Talking Food

I have been back on track, mostly, with food that is good for me. Mr. Spickles supervises.

Of course after being on oxycontin and going without so much as a glass of wine for ten solid weeks, I did have to treat myself to a martini. Ok, two. Hey, vodka is made from potatoes. It was a vegetable.

I have this for breakfast most days:

Special K, a banana, some pecans and blueberries. It is around 350 calories, it’s super easy, it tastes really good and it fills me up. So sometimes I have it for lunch too. Then I have a piece of chicken and salad for dinner. So far I’ve lost two pounds.

But Fourth of July morning, the blueberries started complaining and said they would much rather be wrapped up in something really high calorie that would require slathering with butter. So I made these:

Blueberry scones.

Excuse me, have YOU ever tried to argue with a blueberry?!?! I thought not.

Breakfast

I love breakfast. It is my favorite meal of the day. I am a morning person. I love the possibilities every morning brings. Unfortunately for me lately, almost every morning brings a day that contains some hideous disaster. But hope springs eternal in the stupid idiot.

Anyway, for breakfast today, and for the past few weeks, I have been having a bowl of Special K with Berries, a sliced banana and a cup of tea. I don't put anything in my tea but milk. I actually really like this for breakfast and it tops out at about 280 calories because I use whole milk.

I don't eat between meals, not because I'm some kind of model of self-control, it just doesn't occur to me. I mean to have a snack of fruit mid-morning, but I never do because I forget. I've had to throw out more freaking fruit than you can believe. But I am going to set a timer or something to force myself to remember today.

How about you? What did you have for breakfast? How do you manage to snack or not snack in a healthy way?
