+What she makes Stedman for dinner—and much more.
+:00 a.m. “Yesterday I got up at 6. I was going to get up at 5:30, but at 1 a.m. I sent an e-mail to security saying, ‘Give me an extra half hour.’ I got to the office about 6:30 and got on the treadmill downstairs in the gym. [While on the treadmill] I play Scrabble on my iPad, against the computer.”
+:30 a.m. “I got in the makeup chair, then did two shows.”
+:30 a.m. “I drank a green drink—spinach, parsley, a little bit of apple juice, celery, and cucumbers in a blender—and made some phone calls. I had to call Africa, and you have to do that before everybody goes to bed over there.”

I was embarrassed to stay at 10, so I moved to 20. I was like [ panting]—but I was going to keep it there.”
+:50 p.m. “This almost never happens, but I came home at the same time as Stedman [Graham, Oprah’s longtime love]. I made him something for dinner—leftover shrimp and rice, a little salad with lettuce, olive oil. I shaved some truffles, chopped up rosemary. I made it for him; I had a rice cake with almond butter. I’m trying not to eat past 7:30. I sat at the kitchen table and we talked for maybe 30 minutes, then I went to bed.
+:00 p.m. “I took my little stack of books to bed. I was trying to figure out what the next book club [selection] was going to be.” [She chose Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities.]
