Healthy Breakfast
I’m now on an 8 Day Streak according to WP. It’s always tempting to see how far I can extend it, but it also doesn’t really mean much and I am tempted to break it deliberately. Yes, I’m feeling iconoclastic, and much better.
Apart from the last post, what did I do today? Well, I published before I had all the bits and pieces added, so had to add tags and photos after the event. Not that the photos were much good – just a a dull bronze medal from several angles.
I had an email turning down a haiku submission, but that’s par for the course. I only send them to show willing and to ensure I stay tough in the face of repeated rejection. They were good enough to be polished and used again, so that’s all for the good.
It was a two injection night, so those are still stinging as I write this. They aren’t bad, but sometimes they are painless, so this is not quite as good as it could be. However, it’s a long way from the days when I used to have ten pills that upset my stomach and an injection fro something like a stirrup pump tipped with a six inch nail. In other words, things are going well, but I do love a good moan. It’s the sorry of modern life – things are really quite good for those of us who have a roof and four walls, the trick is appreciating it.
Sunday fades, the sound of snoring is heard and night passes. It is now Monday morning and I am up and eager. I had a welcome arrival in my WP today – a post from a man who appreciates breakfast. He also used to be part of the Bread Group on the farm.
Proper Breakfast
So there you have it, a Monday morning blog containing a bit of dislocated Sunday and Sunday and a touch of Monday morning. I’m hungry now, and thinking about potatoes for breakfast (an idea my new focus on weight control quickly quashed) and soda bread (ditto). I may well do soda bread later, but it will be to go with the ratatouille for tea, not just because I’m peckish.
If my new plans for weight control go well there’s a possibility that I may merely be overweight by the end of the year. Who can tell? At the moment I have the desire for a full English, I have the ingredients for half of one (ran out of bacon and black pudding over the weekend) and the sort of calorie target that will allow me to have five flakes of cereal and a sniff of the toaster. It’s going to be a long, hard year.
McDonald’s Breakfast – my downfall
Phew, those are quite the breakfasts! Being a Franco-American, I am more of a croissant kind of person when it comes to a special breakfast. But my husband, whose ancestors came from the British Isles, loves that kind of breakfast. What’s bred (or bread?) in the bone?
Julia likes croissants. , but I see them as a garnish rather than a foodstuff. However, life would be dull if we all liked the same things.
You bet!
The weight loss program might be hard pushed to survive many proper breakfasts.
I try to limit myself, and my larger breakfasts rarely have the full set of ingredients.
I love breakfast sausage patties…
Mmmm . . . My problem is that I like all he things that are bad for me.
Me too
🙂
I am one who resides in the healthy breakfast mode of existence.
Your former medication schedule sounds terrible! I do agree, appreciating what one has is a good thing.
I’m 80:20 with breakfasts. Mostly healthy, sometimes not.
Proper breakfast sometimes does me for brunch
We tend do that when we have one. Spread between two meals the calories aren’t quite so bad.
I am more inclined to eat the ‘healthy Breakfast’. I would enjoy one of your “Proper Breakfasts” but only now and then.
That’s the problem with decent breakfasts – they were great when I used to eat them then spend all morning lifting stuff and burning hem off. Eating one and sitting at a keyboard is not a good thing. 🙂
Agree wholeheartedly.
