Crazy Weather and Breakfast time...

Well...I did get out of the house yesterday as here @ the beach the snow melted and turned to rain this weekend. I woke this morning and ☃ it's back ☃! The trees and yard are white again. The snow in Oregon has broke a 40 year record this year. Oregon is a wonderful state. We have the mountains, ocean beaches, hills, trees, forests. But usually if you want to get to the snow you just head up to the mountains and go to it. We rarely get a snow day and if we do it's a day or three. So this is all very strange for us Oregonians. I like to look at it but hate how cold it is. And since we don't get snow often they don't remove it from the roads well because we don't have the equipment and then were stuck in at home. Anyway I feel bad for all the people stuck at the Portland airport. It's a big mess up there in the city. The airport is shut and all those people wanting to just get home. It's not letting up anytime soon either.

I was able to get out yesterday and shop with my boy for dad. Jonathan and I got up early and headed into town before it got busy. We had a good time being silly☺. I raced him up the steps at the store and we also raced back to the car to see who could win. I did not win. I was trying to hold him back so I could win and he thought that was funny. We came home to get dad and we went to the movies to see "the day the earth stood still". I liked it but hated the ending. The ending just let me down. Hate that! Derrel made cookies for the family after we came home. I only ate 2! Just not worth it. Cookies and shit make me feel like shit unless I just eat half at a time and that's what I did yesterday. I put 6 cookies in baggies and in the freezer for me for a treat in the next few weeks.

I just learned I get to see my brother Scott and sister in law Barb on the 1st of January. There coming for a visit from Pasadena CA for his birthday. I'm so excited to see both of them. Time for another skinny picture of us all. We have all had weight loss surgery and between the 3 of us we weigh 400+ pounds less. Barb is one of those people you just can't help loving. She's my sister in law but I love her like a best friend. We have already planned to sneak off to Starbucks and have Barb and Susy time. (Barb's blog: http://barbswls.blogspot.com/) I can't wait!

Another thing I really want to ask other bloggers about is breakfast. Breakfast for me 1/2 of the time is a sucky meal for me. Not sure if it's cause I have a empty stomach or why. Every morning I start my day with my OJ protein yogurt drink and always do fine with that. After sometime and being up I get hungry. I do oatmeal, egg whites, bananas, protein bars and sometimes cereal. But every time I do a bowl cereal and soy milk I end up feeling nauseous and getting sick. What's up with that? There is no milk in soy so why do I end up throwing up? That happens every time I eat cereal so I don't eat cereal anymore but every once in awhile I try again. I do miss a quick bowl of cereal and being done with breakfast. Even if I do eggs, egg whites, oats, fruit or what ever else for breakfast I feel blucky more than half the time right after. It passes after 30 minutes but 7 out of 10 times I feel nauseous right after. Yesterday trying to get out of the house early I did cereal again. I had to lay back down for 20 after ralphing up bile from the bowl of cereal. I just don't understand why breakfast is such a hard meal for me most days. Anyone else have trouble with breakfast?

I'm not really saying anything here..... just blabbing and blogging. LOL Hope everyone is happy and healthy and with the one's you love this week.


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I have no problems with breakfast, in fact it's the best meal of my day... I usually have egg white w/cheese and bacon or sausage and wheat toast. I don't have any problems with that meal, dinner is my killer. I have found that I eat most of my food by lunch and everything after that is a potluck for me!! good luck on finding a happy medium!

Hey again - just read about breakfast...I totally agree. I also feel terrible even after soy milk with cereal - I do miss my milk and my cereal. I usually make some bacon to share with my dog and cat, and will have either grits or a piece of toast. Also some OJ with my vitamins. That's about all I can handle. Of course you could just eat whatever - even though it's breakfast - there are really no rules that say we have to eat breakfast foods. We're just conditioned!
