This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Jimmy Dean, however the opinions and feelings expressed here are my own.
I am a notoriously poor breakfast eater. Even as a child, I was never hungry in the morning when I got up, and then by the time I was hungry it was that awkward time between breakfast and lunch ("brunch" on a weekend) when you don't know what to eat, so you end up eating whatever is around, and that's not always the best choice.
It's not that I dislike breakfast, I'm just not ready to eat it when the rest of the world is ready, so sometimes I'll grab something small, but it ends up being something small like a cereal bar, or something lying around work like doughnuts. Both of those types of choices always leave me hungry later, and I end up eating more than I would have had I just had a decent breakfast to start with.
As an adult, it's still something I have to work on since I can't always stop in the middle of the work day and go get breakfast.
I'm not sure I'll ever be ready to eat when I wake up, but I'm working on eating something good for me at a more normal hour to start my day off right and keep my eating habits from getting way off schedule, and derailed with junk food. If I start the day off with junk, I tend to crave junk.
I've always read how important it is to have protein at breakfast, it keeps you feeling fuller, longer and it sets the tone for the rest of the day. I've finally decided to take it to heart, and you know what? It works. Who knew? I'm not as hungry and I make better food choices throughout the day.
I have a refrigerator in my office at work, and I've recently stocked it with some good breakfast foods to a. make myself eat them, and b. keep myself from going out and buying stuff. I need to eat healthier overall, and I'm trying to get geared up to make that commitment for the New Year.
Jimmy Dean's Sausage D-lights line is lower carbs and made with turkey sausage that's lower in fat and calories, as well. We've actually been buying the Canadian Bacon Honey Wheat Muffin. Busy Girl needs the protein for early morning volleyball games, and they're quick to microwave in a hotel room which is where we usually are. I've also started keeping them in my work fridge:
I'm getting better at the breakfast thing, and a commitment to eating meals on time and starting the day with some protein is going to be a great start for me to make other healthier changes in my life for the New Year.
If only protein could exercise for me.

I totally need to just eat breakfast. Usually it's yogurt with granola. Going on my list right now so I can start the year right!

My office is close to a McDonald's and for a while (last winter especially) I was just cruising on in 2 or 3 times a week and getting a dollar breakfast item. NOT healthy. I've been on somewhat of a wellness kick lately and I try to make healthier breakfast choices now, like oatmeal or low fat cottage cheese with fresh strawberries and granola.

I have resolved to actually eat breakfast in the morning. Usually I just run out of the house and don’t even think about it. So by mid-morning, I am starving and I have to go the vending machine to get something to snack on. So by eating a healthy breakfast every day, I should be able to curb all of the snacking that I do.

Not only will I learn a new skill, I'm hoping to get healthier with some much-needed exercise.

1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup shredded cheese
Spices to taste
Directions:

Like you, I am not hungry until several hours after I get up. My solution is to eat my healthy breakfast in shifts. Coffee when I get up, a banana in the car on the way to work, a pepperidge farms toasted flat bread with a little peanut butter spread on it. And that pretty much lasts me until lunchtime.

I know a better breakfast can make a better day for me...I usually ditch it all together or eat so late that it messes up my eating schedule and metabolism. To better help this, I need to eat MORE throughout the day, Healthy foods...starting with breakfast. I know the "starve" is not good and the whole DIET thing I am SO tired of. With kids in school I don't worry about feeding myself "normal" anymore until dinner. I'd like to get to a point this year that I can be on track, eat like a normal woman again...where food is just FOOD and not an enemy, enjoy it and let be a tool to improve my rotten health. After that, I can work on getting my MOVE on again and stop being a couch slouch. Having chronic illness doesn't mean you should stop working on yourself just because you have been "dealt" a rotten hand...it means you have to work harder and better at keeping healthy!
Hope I can put that thought into action!
thanks!

I've given up cereal except the occasional oatmeal. I've been trying to eat lots of protein and fruit for breakfast. Lowfat cottage cheese, fruit (not together - I don't think fruit belongs in cottage cheese - yuck), and turkey sausage or I even bought some meatless "sausage" but I haven't been brave enough to try it.

I really am trying to EAT breakfast in the morning, this year. I am trying to include more proteins, rather than the 'bagel and cream cheese' routine that I have gotten used to. It has been harder than I expected, I need to leave myself more time to prepare something to eat in the morning, or get ready the night before.

I have been trying to incorporate more protein in my breakfast. Usually I have a banana and go run, and then have some yogurt afterward. A Jimmy Dean breakfast would be an improvement to my morning routine.

After years of resolving to simply eat less to try to lose weight (and never being successful), this year I changed my resolution to add to my diet; specifically more fiber. I know I don’t get enough fiber in my diet, so I’m adding high fiber foods to each meal. It is much easier to keep this resolution, and I actually do feel better physically.

Since I I am insulin resistant I have changed my diet to include more proteins in my diet and fewer simple carbohydrates. It is making a huge difference especially since I added more cardio to my workout. I have lost 10 lbs and feel more energetic all day through. No more sluggish wake up either. I resolve to keep this up and find creative ways to keep my progress going if I plateau. My goal to to get down to my military weight which is a lot healthier and I can be more active.

Instead of sugary cereal for breakfast I am going to try and make better choices like whole grain bagel with natural peanut butter.

I'm trying to get more exercise in 2011 and to eat healthier too. A deli by us has wonderful egg & cheese wraps - it's a great way to start the day once in a while and not tons of calories either.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I want to start eating oatmeal for breakfast more, so I don't get as hungry.

Well I could say that I plan on sitting down and eating a better breakfast this year, but I really don't plan too. My breakfast usually consists of a cup of coffee from my Keurig in a travel cup and a banana since I never wake up in time for breakfast. I have been eating healthier portions at dinner time though to improve my eating habits.

I'm making better choices by reading food labels, eliminating drive-thru meals *sob* and eliminating all sodas and sweetened beverages. I also make sure to add a fruit or veg to every meal. Just those small changes make a big difference.

Actually, eating breakfast is my goal and drinking the proper amounts of water. In doing both so far this year, the latter more than the former I must admit sheepishly, I have noticed positive change.

I'm trying to cut back on calories and make more healthier choices, like fruit sometimes instead of fries.

I LOVE Jimmy Dean! YUM!! *slurps*
I'm trying so hard to lose this after-baby weight... shes 8 mo old and I've lost 15 lbs and I have 15 more to go! its a daily struggle to make healthy choices and be active. Hard to make enough time in the day, to take care of the baby and get my other little one to (and from) school, plus take care of myself, 2 dogs, the husband the house, but somehow I manage. (Moms do it everyday, but noone tells you how HARD it is! one was easy, two kids, totally diff! Lordy if I had more! ) Lord, grant me the serenity to not freak out over every little tiny mess. My resolution is to lose this weight!~
I am eating healthier and trying hard! .. Wish me luck!!! :)
