Something has got to give.....

You know what, I swore I wasn't a breakfast person either.  But just as everyone has said, once I started eating breakfast (which is a cup of coffee adn a banana or  crunchy Nature Valley granola bar, or dannon yogurt (60 cal.)), I felt so much better and enerized during the day.  And it made such a difference in my day.  I was always fun and energetic with my Preschoolers, but now I don't get wiped as soon!  Let me tell you, I work with 60 Preschooler's (3 different sessions from 9-5:30 in the chicago public schools) and breakfast has made a big difference.   And I think Chris is right, eat  more. Try it, because Neecee will slap you, lol!!

Thanks! And no Neecee no slapping hahaha. Even though I need a good slap! Tomorrows mission....breakfast lol.  Oh and last night to let everyone know...I went for a walk probably a good mile. Then I was mad at myself because it wasn't as easy as it used to be, so I told myself i had to do this all the time so I am feeling good again!

Good for you for planning to eat breakfast.  That's a start, even if it didn't happen you wanted to!  I cannot even imagine you without makeup.. I mean..  this is Christa the makeup ***** we're talking about here!! lol   When you go to the store tonight think about what you want to eat next week for lunch and buy fresh foods/fruits for each day.  Start small. Don't go buying gobs and gobs of healthy fresh stuff. It'll end up sitting there and rotting. That's what it does for me whenever I just go out and buy it with no plan of how I'm going to eat it.   Back to the breakfast thing...  I had a wow moment this morning about breakfast.  I stayed up till 4am last night playing on myspace and other various sites like a moron.  I was SOOOO damned tired this morning when I got up, but somehow I did manage to get out of bed..late as hell...but i got out.  Anyways, I grabbed two packs of quaker's salty and crunchy oats nuts and honey bars and headed out the door.  Man I felt like I was gonna pass out.. I was all over the road! lol  Anyways, I ate the bars and then about 10 minutes later all of a sudden I felt alive and awake..  Sure my eyes still burn a little bit now but for the most part it feel great..  Although I'll definitely will be getting some sleep tonight!

As of right now I am having Make-Up withdrawls!  So as soon as 11am hits I am running home and slapping some on while picking up my lunch at home.

you guys are funny!  How can you stay up all night and computer?????  wow...the good ole days.

If I am really into what I am doing on the computer or i am talking to someone that is entertaining me then I can stay on ALL night long...but I don't like to because I know in the morning I will want to shoot myself for it!

Oh yea and i forgot....I have bought a BUNCH of stuff before just to end up wasting it because it got bad and yucky.....so yea I only buy a weeks worth.

Frozen fruit, esp berries ROCK! We have the same problem, unless you are all up on it, fresh produce goes bad.  i depend on frozen greens lots, too.  C, I think you are doing great.  Wish I had had HALF as much clue as you do at age 21. You are going to kick this thing

Geez it is taking me long enough though to kick this! I mean I started my journey back in March.....It's August! lol. Oh well...I just keep on kickin I like frozen fruit's sometimes....pineapple and grapes. Yesterday I brought home some home grown tomatoes...Oh YUMMY! My dad has a garden so I get fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. Mmmmm

You know I find the frozen fruits very bitter.  I have some peaches, mangos and stuff in my freezer but they haven't gotten touched because of the icky taste.  What brands do you guys buy?
