Well I decided to make breakfast food this morning and actually cut up some veggies last night in preparation. I had some zucchinni, bell peppers, sugar snap peas and Kale that needed to be used. I'm looking at these veggies thinking crud how do I do this? My twins, Brooke and Bailey, are so different in personality and tastes that it can drive a person crazy. Brooke won't touch the zucchinni and Bailey won't touch the bell peppers. So I diced up the peppers and zucchinni into larger chunks so they can pick them out.
I fried up some tater tots, smashing them when they were heated through, scrambled up the eggs and veggies and served everyone breakfast. I ate it all and the girls ate most of it, but eggs are not a favorite.
I packed up lunches which consisted of left over taco soup w/ tortilla chips (middle schoolers have acces to microwave... makes lunches a little more diverse) and a few other snack items.
We did do some stretches this morning with the girls showing me the stretches they do in P.E. They said that they can stretch farther during P.E., which makes sense as they are all warmed up by then. I had one girl that finally crawled out of bed and joined us about 1/2 way through the 10 minute routine. Hey, I admit it I am not an exercise person... boring..... I did do my bicycle sit ups though.
I have a pedometer that I carry, when I remember, and I walk during the course of a day on an average of about 3500 steps. Could be better and it goes up during the summer time because I go out and walk at lunch time 2-3 days a week. It's too cold and wet right now.
Have a great day!
As I get older and learn more it has dawned on me that the way we eat doesn't make sense. Why do we eat so much food at night? Why do so people skip breakfast when our bodies need it for energy? I have read some on reverse diets and have finally decided to try my hand at this, in my own way. Follow me as my teenage twins and I explore this new concept of eating.
