A man-sized breakfast for a litle lady on a vacation day!

My usual breakfast is pretty boring, but it does the job ~ especially on a work day.  My health shake and a couple of hard boiled eggs, sometimes some cut up veggies.  But when I'm home and I've slept in...you know, basically been a little lazy and indulged in extra bed time...I like to cook a proper breakfast.  And this one didn't fail to deliver on flavor, satiety, and overall nutrition.  

I use cast iron; I do put a little olive oil or butter in the pan once it's warm but I'm careful to wipe out any excess to limit the fat.  One whole farm-fresh egg and two egg whites to start.  Dill weed on the egg, with salt and pepper to taste.  A handful of baby spinach, a few grape tomatoes, and a small amount of goat's cheese.  Meanwhile I defrosted and toasted an Ezekiel multigrain English muffin.  They are super dense and filling, and can hold up a heavy sandwich versus some of the "wimpier" English muffins I've tried.  Assemble, get a couple of napkins and a fork for whatever doesn't fit on the muffin ~ and ENJOY!  410 calories, 17 grams fat, 29 grams protein.  And no hunger whatsoever for 4+ hours :D

Starting Out Fresh!

How to make the best of being sick?  Well, I could feel sorry for myself and choose to curl up in a ball and not leave my bed.  Or I could look at this as an opportunity to set new goals, zero in on my nutrition and set up a new work out schedule.  Lately I've been obsessed with 21 Day Fix, and struggled with finding the energy.  But taking the time to rest and recover from an illness has been a blessing, and now I feel prepared to move forward and become stronger than before.  Sunday will be a recovery day; more meal prepping and catching up with laundry, cleaning, etc.  Fail to plan, plan to fail right?
