***B-Time***

As usual, today's breakfast was D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S! Yes, I am still on the eggs and turkey bacon thing. This morning I made scrambled eggs with onion and peppers. I cut up half an onion and diced this. Put a little cooking spray in a skillet, and sauteed my onions with a bit of salt for a couple of minutes. I also had a yellow pepper, and diced up one quarter of this and threw it in the skillet as well. I also threw in about a teaspoon of cumin for some smoky flavor. I continued to sautee this for another 3-5 minutes, and then added an egg. I scrambled this up until the egg was done. I popped my turkey bacon in the microwave oven, only because I find it comes out more crispy, and I love crispy bacon! Once all this was done, I plated my eggs and sprinkled some cayenne pepper on top for some extra heat....delicious!
WW points:
Egg: 2
Onion: 0
Pepper: 0
Turkey Bacon: 1 (for all three slices!!!)
Total: 3 WW points -NOT BAD!!!
How was your breakfast?

How do you start of your day?

I believe all people need something to start off their day. Something that finally tells them, yes, now I am up and alert. What is this for me...COFFEE. Yes, every morning I need my coffee. I time my coffee machine to start brewing every morning at 7:00am, so I can leave my place with a nice fresh, steaming hot cup of coffee. I like my coffee with skim milk and one sugar. This is actually 1 WW point, but I will never skimp my points on my morning coffee, after all this is what gets me up. Also, I only need my coffee to be simple, only the milk and sugar. Now don't get me wrong, I love Starbucks coffee drinks, but will have them occassionaly, and only get a short vs. a tall. Also, I will get my drinks made with skim milk. Points values for these drinks, when ordered with skim milk and in a short, are usually 2 WW points. Alll Starbucks nutritionals are on their wonderful website: http://www.starbucks.com/. So, how do you start your day?

***B-Time (aka Breakfast time)***

Good Morning Everyone,
I am very happy, and Im happy because its the best time of the day....B-Time. B-Time is breakfast time, and this is where I get down to business. After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day ppls! If you do not eat breakfast, your not setting your metabolism for the rest of the day, and that's a big no no when trying to lose weight.
Now, I go through phases for breakfast. First, there was the oatmeal phase. Yes, I deligently bought boxes of oatmeal and kept them at my desk. Every morning for about three months I had Quaker Oatmeal (Lower Sugar version)- 2 WW pts. After that, I transistioned into the Cream of Wheat phase. Yes, Cream of Wheat. With half a banana. It's really good ( 2 WW pts. -made with water). After the CoW phase, I went to the sammie stage. Every morning I made a sandwhich with Arnold's bread, a boca burger and reduced fat cheese (3 WW pts.).
Right now, this morning, I decided to have an egg and turkey bacon. You have all now witnessed the beginning of anew phase. The egg is 2 WW pts. and the turkey bacon is 1 WW pt. FOR ALL THREE PIECES!!! Yes, this is Thin and Crispy Turkey Bacon by Butterball. One serving is 3 slices which has 50 calories and 3.5g of fat, which is 1 WW pt. My hearty breakfast is a total of 3 WW pts. -not bad!
Now, did you eat your breakfast this morning?
