Zone Day 49: Breakfast!

Hello Zoners! (or Zone wanna-be peeps!)

So, yesterday morning, as some of you know, I had WAY TOO MUCH oatmeal (even though the Zone recipe called for it). Today, though, I scaled back a bit--there's no sense in making myself sick, and it's important to listen to my body. The breakfast I made is a 3 block meal, and any missed block requirements I'll make up with my morning snack! (Maybe this way I'll actually remember my snacks and water)
Rolled Oats, Fruit and Turkey Bacon

Ingredients:
1/3 cup (dry) rolled oats (this kind has the same nutritional value as steel cut. And I have to cook it for like 15-25 minutes) (1C)
1/2 cup water (for the boiling of the oats)
8 cherries (1C)
1/3 cup blueberries (.5C)
3 turkey bacon slices (mine are just halved) (1.5P)
A sprinkling of Stevia and a dash of almond milk (for the oatmeal) (some amount of protein lol)
1 tbsp almonds, slivered (not pictured because I forgot them nearly half way through)

Directions: When water comes to a boil, add the oats and cook, stirring occasionally for 15-25 minutes (depending on your liking). Put almonds on top, and Stevia and the milk. Cook bacon in a small to medium pan. Serve fruit on the side.

It's pretty simple, and so tasty. I was closer to a 3-block meal than I thought--still, I WILL EAT my snack this morning!
Yoga is tonight, and I'm so excited. How many of you yoga? :)
