Iced tea with dinner.
I need to kick the coffee habit for so many reasons – I’ve fallen off the wagon sooo many times. Any suggestions? I have a high stress, fast paced job and 2 kids (under 4 years of age). So coffee is my morning crutch, but crash by 2:00. Any suggestions?
Every morning I wake up grab my bowl, kashi cereal, and milk. Who needs coffee?
Coffee slows me down
Kashi Gronala!!! heat up then add warm milk, sliced bannas and enjoy with a glass of water!! mmmhmmm loves it!!!
I had a banana and oatmeal for breakfast + decaf. Lunch is the Kashi Black Bean amngo mean with some ships and guac. Dinner will be organic eggs, broccoli and apples.
Just had the Pumpkin Spiced Flax bars crumbled up in my yogurt. Yummy!
Yay, my picture worked
Wahoo. I had some yummie oatmeal and drank 6 glasses of water. Tonight, is an Edamame feast and some Kashi yummieness for dessert.
This morning I ate Heart to Heart, with Milk and Apple Cider to drink….It’s that time of year….
Awesome—-for breakfast I usually have a 5 grain oatmeal (I’m from Canada, we have limited choice of Kashi products) and a Kashi chewy bar around 9am with green tea—-then an apple for a mid morning snack.
For breakfast I have a bowl of Heart to Heart Honey Toasted Oat with a glass of milk and an apple. Delicious.
Can’t start my day without yogurt and fruit, then a Kashi bar at the office. Like Pizzalover, I’ve learned to drink mostly decaf coffee… only one cup of the strong stuff at the office, where there hasn’t been decaf until my recent request.
This is definitely my world!
Oatmeal with bananas, strawberries, and vanilla soymilk for breakfast always gets me going.
This morning, after the gym, I invited my mother over for breakfast. I made Kashi waffles for both of us and used applesauce or yogurt for a topping instead of syrup. Lunch was tomato soup with a whole wheat roll and a glass of milk. The afternoon snack is popcorn and an apple. The biggest accomplishment is that I made the morning pot of coffee 3/4 decaf. I am almost down to zero caffine!
this morn. competed in a 5k. finished at 20:56. Had some low fat choc. milk, watermelon and slice of an orange with my kashi bar. love it. for lunch I will have soup and shrimp, grilled.
