Good Friday Morning!

by

So - what did you all eat for breakfast this morning? They say (the infamous “they”) that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

As such - the most important meal, that is - we need to view it as the foundation for the rest of our day.

I am not a big breakfast eater - it takes a lot for me to bother about fixing something other than a quick cup of coffee. But I know that it is important to take that time. In my head I know that. So what do we do about making sure we take care of that necessity and still get everything else done that needs to be done?

Hubby, who is the diabetic, has his morning down pretty pat - he gets up and sits for a bit to wake up. Then he has a bowl of oaty o’s (you know the “C” cereal) with 1% milk and a piece of wheat toast and a cup of coffee (or a pot of coffee).

I need a bit more variety, so I often will opt for an English muffin - with or without peanut butter and banana, or a bowl of instant oatmeal - with or without toast or muffin, or sometimes I will take the extra time to mix up a fruit smoothie.

Then it is off to work and thoughts of what to have for lunch mid-day or dinner that evening.

Funny, isn’t it, how our days and our thoughts are focused so much on the food we are going to/willing to place into our bodies?

Hoping you have a healthy, well-fed weekend, everyone.
