DAY FOUR : ) & Steel cut oats breakfast

This is my 4th day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Planing this 21 day raw challenge is making a difference.
I've tried this before and couldn't really do it (plus for some reason whenever I was trying to eat raw I felt deprived of good foods - this time around I'm feeling no deprivation, hurray!!!!!)
BUT... back to planning... I did have to sit down, say a prayer (I learned on my mission that planning sessions go so much better if you have Father's help) and write down concrete/specific ideas for meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Then I went through my 'basillion' = 'lots and lots' recipes and chose the ones that I would like, were simple and had ingredients that I have access to, then, based on that list of meals I also wrote a grocery list (the things I didn't have at home and needed to get). This little bit of planning is helping me a lot I think.

Now, the breakfast:
raw steel cut oats (it's yummy, very filling, and as far as I know, very healthy)

-1/2 cup steel cut oats (u can do it with normal oats, but it's not as good) you soak them the night before (just put them in your cereal bowl and cover them w/ water)

-one or two tsp raw almond/cashew/whatever butter

-one tsp raw cacau/cocoa

-a little bit of either stevia or agave

this keeps me full all morning!!!!!!! Even when I teach my workout classes.
