Confession Time & Back-on-the-Wagon Breakfast



So.

Fell off the wagon.

Hard.

And my feet got tangled in the ropes while it dragged me along.

Been doing what I want, when I want, eating all the time...all the sugar.  Sugar Dragon had me in his cave chained to his gooey sweetness for a long time now.

I'm in pain.  My skin is terrible.  I hurt, everywhere.  All the time.  I have NO energy.  Why did I do this to myself again?  Was it worth it?  No.  No, it was not.

I've also gained back about 10 lbs of the 20+ I'd lost doing my first round and the few months after.

New motto "Food is fuel".  This morning's breakfast is my way to climb back on the wagon.  Taking each day one meal at a time.  So for now, I've made it.

Back on the wagon and riding it as long as I can.

Back-on-the-Wagon Breakfast

2 Eggs, whisked
3/4 Cup frozen spinach
5 or 6 grape tomatoes, diced
1 tsp approved oil or ghee
1/2 Avocado, diced
1/2 lime, squeezed
Salt & Pepper to taste

In a small skillet, heat oil/ghee over medium heat.  Add frozen spinach and sauté until defrosted and soft.  Add tomatoes and stir around.  Add eggs.  Allow the eggs to settle to the bottom of the pan and using your spatula, continue opening up pockets where the eggs can get to the bottom.  Cook for 1 minute or 2 until eggs have solidified.  Flip over and allow to cook for a minute or so on the other side.

In a small bowl, place diced avocado and lime juice.  Sprinkle with salt.  Move to one side of the bowl and add the eggs to the bowl.

Eat.

Feel satisfied.

Get back on the wagon.  AND STAY THERE!
