I usually ask myself that question the night before with all good intentions. The next morning I've forgotten the answer and grab what sounds good. This results in eating things that aren't good for me. Ok, maybe not quite as bad as that as I have made a conscious effort to refrain from junk food, but still...not the best. Because frankly, I don't care what Subway says, that egg, cheese and spinach/green pepper foot long has way too many carbs!
So I sought the help of my local diabetes counselor. I have to say she's been beyond fabulous! Let me take a moment to add, "Thank you so much Shelley"! I gave her a list of what I like to eat (all healthy choices, of course) and she gifted me with a week's menu. I'm so excited! Now that question is no longer a bother because I can use what she's given me to make a month's worth of menus.
I'm going to plug the menu into my Google calendar next and also print out a pretty calendar to hang in the bunk so that at just a quick glance I can see the answer to that age old question, "What's for breakfast?"
Sample Breakfast
6 oz yogurt
½ c oatmeal
8 oz soy
milk
2 veggie sausage links
Sounds pretty tasty, right? I'm wondering if I can throw a handful of walnuts in that oatmeal for a bit of crunch? Oh man, I'm actually looking forward to breakfast!
