This morning, I reluctantly had turkey bacon for breakfast. I've decided to make changes to what I eat in baby steps - brown rice instead of white, making sure the bread I buy doesn't have high fructose corn syrup, etc. I've already switched to turkey sausage (which by the way is very yummy) and so this morning I tried turkey bacon. Would you believe it actually tasted pretty good? Definitely not as good as "real bacon" but I think I could get used to it.
I haven't run or knit since Sunday, and have been up past midnight each night trying to get a work project done. I hate when life gets in the way. Since it's already 75 degrees here, I doubt I'll be going out for a run later, but we'll see. I'm still tossing around the idea of signing up for the lottery for the Nike Women's Marathon. I suppose I have nothing to loose right? Just means that if I don't get it, I'll have to have another half as a back up plan, since I want to make sure I reach my goal of running a half before 2009. Hope everyone's having a good week!

I always eat turkey bacon when I eat bacon. I really like it. I think you acquire a taste for it over time and I actually think it is good.
I think those baby-step changes make a huge difference... slowly, you're adding healthier things to your body without thinking too hard about it. The hardest thing I think is portion control.... oh well.
better than the turkey bacon?
MORNING STAR FARMS SAUSAGE PATTIES!!

(dont tease me about that hat :) Id buy one!)
I bought turkey bacon once and then forgot to try it before it went bad... hahah. But baby steps is all it takes ;-)
But i do LOVE the morningstar farms sausage patties. mmmmmmmm.
I wish I wasn't allergic to brown rice. I love the taste and would love to incorporate it into the diet but I get sick for a day or two after I eat it. Boo.
You have to try the turkey italian sausage for spaghetti sauce!! its amazing!!
Thank you for your comment ... I really appreciated that!
What Carla said. Dude. Morningstar anything is awesome. I eat the veggie sausage patties (one of the few processed vegan foods I allow myself) and seriously they are BETTER than regular sausage anything I've ever tasted. Have you tried tempeh bacon? Delish.
Sign up for the Nike Womens Half!!! Just Do it!!!!
Southbay Girl
Just do it! Do it!!!!
I never can get turkey bacon to cook correctly. I'll stick with the morning star sausages or "real" bacon...but I usually settle for none at all.
As far as the Nike 1/2, I agree with pkpwv --
JUST DO IT!!!
(If that's not enough motivation -- think of the *bling*!!)
Javadad loves his bacon otherwise I would totally buy that!
The next step is to go for the boca burger breakfast links. I'm not sure what they're made of, but it's definitely not meat :-)
Hey! I am a running knitter too! We rock, don't we?
YUMMY!!
Great work on the Baby Steps!! It will pay off...
We love turkey bacon at our house. Good stuff! Ground turkey (seasoned with oregano, garlic and basil!) is great in spaghetti, too.
Ooooh, and go for the Nike Women's Half - what a fun, powerful goal!
I have gotten to the point where I actually prefer turkey bacon. Less greasy, but still delicious.
