It’s 7.30 am
and I’ve been up since 7 writing bits of draft for the blog…and much to my
surprise, my tummy is gurgling away like nobody’s business. It’s unusual for me
to get hungry quite this early. It usually takes my body a good hour or so to
wake properly, but usually, by the time I’ve finished my walk and it’s gone
nine, I am starving and can’t wait to get the breakfast ready. I love breakfast
and I am beginning to think, since this is the time of the day which I always
seem to feel the most hungry, perhaps I
should take advantage of that and aim to eat just a little more than I usually
do around brekkie time.
I’ve never
been into a full English or anything like that…no, my ideal breakfast has to
be, as I’ve mentioned before, hot buttered wholemeal toast with either jam or
peanut butter…and a hearty bowl of cereal with lots of milk which is usually
warmed unless it’s Weetabix.;) I recall all too well how minimalistic I used to
be despite the fact that I had such a good appetite at breakfast time…it would
always be a really titchy bowl of cereal with the smallest amount of milk as
possible; the toast would have to be a really thin piece of bread with barely
and spread on it…and that was when I actually had breakfast. And I felt as if I couldn’t have both, of course.
And so now,
here is what I do try to aim for at breakfast time…
·
To
have both cereal and toast
·
To
have plenty of cereal in my bowl, and to not feel restricted to a small certain
amount
·
To
have not 1, but 2 weetabix!
·
To
have different varieties of cereals, especially the ones that are low in sugar
and absorb milk – these are in general my preferred choice anyway.
·
To
have plenty of milk (preferably full-fat unless the other sort needs using up.)
·
To
have plenty pf spread and peanut butter on toast
·
To
have different varieties of bread for toast: brown, multigrain, wholemeal etc.
And to not feel as if it has to be thinly sliced. Those thick crusts are so
nice. ;)
