A word or two about breakfast...

Saturday mornings are work days in our house...whether it be out showing real estate somewhere, or just staying home cleaning, or general work around the house...we work!  What better way to start out a Saturday morning...than with a HUGE breakfast! 

Ham and cheese omlet: 2 eggs (4pp), one slice of ham (1pp), 1/2 slice of Provolone cheese (1pp) with salsa on top (0pp) - total for this huge omlet is just 6pp!  Then top that off with a huge bowl of fruit salad for '0'pp...and I'm full!  Really fuels my engine for the day ahead.  Remember, all you breakfast skippers out there - your body needs fuel after the evening fast- and you want to kick it into calorie burning mode within 1/2 hour of waking...so figure out what works for you.  It can be as small as a peice of fruit, an english muffin on the go...or as big as this breakfast of mine!  No matter...just grab something early in your day to get your engines revved up!

What about if you run out the door and forget breakfast?  On weigh-in day, I sometimes just have a peice of fruit before I go, than after the meeting I stop at McDonalds for an Egg McMuffin without the cheese for 7pp.  Or why not keep a peice of fruit (or more) at work as well as some snack sized baggies with nuts or raisins (or both) in single serving portions just for times like these?  Keep containers of low-fat or non-fat yougurt on hand (3-4pp each), frozen waffles (2 for 4pp), or other frozen breakfast items that can be 'grab and go' like Vita-Tops muffin tops.

Again - its all about thinking of your challenges and coming up with solutions that are workable for you.  Please leave a comment about things that help you ensure you get some type of breakfast in your day...you never know who will benefit from YOUR wisdom!  And thanks!
