Good morning everyone. I am glad to have a moment to check in and catch up with everyone. So much going on over here. I know everyone is busy too. It gets hard to keep up with all that has to be done. Baby steps right.? It all always does seem to get done, so don't fret and take things one step at a time.
I have always been a planner, but I'm starting to realize that sometimes you just have to let the urge to control, schedule, and micro manage things, go out the window and take things as they come. Believe me, while dealing with a family death, two devasted kids, and a brother whose whole life has been ripped apart, I am learning this lesson all to well. I can't fix things, and I can't control things. I can only control myself, my body and my life.
It's important for me during these hectic times to be able to automate my life as much as I can. I learn so much from all of you and your blog posts. I am constantly looking for ways to make things easier. I love the microwave scrambled eggs in the morning. Adding some fresh spinach, or artichokes along with some cheddar or smoked gouda ( thanks Carey for the idea!!) makes it a creamy delicious and quick breakfast.
That and the one minute flaxseed muffin have been my go to breakfast for weeks now.
I tried minichicks version on Saturday and it was very good. I made it in the bowl and poured the almond milk on it. It was very warm and delicious. Next time I may top it with some natures hollow sugar free jam next time. I love adding the sugar free josephs maple syrup. It adds alittle more sweetness and a hint of maple flavor.
Can you all list some of your favorite go to breakfasts? I'll post them in a future post and maybe we can all get some new ideas.
Instead of a thought for the day, I am posting a quote from the facebook fan page of The Beck Diet Solution. If you have not checked out this website, there are some really good ideas to help you stay on track for whatever diet or lifestyle you are following. Check it out at

Sending love and hugs to all of you from me!
Tuesday Reality Check: While resisting a craving might be uncomfortable in the MOMENT, giving in to that craving and then feeling bad about yourself and your eating will be uncomfortable for so much longer.
