It's back to the basics, today.

2009-12-26_10

I'm a bit tired of feeling like garbage from all of the gluttony that
I have allowed to run rampant over the course of this holiday season,
so far. Last night, I decided I had to break the cycle. So today, I am
going back to the basics. I am going to eat very clean today and here
is how I started.

For breakfast, I sauteed 1/2 C green peppers and 1/2 C red onion in 1
Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and then scrambled in 5 egg whites. I
also used 1 Tbsp of Heinz One Carb Ketchup. To compliment my perfect
protein, fat and fibrous carbohydrate combination, I boiled 1/4 C of
organic steel cut oats in water with cinnamon and Truvia sweetener.
For me, breakfast isn't really complete without coffee. I made my
normal "half-caff" blend of 2 Tbsp Starbucks Decaf Breakfast Blend
with 2 Tbsp Maxwell House Medium Roast, sweetened with Truvia and with
2% milk. There it is! A balanced breakfast anyone could be proud of.
:) All of that and only about 300 calories.

Water consumption will also be a primary focus, as I have been feeling
the effect of not getting enough water. I normally drink at least 150
oz. of water a day. So far, so good. I am feeling better already.
