We celebrated Big Red's birthday this week, in fact we are still celebrating.
Yesterday, Red had meetings all over town and I found myself alone with both a half dozen gourmet cupcakes AND a Michigan blueberry crumb pie. Took all the willpower I had to avoid the kitchen. But, I did it.
I am definitely a sugar-chaser. If I have a little sugar in the morning, I will chase it all the live long day.
Last night, I had just half a cupcake. A Just Baked Snowball cupcake. I am still thinking about it. A rich devil's food cake topped with a marshmallowy creamy frosting and shaved coconut. Oh my. I ate every last crumb on the plate. I could have stuck that plate back in the cabinets without anyone the wiser. (I didn't)
This weekend we'll celebrate some more with my big family--with a dinner out, a homemade dessert and a ping-pong tournament.
How do you celebrate with the important people in your life?
love and light and cupcakes

breakfast of champions
i did not invent that title. i borrowed it. illegally. i'm such a gangsta'(as my boys would say....like when i sneak la croix grapefruit sparkling water into the movie theater) ::ahem:: back to what i really want to talk about....
i'm not interested in re-inventing the wheel. or re-inventing anything. i am interested in recognizing what is working and what isn't.
what has worked for me--for feeling good and losing weight. eating breakfast.
i stopped eating breakfast regularly in high school. i know.
when i was really most successful in my weight loss, i was eating breakfast every morning, within 2 hours of getting out of bed. nothing i have to think about. the same thing every morning.
my breakfast of choice?
oatmeal with lots of cinnamon (much more than a dash), blueberries and a splash of milk.
it is warm and creamy and fruity--a little nutty and delicious. it's not pie. but, it's almost a cobbler. yum-meeeee:)
what are you eating for breakfast? you are eating breakfast, aren't you? you know it's the most important meal of the day, right? oh, right. sorry. went a little *momma* on you. my apologies.
