Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, due to the fact that it lets our body know that it is time to wake up your metabolism and start burning fat, I want to create this challenge!

I am bad about not eating breakfast but I want to improve because I know the importance of eating breakfast.

Breakfast Challenge:

You must eat breakfast every day for a week... the meals must be eaten within 1 hour of waking up... post what you had to eat every day. Is anyone up for taking the Challenge with me? We will start every Monday and you can post a smiley face for each week you have done it successfully and it starts over every Monday! If you skip or don't complete a week you still get to keep all of your smiley faces for weeks completed.

The first on to 10 smiley faces wins!!! We will start on Monday. Jan 26th!!!

So there's no room to mess up on this ... one smiley for each (five-day) week and the first to 10 weeks wins?

I'm in.

Also, is it from the time I wake up or the time I get out of bed? Sometimes those are 30 minutes apart... (LOL)

from the time your feet hit the floor... every single day... 7 days a week... 5 is not a full week!

7 days a week? That is tough, but count me in! I am taking the kids to the grocery store today. Mark said he wants to play too!

Sounds great Junior... you'll have to make Mark a post... or sign him up and let him post!

Ducky, you still in for tomorrow???

Any other takers?

I'll do it. I always thought I was good about eating breakfast... but today I just realized I got up at 7:30 and didn't eat breakfast until 10:30!!!

Yep, I'm in .. even if you're counting all seven days.

That's why it's called a challenge!!! If everyone was already doing it... that would be too easy!

What constitutes for a healthy breakfast?

Day 1 done!

Week 1
day 1: Woke up at 8:15; at 8:30 ate a banana, a cup of Special K with berries cereal and a small glass of milk.
tuesday: Woke up at 9, ate a banana and had coffee at 9:30
wednesday: Up at 8:20-ish, same food as Monday at 8:45
thursday: up at 9:50; ate a banana and coffee at 10:30

saturday: up at 945; banana and cereal at 10:30
sunday: up at 8:45; banana and coffee at 9:15.

For the first few weeks, let's just focus on eating breakfast... if you want it to be a healthy breakfast... more power to you!

Right now let's tackle just putting something in your body when you wake up. If you are ready for the next step and want to make it healthy please go for it... be my inspiration!

Woke up at 7:00 a.m. had a blueberry muffin, realized I didn't need to be up for another 2 hours so I went back to sleep... woke up again at 9:30 had a second breakfast of an orange and cereal just so you guys can't say I didn't eat when I got up!

On Sunday I will go through and award smiley faces for everyone who completes the entire week and keep the tally... that way it doesn't get too confusing. So make sure you post your breakfast online, because that is what I will go by!
