I was sort of tired this morning and wanted to skip my workout, but as usual, the second I was on the elliptical I was happy! Like I say, there’s no better way to start the day.
Breakfast #1
Toast with jam. For some reason I was starving all through my workout. Perhaps I need to eat a little heavier today.
Workout
I ended up staying on the ET for 52 minutes – I was determined to finished my Health Magazine and rather than doing 40 minutes on one machine and switching to a bike or something, I just stayed on. I don’t like doing that much of just one exercise, but I did burn more calories than normal! I also did some abs and stretching. 450 calories burned.
Breakfast #2
Had an oatmeal pancake this morning, topped with PB, mashed banana, and a little Nature’s Path Hemp Plus Granola. I don’t eat granola often because it’s SO calorie dense for the portion but it’s nice to sprinkle on things at times. This one is only 140 calories per 1/2 a cup – hard to beat in the granola world. Yum!
Also had some mango slices, which I also prepared the night before to save time.
And a husband-made latte:
All together for ~460 calories:
Breakfast calories (including toast): 560.
See you for my fantastic lunch!

I must say that after being inspired by you, I have decided to give the early morning workout a try. Today I did it again and LOVED it!! And just like you have said in the past- it is hard to get up at anytime for me, so might as well! So good to know that it is done for the day, and if I do take a walk later it is just a bonus! You are right about working out being a great start to the day- Thanks!
