Here comes the weekly tip:
Feed your Body Early!
We have all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but why? When you are able to eat within 30 minutes to a hour of getting up, it supplies your body with the necessay energy to get going. This accomplishes two different things. First, your metabloism gets a jump- start that is needed to burn more calories throughout the day. Second, it puts a stop to the heavier cravings that would normally come before lunch (a simple snack will be sufficient to get you through to lunch). So Feed Your Body Early. This is especially important if you implement any type of early morning exercise.
What to eat: Eggs are a great sorce of protein. What I have been doing is taking the healthy meal left overs from the night before and putting them in to a 3 egg omelett the next morning. Veggie omeletts are fantastic. I do remove one of the yolks from the eggs, to reduce calories.
What not to eat: This doesn't mean that as soon as your wife leaves for a doctors appointment, you make a batch of chochlate chip cookies and you sit down to a big bowl of cookie dough and a tall glass of milk (at least it was skim milk). I don't know who would ever do this!
Exercise: Wall push ups. These are safer then regular push ups. place your hands on the wall at shoulder height with your feet directly beneth you. The farther your feet are from the wall, the more difficult your pushups will be. Do as many reps as you feel you can safely do.
Love you all!

I think I can even do these push ups Mike!!!!!! I'll give it a try. Did you really eat the whole bowl?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The skim milk WAS a good choice by the way!
I just put a big scoop in a bowl, I still made the cookies, and jen loved them.
