I'm soooooo excited!!

I am very happy to have this blog and finally have figured out some things and gadgets. I thought I was going to go crazy for a minute!! I don't know what will come of this but at least I am putting information out there. My goal and hope is that I can support and assist someone else and also find others who can support and assist me on my journey.
Today, Tuesday, January 4, 2011, started out with a nice kickboxing class at 24 Hour Fitness. I burned close to 500 calories. I have a Polar F7 heart rate monitor however I forgot to turn it on until the last 20 minutes of the class. Fail. The 20 minutes I did record had me at over 200 calories burned!! Great way to start my day!
I don't eat before I workout in the mornings so I came home and had a breakfast I am now calling Jeanette's Egg Breakfast Bagel Sandwich. It doesn't look like a lot or even the most appealing but it is good and filling.
Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup liquid egg whites (Egg Beaters or store brand)
• 1 Bagel Thin (bread and English muffins work too)
• I used Toufayan Bakeries bagel (see food finds page for more info)
• 2-4 slices of Oscar Mayer Canadian Bacon
• 1 tbsp jelly (I prefer grape)

Directions:

1. Follow directions on packaging and cook egg whites and bacon. 
2. Toast bagel thin
3. Spread jelly on bagel thin
4. Assemble sandwich with egg whites and bacon
5. Enjoy!
