Good Morning, Friends! I got about 9 hours of sleep last night, but I still woke up craving coffee. :/ However, I have a deal with myself that I can't have coffee until I've finished 3-16oz glasses of water, so that's what I'm drinking. *sigh* Apparently our movie marathon and all day of junk food was not good for weight loss, so I've got work to do again. That's ok though. The good news is that I have no desire to eat anymore junk food today. :P However, I am still plenty sleepy, so my breakfast was low-key this morning. I love having veggies in my breakfast, but this morning I didn't have the energy. Here's what I made:
Turkey Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich
1 egg
1/2 slice cheese
1 slice lunch meat
Salt
Pepper
Italian Seasoning
2 slices of bread
Put both slices of bread in the same slot in the toaster and start toasting. The end result will be toasted on the outside and soft and warm on the inside.
Crack your egg open into a skillet heated over medium heat. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian Seasoning. I also pop the yolk so everything cooks evenly.
Once the egg is nearly cooked through, flip it to finish cooking on the other side.
Add 1/2 slice of cheese (any cheese, choose your favorite, I used swiss) to the top of the egg. Put slice of turkey (or ham or bacon) on top of cheese.
When the egg is completely cooked through on both sides, flip the egg once more to grill the turkey slightly.
Put egg on toast, top with 2nd slice, and enjoy!
I woke up wanting cereal this morning, but it never seems to leave me feeling full and satisfied, which leads to snacking. I've read different meal plans and tried different ones before. However, I have the most luck when I have more calories in 3 meals and don't have snacks in between my meals. I find that when I allow myself to snack, I tend to not stop. This may not be the path for everyone, but it works for me. Michael, on the other hand, needs snacks between his meals. I have our meal plans set to accommodate my caloric needs, since he needs about 500 calories more/day than I do, he needs snacks (and gets to add more cheese and dressing to his meals).
So there you have it! Hope you enjoy this simple and tasty breakfast sandwich! Don't forget to drink your water! To figure out how much you need in a day, take your weight in pounds and cut it in half, that's how many ounces you need (at least).
For example:
I weighed 136 lbs this morning.
136 ÷ 2 = 68
I need 68 oz of water today.
I usually aim for 80 oz, I set my goal when I was 160 lbs and it makes an even 5-16oz glasses. But as long as I'm hitting at least 68 oz, the rest is just gravy! ;)
Well, that's all I've got for now. I'll get my wardrobe post up later, for now I'm still in jammies. :P Told you I'm tired! Have a great, Monday, Folks!
