Hi Pam
Here's what I do. I put together all the ingredients for my shake the night before except for the oats and the protein powder. In the morning I pull the blender carafe out of the fridge, blend everything, add the protein powder and oats and blend again. So it only takes a couple of minutes to prepare breakfast in the morning. I sit in bed and read while I have my shake, but the great thing about shake is that you can carry it around and drink it while doing things so you can still be within the hour. Sometimes if I have to leave the house really early for some reason, I wash up and dress and then drink my shake in the car.

: Thanks, mosaic -- it's so
: encouraging.to talk with someone
: who shares some of the same
: traits. :) I think too I've read
: you say that you're more a savory
: person than a sweet person? I am
: too. At some point I'd like to ask
: some questions about that, but it
: would be getting ahead of myself
: to do that now, and I'm trying not
: to do that!

: Current weekday breakfast is shake
: with steel-cut oats, soy milk,
: Restore, 1 T almond butter, 1 T
: flax seed, plain yogurt, some
: greens, some frozen berries, and
: half a banana. It really holds me,
: most days, and is much less
: daunting on a weekday morning than
: cooking. Weekends I do more of a
: meal, that includes protein,
: brown, and veg. The part I
: struggle with is time -- I have
: the most energy in the morning,
: and I just buzz around doing
: everything I can see that needs
: doing, and I miss the hour most
: days. I think I need to just put a
: piece of paper down on the kitchen
: counter and make a note of all the
: things I will do *after*
: breakfast; that way I won't forget
: them, but they won't use up all my
: am time!

: Will report in how I'm doing along
: the way ... thanks again for
: chatting with me!
