About 2 scrambled eggs with ketchup, 2 small slices of toasted sourdough with butter, and a piece of bacon.
My alarm didn't go off this morning. I had an appointment with my trainer early. I hate it when that happens.
Everything changes when you have kids. You can't just get up and go anymore. I could have easily thrown on some clothes, grabbed a banana, and been out the door. However, I had two more people to get dressed and those people needed a full breakfast before the gym. Those two little people weren't happy about being abruptly removed from their nice warm beds and rushed out the door.
My kids hate being rushed and when they are rushed they shut down completely.
From now on my alarm is on everyday. If I hadn't had the trainer appointment it would have been ok. I don't want to make a bad impression on him so we all had to suffer a little today.
Breakfast for example:
Coffee and a protein shake. Hey now I always have time for coffee. It made this morning almost bearable.
The kids breakfast's were a little better. A banana, a kids clif z bar, and a cup of milk. Worst mom of the year here. I figured it was just one morning and the minute we were home from the gym they got the most nutritious snack ever.
I spent 30 minutes at the gym getting my butt kicked. I love this trainer because I can't really tell you what we did. Maybe 15 different exercises? This included running up and down stairs, weight machines, free weights, and real sit ups. REAL SIT UPS. The worst thing ever. Not crunches... Like ground to your knees sit ups. Doing 15 real sit ups sucks and my trainer knows I hate it... so he makes me do them a lot.
Then I did 30 minutes of cardio.
I was tired from my workout when I got home but mostly I was hungry.
I had overnight oats in the fridge from last night.
1/3c rolled oats, 1/3c vanilla greek yogurt, 1/4c soymilk, 1T chias, and blackberries. Plus a sprinkle of granola this morning. I cut back the soymilk and it makes it so much better. Really doughy!
Lunch was my new favorite:
A grilled turkey, cheddar, and hummus sandwich. Plus greens, grape tomatoes, .5oz blue cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic.
The sandwich was- 4 slices of turkey, 1oz 2% cheddar, and 1T Sabra hummus on an arnold sandwich thin- all heated in a pan like a grilled cheese sandwich minus the butter on the outside.
What do you eat when you are in a hurry? I bet it's better than my protein shake and coffee!

In a PB&J kind of girl when I'm in a hurry - so not any better than yours! Glad I'm not the only who whose kids don't like being rushed....
I usually wolf down a banana and a mojo bar with water when I'm in a hurry. Not ideal but better than MickeyDEES :P
Ha, that's actually exactly what I do when I'm in a hurry. I hate being rushed but drinking a protein shake is quick, easy, and filling.
It was really filling Amanda! The other day I ate that kids clif bar... I'm thinking I need a lesson in planning or time management :)
Luna bars, cheese sticks.. my little one will eat Nutri-Grain bars (I know, terrible!)
I've always got fresh fruit cut up and ready to go in the fridge. When I'm really strapped for time I usually make myself a portable yogurt bowl topped with granola and fruit.
Just added luna bars to my grocery list for next week. Need to stock up on those! Good idea on the yogurt Jenn. I normally have fruit already cut up so I really need to make sure I'm consistent with that.
I completely shut down when I'm rushed too. :)
Cereal with a cut up banana is a rushed breakfast or if I have any type of granola bars I will grab one as I run out the door!
Wow!
Sometimes when I'm really in a hurry, I'll even forget that I hadn't eaten! That's bad :)
