This time I don’t mean shop smarter price wise – I mean pick the best options for what you want to eat.
This morning I wanted a traditional American breakfast with eggs, sausage and toast. I used these things – egg beaters, veggie sausage and Perfect 10 bagel. Swapping these choices for real eggs, sausage and a bagel saved me hundreds of calories!
My guilty add in was a little cheddar cheese on top of the egg beaters 🙂 A little goes a long way when you use sharp cheddar! I cooked some onions and mushrooms in a skillet before adding the egg beaters too 🙂
Yesterday’s eats were really random because I ate breakfast so late after my run. I ate some watermelon and Triscuits before setting off on errands.
Then, Ben got some greasy grub food from Costco when we were there. I had a few bites too. It is going to be a struggle when we live together and he eats like this all the time. Luckily, I am planning on being in charge of the grocery shopping 🙂
I don’t think he was ready for me to take the picture yet! Ha.
I ate some blueberries on the way home.
I also found this bar on clearance at Ralph’s. I really liked it! Ben liked it too. It has a very chai spicey-ness to it that I like 🙂
Then, I decided to have a super light dinner of salad so I could leave room for dessert…
Dessert! Yogurtland rocks my world. I am getting out of control with the toppings! LOVE IT.
You know how I said Ben was moving? Well, I got to pick the paint color since I’m a girl 🙂 Right now it is a tragic pink color, This is after they started to sand it down… I’ll show you the “after” when it’s done!

Great healthy breakfast. I’ve found that I now prefer the “healthier” options, even taste wise. And they make me feel so much better, too.
Your dessert looks fantastic! Have a great night 🙂

Love the “healthified” breakfast. I got those perfect 10 bagels and thought they tasted a little weird though, I don’t know why.
I’m obsessed with those self serve yogurt places too. There are like a million around here in Temecula so anywhere I go in town I know I’m within a mile radius of one calling my name. I use more toppings than yogurt 🙂 It’s just too good.

What a great breakfast!! Healthier version tastes so much better anyway! Sharp cheddar is a great add!!
Will you be moving into Ben’s new place once you are married or are you finding an entirely new place?
Have a great day!!
