Sunny Sunday ☀

So yesterday I weighed in 1lb lighter and measured 2 inches smaller in my belly! I'll take it!
 Yesterday was a gorgeous Saturday, V made us run outside, and while I was grumbling inwardly I must say it felt wonderful to be outside in the fresh air and sunshine. Turns out running around with a weighted ball in my arms was an excellent warm up for the rest of my day. My sister moved into her new apartment yesterday and helping her carry all those boxes and dresser drawers up three flights of stairs just seemed like an extension of our morning workout.

So, onto today. I really wanted to do nothing but lay in the sunshine today, but alas, I'll have to food prep at some point. Maybe I'll wait until the rain starts this afternoon and I'm forced back inside. Prepping for at least the first three days of the week is 100% necessary for me. My job as a nanny to a 3 month-old baby girl means I have to leave my house no later than 6:30am. I was never much of a morning person, so having food already prepared means I'm not scrambling to find breakfast within an hour of waking, and I can have my lunch and snacks packed ahead of time. Makes 6am MUCH easier.

 I am a Pinterest addict. I find all kinds of great ideas to copy there. This morning I made my own version of these egg white breakfast things I'd seen on Pinterest. It's like an omlette and a muffin had a baby.
 Here's what I used:

3 eggs
3/4 cup liquid egg whites
 Baby spinach leaves
Chopped bell pepper
 Chopped red onion
 1 tbls low-sodium bacon bits (30cals per tbls)
 Pinch of each: sea salt, chili powder, cumin & crushed red pepper (I like my food spicy!)
Olive oil spray
 Muffin pan

 I sprayed 4 muffin cups, put veggies in each cup and sprinkled a few bacon bits in each cup (30 cals divided by 4 cups is less than 8 calories per muffin). Mix the spices/seasonings with the eggs and whites and beat. Pour over veggies in each cup. Bake 450*F for 15mins

 In hind sight, I probably could have made 5-6 muffins with these measurements. They kind of overflowed. But they are quite tasty, I had one this morning for my breakfast, and I'll use the others for my next 3 breakfasts.
