Breakfast for dinner

Today was an historical day in America. I voted, I watched the results, I went to bed, I woke up, went to work, and then it hit me -- an overwhelming craving for breakfast buffet. It was the worst day for it, too, because Wednesday afternoons I have to weigh-in with Weight Watchers so my breakfast typically consists of a Special K protein water. I had a 6lb weight loss the week prior partially due to being put on water pills because my left foot has been swollen up like a water balloon for over 3 weeks. Eating liquid breakfast was the only way I managed to stalemate at the scale this week considering the alcohol and pizza I consumed over the Halloweekend.



Breakfast for dinner seems like a pretty American thing. The sole reason for diners existing is so that truckers and drunk college students can load themselves on coffee, pancakes, and greasy bacon at any time of the day. But, since I'm trying to avoid the whole heart-attack-on-a-plate thing I had to pass the diner and make breakfast dinner myself. Looking at it you can't even tell that I managed to health-ify the meal aside of course from the obvious pear. Turkey bacon, pancakes with raspberry preserves, scrambles egg whites with some 2% cheese, Weight Watchers bread with fat free butter, and a pear.

Honestly, I think I liked this better than diner food because I didn't feel bloated afterwords. I could still eat my weight in muffins and hash browns.

    I rarely have breakfast foods for breakfast. If I eat something for breakfast it's usually Pop-Tarts or one of those Pillsbury Toaster/Pastry Struedels. We save the pancakes, waffles, french toasts, omelettes, etc for dinner.

    Ahhh...water pills you say? May have to look into that myself...my feet swelling thing only comes at night...My sister is trying to get me into weight watchers. She lost 13 pounds so far...I would join too but I'm so employment and education focused right now. Nevertheless I may look into it this week sometime

    I'm on water pills (Apo Hydro)for my hypertension. Currently at 75mg. If there is one thing they do, they make you piss.
