First let me preface this by saying I'm one of those really anal people that have to do certain things in a certain way or my whole day feels really messed up. I have my morning routine and I pretty much do the same thing every morning in the same way and at the same time. I know I'm odd, but it works for me and having a structured routine helps my ADHD kid stay structured and focused.
Today started out not so good, because I could not sleep to save my life last night. Then of course when my alarm went off I stayed in bed for a few extra minutes and THEN...I FELL ASLEEP!!!...Grrrrr. So when I finally opened my eyes I was 20 minutes late in my schedule, which meant I had to do everything out of order. But even with that little set back I still had my new mantra running through my mind "Today will be a good day, because I say it’s gonna be!!" I am so trying to give "The Secret" (Laws of Attraction) a try. Although I still have some issues with it that I will tell you about at a later date.
Anyway, because of my late awakening I did not get to eat my normal breakfast, because by the time I was ready to eat I didn't have much time, so me being me I ALWAYS have plan B. What can I say...I’m structured, but not totally inflexible...HA!!
Breakfast:
1cup of vanilla yogurt
w/fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of granola
Snack:
1/3 cup of dried fruit and nut mix
Tea
Lunch:
Garden salad
w/ light catalina dressing
Lots of water
Snack:
1/3 cup of dried cranberries
Dinner:
11/3cup Stir-Fry shrimp and veggies (Contessa brand...Thanks Lola Granola)
over 1cup of brown rice
YUMMY!!!
Snack:
Mango
I actually had about 40oz of water today, so I'm doing a whole lot better, but haven't reached my goal yet. Today was also a gym day and I ran a little over 3 miles and did about 200 crunches. I also did something I never do I got on the scale, because I have been noticing my clothes are a little looser...BIG MISTAKE. But I thought rationally about the number and realized that I'm retaining water so I am gonna weigh myself again next week for a more accurate reading.
Even though my day didn't start out ideal it has turned out pretty dang good. Maybe my mantra is working after all.

You ever watch "Monk"? (with Sharona of course) :-)
I'm just saying...
What you try'na say!?! :-) I know I have issues...LOL
I need my mornings to go a certain way, too.
So your hurried, plan B breakfast was yogurt with blueberries and granola. That sounds wonderful. I feel like a complete heathen. My favorite breakfast in the world is a no-sugar-added chocolate Instant Breakfast made with Rice Dream. It's about as quick to make and drink as it could be.
@Laura I am glad I am not the only one that has a certain routine.
Yes that is my Plan B breakfast and it is absolutely delicious. I use low-fat yogurt a handful of blueberries and a just enough granola to give it some texture. The whole meal is about 300 calories and fills me up until my mid-morning snack.
