1. Look for lean protein. Eggs and egg whites most often come to mind when we think of breakfast protein foods, but beans, fish, chicken and lean beef make excellent options, too. Try a beef or chicken fajita omelet or breakfast burrito.
2 . Try cold oats. Mix rolled oats with any liquid, such as milk or yogurt, in a 1:1 ratio in a glass jar. Stir in fruit and a sweetener, such as honey, brown sugar, etc., if desired. Add spices such as cinnamon, ginger or nutmeg, as desired. Shake to mix well and refrigerate overnight. Enjoy the next morning.
3 . Be careful when choosing cereal bars, frozen meals or ready-to-eat cereals. Many times these have many calories, added sugars, fats and unwanted additional ingredients or preservatives. Experiment with making your own for the week or making some and freezing them. This way you know exactly what foods are going into the meals you eat.
Words of Widom:
Do not condemn the judgment of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
Be not afraid of going slowly; be afraid only of standing still.
Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small.
A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

My daughter , to know you is to love you and the loving is mutual .
Your only dad
Breakfast is my favorite meal! Our three daughters were never out the door to school without breakfast! I even found something the fussier one would eat before leaving!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I love the saying about looking at the closed door too long. We need always to be open to opportunities around us.
Have a great day!
My dear lady Ms. Nellie ,
DeleteYou and I think alike , if I skip a meal it will be lunch . You are blessed to have three loving daughters and there is always a kid in the bunch that is fussy about eating , but mothers always find a way .
Thank you so very much and it's so very true , we miss a lot of opportunities looking at a closed door .
And a great day to you my Lady !
Poppa , we have breakfast every morning , on Saturday we want to sleep late . Mama say get up and eat breakfast and we can sleep in . Poppa after breakfast we are not sleepy . Poppa mama say stop playing with your food , mama say if you are not playing with your food you are stealing MeMa mama is so funny .
ReplyDeleteWe love you poppa .
