Sunny Days

It is beautiful in Seattle again today!

My partner and I are going to walk tonight. If I walk hard enough I get some exercise. Mostly it is just to get out of the house and do something fun.

I am struggling with not eating enough. I skipped breakfast today again. Being home all day actually makes it harder to eat smaller meals more often. I need to put more structure in my day, and this includes real meal times.

I know everyone has told you that breakfast is important, but a lot of people my age still skip it. Or they eat something that does not kick off their metabolism in a good way, like sugary cereal. Here is a good explanation of why breakfast is important from WebMD (not the best website, but it was actually hard to find something with a complete explanation, not just folk wisdom.)

  2. Also, when I eat eggs for breakfast, I am hungry like an hour later, so I don't know about that being more satisfying...

  3. I think you should just adjust to what suits you. Some people include protein, but still eat something else to feel more full, like fruit or oatmeal. If you are hungry an hour later, plan for that and eat again! Have an egg for breakfast, and fruit an hour later, to keep your metabolism going, and feel satisfied then.
    I am not a nutritionist! Just trying to talk out what works for us!
