Christa, I appreciate the suggestion of cereal for breakfast. However, I added the 100 calories for oatmeal with the sugar and milk and came up to 190 calories. I'll try a Quaker Chewy Wholesome Favorite bar today (110 calories) and a hard boiled egg (70 calories) tomorrow. And I don't have to worry about spilling the milk on my desk.

Well, I have to say that I've never put sugar in my oatmeal . . . try adding some fruit instead (my fav is bananas). Or HONEY . . . yummy! Cinammon is also yummy in oatmeal.

What kind of milk are you drinking? If you're not drinking skim, you should be. I always drank full fat 2% . . . we drank 1% for a few months and eventually dropped down to skim. I love skim now . . . actually I was at my parents the other day and ate a bowl of Kashi with 2% milk and thought I was going to vomit, because it was so thick tasting! I couldn't believe it!

BTW, you're not going a healthier route by eating a breakfast bar. You can't look at JUST calories alone. You have to look at the whole picture, everything on the label.

I can understand not having time to eat breakfast in the morning . . . I just *wish* that peeps had more time for it . . . it IS the most important meal of the day . . . LOL, okay, my lecture is over.

What do you all think of this???

Instead of letting this thread go on and on and on . . .

You know how they have "Thursdays" in the Doghouse??? What if we had something like that??? A new thread that started fresh every week? It could have a name like Thursdays does . . . some kind of fitness or healthy lifestyle name and then we'll keep them numbered . . .

What do you all think?

Give me some ideas . . . What do you think it should be called . . . do you think it's a good idea or a bad idea?

I just think that this thread is getting a little long and if you all want to keep this up, I think we need to figure something out.

And also, do you want to keep this in General or put it somewhere else? I think more people would see it here in General.

Okay . . . so what do you think???

How about something like . . .

PT Health Zone # . . .

I hate to call it anything "gym" related, since we're not all about working out . . . we're about being healthy, eating right . . . all that.
