Good Monday Morning BuddySlimmers 
Did everyone have a nice weekend. Lots of exercise??? good eating??? most of all did everyone have lots of fun???
As for me I’m exhausted…..maybe I’ve stopped drinking coffee, but I needed a cup this morning (or so I thought I did ) LOL….
Vacation is coming quick. I believe every year around this time my blog is asking others about tips and some advice.
My mother in law is the most wonderful person, with the biggest loving heart. So compasionate, generous and has a great sense of humor. There’s only 1 problem when we are on vacation. She loves to EAT!!!!! And I do to!!!
I’ve worked so hard to re-learn my eating habits, and am proud of this accomplishment. Back in the days, Pizza, Chinese Food, Big Macs, McDonalds breakfasts, chips, fritos, etc……were on a daily basis….Uuuggghhhh.
We’ve got the driving days all planned for eating. Thank goodness for our shakes…..they will work perfect along with some fruit and vegetables.
Hubby and I have been learning how to eat out. Now theres a challenge friends!!! We go online and check menus to particular restaurants. Most have nutrition, but some don’t. If they have no calorie/sodium counts we just use common sense.
This is for Anj (hope you can get online :) thank you for breakfast suggestions.
On Saturday morning my father wanted to take us out for breakfast. My type of breakfast will take my entire calorie limit for the day:(
Anj suggested egg beaters, fresh fruit and oatmeal.
At Dennys here in Michigan you can pick 4 items to create your own Grand Slam Breakfast. I choose
- Fresh fruit parfait (1/2 bannana, 1 strawberry sliced, 5 red grapes, 4 chunks fresh pineapple, cubed canelope) so deeeeeeeeelish
- 2 Eggbeaters
- Whole Wheat Toast
- Bowl of grits - no butter/1/4 cup shredded cheese
Thought I had done wonderful. Got home and checked the calories on grits…was so sad to find out they are 150 calories for 1/4 cup. I had at least 1/2 cup or more :( I figured about 700 calories or more for breakfast. Oh well, live and learn right ? It sure was good though!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!
