An oldie but a goodie, this is a repost of 110707
Nutrition Focus:
I love breakfast. I always have. When I was a kid (and teenager and adult) I loved to eat cereal! We didn’t get the “really bad,” “really sugary” kind (like Lucky Charms, or Frosted Flakes). I maintained a solid rotation between Crispix, Kix, Rice Krispies and the occasional Honey Nut Cheerios. At the age of 23 I had to have my tonsils removed. I became a HUGE fan of oatmeal during that time. Once my throat healed, I stuck to the oatmeal and didn’t eat cereal (as often). Afterall, oatmeal is so much healthier right? I remember when I started working out with a personal trainer, I told him how healthy I was because I ate oatmeal (rather than cereal) for breakfast every day. He immediately responded by saying “Oatmeal might be better than cereal, but it really doesn’t have very much nutritional value. You should eat some protein and vegetables with your breakfast, and with every meal.” Wait, what? Oatmeal isn’t a super healthy breakfast choice?!?! I was shocked!
Fast forward a few years, and my breakfasts have transformed from bowls of bland beige oats, to plates of colorful eggs, bacon, spinach, tomato, avocado, bell peppers, onions, salsa, and juicy delicious fruits.
Breakfast: Before and After
My breakfast now contains a lot more protein and fat which keeps me satisfied longer and helps fuel all the muscles I am developing at Crossfit 310.
I love to make my breakfast omelettes (or breakfast “scrambles” when the omelette falls apart). I love to cook breakfast, it is the one meal of the day I feel that I have mastered. If I know I won’t have time to cook something in the morning I will hardboil some eggs the night before or make some of JoJo’s Breakfast Cups the day before and refrigerate them and then pop them in the microwave the next morning. Maybe you don’t like eggs (are you a crazy person? Just kidding, it’s just that I couldn’t LIVE without them) or can’t eat them (I am very sorry if that’s the case), but you can still find something packed with protein for your first meal of the day.
So ditch the bland and beige (cereal, oatmeal, bagels, toast etc) and have a colorful and nutritious breakfast!

was a struggle to match JoJo’s time. pushups were really hard. I think I need to start “greasing the groove” again. pushups in my cubicle at work…?
previous time was 6:23 and I was in MUCH BETTER shape at that time. So I’m happy with my time today.
#
45×5 55×5 60×5 straight press.
WOD: 7:04 RX (??…I know the minutes are correct but can’t remember the seconds bc I forgot to write it down, but this sticks out to me. Will correct tomorrow if needed)
RX! Yay..only my second RX.
I strung 15 straight pushups together without stopping on the first set of 20…best yet, but smoked me for the rest of the WOD. Was very slow on pushups, and was near jumping on wall balls.
