Day 2 - Lego My Eggo

 I'm on day two of my "No Pop-Tarts" challenge and instead of eating chocolate Pop-Tarts for breakfast, I went for eggo waffles instead.  The main reason I chose this as my breakfast option was because it was in the house.  I'll be honest and say that I did not choose this because I thought it was healthier.  My breakfast was two homestyle waffles with syrup.  I'm starting to think that I am prone to breakfast foods that are easy for on-the-go.  

According to the Kellogg website for Eggo Waffles, these frozen waffles became a household staple in the 1970s by the Dorsa family from San Jose, California.  It was two brothers who came up with the idea of an easier waffle mix that eventually turned into a frozen waffle for every household to enjoy.  According to the Eggo Waffle website, Eggo Waffles holds the title for bestselling frozen waffles in North America.

So far, this has had no impact on my health.  Nor do I think it is helping me to tip the scales in my favor.

Day 4 - Coffee, Coffee, Coffee

Image
Day four was just two Keurig cups of coffee.  I drink my coffee with a splash of half and half.  I must admit that I am addicted to my morning cup of joe.  If I go without it I get a headache.  However, I read an article from 2022 in the Daily Mail that said there are health benefits to drinking coffee in the morning.  Some benefits are boosting alertness, promoting gut health, and protecting your heart.  So today wasn't such an unhealthy day for me.  Yay!

Day 8 - Running Out Of Ideas

Image
 Like my title implies, I am running out of ideas for what to do for breakfast.  I realized that eggs are just not practical for a mom like me.  The whole reason I eat Pop-Tarts is because they are fast, easy, and already made for me.  So even though eggs (what I ate yesterday) have all kinds of health benefits and I really enjoy the taste of them they are just not something I can keep up with. So today I just decided to google other options for me.  I put in my search engine "best foods for breakfast" and the first article that popped up was from Good Housekeeping called "13 Healthy Breakfast Foods to Power Up Your Day, According to Nutritionists."  Now that looked promising!  The first line in the article was even... "Here's what to eat for breakfast - beyond scrambled eggs." The 13 healthy food options were: 1. whole grains 2. protein shakes 3. bananas 4. prunes 5. eggs 6. berries 7. seeds 8. oats 9. avacados 10. nuts and nut butter 11. beans and le...

 Day 5 - Not Really Trying, And Here's Why     I had more donuts this morning.  And they weren't even good donuts.  I ate them because I was busy and had to do a lot of stuff to do after dropping my son off at school and they were easy to get to.  It may seem like I am not trying, or not taking this assignment seriously, or unhealthy.  And I might be a little of the latter (unhealthy).  But I do try and I do take my assignments seriously.  However, a little bit about me is that I am pushing forty years old and am a disabled vet with health issues.  I know what works for my body and what doesn't at my age.  So while I am not proud of my stale donut choice this morning it was the best I could do.
