Packaging In Breakfast

I have been ill the past week. I think it´s sinus...I´ve said to people, if I could take my head off I´d be fine....contemplating calling the doctor tomorrow and asking for sinus tablets. If I lived in America I could buy them over the counter. Tylenol Cold and Sinus...how I miss you....but here in Norway I have to go through a doctor first....and too finally get some relief, I´m extremely tempted to do just that and call my doctor tomorrow.

I´ve not exercised once this past week and have been scared to death that I´ve put myself back a couple weeks as far as weight loss goes...which has depressed the heck out of me..I haven´t dared to look at the weight scale and was thinking last night that if I can get back on track today and tomorrow, then maybe my weight wouldn´t be so bad when I go in for my official weigh in Tuesday. However, when I woke this morning the temptation to check my weight couldn´t be resisted and I jumped on the scales...only to find to my shock and delight that I haven´t gone up or down since last Monday! So by some miracle I´m no worse off then I was a week ago and can basically pretend this past week never happened and keep going!!! I´m so happy and relieved by this news! 

Even though I still don´t feel in exercise form, I´m back on track with the food and this morning I decided to try an idea I had seen on the net which was so cute....

However, I wanted more stuff IN my egg mixture....so I fried up some fresh spinach in a little olive oil and garlic pepper. I mixed some eggs, put in a couple tablespoons of low cal cottage cheese, the spinach, cut up red onion...and voila....a healthy yummy egg mixture packaged so nicely!

The only problem I had with this neat little packaging is while I only made 2 eggs a piece for the Captain and I, I couldn´t get all the egg mixture in the red pepper. I probably cut the rings too small and next time could cut them a little thicker and then they could hold more egg mixture but today I just ended up making a little omelet on the side...

Still a healthy yummy breakfast :-)

Christmas is around the corner and every year I feel the same way....I´m excited as heck about the decorating and the family time and I HATE the shopping pressure! If it were any other month, I´d love buying stuff for people but I hate having a specific date that I HAVE to have bought something by or it just isn´t Christmas...maybe this is just my view on this...and some people have managed to get around the shopping pressure at Christmas. If you´re one of them, I´d love to know how you manage to have a great Christmas without the pressure of shopping??

I´m really seriously wanting a tree like this for Christmas this year. I have a plastic tree, which I could place in front of my window and then get a tiny real Christmas tree to place on my roof, right above where my inside tree is....that would be SO FUNNY!!! Nothing like making people smile for the holidays right? I think we do a lot of outside decorating for Christmas, but I´m always hoping to add more each year....

It´s so dark here in the woods during the winter and having the Christmas lights makes the whole forest so much more cozy and warm...this year I´m contemplating if I want to add lights to a tree on our property or the new fence....hehehehe....yes, it will cost an arm and a leg for the electricity bill, but Christmas comes but once a year and it´s so worth it! 

Until next time my friends....
