Before I tell you what I ate, a very important announcement: I bought a hat, in the style of Kate Middleton.  The full RepliKate will come after an October wedding.  Stay tuned.  Chris thinks it is ridiculous.  I think HE's ridiculous. ANYWAY, breakfast was a hard boiled egg, a plum tomato with basil, pumpernickel toast, and coffee w/ 1% milk.  Thrilling, right?

I digress. Because this could be A Terrible Tragedy in Eating, I've decided to chronicle it here.  But because I didn't take any pictures today, we're going to use some stolen pictures and fine art. Breakfast was a Skinnytaste Banana-Maple Pecan Muffin (only 142 calories)!  It was very yummy, and a great way to use up overripe bananas.  I als
