Breakfasting Right

So I thought by now I'd feel something like this:

After all, I've taught myself to treat chocolate and sweets as their own food group, and I haven't had much of either in a couple days. New record.

Enjoying a casual 5 cupcakes on my first trip to Sprinkles, in Scottdale, AZ (all of those bites are from me by the way...)

Nibbling a delicious watermelon pop in Israel after a hike in the Golan Heights. Couldn't even exercise without a little sugar reward ;)

Fortunately, the foods I've been eating have been keeping me surprisingly full, a feeling I'm not quite used to (but strangely enjoying). I don't have random crashes during the day, the 300ish-calorie meals I've been sticking to have definitely helped me stay focused and not suffer insane cravings (I've been known to consume multiple handfuls of chocolate in one sitting).

I started my morning with a nice round of 30-minute yoga, which is probably the only reason I can walk right now (my calves are continuously reminding me of the workouts I've been doing earlier this week). After a satisfying glass of my usual chocolate post-workout protein, I started thinking about what I would make for breakfast before heading to campus for my first class (11 am Health Psychology, if you were wondering). Finally, with 15 minutes to go, I decided on something delicious, but breakfast-simple.

Kashi Bowl:
1 cup Kashi Go-Lean cereal
1/2 sliced banana
3/4 cup almond milk
