Bugs, Tests and Eggs...

So the little varmints infected me...with the stomach portion of their funk! I guess it was bound to happen. I was up all night with lower GI stuff going on. Not pretty. Not only did I not sleep, Tony didn't sleep and I woke up (I'm using that term loosely) feeling like I'd been squeezed out like a sponge. That brings back horrible memories of the time before I went off dairy. Needless to say, I did not have much in the way of energy this morning so my "workout" (again, using that word loosely), was ballet strength. I needed to move my body since I had to get to work today and I was going to have to get the boys to school too. So, up and atem'!

I've been seriously focused on nutrition lately since I've started studying. I'm loving it and I've found a good process for me to learn, so things are coming along. Learning about cells and all of the organs was a bit straining on the brain, but now that I know the information, it takes all I have not to use technical words when I talk to Tony about it. He starts to get that glazed over look when I start talking about the liver...although I do the same thing when he starts talking about fonts. Anyway, I took a quiz today and while I was bummed I missed two (I kind of beat myself up over this), I still got an A, so if nothing else, now I know the ones I got wrong. It's all part of learning.

I've also buckled down on our diets as of late too. Today is not a prime example for me since the bug and all, but I guess not too bad. My boys don't like to eat breakfast and that really irritates me. I'm VERY pro breakfast. We have a rule, you have to eat something that will fuel you until snack or lunch. I went over a list of things I would have available for them so they could have a little something good.

This is what Max asked for...yeah he's 10 going on 80. He had an egg, tomatoes and avocado (note, he does not get the avocado love from me - yuck). This was a killer breakfast for him and now we are keeping boiled eggs on hand for quick meals and snacks.

For lunch today, I needed something easy on the stomach with some good stuff in it. I opted for an omelet (if you put a lid on it when it cooks it will puff up) with a hand full of spinach (I need the iron), some tomatoes and nutritional yeast.

I will spare you a picture of my super sexy bowl of Corn Chex topped with bananas, strawberries and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. While not that exciting, it totally hit the spot. I'm hoping the bug worked it's way out so tomorrow can be filled with more tasty eats!

I gotta ask, what do you eat for breakfast? Any quick healthy ideas?
