Ok, I'm seriously loving this diet plan this morning. The biggest thing I've complained about in the past is the lack of having my coffee in the morning. I'm one of *those* people, yes. But I'm maybe a little worse because I hand grind my own coffee, have my own espresso maker and purchase organic beans! You could definitely say I'm a "Coffee Snob."
I usually have a Breve in the morning, which is apparently an American variation of the standard Latte. They're so wonderfully creamy and it's my one weakness. Ok, I have more than one weakness, but it's my One Morning Weakness. Hehehe.
With the 4kDP, I get half a cup of skim milk! Where I'm supposed to marry it with half a cup of cereal, I'm not a cereal eater, so I married it to my espresso instead. :) Wheeeee! It's not nearly so creamy as a Breve, but it does make me feel spoiled still, which is what the morning espresso is all about anyway. You know, fulfilling that "one weakness" thing. ::grins::
Anyway, I'm way under the calorie count for the breakfast *and* I get something similar to my typical breakfast.
Turns out, Mom's loving this concept, too. She normally has a cup of chai for breakfast. It's a complicated recipe for her: 1 double spice chai tea bag, one single spice chai tea bag, one earl grey tea bag, one envelope of stevia, and four ounces of water. Put that into the micro 1.5 minutes, then let steep 20 minutes or until cold. Add half cup milk and one cup water, put back into the micro for 3 minutes. Pull it out and squeeze the juices out of the tea bags into the cup she's going to drink out of. Then pour the milk mixture in the cup and drink. This, currently, is Mom's "One Morning Weakness." :)
So, we both get to start the day off with our "spoil me!"
