Last night, I was already craving a fantabulous breakfast with visions of Great Harvest rolls floating through my head. So, I set my alarm and tried to mentally prepare myself to wake up at the first alarm instead of hitting snooze.
I set my alarm for 6:30am.
Fast forward to this morning. The alarm went off. I felt sooo groggy. I figured one snooze wouldn’t hurt. After one snooze, though, I was up. Imagine my surprise when I turned on the TV to get the news on and I saw the time – 5:40am. What the…?
That’s right. My clock was BROKEN! It was an hour off!
So, the bad news was I lost an hour of sleep. The good news is that I’m awake extra early!!
With my extra time, I prepped that breakfast I was craving. Plus coffee and water to drink.
An egg (cage-free) sammie on a Great Harvest honey whole wheat roll.
A Virginia roll with local honey drizzle. (Both rolls re-heated in the oven for that fresh-baked taste).
Plus all the berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) leftover from yesterday’s delicious vegan/GF fruit tart (click to view the festivities).
Nom nom nom!
Anywho, so I’m a little extra sleepy today, but some positive things have resulted. While I’m normally hitting snooze right about now, I’ve started enjoying a delicious breakfast and I even have time to blog! Sweet! I actually like waking up early, I’m just not so good at it.
Happy Monday!
What are you having for breakfast to start your week?
I agree, I like waking up early but I’m not always good at it 😉
I love waking up early (most of the time!) but I usually go to sleep pretty early!
What a great breakfast to start the week, guess it’s good you are up early.
Hi Diana, I’ve just recently started reading and wanted to say hello. Your breakfast looked delicious. I may have to go pick up the items for egg sammies so I can have them tomorrow. I really relate to having trouble getting up early. I was like a zombie in the mornings. Then I signed up for a workout at 6 am and have been waking up at 5:15 for the past four weeks. I like it, but I don’t think I would have been able to with out the incentive. Keep up the good work!
At least it happened the other way around. My alarm went off and I ended up being off (later) by almost an hour. I have never showered so fast.
Breakfast looks great!
Love the morning post!!! Your breakfast looked so good, I had a buckwheat pancake, 1 egg, and a strip of turkey bacon! I always reward myself after a good workout!
I am boring; usually a cup of Kashi 7 Whole Grain Puffs with one packet of TruVia and 1/2 cup 1% organic milk and a morningstar farms veg. sausage for protein. 🙂 I hate getting out of bed but do like an early start though I rarely manage it.
Since Lent is over and I can eat bread again (yay!) I had some POWER TOAST, which I have been DYING to try since I saw it on your blog over Lent. It was super yummy and kept me full until lunch (about 6 hours!). It was Great Harvest Low- Carb (don’t know if they have that in your neck of the woods, but it has tofu in it = more protein!) with Maranatha PB + Chia and Flax seeds. To quote you, “nom nom nom!” that plus a tall soy latte and I was set until lunch!
