Loooow point breakfast ideas

My cousin just asked me about some low point breakfasts and I sent her an email giving her some ideas that I had. Then I thought it would be a good idea to just post, so here is my email to her :)

K here are my thoughts... on the weekend (or when I have time in the morning) I usually make myself egg whites and cheese using any kind of light shredded cheese that I want (usually cheddar). I never measure out the egg whites, I just buy the container of All Whites and pour as much into the pan as I want and call it 1 pt. (I spray the pan first with some Pam) I think 1/2 cup of the egg whites is 1 pt and then I add a 1/2 of the 1/4 cup with some cheese for flavor. That is 2 pts. I always think that if you over eat on egg whites or under count them that is NOT going to make or break your diet! LOL

Or I do a fiber english muffin with spray butter for 1 pt

or an arnolds sandwich thin with laughing cow for 2 pts....

so you can always mix and match the 1 pt muffins, Arnolds sandwich thins, or bagel thins with either spray butter for 0 pts or a wedge of laughing cow cheese for 1 pt. The garlic one is really good....

Another thing that's so good are the veggie fiber select crackers, you can have 15 for 2 pts and a wedge of laughing cow for 1 pt...that is 3 pts but it's good

you could also do a muffin with spray butter for 1 pt and a activia light yogurt for 1 pt for a 2 pt bfast...

My personal favorite at the moment is the egg white and cheese wrap at Dunkin Donuts... it's 3 points and delish! (and super quick) :)

Enjoy!

Intention and Purpose

Image
Intention + Purpose = Results  in·ten·tion a thing intended; an aim or plan Learn to pronounce a thing intended; an aim or plan. pur·pose Learn to pronounce the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists. Purpose is the object to be reached, or reached for, by your actions. It's the bigger picture. It's the why.  Intention is the specific motion to move toward it. Sounds pretty simple and makes sense to me BUT there are a million different things that get in the way of putting these two simple words into action.... I have had so many intentions of doing so many things in my life the past few years but just couldn't get myself to buy into the purpose.... the purpose being ME.  Intentions to lose weight, exercise, save money, plan trips, blog, end bad relationships, strengthen old relationships, organize life, find balance, pursue different money making dreams, make a podcast, read more books, be in the now, breathe, slow down, blah blah blah
