starting out the day right

One of my goals in being healthier includes getting back to eating breakfast.  I had been doing a pretty bad job at remembering to do that.  E sometimes comes home for lunch early, so if I get a late start on my day, I don't want to eat breakfast only to have lunch 2 1/2 hours later or something!  And I like having the time to eat lunch with E, so skipping that isn't as nice of an idea.

One thing I have found I'm enjoying, and it gives me more energy for the day, is a new one at our grocery store, Weight Control Oatmeal.  I really didn't get it for the weight-control reason, but because it's got 7g of protein and 6g of fiber, and one packet is 2 services of whole grains.  It's also got considerably less added sugar than their other versions.  That's pretty good stats!  My mom recently informed me that her doctor said cinnamon was really good for you (the paper she gave me says "one teaspoon taken with food can increase the metabolism several times over", and it's also supposed to aid in digestion), so I've been adding extra cinnamon to my cereal, along with a handful of raisins, both before it's cooked.  (this is not an ad by any means, just my experience!)

I'm still having a hard time getting downstairs and not getting caught up with other tasks I want to do early in the day, but I'm sure trying harder to remember.  Even if I can do this a few times a week, I think it will help with my overall health.

Do you have any good tips on your fav breakfasts on a week day? :)
