I was only partially kidding around the other day with my “Make Good Choices!” post. I forget to eat breakfast a lot. Because of medication, I can’t eat for an hour after I get up. By then, I’ve become absorbed by the day’s activities, and it’s often several hours before I realize I haven’t eaten. This is NOT GOOD.

Funny thing is, I never forget to get online. Or that I have a blog. Or that I like taking photographs. That’s why there will sometimes be coffee cup or breakfast photos on my blog. It’s not because I think you care what I’m eating. It’s because this is one way I have of encouraging myself to make healthy choices or even to remember that I need to eat. If it reminds someone else to make good choices, too, then…yay! Don’t forget your glass of water with every meal.


Healthy: maple cinnamon oatmeal with fresh raspberries; Light & Fit blueberry yogurt with fresh blueberries added.


The once-a-week-love-fest: eggs (fried yes, but using canola cooking spray), bacon, half a fresh orange with fresh blueberries, dry wheat toast. Tankard of coffee with Sweet and Low and fat-free Half & Half. No one understands fat-free Half & Half, so don’t torment yourself trying to make logic of it.


A little frosted indulgence: mini wheats with fresh raspberries in one percent milk; half an orange.
