Breakfast Of Champs

The High Schooler started 2-A-Days this week for soccer. He practices from 8 AM to 10 AM then back at 4 PM to 6 PM, 6 days a week. Here is his breakfast each morning. He needs something in his stomach before he goes to practice that wont make him sick. He is 16 and is hungry when he wakes up! So the Jello puts a little something in the belly and, of course, the Advil is for the aching muscles that will follow after practice. He has had raspberry, orange & grape...I am saving his favorite - strawberry banana for Saturday - this strategy I believe will get a big "I love You Mommy" from him on Saturday *nodding*. You see, during this week, no soccer balls are used in the AM session...FITNESS drills only! (I use this same philosophy for mammograms as well, take pain medicine BEFORE you go, ladies...although the mammogram places are not allowed to tell you this as they do not know your medical history... it will make your day by far, less painful).
This, I found out today, is what is being had for lunch by High Schooler...HELLOOOO...we are trying to get into better physical shape right now...how 'bout a salad, some fruit, or maybe some yogurt with cereal...Jeeeeezzzzz.

*shrugging shoulders* Awww heck...I love the kid anyway! I just can't help myself....

Hmmm.....is jello for breakfast any better than a toaster strudel for lunch, Annie? Where's the homemade pickles? Or fruit? Hmm?????
