Charlotte, I feel the same way as you do sometimes about food. Off season, I never stray too far away from my set cals. I would love to have more variety in my meals but lack time and imagination. So I tend to stick to the things that I know are safe and within my set daily limits. drooling at the thought of cereal and milk. Can't wait for breakfast now!! I am having the Winners Protein Cereal atm. Love it!!
Hope ur having a wonderful weekend.
