1% Thursday: The Night Before the Morning After

I feel terrible every morning.  Yes, it’s true.  That doesn’t mean I’m in a bad mood every morning, just that I don’t feel well.  That means that I’m not necessarily trying to eat healthy – I’m trying to survive.

Times like this are not great times to turn over a new leaf when it comes to eating.  The plan must be made earlier.  Maybe some of the work can even be done earlier.

So here’s the tip – plan ahead when it comes to your breakfast routine.  That means, first, plan on what you’re going to eat.  That also means make sure it’s ready.  Do you have the ingredients you need?  Is there any way you can make preparation faster and easier?

For example, do you want to eat oatmeal in the morning?  Did you know you could make a week’s worth all at once, so that you have less to do in the morning?  Here’s how you can make a week’s worth in about 5 minutes.  Or how about your own healthy instant oatmeal?

Use those ideas to spark your own creativity.  What kind of headache or migraine-fighting breakfast can you make quickly and easily?  You’ll be surprised what a huge difference a good breakfast can make.
