Easy Cheesy Breakfast Burrito

I couldn’t sleep at all last night ~ doo, doo, doo!  I was having dreams about my workouts, making sure I woke up on time and if I picked the right exercises LOL.  That and The Husband left the TV on and fell asleep.  I was “willing” it to turn off last night because I didn’t have a remote (he was sleeping on it too!) It’s only day 3 ha! 

Today was another successful day and I am having fun with my eats again.  I like the challenge of finding different protein/carb combinations I can eat and seeing how well they keep me full for just 3 hours.

The one benefit of not being able to sleep was that I was up super early for my workout with time to spare for a fantastic breakfast.  Today was a Lower Body Workout and I have to say I didn’t think it kicked my butt, but, I KNOW it didn’t since I am sore already!

My entire workout took me 44 minutes to complete and that includes resting roughly 1 m in between the first 4 sets, no rest for the next 2 and a 2 minute break in between circuits.

I cooled down with a little stretching as well.  I might try to fit some Yoga in tomorrow after my HIIT’s because I am really in need of some DEEP stretching.

I honestly thought my stomach was going to eat itself this morning – I was SO HUNGRY all through my workout.  I couldn’t hold off the hour after my workout before breakfast.  Since I was such an “early riser” I had plenty of time to whip up a quick breakfast.

EASY CHEESY BREAKFAST BURRITO

1 egg

1/4 c 100% Liquid Egg Whites

1/4 c chopped sweet onion

1/4 c chopped bell pepper

2 Tbsp fat free milk

1 Laughing Cow Lite Wedge

Dashes of your favorite hot sauce

Sea Salt & Freshly Ground Pepper to taste

Salsa

La Tortilla Original Low Carb Tortilla (the 50 calorie one).

* Note ~ I bet you could add any combination of veggies to this – I bet spinach & mushroom would be fantastic or maybe even tomato basil too 🙂

Cut up your veggies and saute in a nonstick skillet sprayed with nonstick spray until tender about 5 minutes.  While your veggies cook, combine your egg, egg whites, milk, sea salt, freshly ground pepper and hot sauce.  Add your egg mixture and cook until almost done.  Add the Laughing Cow and stir until blended.  Heat up your tortilla, top with salsa and egg mixture.  Enjoy!

Start off sautéing your veggies in nonstick spray.

 

Add your egg mixture to your veggies.

 

When the eggs are just about done, add the Laughing Cow Wedge.

I threw my tortilla on a burner to heat up while I let the cheese melt.  LOVE that I can do this on my NEW Gas Stove.

 

Tadah!!! Your Eggsellant mixture is ready to chow down on.

 

Add your favorite salsa to your tortilla.

 

Top with the egg scramble.  Check out that hunk of Laughing Cow CHEESE LOVE ~ MMMMM!!!!

 

And because the mixture makes more than can fit in the tortilla, I ate the rest straight from the pan.  Yup, I am classy like that and there was no room on my plate! 🙂

 

My Mid-Morning snack was my favorite new “Milk Shake”.

1 scoop EAS Chocolate Whey Protein Powder

1 banana

ice & water

This was the first time I have drank a smoothie that I was STILL hungry after so I kept guzzling water and had some decaf coffee.  That did the trick and held me over until after my FOREVER LONG wait at DMV today.  I changed the name on the title of my car & have officially paid it off – yahoo!

I came back to a lunch of leftover leftovers!  Sorry, it’s not an exciting lunch but it was so tasty!  I started off with my stir-fry garlic black bean harissa veggies.

Then, moved onto the main course ~ Leftover Sloppy Joes over 1 C Multi-Grain Pasta with a sprinkle of shredded parmesan.  Delish!  I think this might be my favorite new way to have Healthy Joes!

All together in two of my favorite Rock n Serve Tupperware containers.  I LOVE these containers because they are stain proof, leak proof and can go straight from the freezer to the microwave.  Oh and they don’t melt either.  Believe it or not I’ve had these two containers for 10 years.  They are worth the $$ 100%.

 

Ok ~ now that I am done with my Tupperware sales pitch LOL – no, I’ve never worked for them but I have an insane addiction to collecting anything that goes into the kitchen.  My mid afternoon snack I ate on my drive home in traffic. 

1/2 c low-fat cottage cheese

1 c watermelon

I am saving my meal 5 & 6 for my next post so you all can have it as a separate recipe.  That post is up next!
