Start Your Day Off Right

 

 

Every morning I wake up and do the same thing. I have created a routine that is easy, and works for me. My morning routine always ends with one thing, and that is breakfast.

 

Before I had started my journey, I was a sporadic breakfast eater. If I didn’t get breakfast, I would make up for it at lunch. That is the problem. When I don’t have breakfast if gives me the mindset that it is okay to binge on the things that I want to eat, because I skipped a meal. This is totally wrong.  For me, eating breakfast sets the stage for the rest of the day. It kick starts my body, and gives me the boost to make it until lunch time. I believe that what I eat for breakfast sets the stage for how the rest of my day will go.

Wonder why eating breakfast is so important? This article on the Shape’s (http://www.shape.com/blogs/new-year-new-breakfast-guest-blogger-kristen-james )website talks about why breakfast is important, and some suggestions of foods that set the stage  for a great day. For me, I usually eat Special K, or whole wheat toast with just peanut butter and fruit. I keep it pretty simple, and always give myself extra time to be able to grab some breakfast before I head out the door. If I know that I am going to crunched for time, then I make up something the night before that I can easily take with me as I run out the door

So start your day off right. Eat your breakfast! Your body will thank you, and so will your waistline.
