What I had for breakfast today (May 22, 2012)…

Here it is. Much has happened over the past 12 weeks or so. I will take some time to play catch up in another article to follow soon. I wanted to share what I had for breakfast today as I head towards a muscle building regimen, particularly for my legs, but other body parts will benefit as well. Writing does help me to stay focused on healthy eating! I am always open to suggestions and your feedback!

6 egg whites

½ cup blackberries (mash a few to put on your toast, put the rest into the oatmeal)
.25 ounces/7grams chopped walnuts (oatmeal is cooked first, then protein powder, blackberries, walnuts added before eating)
