Junk food binger...is this you?

I learned yesterday that as an average woman we are only supposed to take in 20 grams of sugar a day. WHAT!!!!! well then, my day is done at 5:45 a.m. after I have finished my bowl of oatmeal with a tablespoon of honey in it.
So i vowed to be more conscious of it and my days. The rest of yesterday went well.
This morning, awesome. Then, and I am going to blame this lack of judgement on my weight training this morning, and how ravenous I can get. I saw an open bag of coconut in the pantry and I took half that sucker down.
How am I feeling now you say? Full, really really full. And what has this got to say about my will power? Am I forever lost? Stupid white bag of goodness. Oh great, now I sound like a crack addict. :)
so, do I make piece and just finish that sucker off and live by the cartoon? The fullness leaves and I always seem to forget the feeling. How about you?
Sometimes it is the funniest of cartoons that are really are the truth.
Happy scavenging.

Is your breakfast served?

This time being a bzz agent gave me the opportunity to help myself and my family. I was given the opportunity to give my family Quaker Oatmeal Squares. Many of you know we are a family of grazers. SO this was a perfect thing for us to try out on the go and at the breakfast table of course. My family really enjoys a universal cereal. You know the type. The ones that are good for you as a base. But on the more fun side of the box, the ones that are so super good when you have a bowl of it with milk, at any time of the day. Also, the ones that you can enjoy straight out of the box as a grab and go kind of snack or meal. This cereal does it all and all of us love it that way. We are a busy family and we are always on the go and love to snack on the way. Many times it is meals on the way. I think it is great that I can put this cereal in a baggie for my teenager to bring to school to munch on between classes. I feel good knowing she is getting something healthy, and not something empty out of the vending machine. It has the best amount of sweetness so she feels like she is getting a treat. Same goes for my preschooler. We put these in her tupperwear and she can just tote them around and snack as needed. I like to see them eating it out of their breakfast bowls as well of course. A splash of milk and voila, it is just more vitamins and minerals being added to their day.
Go grab your box and graze on. :)
