February 20 - Healthy Breakfast
Don't let your food beat up on YOU!
We're told that Breakfast is the best way to start the morning and it can set your metabolism right for the rest of the day. But what foods do we choose? A sugary cereal? A piece of fruit? Oatmeal? Does it really matter if all you do is count calories?
Question of the Day:
Are you a breakfast eater? What is your go-to meal?
If you're not a breakfast eater, what is your meal plan instead?
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE breakfast! I could eat it three meals day (and sometimes I do!). I AM a breakfast eater and since I rise really early some days for online work, I have to limit myself to NOT eating breakfast before 7:00 am most days. If I am hungry when I rise (as early as 3:45 am some days) I limit myself to fruit and coffee until about 7 am.
Go-to meal is plain fat-free greek yogurt (sweetened with liquid stevia) with fruit (usually defrosted frozen triple berry blend or defrosted frozen mango chunks.... but sometimes fresh fruit or canned pineapple or homemade rhubarb sauce).... occasionally with a Tb of whey protein powder mixed in or a Tb of wheat bran or a few chopped nuts.
Second in line for go-to would be avocado toast (grainy toast spread with mashed avocado and 1 fried egg), and third in line would probably be oatmeal. I love all kinds of oatmeal (steel cut cooked in the crockpot overnight, old-fashioned oats cooked with almond milk, overnight oats with fruit), but like others here I try to watch my carbs most of the time.
Last, but certainly not least would be eggs (both whole and egg whites). But we have eggs for dinner often enough that I don't always need to have them for breakfast. In fact, for dinner tonight we had my change-it-up breakfast bowls with black beans and sprouts.
Other things I have for breakfast occasionally include homemade egg sandwiches, smoothies, and dinner leftovers.
Great question!! I love to hear what others eat....

Hey all! Busy weekend working to continue to clean out my DMIL's house and then a quick visit to DD to see her before she left on a trip to Texas (to attend a conference). Then, of course, work all this week and then February school vacation week next week (but I still have my WW jobs to do).
For anyone who may be wondering, my burned face is TREMENDOUSLY better! Still have some redness and just a bit of healing wounds along the hairline, but overall you wouldn't even notice. I consider myself every lucky that it wasn't worse. I know I'll have to be super careful of my face in the sun this spring and summer, as the "fresh" skin will be super sensitive.
It looks like some of you are making some SOLID progress this month! WTG! It is nice to see folks still hanging around and working hard at a healthier life after the "newness" of the new year has worn off!..............P
