Six days a week DH and I have one of five different cold cereals with fruit (bananas, strawberries, blueberries, etc.) and 1% milk, coffee w/half&half, toast or English muffins w/butter (or coffee cake/muffin). Sundays we have thick sliced bacon, fried or scrambled eggs, coffee cake or muffins, coffee. In winter I often have oatmeal w/raisins + dates instead of cold cereal. My standby cold cereal is mini-wheats. WE LIKE BREAKFAST! (BTW, neither of us is overweight: 115 lbs for me; 185 for him.) My grandmother had the same breakfast every day: Shredded wheat w/milk, a soft boiled egg on buttered toast, a pot of tea with sugar. She lived into her nineties.

In anyone's world, Deeby, both regular and diet sodas can have a negative effect on your health. My comment stands, the decision is obviously yours.

well I can't remember the last time I ate a donut so I kinda doubt it, but I wouldn't be opposed to trying a bite. I do love sweet and savory together, my husband doesn't. We both like egg sandwiches on occasion. We are both avoiding this kind of stuff, you know come to think about it I don't think I have ever been in a Dunkin Donuts or had one, I have years ago had Krispy Kreme which was super sweet.

Unfortunately, I am very lax on exercising... I used to go to the pool and exercise when I lived in former town, but it got to the place the chemicals made me itch and break out so badly that my skin bled... I walked 3-4 miles a day...then came 3 joint replacements and arthritis in every joint in my body and I have constant pain. The surgeon who relpaced one of my hips, cut the nerves and I walk with a terrible wabble and it feels like it is caving in with each step, and no fixing it...the nerves are dead....so makes my back hurt and have terrible balance when I do try to walk. I have gained a lot of weight and it know it makes all of my health problems worse..plus I am blessed with tremors in my hands..so I think I have just given up on extending my years. I am able to keep up with my house and take care of my personal needs, but life has lost its "fun" for me any more.
