Hot Tip!

Need a yummy breakfast under 200 calories? Yeah, they say your breakfast should be the biggest meal of the day, but if yours isn't, here's a tasty idea.

Open one 6 oz. carton of Kroger Carbmaster Yogurt (60 calories), and put into a cereal bowl. Top with 1/2 cup of Fiber One Cereal (60 calories AND 57% of your DV of fiber!). Top that further with 3 medium/largish strawberries, cut into pieces (approx. 23 calories). Mix it all up and...

SKIDOOSH! Yumminess in a Cereal bowl. I'd have posted a picture but I ate it already...

**WAIT!--this is being inserted a few days later? I took a picture because I had this "breakfast" for lunch at work today. It doesn't look too spiffy but I assure you its delicious!

What's your motivation?

I was watching the makeover episode of "Biggest Loser" tonight. I don't know if you watch the show, but this year has been fairly fun--though not my favorite season ever. ANYWAY, when Olivia (purple team!) got to have her say she made a comment that really struck me. She said something along the lines of, "I'm doing this for us. I'm doing this for us, and our children, and our children's children." (Us = she and her hubby)

That, to me, seems like good motivation.

I know working out and focusing on weight loss for ourselves is key to getting going. You can't do it for somebody else. But I think when you are doing it for you AND somebody else...that makes it more important somehow.

Just a thought.
