some this morning after my run! Speaking of my run, it was an "eh" kind of run. I did it, but not without a good amount of walking. I was glad when it was over. I added a hill into my run. The hill I've been avoiding since we moved back up here. And I ran up it once and walked up it once. It. Was. Intense. I don't know if it was the hill that made me so tired and "eh", but it wasn't an awesome run. I'll be repeating W6D2 for sure. Not a bad pace for most of the run portion. 2.84 miles completed.
Okay, now onto the oats. I'd like to try Overnight Oats, but I wanted to just try straight up oats first. I was going to do a peanut butter/banana, but I think I tried that before and didn't like it, so I just stuck with a basic cinnamon/sugar mixture.
Gathering Ingredients.
Oats. Skim milk. Cinnamon Almonds. Bowl. Measuring cup. Sugar.
1/2 c. of oats in the bowl.
1/2 c. of milk in the bowl. I added a splash more.
Ready to be nuked!
... And go!
"Mmm, I'm hungry. Let's have a snack!"
Overflowed. Guess I need a bigger bowl next time.
Ready!
"Oooh! Another add-in!"
Cinnamon Almonds. Peanut Butter. Sugar.
Looks pretty good!
But is it going to be good?
Hmm.
... Um...
It's a winner!
I ate about half of it and was satisfied. I'm gonna head out and do some yoga, then probably finish it up depending on if I'm hungry or not. The oats weren't awesome, but there were eatable. I'll definitely be trying it a bunch more times!
On a side note, Wells Fargo called me back this morning while I was out for my run. I tried to call her back when I got in, but I got the answering machine. I left a message, but she hasn't called yet. It's been over an hour. I think I'm going to call once more now. She didn't say any news, just wanted me to call her back. I don't know what to think. I'll keep you posted!
Update: still haven't heard from Wells Fargo, but I am enjoying my cold, leftover oats better than the warm, fresh oats.

Do you prefer your oats warm or cold?
After reading your first post I decided to try making regular oatmeal. Usually I used the packaged stuff and add some PB to it but at work we have the regular stuff so I did 1/2 cup of that with water and then added PB. I couldn't believe how filling it is. I was full all morning which usually never happens. Your oatmeal looked pretty good. I'm thinking maybe I need to pick up some almonds or garnola to add to mine.
